I recognize these guys aren’t all in the same division but they are some of the biggest prospects in the UFC right now and neither has held a title.

I m hoping Khamzat has the best overall career but my money would be on Shavkat having the better overall career. Bo is a close second but i think it’s safe to say Shavkat will beat the winner of Colby v Leon and have a title run.

not so sure about Khamzat and Bo yet.
 
1. Khamzat chimaev will not be doing belt hugging besides he is the better fighter of them all. I honestly don't see a fighter he can't beat in the MW.. I think khamzat will fight the whole division within 14-24 months.. Mann has not a single match up to hide from and he will be favourite in all bouts.. The only thing that could stop him is long term injury.. He wants to chellenge himself and is ambitous a rare combo that attracts interest.

khamzat will fight the whole division within 14-24 months unless he is beaten inbetween his run which I highly doubt.. On monthly basis or 6 weeks. The belt itself is irrelevant if hugging it or being protected by grapplers if you don't want to become the best to do it is pointless.

2. Shavkat

Bo is not on the landscape at this point

Khamzat seems to have a higher ceiling to me. He’s got more wrestling credentials than Shavkat and better striking than Bo imo.

Bo has the best pure wrestling of all imo and Craig Jones says he’s got some good JiuJitsu and who am I to say otherwise.

Shavkat seems the most well rounded to me good striking, good submissions, and good wrestling.
 
Khamzat's wrestling is terrifying and a great equalizer,but he seems to seriously lack career focus.

Shavkat's well rounded,cool under fire,but got defensive holes

Bo also got great wrestling but need to see how he does at the higher levels.

Id say a focused Khamzat,fighting often,has the higher ceiling

But at the same time shavkat has better striking and adequate wrestling, while bo has elite wrestling and we haven’t seen enough of his striking yet

He’s got the weakest résumé of the 3. We will have to see if he can make his elite wrestling elite MMA wrestling.
 
i don't follow wrestling, how good was bo as a wrestler comparin to the likes of cormier or askren
 
1. Bo (if he starts getting active again)
2. Shavkat
3. Khamzat

This is my feeling now but I may change my mind depending on how Khamzat does vs Costa. Not that Costa is a world beater but he's a tough dude and very big for MW and a great test for Kham at that weight.
 
Khamzat has all the talent in the world but bad fight IQ. If he keeps going balls out in the first round he is going to lose a decent number of fights. He and Rosas have the same strategy. It's fun to watch but isn't going to work at the top of the division.
 
Tbh I still think khamzat

he lost some crucial time during his prime but the middleweight division is very vulnerable and he’s even made waves at welterweight as well. Depending on his activity, he could commence a title reign in 1-2 more fights.

bo is great but just way too early for me to say with him.

shavkat is amazing but his willingness to be in brawls concerns me in the current welterweight division. Imo he’ll win the title but there’s lots of tough strikers for him to face and it’s gonna be tough if he gets into too many wars
