Jiri was just as if not more fast tracked. I do believe that he has very favorable matchups so far, however.
He wasn't really fastracked at MW, he benefited from Izzy having already fought and beaten most of the top 10. When Alex fought Strickland they were the only 2 guys in the top 10 that Izzy had not already beat that were on winning streaks. I would argue he was fastracked morr at LHW but by that point he was a former MW champion so they kind of had to give him a top 10 guy in his first fight at LHW.What did you expect?
The guy was already a vet when he joined UFC
Everyone was talking about how it was impossible for him to get a title shot. He was too old, first grappler would expose him, he wouldn't have enough time to learn take down defence
Pereira needed to get fast tracked. He was sign to face Adesanya
And his title shot was legit, he beat a top 5 and future champ
Aldo retired at 36, same age as Poatan now
Khamzat, on the other hand, sign UFC at 26, was also fast tracked, but wasted opportunities
That bit is spot on there, after Izzy beat Jared there was straight up no one else available for him outside of Pereira.How can anyone be mad at Alex?
Guy delivered. Was put to the test and achieved greatness.
He's also very exciting.
I might also add that Alex solved a log jam et MW and LHW.
There was no one for Izzy anymore and LHW is a shit show.
How is getting ducked constantly Khamzat's fault?What did you expect?

Lurker and fan I see of ol DreygaWas half expecting "you will vote for drega" or whatever his name is to come into this discussion and bring the salt
Loves me some saltLurker and fan I see of ol Dreyga
The Diaz ppv falling through was absolutely his faultHow is getting ducked constantly Khamzat's fault?
Nothing wrong with that my guy.Loves me some salt
He is. He has some of the best work ethics in the UFC and never back down once opponents were given. He just needs to prove 2 more fights against aggressive wrestlers, Chimaev and Ankalaev.Isn't he considered the glory GOAT? He put in the work in the UFC I have no problem with him jumping the line
Who? After his last fight Costa, Cannonier and Whittaker have all mentioned wanting to fight Khamzat. I think Vettori also said he would like that fight.How is getting ducked constantly Khamzat's fault?
The point is 185 hasn't had very good grappling in a long time. You're saying Alex hasn't "faced a true grappler", as if he's been ducking them, which is beyond stupid lol. It's not his fault the talent pool at MW is low on grappling.Where do you see me mentioning Izzy? You triggered yourself with your own fantasy argument lol fascinating.
