Strickland is officially ducking Khamzat…

[chinarice]

How do you duck a guy that never fights?

Yet I'm sure you said nothing when Abus was fighting Sean. lol

 

[Sasha]

I think a rematch should happen because it was a robbery

It seems unfair, they should be tried, and sent to a penal colony anyway, say Guiana.

Yet I'm sure you said nothing when Abus was fighting Sean. lol

You are the only one talking about Abus.

Sean was a replacement fighter.

What actually are you talking about?

 

[The XL]

Sean has shown the ability to get up when taken down pretty easily. I wouldn't be shocked at all if he beat Khamzat.

Exactly. lol

Why did Abus deserve a fight with Sean again? Who did he beat?

If Khamzat isn't worthy, Sean will beat him easily and prove he doesn't belong.

 

[MMAFanCal]

I was rooting for Dricus, but after what I saw last night, Strickland mops the floor with Khamzat in a 5 round fight. A 3 round fight would be closer, but I still think Strickland has the edge even there if Strickland can weather the storm in round 1 like Burns was able to.

Just say you want Strickland to avoid Khamzat

 

[jeff7b9]

Exactly. lol

If Khamzat isn't worthy, Sean will beat him easily and prove he doesn't belong.

I'm fine with Sean vs Khamzat but I'd rather see Sean fight again in 2024


If Khamzat worked his way thru the ranks like a regular contender it will be fun to see how his title fight goes in 2035 or so.

 

[Gangstub]

Sean has shown the ability to get up when taken down pretty easily. I wouldn't be shocked at all if he beat Khamzat.

Khamzat has tapped him 5 times in under 10 mins when they sparred. Strickland admitted that. He has nothing for him on the ground.

 

[Gangstub]

Exactly. lol

That’s what they don’t get. Their delusion is showing how much deflection and ducking is going on. If Strickland dosen’t get the rematch, we’d all rather see him vs Khamzat then a Jared rematch.

You’re saying that as if that fight makes it out the first. Strickland is NOT the grappler Burns and Usman are.

 

[jeff7b9]

Not at all.

I'd love to see Khamzat actually face actual ranked contenders.

I just happen to live in earth and not your weird khamzat fantasy land.

Sean has earned the right to fight elite MWs.

Khamzat has talked a lot of shit on twitter and fought WWs but hasn't made 170 to fight them.

The entitlement with Khamzat fans is out if this world. I used to be one then I saw the guy for what he is.

Khamzat is ranked #9 all other opponents are booked right now besides Cannonier (surgery) and Strickland. Strickland has no other choice. That’s why he’s pushing for this rematch.

 

[jeff7b9]

Khamzat might struggle with a 5 round fight.

We have no idea what shape he will be in in 5-10 years when he actually books a 5 round fight.

 

[JoeRowe]

DDP vs Izzy
Cannonier vs Khamzat
Sean vs Rob/Costa winner

He is pushing for a rematch because it is for the title and increased pay.

So now fighters seeking lucrative title shots are "ducking" guys with no ranked wins?

So the only reason he wants a rematch is fear of Khamzat.

Not because it was coin flip fight that plenty thought he won, not because it would be for the title.

Nope all irrelevant, just shitting his pants.

 

[jeff7b9]

DDP vs Izzy
Cannonier vs Khamzat
Sean vs Rob/Costa winner

Sounds great. Hopefully booked soon if those guys are healthy.


I'd maybe switch it like this, but I get it isn't a meritocracy so it won't go that way.

All title fights are ducking Khamzat apparently.

A robbery? That fight was about as close as you can get. Could have gone either way.
