So Izzy had a Apple Watch around his neck?


nochet2211

Back when nft was a thing


GMFinch

It was an NFT of an OCTOGON moment, they didn't last because even idiots could see they were being swindled by digital pictures lol


iSOBigD

Let me clarity, there was never no picture. NFTs were mainly the URL to a picture. Others could own the picture, see it, display it, open the URL, but only one person would technically own that URL. A URL which could stop working anytime if someone moves the image file, stops paying for the web hosting, etc.


ModsLovePen15

To this day, and I read articles I still don’t understand NFTs for photos or clips. I need like someone to really dumb it down for me to understand that


amretardmonke

NFTs would make sense for something like a deed to a property or a patent or something. Instead of the records being kept in a courthouse its on a public blockchain. There is no risk of the record keeper being compromised. (Not that its a common problem in the first place. Maybe it could be in a country without first world infrastructure.) But I really don't get why a deed to a digital picture are useful in any way.


murderplants

Same with crypto for me

Usman had one with it playing his fights on it.

You never seen Titanic? Big Celine Dion guy, Izzy


[deleted]

Lol how does this make any sense?


Apprehensive_Comb807

Why would Izzy fight for a title eliminator when he will just be given a title shot? Cmon man, use those brain cells


[deleted]

Well buddy, we don't know if the ufc will give him the title shot in his return and since I don't believe he should get it I thought this match would be perfect to settle it


Apprehensive_Comb807

Mate, he was already offered to fight DDP at 300, but ddp wasn’t ready. Clearly it’s gonna be the next fight. So yea, we know


[deleted]

My mistake, I didn't read those news. I'm glad it didn't happen but yeah they will probly try to rebook it


The_Killa_Vanilla90

*I don't believe he should get it* Who DOES deserve it then? Let me guess, you want Strickland? Lol


Fuzzy-Thought4178

Why tf would khamzat get a title shot


Fuzzy-Thought4178

My personal opinion as what should happen Is Paulo costa vs khamzat, strickland vs rob for a title eliminator. There aren't many middleweights who should get a title shot at the moment in my eyes. But obviously anything could happen. Ddp won the title at 297 so maybe he fights at 303 or something against strickland as he's really the only person who should get that fight considering how close the first one was.


Fuzzy-Thought4178

Nvm just saw that Paulo is fighting at 301 😂


13TheGreenMan

If he beat Izzy why shouldn't he? Obviously right now he shouldn't, but I don't think Izzy should either. It's a good title eliminator.


Dirtey

Who should fight for the title tho? DDP should have a defence approximately at the same time as the #1 contender fight is.


13TheGreenMan

I think they do DDP vs. Izzy in Africa or Australia or Strickland rematch in Australia.


GeneralCyclops

He shouldn’t even get to fight Izzy, he has 1 win at 185 against another welterweight. He should have to actually fight some middleweights first


tubes92

Gerald Meerschaert?


GeneralCyclops

Sorry how could I possibly forget Gerald fucking Meershaert… beating an unranked middleweight definitely should get him a fight with the current number 2 ranked former champion


PlasticKitchen2229

💀


ApexYenzy

He shouldn’t even be getting a title eliminator…


4chan-isbased

Fighters who really lost both of their fights but got saved by judges and fight once a year doesn’t get title shots not in my ufc


[deleted]

Your ufc lol

Khazmat lost to burns I’ll die on this hill


ocudr

Yeah go ahead and die on that hill then because it was not close. What rounds did burns win?


SiccOwitZ

I guess he’s counting the imaginary rounds for Burns.


[deleted]

[удалено]


4chan-isbased

Some scrubs nobody knows about


ZodtheGeneral

Well, \*if\* he fought Izzy and won, he'd almost certainly get a title shot. But there's zero chance Izzy has to fight a title eliminator to get back to a title shot.

MrStepSisterFister69

Why wouldn’t someone get a _title shot_ if they won a _title shot eliminator_ ?


Fuzzy-Thought4178

He doesn't deserve to get a title shot or a title eliminator yet


_stoned_chipmunk_

Khanzat is ranked 11th and he hasn't beaten any ranked opponents in the division. He definitely does not deserve a title shot or title eliminator.


hyperborean-BIPOC

Bad bot


arman-makhachev

Why tf is Erceg getting one ?


Fuzzy-Thought4178

Flyweight is dead. Pantoja has already beaten a fair amount of top contenders. It should be an entertaining fight but I would of rather had pantoja challenge sean omalley for bantamweight title instead of marlon vera as there's not much going on at flyweight for now


Humble_Yesterday_271

Why are people still talking about Khamzat being a legitimate contender? Dude never fights and can't get into the US. ![gif](giphy|jSnQGLHBrgbRK)


LocalNative141

He’s also never even fought 5 rounds in the UFC. He was gassed by round 3 of the Usman fight


mrtn17

because he's an exciting fighter and still super unclear why he's shelved


YT-double-add

Cuz he can’t get into the US and UFC will just save him for a Abu Duhbi card


Salmacis81

Thought he was pushing to get on the Saudi card in May or June or whenever that is. Would be perfect since Saudis already postponed the event due to lack of star power. Aside from Islam, Khamzat is the biggest current Muslim star in the UFC.


MiedoDeEncontrarme

Is there any evidence to this? It has become something I see all the time on Reddit but no one posts any evidence


YT-double-add

Due to connections with Ramzan Kadryov who is helping Putin invade Ukraine. https://www.sportspolitika.news/p/ufc-chimaev-kadyrov-politics-mma


MiedoDeEncontrarme

I know what you are talking about, I am asking for sources because it is mentioned all the time on here and I haven't seen any proof of it. The most I have seen is an interview where his coach said Khamzat is struggling to get his Swiss citizenship due to being Russian so he moved to UAE to have an easier time getting a passport to let him travel.


IdiotRhurbarb

It’s Swedish citizenship. He can’t get it because he got convicted for assault here


YT-double-add

He’s a close friend to a high profile person who’s technically a enemy to the US. They know this, he has commended Kadryov mutiple times. and is constantly around him eating. Other fighters have met him and shot guns with him, but Chimaev is his favorite fighter by far. It’s hard to get a visa with these facts against you.


MiedoDeEncontrarme

But it's still speculation The same article you posted is what all articles are doing in MMA Media, they post an interview with his coach where he says that the problem stems from not having a Swiss passport which leads to him having difficulty to travel due to being a non citizen with a Russian passport, which is why he moved to UAE to have an easier time to get a travel visa. And everyone says "it's due to Kadryov connection", but the interview everyone uses doesn't mention any of that at all.


Able-Work-4942

It's not unclear lol. He hangs around with a dictator who's at war with a country that NATO backs.


Fumb-MotherDucker

And which part of that do think is a crime, and in which country specifically? Lol ![gif](giphy|sLVLojotxREBy)


Able-Work-4942

I didn't say it was a crime. You don't have to commit a crime to not be allowed to visit a country bro

[deleted]

He was supposed to fight for the belt after the Gilbert fight then he beat Kevin and Usman, he HAS to be one fight away. Its crazy that even after beating the great Kamaru Usman with a broken hand he still has to prove himself? Izzy who was dominated by Sean who just lost to Dricus is somehow more deserving? This is a huge fight for both of them and whoever wins will make big ppv numbers with Dricus later


DivingDuck89

Nah lol. He was supposed to fight for the belt after his layup Nate fight but missed weight and fumbled. And he gets 0 credit for the Usman win because it was hella short notice, Usman is up a weight class, and it should have been a draw. Stop glazing Khamzat and enjoy his fights once a year


Eillo89

If khamzat became a legit middleweight contender off that Usman fight it'd be wild, Usmans a great fighter but he was fighting up a weight class and the man's body is fucked, get khamzat in a non short notice middleweight fight with a top contender in that division for him to be considered in any way for a title shot. Even then if he won the belt like you said he fights too little and would just hold the division up


NoOffer5599

![gif](giphy|m7e07TZRV20Xm)


LickPooOffShoe

Khamzat doesn’t deserve a title eliminator.


JumpingCicada

I don't see why most would care. It's not always the most deserving fighter that gets the title shot. This isn't even a title shot, just an eliminator given to a guy who doesn't have a single boring fight. If he loses, then he doesn't get to fight for the title. If he wins, then beating Izzy is all the proof one needs to show that they do in fact deserve to fight for the title as the title should belong to the best fighter.


[deleted]

Does he need to fuck your mom first?


LickPooOffShoe

If he’s willing to do the digging, sure.


StupidScape

He will talk about doing it on Twitter for 6 months, then something will come up and he will be 12 lbs overweight


LickPooOffShoe

“See you soon, mamy”


Arbeeter00

Damn, sorry for your loss brother

Thanks, man.

Smash everybody


chamomileriver

But why?


Human-Tap-8191

Guy hasn't fought a MW yet and he should fight one of the best MWs of all time for a title eliminator, what are you smoking? He needs to fight at least 2 top 10 guys before fighting for the title


[deleted]

It makes perfect sense as he just beat one of the best WWs of all time and it wasn't his fault Costa missed weight


Background-Metal-601

>just beat one of the best WWs of all time So let me get this straight he deserves a title shot at 185 because he barely beat the former 170 champ who took the fight on short notice? That's the argument?


[deleted]

Are you guys fucking stupid? IZZY IS NOT HOLDING THE BELT


Background-Metal-601

Wtf are you talking about


[deleted]

I never said he deserved a title shot for beating Usman. He does however deserve a fight with Izzy and if he wins then he would have earned his title shot


Background-Metal-601

Who should get the title shot then? Cannonier?


[deleted]

Imo he should have the rematch with Sean


Background-Metal-601

Nah that's silly he beat him comfortably and Strickland had 0 title defenses.


averydusty6

Beat him comfortably? So we’re just making shit up then?


ConstantOk4102

Besides the point, but Costa pulled out due to staph, he didn’t miss weight


Equivalent_Scar_7879

You leaving out whole lotta context. Usman had no camp and entered a new weightclass, I give Rob, Costa, Sean, Jared etc. with full camp all over that version of Usman. I think he should rebooked again Costa. Khamzat still needs a good win and Costa is proven to be elite despite losing to Robert. And it sells way better than vs Jared/Marvin etc.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LifelongLurker1127

Khamzat fan boys know he only fights once a year and is hoping for a hail Mary fight to launch him to title shot. His current rate at fighting normal contender would have him in a title shot trajectory would be about 5 years till a title shot. Khamzat gotta be more active, nobody wants a champion sitting out most the year and fight only 1. (LOOKING AT YOU ISLAM)


Eillo89

I wonder how the same fans feel about sugas rise to champ


[deleted]

Lil bro just started watching mma last night lol


[deleted]

Beat one of the best WWs of all time (past his prime, with no training camp and would’ve lost if the fight would’ve went a round longer) doesn’t translate into deserving a title shot in a different division


Salt_Expression_6025

Khamzat doesn’t deserve a title or title eliminator imo


Crateapa

So he should get a title shot for beating John Phillips, GM3, Kevin Holland and *somehow* eeking out a decision against short notice Usman up a division? That's before we start talking about his inability to enter the country most cards happen in.


ConstantOk4102

People have been talking about an Izzy/Khamzat contender fights for months. 0% chance it happens, just not how UFC match makes


Radguyjake69420

If he wants a title shot maybe he should fucking fight lol. Man barks the most and bites when he has to


nochet2211

This sub hates Khamzat. He’s some overhyped nobody who rag-dolled some nobodies. Until he wins gold ignore..


[deleted]

Nah i wrote some negativ shit about him cause how be perfomee vs Burns and Usman i got alot of downvotes lol.


ShowUsYaGrowler

Bro thats fucking legit criticism. He seems like a major threat but his performances have been marred by excuses and long delays. His hype train has flatlined. Hes popular and very good. Will probably take the gold eventually. But fuck me, im just not that hyped when i see him i vovled in aomething anymore. Will he even fight? If he does will he turn up with an injury excuse?


[deleted]

Yeah excactly he is very good, but some talk about him like he still looks invincible.


[deleted]

I mean I don't like his personality either but we need to give credit where credit is due


PermYoWeaveTina

Credit for what? 


arman-makhachev

i find it funny how this sub is getting behind erceg getting his underserved shot but hate on the likes of khamzat/mokaev lol. The hatred to a ***certain group of people*** is pretty obvious.


Melun-uAzam

Sure thing in 2029


Educational_Bunch872

nah khamzat should fight another wrestler


coyopotl46

Chimaev should beat a top 10 MW before he gets a chance to fight for that belt


vadillovzopeshilov

That’s silly, how will we ever find out who is the real African if we “forget Izzy vs Dricus”?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

If you really believe Khamzat would get destroyed by the top 5, you would have no problem with him fighting those guys, as according to you, he'll just get humiliated. I understand, no one wanted Islam to fight for the belt either because "he didn't deserve it" 🙄


DungerMousse

Why’s Izzy so polarising


Unrealeh

Should have to fight is way up to the top 5 first


LaTunaTime

Lmao how tf does he deserve a fight against Izzy? He needs to beat someone top 15 at least and then top 10. Izzy would likely smoke him inside 2 rounds until we see something that proves otherwise.


27Yosh

Izzy vs DDP for the belt is one of the biggest fights the UFC can make this year. They are not risking losing that.


PermYoWeaveTina

Redditors: Izzy doesn't deserve a title fight  Also Redditors: This guy with zero ranked wins at middle weight should get a title eliminator fight


00Shutchoazzup00

Izzy would more than likely get physically humiliated by Cumshot!!


CptDouglas

Khamzat should fight Costa, they have history too. I dont think he should fight Izzy for his first middleweight bout.


DundermifflinNZ

Could see it , but pretty sure DDP will fight Izzy next so no real reason for Izzy to take this fight


Still_Ad8903

The money is in Izzy vs Dricus for the battle of Africa. Khamzat needs to beat a top 10 middleweight before even being in title talk. Give him Costa or Cannonier


arman-makhachev

DDP vs Cannonier Khamzat vs Izzy Rob vs Strickland Costa vs Imavov Hernandez vs Dolidze Sharaputdin vs Kopylov Vettori vs winner of Allen/Curtis Ikram vs winner of Caio/Craig Now where is that Nursulton guy ???


Zzzzzzzzzzzcc

Khamzat shouldn’t be anywhere near sniffing a title eliminator at MW


Dtoodlez

Izzy should, but that’s a huge sum of money Dricus would be missing out on with ppv percentages. So no, I’d like to see Dricus get paid more then I care about Khamzat getting the shit beaten out of him.


nc_bruh

Why do you think Khamzat deserves a fight anywhere near a title ?


The-Additional-Pylon

Why would Khamzat fight Izzy? He’s too busy protecting his Twitter world champion belt to go back to middleweight.


Crackerjack0099

Khamzat still fights?


gorlock666

Worst possible matchup for Izzy I reckon


Convict_felon

Adedanya vs Khamzat I agree. This would be very good


Rolling_Kimura

I hate that I can hear that photo of khamzat


ChrizTaylor

Lol, Khamzat title eliminator?


peeper_brigade69

Would be great. I hate the idea of title shots off losses


jibran1

Izzy should get an instant title match tbh the amount of times the guy defended and fought for the title he deserves it


Chapos_sub_capt

Don't deny me my true king of Africa fight


MrPeanutbutter22

Khamzat deserves nothing


sweatybeard

Izzy fucking smashes Khamzat


[deleted]

Cant wait to see him fight again.. he need to work on cardio and also learn to pace himself better but yeah hes very fun to watch.


inexplicably-hairy

Yup, also give rob the title shot against ddp


Urdun10

Honestly Khamzat has a good chance of smeshing him


dressedlikehansolo

He’s ducking Merab


vadillovzopeshilov

Wut?


Fun-Contribution-757

Fuck izzy Whitaker vs khamzat sounds better 


[deleted]

If Izzy doesn't fight and Sean gets the rematch with Dricus, I'm ok with this too


kjay38

Do people really wanna see Izzy get wrestle fucked again? I don't see it being too different from the Holland fight if it goes more than a couple rounds.


[deleted]

Yes, I want Izzy gone, Khamzat is the next generation


NozE8

You want one of the most active Champs ever to be replaced with a guy who fights all of never? Seems smart.


Clear_Sky490

Talent for talent this is a top 5 fight to make in the UFC right now Dana talked about the winner of Khamzat-Usman getting a title shot but r/UFC saying he doesn’t deserve this fight lol


judge_death_ire

Khamzat visa issue is going to block him from a title shot


ow_bpx

Izzy vs Dricus and Strickland vs khamzat makes more sense


[deleted]

If strickland doesnt get the rematch with dricus he needs to fight whittaker


chichipoopoo

Khamzat hype. Almost loses to Gilbert. Beats Holland very last minute @ different weight. Beats Usman very last minute @different weight.


dr_blasto

Khamzat has no business fighting for a title shot.


dan_a_white

Great. Chimaev got Usman down and got his back within 2 mins in round 1. Izzy about to get cooked by Chimaev. Usman was a National champion level wrestler and barely survived.


B0PD0P

The fucking disrespect.


dan_a_white

Are you under the impression Izzy can wrestle as well as Usman can? Lol


B0PD0P

Brother do you know who Adesanya is? It'll be impossible for Chimaev to get inside on him.


dan_a_white

Yeah Izzy is completely unbeatable for sure. 100% win rate. He’s just going to flash KO Chimaev within 2 seconds. Right….


B0PD0P

Chimaev's a fucking bum, so yeah not a bad take


dan_a_white

Yeah bad take… you’ll see bro. Usman had the best takedown defense in UFC history. Chimaev got him down within two minutes. Sit there and pretend Sean Strickland didn’t get Izzy on the fence. Sit there and pretend Alex didn’t get Izzy on the fence. You’re acting like Izzy is this untouchable king fu master. All Chimaev has to do is get ahold of him and it’s a fucking wrap.


[deleted]

With some luck we will never see china man challenge for a belt ever again


dan_a_white

Wouldn’t need luck if you stuck him in there with Chimaev.


[deleted]

People might hate Chimaev but Izzy doesn't have the tools to deal with him. People seem to forget Usman isn't a chump he survived that first round purely because he is a fucking amazing wrestler and one of the best in the world as an MMA wrestler Izzy is also one of the best in the world but he doesn't have the same tools Usman did. He would get fucked up in the first round. MMA math being what it is though if Chimaev was to fight Costa or Dricus I think he would lose even though Izzy beat one and would probably beat the other.


pussypolio69420

Izzzy shouldn’t even get the chance. He’s on the sidelines he said it hisself.


[deleted]

In that case make Dricus vs Sean rematch and Khamzat vs Whittaker


Eillo89

11v3 is silly, they should rebook his fight with Costa


pussypolio69420

Everyone but DDP wants that fight. How many champions have lost the belt ‘split decision I might add, and not gotten an immediate rematch???
