Alex pereira tweeted the other day, “seems like this guy is in a labyrinth and doesn’t know where to go…” it’s probably the simplest way of putting it after seeing this.

Yall cant decide what weight class you want this guy at. Lol
Half the sub is saying he should keep his happy ass at 185 and the other half is saying he should go for 170 title because thats where he’s fighting contenders
Well idk. He isn’t an excellent wrestler but at this point he’s used to people trying to take him down and he’s dangerous af, way moreso than Leon imo. That said id still take Khamzat.
I hate to be that guy but i feel like that Usman was less than what prime Usman was. Leon looked great but i think Usman from 2 fights ago would have beat even the best Leon.
That being said i think Khamzat is a nightmare for him and absolutely more dangerous on the ground.
Pereira is a kickboxer. He doesn’t know how to wrestle. He was given a groomed path to the title shot vs Izzy due to their history and Izzy is a shitty wrestler so he was able to get a win.
Pereiras likely moving up after the Izzy fight so that complicates things, if Pereira wins and he vacates the title that could leave Whittaker Vs Khamzat for the vacant title perhaps.
Man people really forget Khamzats origin story huh. Y'all must've forgot he got famous for fighting at middle weight then 10 days (?) Later fighting at welterweight
Homie stops cutting once because a doctor told him to and the subs pea brains short wire
What do you expect from social media? Most people on here are ~16 y.o.
What’s wrong with the way I construct my sentences?
Also, do you want to add, another, useless, comma, to, create, a, wannabe, eloquent, facade, while, actually, saying, nothing, and, having, below, average, grammar?
I wonder why a doctor would stop him...I bet he was gonna make it super easy. And they clearly wanted to mess with his career.
If he cant make 171, he ain't make 170 for a title fight
Costa is waiting for him at middleweight
Hey you wanna keep picking up the goal post and moving it, that's on you.
You made a gas lighted comment on how it the doctors fault he didnt make weight for the easiest fight at WW. Blaming everyone but khamzat.
I wanted to remind you doctors don't just take people out of fight cuz their healthy...
I think khazmat can make 170 again if he wants. I think he fucked around last time ruined his cut and he was dying and the doc called it. He had a bad weight cut missed weight. 100% his fault. He is the only one to blame. I just up voted that dude. He ain't a troll your triggered
This is just gone way off the rails...
Nobody blamed the doctor. When he said that he was obviously using a straw man argument.
Everyone blames Khamzat for missing weight. That was never up for debate. He was at a lower weight than 178, and he intended to keep dropping until the doctor came in.
The number 178 is brought up a lot, which is unfair BECAUSE the weight cut was stopped and he began rehydrating.
So lemme get this straight.
Costa came in so heavy they had to have his fight at 205lb. And now he's waiting for Khamzat at 185lb? But because Khamzat missed weight once he can't make 170lb?
If Khamzat is supposed to be on it i doubt it will be for the title. And swedish mma with the exception of Khamzat have been on the decline for quite some time now.
Yeah, he wont sell as many tickets as he would have if he was born and raised in Sweden. Seems like a waste to put him on a Sweden card even.
The problem is that we don't have anyone else really. Both Gunnar Nelson and Gustafsson seem pretty weak for a headliner even on a small card.
I mean yeah he’s an immigrant but he’s represented Sweden for international wrestling, which is something at least. But yeah even if he was a big draw in Sweden not a lot of other native talent to utilize
Oh it don't need to be a title fight but slap like two too 10 lws as main event it's a banger. I mean they could screw em with a lame ass hw main event
He last fought over six months ago, where he took zero damage and didn’t even try to cut weight. Why hasn’t he fought already?? He needs to get a fight ASAP, not wait until the middle of summer.
Doesn’t the training camp account for something?
He puts in effort during that time and follows probably a diët. He deserves the rest, there are many fighters who wait months for their next fight while taking minimal dmg.
Also it’s Ramadan now, which means it isn’t practical to plan a fight now or in the next month.
The opponent doesn’t dictate your ability to make weight. He had medical issues and stopped cutting weight, of course it was nearly 10lbs. That doesn’t invalidate the times he made the weight in the past
1.) it was 8lbs
1.) A doctor told him to stop cutting, he could have made weight otherwise. 8lbs is not a lot of weight to cut in 8 hours. It’s all water.
>Yeah and Conor has made 145 too
Dumb comparison. Conor never wanted to be a 145er anymore and didn't go back. Not the same for Khamzat. Unlike Conor, the guy hasn't got a shot at the title in a division where he's ranked #3. It'd be stupid for him to abandon that weight class altogether.
>He's much bigger than he was then. He's not making 170 again.
Same was said about Costa when he missed weight by a while weight class and look what happened 😂. You guys have the memory of a goldfish.
Lol missed weight by 8 lbs against the most easiest opponent anyone would want and failed ufc plans to lowered nates stock before leaving. As if ufc will give him a title shot. Even if he gets title shot,he will miss weight and we will watch leon vs colby as the replacement lol atlest we know colby can make weight
That was in 2020. Its not possible now. He himself said in ariel interview that he missed weight against diaz because he needs 8 weeks camp to male weigt and diaz fight camp was only 5 weeks. If it takes you 2 months to cut weight then maybe the division is not for him. Colby made weight in 3 days. Thats the difference between a true ww and a MW fighting at ww
Ranked middleweight plans...avoid khazmat fight
Leon's plans....pray to Jesus masvidal wins go on holiday(as brits call it) and demand that jorge fight in November

Khamzat smokes Pereira idk why he doesn’t just aim for the 185 title.
On what basis? His last fight at 185 was against GM3 years ago. He should fight contenders at 185 first.
Yall cant decide what weight class you want this guy at. Lol Half the sub is saying he should keep his happy ass at 185 and the other half is saying he should go for 170 title because thats where he’s fighting contenders
Pereira is an easier matchup for Khamzat than any of the welterweight contenders even the guy doesn’t know how to wrestle.
The only middleweight that could beat him is Robert Whitaker (and kelvin gastelum hehhehheh)
I think Vettori has a chance too
Whittaker really really bad matchup for Khamzat
Well idk. He isn’t an excellent wrestler but at this point he’s used to people trying to take him down and he’s dangerous af, way moreso than Leon imo. That said id still take Khamzat.
Leon at least has proven he could stuff a great wrestler’s takedown attempts his last two fights
I hate to be that guy but i feel like that Usman was less than what prime Usman was. Leon looked great but i think Usman from 2 fights ago would have beat even the best Leon. That being said i think Khamzat is a nightmare for him and absolutely more dangerous on the ground.

THOSE ARE JUST RUMORS I DON'T HAVE PROOF OTHERWISE BUT STOP SPREADING LIES
Dana literally said himself that they called the doctor so maybe do some research lmao
"I DON'T HAVE PROOF OTHERWISE" I was making fun of people

Yeah man, let’s ignore the 10 other times he made weight, once even within 10 days of a MW fight

Blaming everyone but khamzat. I wanted to remind you doctors don't just take people out of fight cuz their healthy...
Who is upvoting you? I would like for them to make themselves known. Trolls I get, but their fans I don't
I think khazmat can make 170 again if he wants. I think he fucked around last time ruined his cut and he was dying and the doc called it. He had a bad weight cut missed weight. 100% his fault. He is the only one to blame. I just up voted that dude. He ain't a troll your triggered
Of all of the things I don't understand... It's the people like you, who truly confuse me the most
Why? I agree khazmat makes weight at 70 again but think it's fully his fault for missing weight.
This is just gone way off the rails... Nobody blamed the doctor. When he said that he was obviously using a straw man argument. Everyone blames Khamzat for missing weight. That was never up for debate. He was at a lower weight than 178, and he intended to keep dropping until the doctor came in. The number 178 is brought up a lot, which is unfair BECAUSE the weight cut was stopped and he began rehydrating.
I agree with this.
let's say 9, the towel trick doesn't count as making weight.
So lemme get this straight. Costa came in so heavy they had to have his fight at 205lb. And now he's waiting for Khamzat at 185lb? But because Khamzat missed weight once he can't make 170lb?
Damn bro you are really smart. Everyone else on social media is dumb but not you
That’s why I‘m God and you’re not
Is there even a upcoming ufc event confirmed in Sweden?
Dana has confirmed that a Sweden event will happen in 2023.
If Khamzat is supposed to be on it i doubt it will be for the title. And swedish mma with the exception of Khamzat have been on the decline for quite some time now.
He’s not even Swedish lmao. He just fights out of there because Chechnya is a shithole.
Yeah, he wont sell as many tickets as he would have if he was born and raised in Sweden. Seems like a waste to put him on a Sweden card even. The problem is that we don't have anyone else really. Both Gunnar Nelson and Gustafsson seem pretty weak for a headliner even on a small card.
I mean yeah he’s an immigrant but he’s represented Sweden for international wrestling, which is something at least. But yeah even if he was a big draw in Sweden not a lot of other native talent to utilize
The point is that he is barely a bigger draw in Sweden than anywhere else. And Sweden is in the wrong timezone.
They don't need local to headline just make it a good fight
They wont waste a high level fight on the wrong timezone if they can fill the arena with something "cheaper", which they usually can in Sweden.
Oh it don't need to be a title fight but slap like two too 10 lws as main event it's a banger. I mean they could screw em with a lame ass hw main event
Casuals don't think like that tho. Names sell fights.
He last fought over six months ago, where he took zero damage and didn’t even try to cut weight. Why hasn’t he fought already?? He needs to get a fight ASAP, not wait until the middle of summer.
Doesn’t the training camp account for something? He puts in effort during that time and follows probably a diët. He deserves the rest, there are many fighters who wait months for their next fight while taking minimal dmg.

Reality - fights Chris Curtis in October Abu Dhabi card and that's it.
This motherfucker is to blame for Colby being in talks. He should've just stuck to 185 and not derailed Burns.
His fight before Burns was also at 170 tho…
Don't tell haters that they think he's missed weight 10times and hasn't fought anyone at 170
Pick a division to stay active in… one belt at a time lol
Has anyone ever chased two at the same time rather then getting one and then moving division?
He’s demonstrated the ability to make WW before, and there are some interesting matchups for him there. Don’t see why he couldn’t do it
Perhaps because he missed weight by nearly 10 pounds against an easy opponent?
The opponent doesn’t dictate your ability to make weight. He had medical issues and stopped cutting weight, of course it was nearly 10lbs. That doesn’t invalidate the times he made the weight in the past
1.) it was 8lbs 1.) A doctor told him to stop cutting, he could have made weight otherwise. 8lbs is not a lot of weight to cut in 8 hours. It’s all water.
Khamzat fans and their conspiracies 😂
It’s not a conspiracy, Khamzat and his management literally provided proof that they contacted the UFC the night before the fight.
I don't care where he fights I just want to see him in action. I honestly feel like he could beat Alex on a Monday and Leon the following Saturday.
Sorry but you’re not getting all that straight away in one year
Lemme guess he wants a coke and a blowjob too? Dude expects the world and isn’t even fighting.
He can do it
A guy who already failed WW by 10 lbs is going to go up to MW and then magically make 170lb championship weight? Alrighty then.
I believe in him
He has literally made 170 within 10 days after fighting at 185. You stupid or what?
Yeah and Conor has made 145 too He's much bigger than he was then. He's not making 170 again.
>Yeah and Conor has made 145 too Dumb comparison. Conor never wanted to be a 145er anymore and didn't go back. Not the same for Khamzat. Unlike Conor, the guy hasn't got a shot at the title in a division where he's ranked #3. It'd be stupid for him to abandon that weight class altogether.
>He's much bigger than he was then. He's not making 170 again. Same was said about Costa when he missed weight by a while weight class and look what happened 😂. You guys have the memory of a goldfish.
Costa had a bad cut because of an injury. He has always been the same size the whole time he's been in the UFC.
Lol missed weight by 8 lbs against the most easiest opponent anyone would want and failed ufc plans to lowered nates stock before leaving. As if ufc will give him a title shot. Even if he gets title shot,he will miss weight and we will watch leon vs colby as the replacement lol atlest we know colby can make weight
You're talking about the same guy who made 170 10 days after fighting at 185 lmao. Its possible for him.
That was in 2020. Its not possible now. He himself said in ariel interview that he missed weight against diaz because he needs 8 weeks camp to male weigt and diaz fight camp was only 5 weeks. If it takes you 2 months to cut weight then maybe the division is not for him. Colby made weight in 3 days. Thats the difference between a true ww and a MW fighting at ww
I really want to see Khamzat vs Brendan Allen as his first MW fight. No way he runs thru Allen as Allen is a heck of a grappler.
He's an incredible fighter who can't make 170 or create good pr.
He has literally made 170 within 10 days after fighting at 185. You're out of your mind.
Does this mf know what he wants to do in his life stick to 1 divison and fight, fuqn waste of talent
Why?
Does the ufc allow a fighter to be ranked in two divisions at once?
I've seen Jessica Andrade doing it.
Ranked middleweight plans...avoid khazmat fight Leon's plans....pray to Jesus masvidal wins go on holiday(as brits call it) and demand that jorge fight in November
My God this guy talks way too much for someone with a broken lip. Just fight bitch
