Respect to Wonderboy for agreeing to fight Shavkat. I think this is the perfect position to be in because no one at all expects him to come out with a win, but IF he does, he immediately moves up everyone's list and potentially gets put into title contention.

UFC knew its better to make striker fight for wonderboy but after he pulled out(rightfully so)they got mad at him just like how they get mad at their fighters over the smallest things, as usual and went back to feeding him to Grapplers again, the match makers over there are braindead when it comes to making fights outside of top 5 and for their veterans(example: Tony vs Cringe Scouser, Nate vs Khamzat, etc)

@@Ar1AnX1x I agree with everything aside from them being brain dead. They know exactly what they're doing. It's for two reasons, one to propel a hot prospect and two for money. They also would hate for someone like Tony or Wonderboy to get hands on the belt since they like the champs leaving after going through their time, then losing and using their name to make big fights and propel others to the top by adding them to their resumes.

I was thinking the same thing. Shavkat took a ton of strikes to the head from Geoff Neal. I honestly thing that's the worse thing about Shavkat. He needs to work on his head movement, defense, take less shots to the head. He's undefeated but when you make it to the top the big dogs will expose your weaknesses and capitalize on mistakes. I'm excited about this fight. I've wanted to see Shavkat fight someone at the top for a while and he's finally here. I wanna see both guys win. I don't want to see either guys lose. 😂

At this point, outside of Leon, Shavkat is the one to beat.

With one or two more fights against Top 5, yes. But right now, Shavkat's striking and lack of head moments COULD allow Leon to beat him. Leon is not a 5'10" - 5'11" slow, plodding guy who's going to use some unknown super pressure or superman cardio to outlast his opponent. The champ is the fastest and most agile guy at 170. Standing at 6'2" and pure muscles at 190lb, he has one-punch, one-kick KO skills. Just because Leon doesn't swing for the fence often, it doesn't mean the giant 6'2" elite striker doesn't have KO skills or power. People who keep saying Leon is a "decision guy" and Usman is a KO artist... need to google up their stats: both Leon and Usman each has 10 sudden-fight-ending wins: Usman is with 9 KOs and one Sub, whereas Leon is with 7 KOs and 3 Subs..... Both of those categories are SUDDEN-FIGHT-ENDING wins (the reason why a TKO is grouped with KO is that if a referee doesn't stop a TKO situation, he believes it could soon, like a few more seconds, become a KO).... @@merlinoner

@ 7:39 Stephen Thompson makes a great point that undefeated fighters are not fighting each other but rather making a name off of beating Legends on their way out. Shavkat Rachmaninoff vs. khamzat chimaev should have been fight of the year and given to the fans for our dedication. Dana White always says anybody can be made in the UFC. Which is the problem with boxing because it's very difficult to get the fights that fans truly deserve and ask for.

Unfortunately, for Belal, that looks like it. Because Usman isn't fighting Burns, Colby, or Leon again in the foresable future. With #6 & #7 fighting each other, Usman isn't fighting #8 to #15, although the UFC could give him young, big, and brash Ian, the #12 or so... to see of elderly Usman is worth being ranked #2. With one win over Jorge, Colby gets his 3rd title fight, and Belal has 7 wins... but people need to rememeber, Tony won 12 straights without a title fight, and both Leon and Usman had to have 9 or 10 straight wins before they got their respective title fights, so Belal could very well be "made" to fight another top guy like Usman, before he is guaranteed his title shot... And, to be fair, Colby had to win 8 or 9 straights, too, before he got his first title shots. It's his 2nd and 3rd that he only win once in between....

Sadly, I really enjoy both of these fighters, especially Wonderboy. As such, it’s going to really hurt when one of them loses. My money is on Shavkat though, he’s just too young, too hungry, and too skilled to allow Wonderboy to dictate the pace (which is, imo, the only way Wonderboy has a chance). Unless Wonderboy shows so new wrinkles to his game, it’s a wrap for my one of my favorite fighters of all time.

Actally Colby was the first guy to take usman Down tho it was only a split sec it was my 1st tim ever seeing that but surprised usman never tried to take colby down prob cuz he didnt fear colbys power but Colby def scored a lot on Usman and even had him a bit hurt at one point in their 2nd fight but oddly went for a takedown an i was like NO keep punching hes in a lil trouble! 😄 but fight 2 was great n much closer.I got edwards tho in a great fight

Colby should’ve won the 1st fight. Usman was out on his feet on two separate occasions in that fight and the crooked ref allowed him to fake both an eye poke and a low blow to have recovery time. Then when Usman was illegally punching Colby to the back of the head while Colby was shooting a takedown, the ref called it a TKO for no reason. Colby vs Usman 1 was rigged by Mark Goddard due to his self expressed hatred for Colby Covington.

He should have fought Perreira, a win would have been a massive credit to him.

Ariel, if Wonderboy wants to be a champion then he has to win against wrestlers as well. Steven doesn't have the leverage of someone like Perreira or Connor where UFC will cherry pick his contenders to set up a mega might with the Champion. He'll have to find his way through.

Wonderboy ralks like his takedown defense is top notch. Im sorry but Wonderboy doesn't deserve a title shot off of this fight. Why are we trying to skip this guy past other guys who have beat him. Earn your way. This is not the way to it for me.

He said UFC already had something for Usman and Dana said Belal had a fight already at the post press of DWCS so Belal vs Usman confirmed?

Nothing but respect to Wonderboy he's such a nice guy but but Shavkat Rakhmonov Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 is the beast who eats fighters like Wonderboy for breakfast so it's only business as Conor says 😊🇰🇿👍

the UFC brilliantly knows how to abuse wonderboy. They treat him with the exact level of disrespect and punishment that a person who turns down fights deserves, and they know he's too nice of a guy to complain. Perfect Treatment.
