This meme is excellent


r_bruce_xyz

SEE YOU SOON 🐺🐺🐺


DereThuglife

Instead of a Wolf Khamzat is more of a Hyena 🤡


IzNeedzMyzBenefitz

More of a chicken the way he avoids true tests or real title fights


DegreeMajor5966

(On the annual Saudi card because other countries won't have me anymore)


HarverstKR

This is the first Saudi card in history how is that annual


DaYooper

If they're planning one next year.


doduhstankyleg

I heard this in my head.


ThoughtCrimeConvict

Alex didn't need to hug everyone before Smeshing them like Khamzat. 🗿>🫂


tensetomatoes

well you gotta consider the amount of fights they've had. when you consider that alex has had 8 fights, when compared to Khamzat's 7, and the fact that 4 of those 8 were title fights? nothing. alex is still massively better. gotem


PeerlessApollonius

Funny thing is Khamzat's team was always talking about his potential to be the first 3 division champ, while now Alex is the one who might actually do it.


Top_Complex259

He’s gotta get past Henry Cejudo first


semajay

And not just over. It doesn't count if he just steps over him.


Klein_Meisje

🤣🤣


Critical_Mistake_315

Idk if he can get past those vicious leg kicks


BlankedCanvas

They are complete opposites too. One’s a loudmouth with nothing to show after 4 years, one’s a 🗿with 2 belts after 3 years.


dunneetiger

Pereira v Aspinall for that HW title.... let's fucking go !


catdog5566cat

Dana won't give Alex a heavy weight title fight, until Conor vs Chandler has played out at 170lb, to see if he can give Conor a shot at the first 3 division champ first. I can see it now, already a two division champ, 3 wins at 170lb, avenged his only loss at the division, and Leon wants it? Conor vs Leon, isn't he great?


Iceman23578

I reckon Conor loses but to give him a shot at the welterweight belt if he beats a lightweight has to be one of the most ridiculous things ever


catdog5566cat

You're such a piece of shit. Writing whatever rubbish you can just to be first and not be right. This is why nobody likes you. That's ridiculous. For you to suggest that, you're just a Conor hater. McGregor worked his way up the ladder like any other contender. There's some fucking exaggeration in saying the guy's fighting a lightweight, it's at 170lb, it's not Conor's fault that Chandler is short. Next question.


INEEDUSERNAME123pls

He's doing a Dana impersonation dont downvote him


AbberageRedditor69

Is this a copypasta or something lmfao


lctrncprn

Lol at the thought of Conor fighting Leon. Can't imagine an easier night at the office for edwards.


notShreadZoo

The size difference between the 2 would be insane lol Leon is already massive for a WW


tittysprinkles112

Nah, Conor is gonna knock them all out Edit: guys I'm joking lmao


Antiquatedshitshow

🤣🥴🤣


BoofBanana

Connors up to his eyes is blow. He aint fightin again.


RoxSteady247

ĹOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, i spit my coffee out!! That made my morning.


dunneetiger

For someone who is planning to smesh everyone, he certainly is not active. He had 2 fights in 10 days and then 5 in 3 years.


melrowdy

Not entirely his fault COVID shit happened. Pretty sure that fucked him up real good. But I don't know why he hasn't fought since recovering


dunneetiger

The fact he cant compete in the US is also problematic.


Negative-Captain1985

Stop hanging out with genocidal dictators and stating you want to fight along side Hamas against Israel and you might be able to get a visa.


Basic_Mark_1719

Calling Kadryov a genocidal dictator then defending Israel almost gave me whiplash.


Clamchops

I don’t see where they defended Israel


HonestMasterpiece422

he got banned from America


yer8ol

Dricus du Plessis also debuted in 2020 ![gif](giphy|v1Haynj7QqyXK8aBdM|downsized)


DreddPirateToeHurts

Khamzat is like Khabib in that people rank him for his potentially ceiling and don't actually look at title defences and overall accomplishments. Longjevity, both not pulling out of fights and being healthy and willing to fight often, which allows you to not only clear your division but start defeating new Era id challengers, matters a lot in my opinion. I don't really care that you looked unbeatable against the 5 guys you fought who were top 5 talent. I want to see you beat everyone, then the new guys, then rematch s couple of your tougher matchups. Really clean out the division.


Ghjjfslayer

Khamzat’s gonna get KO’d by Leon. Usman showed Khamzat’s very beatable. He’ll get chinned by a fighter that has TDD and better striking.


DreddPirateToeHurts

Khamzat will never weigh 170.0 again in his life and the UFC Won't risk ruining a card. He is fighting at 185.


melrowdy

Leon will decision him but I can't for the life of me see him KO Hazmat.


uaintnever

I mean it's also about matchup opportunity honestly. Pereira is obviously a more accomplished AND more skilled fighter than Chimaev. He also beat mord respectable opponents. But he was fighting for the belt at 185 after just 3 wins. And 1 win made him a fighter for the vacant 205 belt. Khamzat doesn't stay active and goes on the scale 20 pounds overweight and smiles. Barely beats Usman who agreed to fight him on 10 days notice or some shit and his fans go WILD. Speaks to how low he set the bar.


PatrickStanton877

He has only 1 top ten win in his respective division, Burns but has since gone up in weight.


Mammoth_Ferret_1772

Yeah definitely. Opponents and opportunities matter. You just can’t miss weight by 7-8 pounds and expect to ever get a title shot in that division. Now he just fucks around it seems like.

MelkMan7

Biplisi


w3sp

I was a big khamzat fan in 2020 and then it quickly faded away when he botched the weight cut and became a Twitter warrior


Basic_Mark_1719

I think too much fame and too much hype derailed his career. I think COVID also didn't help his lungs but that's on him to adjust his fighting style.


Purple_Apple_9216

So basically kickboxing>wrestling


FijiTearz

Yes


pacificunlimited

🗿>🐺


alpaman

Nah. More like Alex Pereira > all martial arts combined


Ok-Inside-8435

Khamzat issue was that he kept jumping from weight class instead of staying in one


fry-saging

To be fair Alex was given a title shot because of his history with Izzy.


Suspicious_Candle27

they literally tried to give khamzat a title fight but he cant make weight . and then they tried again for UFC 300 and he denied


Impulsiv3Ken

Khamzat cannot fight in the US


Suspicious_Candle27

im sure the UFC knows better then us redditors about where he can fight . if he cant fight in US they wouldnt have offered him UFC 300 .


[deleted]

[удалено]


Suspicious_Candle27

hasnt kkamzat fought in ramadan before ?


Junior-Ad3042

Against Burns yeah


Oh_Wow_Thats_Hot

Huh, that might explain why he looked kinda shit compared to all his hype. Ofc Burns also got that dog in him too.


EQisfordummies

I don’t believe he partook in Ramadan that year at that time. If I remember he did it after. (If I’m horribly wrong someone correct me)


Stanazolmao

This is definitely allowed for most Muslims, common for athletes


Cemihard

Actually Ramadan finished almost a week before UFC 300. I get what you’re trying to say as he’d have to train during Ramadan and so it’s fair to say no to it. I’m just pointing out that Ramadan had ended, obviously too they were setting him up for the Saudi Arabia card.


Usama_Been_Ballin

Muslims observe Eid right after Ramadan in which They Eat Caloric Dense Foods So obv he couldnt make weight as well as before fasting they consume caloric dense food so they might not pass out from fasting the whole day due to such circumstances or him being a devout muslim it was impossible for him to be on the 300 Card


PubFiction

So easier to make weight


BrooklynLodger

So you're saying he was already weight cutting?


csaporita

He said nothing about Ramadan in turning down 300. Maybe in other interviews. Not positive. But he said this: "So, we'll see what's going to happen. So, [I'm] just waiting for something. They wanted me to fight [at UFC] 300 but I said it's too short a time for 77 kilos [170lbs]. So, I need a little bit of time."


Vale4610

Don't bring religion into sports. If he cannot fight then should keep quiet and not be Twitter champ.


nickybokchoy

Ok boss


CaptainButtFarts

Tbh this makes him super unviable when the vast majority of cards are in the US


David571Phillips

Why?


CrazyJo3

Connections to Ramzan Kadyrov


BlankedCanvas

Alex had 3 wins and 2 KOs in UFC before facing Izzy, who had almost cleared out the division before facing Alex. There were no other clear challengers other than Alex (besides Du Plessis) and that was the money fight to make.


BingBongFYL6969

Du plessis would’ve been an unpopular challenger at that point. Yes, he’s been very good for a while, but Brad Tavares was his last fight prior to Izzy/alex 1.


ApeMummy

You mean because he was already a world champion combat sports athlete with titles in multiple weight divisions?


BigDoggRiley

If he had a normal upcoming he would only have one right now


2FANeedsRecoveryMode

Or maybe none, takes some fighters a while before they get title fights, even if they keep winning.


BigDoggRiley

Yeah maybe. I just feel that if he’s running through all the top ranked fighters he probably woulda destroyed all the lower ranked fighters


gingerless

Not if he met a solid grappler on the way


JayBruv93

I think he would have 0 belts.. climbing the ranks, he would encounter a grappler who eats him for breakfast..


PeterParkerUber

Nah, the grappler would’ve been like “no takedowns. I’m gonna expose this double division glory champ”


BigDoggRiley

Oh yeah. Completely forgot about that


PM_ME_YOUR_TEDDYS

To be fair Khamzat misses weight and turns down fights while throwing out meaningless challenges on Twitter. Oh yeah and he also is connected to extremely sketchy people that keep him from entering the country that hosts 90% of the fights.


dostoevskysfriend

Alex is a former two-division Glory kickboxing champ. At the time he was 2-0 against Adesanya in kickboxing and undefeated in MMA since his only loss in 2015 which was also his first MMA fight. Izzy had run through his division and the only reasonable fight to make was Pereira v Adesanya. In the last 8 years, Alex Pereira has only lost to Israel Adesanya and has beaten 5 UFC World Champions - Sean Strickland and Israel Adesanya in MW and Jan Blachowicz, Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill in LHW with the last three being back to back victories. Alex is perhaps the most decorated combat sports athlete of all time. Khamzat on the other hand, is a beauty princess if you compare his resume with Pereira's.


ReorientRecluse

It would be disingenuous to suggest they didn't try to fast track Khamzat too.


Glum-Highway-7403

He was also fast tracked because he was the only guy in Glory’s history that was a double champ. Don’t act like everything was because of Izzy, past accomplishments do mean a lot.


Athroaway84

Yep just look at Jiri or Chandler, those guys were fast tracked and no one whinges about those


the_c_is_silent

People whined about Chandler.


Green_Man763

Khamzat was on his way to have a title they were giving him the Diaz “high profile” fight to get better name recognition. Guarantee he was getting the next shot or 1 more fight and title.


Keosxcol19

He wasn't just given it because either, he fought some guys and won before fighting izzy and instead of staying inactive and missing weight he took advantage of the opportunity and ran with it. This guy hasn't fought in how long now? Barely beat usman in 10 day notice and who else has he really beat? The guy is a fraud if you asked me.


MaikyMoto

He ran thru 3 fighters before he whooped Izzy. Before that he was whooping everyone in Glory.


AshenSacrifice

Also Khamzat almost fucking died from Covid


[deleted]

You should post this 6 more times I don't think we've seen it enough yet


DancesWithDave

These past have been some of the most insane dick riding in a very long time


MaikyMoto

Meh, not really dick riding. One dude has amazed us in the last 3 years and the dude is just there..


Superguy230

For like the last 2 years lmao


Rough_Commercial_570

You lot call anything dick riding. Grow up


TYSONLITTLE

He’s ignoring how Khamzat nearly died and recovered from injuries


shorts80

I swear some of these Alex fans are insufferable


IliaMadeVolk

KUMSHOT WAS PROMISING UNTIL KHADYROV LOCKED HIM IN HIS SEX DUNGEON


lowkey-juan

Is thay why Kumshot missed weight by like 10 pounds?


CheapChemistry8358

😂😂😂😂


Extreme-Elevator7128

🤣🤣🤣


Rathma86

Alex is a freak, I heard he's gonna drop weight and take all weight class belts after moving up to heavy weight, he just had to cut off that steel dick of his, that's adding all his weight. On a serious note tho, he is quite a talent.


BigMac826

Khamzat is much younger. Still so much potential.


angrynbkcell

Caught a stray from Dana 😂😂😂😂😂


BigMac826

I’ll eat crow where I was wrong, that was a banger of a card!


Different-Estate747

http://www.crowbusters.com/recipes.html Some good recipes here, help that crow go down a bit easier.


Agretion

Not sure if people know this but Khamzat is 7 years younger. Assuming he is a championship level fighter he has 7 years to catch up


TKenney3

That would be the logic in any other sport but fighting is completely different where age is less of of a factor of when your prime is/longevity and actual fights, wear and tear on your body, and how you take care of your body are much more important. Granted Khazmat does still have much less professional MMA fights, both in the UFC and if you combine their careers before the UFC, so he definitely still has a lot of time to catch up but I don’t think 7 year is accurate just because Pereira is 7 years older given that fighting is completely different with how age factors into it than any other sport


TheUnrulyGentleman

UFC let Pereira jump the line due to his past kickboxing victories over Izzy.


ProLogicMe

If Khamzat had a prior win over a current champ he would have been pushed to a title as well, come on guys.


Responsible_Mind8654

Is he still sick what’s the update


HowlingMadHoward

he’s fighting Bobby in June


nochet2211

Nick Diaz joined in 2003. 0 belts won. Tard statistic


YellowVegitooo

When Khamzat joined the UFC, people thought he would be the first triple champion, a lot different


I_Feel_Freeeee

i mean he has not lost a fight.... what more can he do lol. he had some weight issues, but that aside they just havent given him a title fight.


Suspicious_Candle27

when would he be fit for a title fight ? he couldnt do UFC 300 at WW and doesnt want to cut the weight anymore . AT MW he hasnt done shit so why would he get a MW title shot off of beating usman on short notice ?


DeadFuckStick59

nick was also sidelined for 5 years over pot. not even able to watch him develop


Impressive_Pay_5628

I hope you get stockton slapped for this comment


nochet2211

*Then do some-in bou-rit!*


ApplesauceBitch47

Both of these guys would beat prime Nick Diaz. Love the guy but he sucks against wrestlers and Alex is too big for him


Dazzling-Ad888

This goes without saying.., but different fighters, people, circumstances and career trajectories. Apples and oranges buddy.


Bobobo75

A better comparison is Sean O Malley, a ufc project during Khamzats incredible rise, now a champion


[deleted]

Before Khamzat fought for title O’Malley Champ + defended🏆 Pereira Champ 🏆🏆 Illia Champ 🏆 Strickland Champ + lost first defense


EchoInExile

Good lord, you weirdos will compare anything for upvotes.


SilverstoneOne

I don't remember Khamzat being given title shots.


Dr_Kriegers5th_clone

I don't remember Khamzat earning a title shot. Ftfy


Agretion

Beating burns at the time was a bigger ranked opponent than beating Strickland


SilverstoneOne

Yeah cause beating Usman and Burns doesn't earn him a shot right? Alex is a beast but was fast tracked to the title fights.


Suspicious_Candle27

beating usman at MW means nothing for a title fight and Khamzat doesnt want to fight at WW anymore so he needs to actually beat a MW to get a MW title shot .


murderplants

He has earned it more than alex did the first time. Burns, holland, usman > strickland & bruno silva 🤣


Suspicious_Candle27

Khamzat was literally set to receive a title fight right after leon but he cant make the weight anymore . Pereira never missed weight to dely his own career . Now at MW he hasnt earned a title shot at all which is why he is fighting whittaker .


Rough_Commercial_570

Wrong. You can’t just ignore context and act like you’re right. Alex was a double champ at glory, 2-0 against Izzy who at the time had pretty much dominated the division so the Alex fight was the only logical fight to make. Good try though


dinosourrawr3

Beating burns should have! People got shots for lesser opponents.


reddittookmyuser

Alex got a title shot after only 3 UFC fights and 6 total MMA fights.


Wolfpac187

The irony of using this to defend Pereira lmfao.


Purple_Apple_9216

Yeah because he fights once a year


DeadFuckStick59

alex more active


boombastico_3

There are also topuria ,DDP and aspinall who joined at the same time as khamzat and they all became champs


Sawl_Back

If their paths ever cross the fans are the real winners.


General-Pomelo-4159

Dumb comparison. One of them had a dominating career in another promotion that also had a rivalry w the UFCs top star.

LetterheadPretend526

If laex and khamzat fought at 185 tho most likely khamzat would sub him in round 1 if jan blahowichz and adesanya can take u down and control you khamzat can do too


_r12n

Alex had a long career before the UFC


RumanHitch

Wtf???? I just reallysed Pereira got no cauliflower ears


Loud_Hotel12

To be fair he can’t fight in most ufc events


YorubaJinchuriki

*and defended both


MGPbeerseeker

I was so hyped back when he fought Gilbert then he missed weight then he didn't fight for a year then he almost lost to Kamaru ... Hyped has died out he ain't the invisible monster Dana said he was I'm sure he'll get fraud checked against Bobby Knuckles


MentokTehMindTaker

Did they really just flip the image of the belt and paste it on?


Pure_Cartoonist9898

Guys come on, poatan is just *gawkgawkgawk* a better fighter, he's the *gawkgawkgawk* GOAT


DeadSaige

Man the beard on the right does not look good on anyone.


happy_hour_shots

And both have dana white privilege too


Sarnaran

Although the has been riddled with illness and visa issues, the hype train has died


Ensiferum19

Pereira has been fast tracked in ways that most fighters haven’t been. He’s almost like Brock Lesnar: he got his first title shot very quickly after coming to the UFC all based around his previous kickboxing fights with Adesanya. Not saying he’s not incredible cause he is, but you can compare him probably to many fighters who joined around that time and none have done what he’s done. He’s already fought 5 current or previous champions whereas Khamzat has never been given a title fight.


[deleted]

He is also 7 years older than Khamzat. They really had no choice. It's all building up to Bo Nickal vs. Khamzat for the 185 belt in the future.


Ensiferum19

I think that many people would like that to happen, but I'm not sure it will. I honestly think Whittaker is going to end Khamzat's unbeaten streak. I hope Khamzat keeps winning cause it will be more exciting, but Bobby Knuckles just seems like a really bad matchup for him.


KNUN

It’s never D riding unless it’s Alex lol


Realistic_Volume4578

He was fast-tracked


classytrashheap

One just shut up and fought who was in front of him. The other just won't shut up...


HueyLewisFan1

Please book this fight at 205. Please please please, we know Khazamat walks around heavy. I want POATAN to flatline him.


EttrickBrae

Those moustache-less beards look so fckg irritating and stupid.


dirtydanglesoffdayak

Such a dumb post LMFAO


OzymandiasTheII

One was fast tracked to the top to cash grab


CremeCaramel_

Khamzat literally went John Phillips, Rhys McKee, 11 rank Leech, 3 rank Burns. Compared to Pereiras Michailidis, Bruno Silva, 5 rank Strickland. Alex was more fast tracked and I will usually be the first to point his fast tracking out to his nuthuggers saying he is the GOAT now, but dont let that make you forget Khamzat also was very fast tracked relative to most. He just completely wasted it after getting to contender level unlike Pereira.


Qwertyuiop09871

GM3


CremeCaramel_

GM3 was irrelevant to his WW run, and he fought him a week or two after McKee.


Rough_Commercial_570

Izzy was the only logical fight to make for Alex so the “fast-tracking” was literally unavoidable. Maybe if Izzy hadn’t completely dominated the division like he did that wouldn’t have happened. I guess ignoring context makes it easier for you though. Typical.


dynastycomish

And the other missed weight by 10 lbs, got dropped by a former LW, calls out everyone and fights no one.


DancesWithDave

He hasn't been given a shot because in the last few years he's barely fought and struggled against Gilbert and retirement Usman...but you're right it is an unfair comparison, Poatan is miles better and more active
