Nice timing for the approach of page 100 lock up and thread three beginning...it's a Max Holloway fight week aka my FAVORITE fighter in the UFC and the holder of a ridiculous assortment of records, 5-time defender of the 145 lbs title, and star of some of the UFC's best highlights. I'll go in when I get a chance.

Jorge out against Leon Edwards with an undisclosed injury. Khamzat has thrown his name in the ring. The fight is scheduled for next month. Edwards, however, wants to fight Usman next.

Edwards last loss was 6 years ago, Against Usman, I think it's fair he gets a title shot. The Masvidal fight was just another money fight like Diaz

Unless they are going to add another 300k to his pay, Ild say just wait and demand a Usman title fight next

Agreed on Edwards’ POV. It all depends on what Usman does. If he decides to take some time off, that could put more pressure on Edwards to take the Khamzat fight. Usman and the UFC see the Usman-Khamzat fight as the bigger draw.

I dont think anyone in the top 5 want that Khazmat fight

I think Magney/Thompson/Chiesa get fed to him first, Usman V Leon, Luque Another top contender right now

The CEO of EPO? :lol: Did Colby give him that nickname?

Jorge would rather fight Colby bc that’s a bigger money fight, I would assume?

But what happens if Leon doesn’t want to fight Khamzat? Do you then give Khamzat the next Usman fight?
