OLAADEGBU:i see nothing wrong in both Nigerians having a bout inasmuch as no respect is lost. But, since the two fighters are against such... 'Peanut head' should just fogerrit. 3 Likes |

Adesanya is right. Having two Nigerians dominating in the sport is good for the country and continent. They should coach their little brother Kennedy Nzechukwu so he can join the top 5 in the heavyweight division. Khamzat wants to face Adesanya, I can't wait to see him maul that wrestler like Ngannou did Gane. The same way Brazilians carved a niche in the sport is the very action our boys should emulate. 2 Likes 1 Share |

dawnomike: I wonder what Ali Abdelaziz stands to gain if the fight happens. |

suffering: Who has Khamzat fought to deserve the right to face Adesanya? |

PlayerMeji: That is the point Adesanya is making but I don't think Ali Abdelaziz sees it that way. |

OLAADEGBU:He’s defeated everyone he’s faced so far and is posturing to go for Adesanya. What I like about the UFC as opposed to boxing is, once you want a title shot and the fans agree with you, Dana follows. In boxing it may take up to eight years for such to happen. In the UFC it can happen as early as December this year. Adesanya has cleaned house in the top ten ranking. Let him face a new prospect. |

suffering:It's not like you think it to be. Just like OLAADEGBU said, who has Khamzat fought to deserve Adesanya? Defeating everyone he fought so far doesn't qualify him, neither do fans dictate such. Although I think Khamzat has what it takes, yet there's a process to it. Khamzat should fight his way to top his division first. After that we can start looking at a feasible fight with Adesanya. At bolded, that is wrong. Adesanya is yet to clean top ten rankings in MW. He's yet to fight Jared Cannonier, and couple of similar guys and soon Alex Pereira who once knocked him out. |

Gratefulheart1:Khamzat has more fights in the UFC than Pereira. Saying Pereira deserves to fight Adesanya brings your suggestion back to the criticism of my comment “who has Pereira fought to deserve a shot?” Rozenstruick got a chance at the champion from a good record and eventual call out. Khamzat should do the same and the fight will happen this year. He already has a consistent win streak and the fans support it. Adesanya said it himself “I’m bored with the recent fights I’m having. I need someone to excite me.” Anyone from the MW top ten division thrown his way is nothing but food for a lion now. |

suffering: I never said Pereira deserves to fight Izzy at the moment, he'll still have to fight his way to the top. I only mentioned him when you suggested there are no more worthy fighters Izzy can fight in Middleweight. There are still couple of guys in MW. About your comparison, Pereira is in 185 division while Khamzat is in 170 division. New Pereira 185 is more qualified to fight Izzy 185 than new Khamzat in 170. Pereira and Izzy are in same MW division and Pereira is on watch list been the only one to knock out Izzy before. But Kamaru in 170 is more qualified to fight Izzy than Pereira in 185 because Kamaru is the present Champion of his division haven fought his way to the top. Khamzat's target now is top guys in 170 division, then finally Kamaru which is the champion of his division not Adesanya which is the champion of higher division. A student is yet to pass his class but wants to go compete in senior class, is that how things are done? No There's a process in UFC fights, not all you're saying but you know, all these kinda Khamzat talks are only good in preparing people's mind for a future fight, same way Adesanya himself has been talking about Jon Jones since years but the fight is yet to happen, maybe later. These kinds of drama are normal in UFC except you're new or don't follow events Cannonier is the next person to fight Izzy but he fought his way to get a title shot. The winner of Brunson vs Cannonier fight was to fight Izzy, all these things are organised. Title fights are not what a new comer would make mouth and challenge a Champion and immediately get approved. UFC is not disorganized and Dana doesn't have time for such. Neither will any Champion be ready to cheaply fight a new comer. Let the new comer too go through some huddles and fight to the top. Go and read what Adesanya said about Khamzat. 1 Like 1 Share |

Gratefulheart1:Cannonier will get chewed out in the upcoming bout. Izzy has no competition in middleweight. |

Israel Adesanya won't take Khamzat Chimaev seriously until he has to: 'Who's he fought at 185?' Read More |
