Chimaev getting offered the #3 ranked fighter is ridiculous, his only fight @ Welterweight was against a guy making his UFC debut on short notice

One fight in the division and it was against someone making their ufc debut, shyt is crazy when you consider how many wins Usman had to stack together before he got ranked fighters. That being said, Leon is bugging turning down the Covington fight.
Yeah that one I was :snoop:

Edwards only has himself to blame, it's not like he was injured, he just kept purposely passing on fights

When the Woodley fight fell through due to COVID he should have looked to stay active - they offered him Wonderboy, who was ranked one spot below him, and he passed that up too

With that said though UFC needs to chill with this Chimaev hype, I feel like all this hype he keeps getting is setting him up to crash and burn

Nonsense. He’s on an 8 fight win streak. It’s insulting someone like Gilbert Burns leap frogged him and they offer Edwards Thompson or rat lip when he’s ranked #3. UFC is so full of shyt and plays favorites. Fellow UK cac till got a title shot off beating cans, an unmotivated Cowboy, and barely scrapping by Wonderboy. Not to mention guys like Connor and Cruz sat on the shelf for years and never publicly lost their rankings. Edwards should ask to be released like Anderson so he can go elsewhere
