    He's #9 at middleweight and #4 Jared Cannonier doesn't have an opponent so maybe they could fight at UFC 300.

    I think what’s going to happen is UFC will make Izzy fight DDP, and then feed Strickland to Khamzat because they want him to be less in the spotlight and not have a big platform. So then Khamzat comes up to beat the winner of DDP Izzy, they do it in Abu Dhabi to favor Khamzat and then boom another UAE champion to entice middle eastern financial partners. It’s all part of the plan

    I'd prefer Khamzat not be pushed into a title fight so fast as it might remove his aura (like Ngannou vs stipe 1, Ngannou vs Gane). Schedule fights in the top 10 with a headline 5 rounder againsy a journeyman so he can get championship experience before a title shot to maximize his chances
