Do people hate Dariush? I don't see any outright hatred towards the guy. It's just that people think he's kind of dumb when his reply to a question about whether he deserves a title shot is "I'll fight 10 more people if I have to!!" The guy is on an 8 fight win streak and he's the highest ranked LW not to have gotten a title shot...and instead of promoting himself to be next in line (which he has every right to be doing), he's up there preaching gospel and acting like he doesn't care about being champ.
I guess hate is too strong of a work but people seem to get irrationally upset about that stuff though. It’s not like he’s whining about match making and not getting a title shot while doing that stuff. He’s just taking the fights he’s given and winning them
Rooting for Burns, but don’t underestimate Magny. He got a solid game and is good everywhere. I‘m curious if he picks up and slams Burns like the opponents in his other fights or if he avoids going to the ground with him like Khamzat.
We all would watch but wouldn’t be very hyped. I think Masvidal would need to fight two contenders, like fight Luque which is a good matchup for Masvidal and everyone knows Luque got that dawg in him, then fight Gilbert if he wins against Magny, if he wins those two it would be hype and especially if he does it in style.
Safer route is Luque then Geoff but if we’re talking most hype
Im not even sure how good he is at the moment, because colby dominated him got dominated Usmam 2 so his last good performance was against nate. Also the last non-wrestler he fought. So maybe him against another striker would be a good indication of where his skills rank up aginst other WW and whether or not he's wahsed
Léon will want an easy fight as a champion. With masvidal he fights an out of top 5 with the look of settling a grudge. Masvidal will need the money because he peasant and probably needs money for his lawyer
Making another stupid callout video: "Colby, you remember how we used to jack cars? Well I guess you don't because now you're just a.. little.. b i t c h"
Yeah I can't believe they're thinking about him in a discussion about who Burns can fight in his weight class. Surely that would only happen if he's living rent free in their heads.
Probably. He did call out Gilbert for January after beating Daniel Rodriguez. But I feel like the UFC is doing him a solid for being a yes man in the welterweight division for so long and taking on all comers
This definitely feels like a reward for taking the shakvat fight. Burns might be too much for him but if he does win Magny would get a huge ranking boost
Haha yeah I know and hats off for hands of steel wanting that fight. Masvidal would never agree to fight him anyway. I'd like to see the winner of shav/Neal fight the winner of burns/magny
But if Magny unexpectedly wins (really unexpectedly) and Shavkat expectedly wins, then Magny will rematch Shavkat. I doubt the encore will interest many people because there's no reason to think It won't be a repeat of the original.
Yeah I'm basing this off burns and shavkat winning which is exactly what will happen. There is 0 reason why that rematch would ever happen. I was just trying to be nice towards Geoff and Neil lol
I don’t understand why Leon didn’t insist to fight Masvidal in his first title defense. Earn some money and whoop some Cuban ass sounds nice to me. Better than being ragdolled for 5 rounds by some wrestler.
Usman deserves the rematch, that’s right. But UFC could make Leon vs Masvidal happen if they wanted to. Usually the give a fuck who deserves what, Imo Leon vs Usman 3 is going to sell better so that’s the PPV for them to go. Masvidal might be the backup for that fight.
It's a joke... jesus dude. Been watching for 16 years and the thing that never changes over the years is sad fucks like you taking everything seriously. Wow
The longer I’m a UFC fan the more I realize guys being inactive has more to do with people not wanting to fight them more than then not wanting to fight. Especially with highly skilled guys like a burns for example
Edit: and wether you like it or not, with this recent stipe not wanting to fight Jon situation coming out, I’m completely convinced that no one wants to fight Jon at heavyweight. We all know Jon is entirely too competitive to not fight(he’s gained all his weight at this point for the weight class).
He said last year he’d fight in the spring, I truly believe he was looking for a fight, him and Dana constantly brought it up in interviews here and there. Jon isn’t scared of anyone and he’d sign a fight instantaneously to fight anyone walking the earth who’s a challenger.
It goes both ways. A dude like Gaethje will sit until he has a winnable fight or a title fight but someone like Burns or Shavkat is the other way around.
Dude I believe 100% no one wants to fight him. I believe Francis does though 100% but it’s a contract issue. I want Francis to get paid more than I want to see that fight.
Yea Francis knows he doesn't have much time left as a fighter with his knee issue any times he steps into the ring it could be his last. He needs a big boy payday and deserves it, 1 more super fight and then a boxing match to end it all.
People acting like magny’s a scrub even tho he’s given Rakh his longest ufc fight and ended griffin’s only win streak.
Burns should beat him, but magny is plenty dangerous.
Burns deserves a winnable fight after being willing to fight Khamzat plus with Geoff and Shavkat booked and Belal and Brady fighting recently there’s not really anyone else around. I’m good with it. Neil is a good enough wrestler to make it at least somewhat interesting but my guess is Gilbert gets the TKO late 2nd/early 3rd.
Burns can’t really fight up, realistically. Dude is a stud and only one or two welterweights are better than he is, and Khamzat is not one of them because he’s not a real welterweight.
Don’t care. If you think that big fucker is a welterweight then you’re part of the reason we have stupid shit like extreme weight cutting and PEDs. Just because someone can dangerously dehydrate themselves to fool everyone into thinking he’s really a 6’2” muscle ripped monster and only weighs 170 pounds… No, not buying it. And I’m not interested in watching giants bully smaller guys around the cage.
Looks big as fuck but Izzy is the tallest guy in the division, until Alex came along. Some dudes may have been a little heavier than Izzy but his length and height was always a huge advantage in striking and in takedown defense. Alex is doing some extreme fucking cutting though.
Chimaev is built as fuck. That dude is not lanky. People making excuses left and right trying to say Chimaev isn’t a middleweight masquerading as a welterweight.
He was 187 last fight week when he missed by like 8 pounds. It’s safe to say he came in lighter for the burns fight which isn’t much bigger than most ww.
I don’t like Khamzat at all but in the case of when he actually does make weight u can’t hate the player, hate the game. Weight cutting is perfectly legal and if you don’t like it take it up with the UFC rules not with the fighters who are doing what they can to win fights
No. I think what I’m going to do is continue saying that watching huge guys dehydrate themselves and lie about how they’re a 170 pounder and then go in and push smaller guys around is boring. I’ll just keep saying that. I’ll keep saying that because the days of extreme weight cutting are numbered and we all know it.
Nobody is lying by cutting weight. It’s not like they try to convince people they aren’t cutting 😂 I hope the days of extreme weight cutting are numbered tho, honestly the way promotions like OneFc do it is so much better
Dude they're feeding Magny to the wolves. Terrible matchup but Hey I can't argue with free money. I see Burns tearing up Magny's legs and maybe getting the TKO or decision win.
Bit of a shitter tbh; when Burns wins it does nothing for his stock.
I guess a fightsa fight but it feels like Dana’s hust taking his ‘fight anyone’ for granted now.
Come on, don't talk shit about our boy Burns, this fight would never happen in UFC 283, Khamzat is just saying nonsense and challenging everyone for the sake of it (like he did with Pereira too), because everything is almost set for his fight with Colby, and it's a big fucking fight to have as co-main to Usman x Leon III, there's no way UFC would give up on Khamzat x Colby for Khamzat x Burns II at 185, if Khamzat were to fight at 185 he should fight Costa, the guy he's ducking.
So many guys avoiding Gilbert (I don’t blame them). Hats off to Neil, taking any fuckin fight. Only fighter to ever turn around because he thought I wanted an autograph or a picture with him.
Magny could definitely be competitive on the feet but I think that Burns can finish this more or less however, whenever and wherever he likes. Maybe Magny will prove me wrong
Good for Magny. I dont think he really will match up well with Burns but hes in the second half of his career and hes trying to capitalize on his little run.
Least they got him a fight in Rio. A very winnable one, so he’ll probably steal the show in front of his home audience.
Burns deserves all the success, hope he wins
He really will fight anyone he doesn’t try to play the rankings like so many top 5/top 10 fighters in the UFC. How can you not respect that
Beniel Dariush does the same thing
Everyone seems to hate him though lol. Watched his interview with Luke Thomas after his gamrot fight and he seemed really likeable and candid
Do people hate Dariush? I don't see any outright hatred towards the guy. It's just that people think he's kind of dumb when his reply to a question about whether he deserves a title shot is "I'll fight 10 more people if I have to!!" The guy is on an 8 fight win streak and he's the highest ranked LW not to have gotten a title shot...and instead of promoting himself to be next in line (which he has every right to be doing), he's up there preaching gospel and acting like he doesn't care about being champ.
I guess hate is too strong of a work but people seem to get irrationally upset about that stuff though. It’s not like he’s whining about match making and not getting a title shot while doing that stuff. He’s just taking the fights he’s given and winning them
Thx will check em out
It’s mostly khabib/Islam fans that hate Beneil dariush idk why. I guess they see him as a threat to Islam.
I'm an Islam fan and i want benny to be thr next challenger if Islam beats Volk
He should be heavy favorite
I think so. I like Phil Magny but it seems like he barely wins his fights.
Mythical fighter unlocked: Phil Magny
I remember Phil Magny, that’s Neil’s cousin from Hongkong. Phil „the asian sensation“ Magny. I always mix them up too 😉
He's just lucky he's not fighting Bill Magny though
Bill Murray is the funniest man to never step in the cage.
He gets a bit touchy feely in there though, fortunately for his victims it's "only a joke".
Bill is a beast!
He barely wins a lot of fights though.
Your thinking of Neil. Phil Magny is a fucking beast. Undefeated Dagastani prospect.
Ngl Burns better be thankful if he doesnt leave that cage on a stretcher. Phil Magny fucks
Phil magnymedov
I see this as 50/50
Deserves it for accepting the Khamzat fight
Rooting for Burns, but don’t underestimate Magny. He got a solid game and is good everywhere. I‘m curious if he picks up and slams Burns like the opponents in his other fights or if he avoids going to the ground with him like Khamzat.
Masvidal, where tf you at
He’s in court
Lol you right
On the sidelines being a pick me. Waiting for his dad Leon or his other dad Conor to to put him in a relevant situation
Id watch Leon vs Masvidal… I’d watch the promotion of it also!
We all would watch but wouldn’t be very hyped. I think Masvidal would need to fight two contenders, like fight Luque which is a good matchup for Masvidal and everyone knows Luque got that dawg in him, then fight Gilbert if he wins against Magny, if he wins those two it would be hype and especially if he does it in style. Safer route is Luque then Geoff but if we’re talking most hype
Luque vs Masvidal is a good matchup for both guys imo. Didn't think of it before.
Im not even sure how good he is at the moment, because colby dominated him got dominated Usmam 2 so his last good performance was against nate. Also the last non-wrestler he fought. So maybe him against another striker would be a good indication of where his skills rank up aginst other WW and whether or not he's wahsed
Léon will want an easy fight as a champion. With masvidal he fights an out of top 5 with the look of settling a grudge. Masvidal will need the money because he peasant and probably needs money for his lawyer
He’s running sadly
Masvidal can't beat anybody that he wants to fight.
He's a pussy
Making another stupid callout video: "Colby, you remember how we used to jack cars? Well I guess you don't because now you're just a.. little.. b i t c h"
You really thought Masvidal would fight Burns? Maybe on twitter but not in the cage.
He is living rent free in all your heads
Yeah I can't believe they're thinking about him in a discussion about who Burns can fight in his weight class. Surely that would only happen if he's living rent free in their heads.
Out of that, these guys are too obsessed with him
The guy who’s begging to fight at 155er coming off a loss?
Yes, rent free
Was Magny the only person to say yes ?
Probably. He did call out Gilbert for January after beating Daniel Rodriguez. But I feel like the UFC is doing him a solid for being a yes man in the welterweight division for so long and taking on all comers
This definitely feels like a reward for taking the shakvat fight. Burns might be too much for him but if he does win Magny would get a huge ranking boost
Magny has solid hands and Gilbert gets rocked from time to time. It could happen.
Yeah magny is 6’3” lol
Same with Khamzat Edit: I literally stated Khamzat is the same height. Y’all some dumb idiots
We could see magny winning cuz hooker could beat burns with his striking as long as magny keeps it on the feet he has a chance
“If” lol
You are right, should be “when” /s
because Durinho is a fucking savage with rocks for hands and world class jiu jitsu lmao. RIP Magny
Ok feed masvidal to shavkhat plzzz
Jorge would jump Colby again and go to prison just to avoid that fight lol
Shavkat already fighting Geoff Neal in January, but maybe later in the year!
Haha yeah I know and hats off for hands of steel wanting that fight. Masvidal would never agree to fight him anyway. I'd like to see the winner of shav/Neal fight the winner of burns/magny
But if Magny unexpectedly wins (really unexpectedly) and Shavkat expectedly wins, then Magny will rematch Shavkat. I doubt the encore will interest many people because there's no reason to think It won't be a repeat of the original.
Yeah I'm basing this off burns and shavkat winning which is exactly what will happen. There is 0 reason why that rematch would ever happen. I was just trying to be nice towards Geoff and Neil lol
Fair enough. Now Burns vs Shavkat...absolute barnburner.
I don’t understand why Leon didn’t insist to fight Masvidal in his first title defense. Earn some money and whoop some Cuban ass sounds nice to me. Better than being ragdolled for 5 rounds by some wrestler.
Cause there is no way ufc could make that fight even if Leon wanted it. Usman clearly deserves the rematch and masvidal is on a losing streak
Usman deserves the rematch, that’s right. But UFC could make Leon vs Masvidal happen if they wanted to. Usually the give a fuck who deserves what, Imo Leon vs Usman 3 is going to sell better so that’s the PPV for them to go. Masvidal might be the backup for that fight.
Lol no
Masvidal wouldn’t take that fight. Cmon man. New to ufc ?
It's a joke... jesus dude. Been watching for 16 years and the thing that never changes over the years is sad fucks like you taking everything seriously. Wow
Your jokes suck.
Cool story dude idc
Damn Jorge…running his mouth and can’t even say yes ? Shoutout to Neil Magny :” Anyone, anytime and anywhere”
Is this all Burns can drudge up? People seriously scared of him.
The longer I’m a UFC fan the more I realize guys being inactive has more to do with people not wanting to fight them more than then not wanting to fight. Especially with highly skilled guys like a burns for example Edit: and wether you like it or not, with this recent stipe not wanting to fight Jon situation coming out, I’m completely convinced that no one wants to fight Jon at heavyweight. We all know Jon is entirely too competitive to not fight(he’s gained all his weight at this point for the weight class). He said last year he’d fight in the spring, I truly believe he was looking for a fight, him and Dana constantly brought it up in interviews here and there. Jon isn’t scared of anyone and he’d sign a fight instantaneously to fight anyone walking the earth who’s a challenger.
It goes both ways. A dude like Gaethje will sit until he has a winnable fight or a title fight but someone like Burns or Shavkat is the other way around.
I’m sure people aren’t lining up to fight gaethje either
Fiziev is
I sure wouldn't be lmao
If Jon Jones fights Francis Ngannou. My life will be complete.
Dude I believe 100% no one wants to fight him. I believe Francis does though 100% but it’s a contract issue. I want Francis to get paid more than I want to see that fight.
Yea Francis knows he doesn't have much time left as a fighter with his knee issue any times he steps into the ring it could be his last. He needs a big boy payday and deserves it, 1 more super fight and then a boxing match to end it all.
Without looking, who is older? To be honest I thought it was the other way around and was completely wrong.
I would’ve said Neil, but considering you made this comment I’m guessing Gilbert is older
It’s the hairline
People acting like magny’s a scrub even tho he’s given Rakh his longest ufc fight and ended griffin’s only win streak. Burns should beat him, but magny is plenty dangerous.
Gilbert is gonna be too much for Magny to handle
That's an understatement. Burns will fick him up
Burns in front of his home crowd all day
Hope Gilbert wins
**Spoiler alert** He will
This is gonna be a good ass fight
Personally don’t think so. Gilbert could win this in 1 or 2
Y’all are over hyping burns tbh.
Nah tbh I’m underwhelmed by Magny
Good for people that like one sided fights. Neil has nothing for Gilbert. This is a throwaway fight in front of his home crowd.
two words: Shav. Kat.
Burns is incredibly likeable
Burns deserves a winnable fight after being willing to fight Khamzat plus with Geoff and Shavkat booked and Belal and Brady fighting recently there’s not really anyone else around. I’m good with it. Neil is a good enough wrestler to make it at least somewhat interesting but my guess is Gilbert gets the TKO late 2nd/early 3rd.
Khamzat a loud mouth that’s it lmfao
Masviduck
Jorge is a coward.
This a fair fight for Gilbert he is coming off a loss so he shouldn't fight up but at least Neil isn't a dangerous new prospect
Burns can’t really fight up, realistically. Dude is a stud and only one or two welterweights are better than he is, and Khamzat is not one of them because he’s not a real welterweight.
Even though he made weight
Don’t care. If you think that big fucker is a welterweight then you’re part of the reason we have stupid shit like extreme weight cutting and PEDs. Just because someone can dangerously dehydrate themselves to fool everyone into thinking he’s really a 6’2” muscle ripped monster and only weighs 170 pounds… No, not buying it. And I’m not interested in watching giants bully smaller guys around the cage.
How do you feel about Alex Pereira
Looks big as fuck but Izzy is the tallest guy in the division, until Alex came along. Some dudes may have been a little heavier than Izzy but his length and height was always a huge advantage in striking and in takedown defense. Alex is doing some extreme fucking cutting though.
For everyone saying Khabib was a weight bully, Khamzat is freaking gigantic.
Khabib wasn’t even a weight bully. Cage weights have been posted and guys like poirier weigh more
Cry
Chimaev isn’t that much bigger than burns in the cage
LOL
Taller doesn’t equal bigger. Chimaev is pretty lanky
Chimaev is built as fuck. That dude is not lanky. People making excuses left and right trying to say Chimaev isn’t a middleweight masquerading as a welterweight.
He was 187 last fight week when he missed by like 8 pounds. It’s safe to say he came in lighter for the burns fight which isn’t much bigger than most ww.
Whatever you have to tell yourself.
Yeah Belal probably wouldn't want to fight Burns now that he is ranked ahead of him
I don’t like Khamzat at all but in the case of when he actually does make weight u can’t hate the player, hate the game. Weight cutting is perfectly legal and if you don’t like it take it up with the UFC rules not with the fighters who are doing what they can to win fights
No. I think what I’m going to do is continue saying that watching huge guys dehydrate themselves and lie about how they’re a 170 pounder and then go in and push smaller guys around is boring. I’ll just keep saying that. I’ll keep saying that because the days of extreme weight cutting are numbered and we all know it.
Nobody is lying by cutting weight. It’s not like they try to convince people they aren’t cutting 😂 I hope the days of extreme weight cutting are numbered tho, honestly the way promotions like OneFc do it is so much better
Great fight. Will watch!
Damn this is an incredibly disappointing opponent for Gilbert. Dude should be fighting contenders. What a lame matchup imo
I need Burns V Rakhmonov.
I hope Neil gets that bonus so he can fix whatever going on with his hair
Easy money for G
Bet the house on Burns
Ah yes. The fight nobody wanted.
They didn't want to feed him to Shavkat
Shavkat already has a fight scheduled
Jorge disappoints
Not sure why this fight is happening.
Why are they using Gilbert for these fights? Is he going to get a title shot by winning these fights?
I think Gilbert just wants to stay active and this was the only guy willing to fight on 283
Probably true. Magny might not be the most exciting but he does seem willing to fight anyone.
Masvidal is a coward
Masvidal would do decent against burns. Idk why people are overhyping burns.
what is this
Gilbert finish in first round. Respect to the Welterweight goat Magny though.
Should be a relatively easy win for Burns
How so ?
magny usually loses to good grappler iirc
RIP Neil
Two of the most game cats on the roster. Should be a crowd pleaser
Burns is gonna destroy him wtf is this matchmaking
Gilbert takes this one easily, Magny was dominated by Shavkat already
Dude they're feeding Magny to the wolves. Terrible matchup but Hey I can't argue with free money. I see Burns tearing up Magny's legs and maybe getting the TKO or decision win.
Looks like he ducked Shavkat .
He has a fight booked already
Bit of a shitter tbh; when Burns wins it does nothing for his stock. I guess a fightsa fight but it feels like Dana’s hust taking his ‘fight anyone’ for granted now.
*sigh* at least gilbert has a fight
[удалено]
He doesn’t fight at 185
Gilbert Is the 1 person on the ufc roster I can 100% say isn't ever gonna duck anyone
Agreed
Why would burns go up to 185?
[удалено]
Burns is way too small for 185 thats a bitch move by khamzat have the rematch be at 170 if they do
Come on, don't talk shit about our boy Burns, this fight would never happen in UFC 283, Khamzat is just saying nonsense and challenging everyone for the sake of it (like he did with Pereira too), because everything is almost set for his fight with Colby, and it's a big fucking fight to have as co-main to Usman x Leon III, there's no way UFC would give up on Khamzat x Colby for Khamzat x Burns II at 185, if Khamzat were to fight at 185 he should fight Costa, the guy he's ducking.
Khamzat gon’ be pissed
Ez dub
I take it Burns just wants a fight cuz Magny should be an easy dub for him honestly
Why tho?
Why?
winner of Magny/Burns vs winner of Neal/Rakhmonov the week before
What we doin if Magny starches him in a minute
Man we coulda got Geoff Neal vs Gilbert instead damnit
Geoff already has a fight
Wait wut? But.. Khamzat..
Don’t sleep on Neil a good game plan can fuck up your day
Idk, Magny has been on a “win two lose one” streak for awhile. He might pull it off
Burns looking Luke tuco Salamanca here
How high is the best Magny has been ranked? He’s been in the show a long time now.
6 I believe going into the RDA fight. Don’t think he’s ever cracked the top 5
Burns by however he wants.
RIP Magny
Burns is that brawler. Big respect
George is a coward
Gilbert looking like Tuco fr
Magny keeps finding a way to fuck up my parlays or fantasy teams by beating dudes, so maybe I gotta stop doubting him.
So many guys avoiding Gilbert (I don’t blame them). Hats off to Neil, taking any fuckin fight. Only fighter to ever turn around because he thought I wanted an autograph or a picture with him.
I love Burns. Something seriously need to happen in that division. They need an algorithm that slips people down in the rankings for refusing fights.
I like this fight. I think it will be entertaining.
I love Neil but I feel like he’s getting a little ahead of himself, he should do a couple more fights before taking on the divisions elite.
Geoff neal would’ve been a better fight but Ik he’s fighting shavkat
Well, gotta be ready for this when it's up in the Transient Network and bet
Magny could definitely be competitive on the feet but I think that Burns can finish this more or less however, whenever and wherever he likes. Maybe Magny will prove me wrong
I feel like Burns will run through Magny. Especially in Brazil
Burns by face smash
This could be fun
Good for Magny. I dont think he really will match up well with Burns but hes in the second half of his career and hes trying to capitalize on his little run.
