It’s gotta be tuporia or MAYBE Chimeav if he can actually cut to 170 which I doubt. Pereira has no shot against Aspinall unless he gets a lucky left hook. And DDP at HW with the holes in his game we saw at 319? Ain’t no way
Edit: after seeing periera beat ank the way he did I honestly do think he has a real shot. But I find it hard to picture him beating Aspinall. I think Ilia still has the best real shot though.
Some people don’t like the current state of the UFC and I would agree from the company side of things but I feel like we’re in a pretty awesome and historical era that we’ll look back on. This triple champ race, the amount of literal goats currently fighting rn, and the amount of exciting prospects coming in is so hype.
Islam technically did what khamzat wants to do, he became lightweight champ beat the featherweight champ below him, then moved up and beat up the welterweight champ above him.
What is the importance of being simultaneous when the only difference is that nowadays they force you to give up your belt before you move up, so you just can't be a simultaneous double champ.
If Ilia moves to welterweight and Alex moves to Heavyweight It would mean Ilia and Pereira were 1 division apart at some point which is NUTS. Featherweight to Welterweight and Middleweight to Heavyweight
