Whilst the development as a complete didn’t essentially are living as much as the hype UFC 274 used to be a thrilling evening for the corporate’s light-weight department, Charles Oliveira who used to be stripped of his light-weight identify an afternoon earlier than submitted the #1 contender on the time Justin Gaethje to strengthen his win streak to 11 whilst Michael Chandler KO’ed Tony Ferguson in a fit the place each warring parties had been aiming to get again into the win column. A large number of callouts ensued after each and every fighter received each from the warring parties themselves and their respective contenders on social media which had me fascinated with the fights which want to occur going ahead.
At the beginning I wish to make it recognized I imagine that the belt itself shouldn’t be fought for slightly now not as a result of Charles is not worthy given what took place however as a result of his pageant lately isn’t worthy. Michael Chandler is lately one of the vital folks this is applicable to.
Whilst Chandler secured a shocking Entrance kick KO on Saturday Chandler’s win made him 2-2 within the UFC and whilst the win used to be impressive his opponent used to be an El Cucuy who had misplaced his closing 3 fights whilst taking a look like a shell of his former self. It is for that reason regardless of his passionate post-fight interview that I don’t assume Chandler merits a rematch with both Justin or Charles but.
A extra becoming combat individually can be towards Conor McGregor anyone who may be taking a look to get again within the identify image however wishes extra fights beneath his belt given fresh losses. A win vs the excessive profile McGregor may no doubt assist Chandler get again within the identify image and it’s a possible combat this is certain to entertain.
Every other combat to make individually is Beneil Dariush vs Islam Makhachev. The 2 had been scheduled to combat earlier than Beneil pulled out because of harm which caused Islam to combat unranked Bobby Inexperienced who the Russian made quick paintings of. A combat that instructed us not anything we didn’t already know and did not anything for Islam’s case for a identify shot therefore why I imagine Dariush is a superb take a look at for Makhachev which might legitimize him preventing Oliveira for the identify.
However even though that combat must occur I might now not be stunned if it does now not given Islam turns out to assume he has a date with Do Bronx on October 22th IN Abu Dhabi and Dana has not too long ago been swaying to skipping Islam vs Beneil in favour of Islam vs Charles so we can have to attend and notice.
As for Charles’s earlier two opponent’s Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier I in truth would now not thoughts seeing a rematch between the 2 given the state of the department and the truth that each their fresh losses are towards the ‘present’ champ in Charles and previous champ in Khabib. I anticipated Dustin to proceed in the hunt for to combat Nate Diaz however Diaz turns out very bored stiff and Dustin appeared to achieve a brand new hearth in himself after looking at Charles choke out Justin as he tweeted out he needs to combat him once more. A combat between Poirier and Gaethje would lead to a high-profile win for the victor which might kickstart both’s resurgence as a contender for the light-weight crown.
