Its said that Usman who will fight against Chimaev. And whoever wins will hve a title shot against Leon.

Leon is fighting Colby next and I don't think he'll keep that belt. So we're very likely to see Colby Vs. Chimaev for the next title bout, which would be perfect if you ask me.

This is a head shaking decision from uncle Dana after he promised that the winner of Belal vs. Burns would challenge Leon Edward. However, I speculate that American politics might have influenced this decision. Uncle Dana is an outspoken Trump supporter and Colby also is another ourspoken Trump supporter. The presidential election will be on November heheehe. Perfect for the UFC's campaign for Trump if Colby is the welterweight champion hehehehe.

You misquoted me, mate. It was @bittraffic's comment. It's not happening though since Chimaev is now a middleweight which means Usman is not just a late noticed opponent but he is also moving up in weight.

So yeah, it is Colby vs Leon at UFC 296 this coming December 17 in Las Vegas. Belal could be next in line. I guess this was expected even before that Colby gets his shot at the title if not for the Usman-Leon rematch.

It would be a great advertisement if Colby is a champion before the US elections next year. I believe the best of Colby is more than enough to beat Leon. The only good news for Leon here is Colby's nearly 2 years of inactivity.

Sorry, I forgot to update myself. So whoever wins between Chimaev and Usman gets to fight Strickland? This is gonna be epic if Strickland still can make an upset against Usman nor Chimaev. I may not be rooting for Sean but it will really fun to see him defend his belt defeating Usman or Chimaev.

Colby is very favored by Dana despite his inactivity but he may actually beat Leon, very winnable for him so yep the wait is worth it to finally find a champ that he could easily beat.

No worries mate. I doubt the winner of Chimaev and Usman gets its title shot next. Both aren't in the top 5 of the middleweight rankings and the winner might not also get a top 5 ranking. Dricus du Plessis deserves a title shot but it seems that Adesanya might get another privilege for an immediate rematch once again. But I do hope Adesanya gets a tune-up first and then he fights the winner of Strickland-Dricus. Nonetheless, Chimaev who's expected to win against Usman needs a win against a top 5 opponent first to earn his shot at the title.

I also felt like Dana likes Colby. But what is weird though is letting him become inactive long enough. So I won't be surprised if somehow Edwards will pull an upset over Colby. But prime for prime, Colby should beat Edwards.
