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.

Winner will fight Sean, it was already said above shared by YuginKadoya about this link https://www.forbes.com/sites/trentreinsmith/2023/10/17/ufc-294-winner-of-usman-vs-chimaev-gets-title-shot/

Colby is already in the top 5 and is waiting for a title shot but it's not possible to fight Usman and if it is for the 3rd time, it would be a disastrous end again. He waited for a new champ who turned out to be Edwards. If Kamaru earned back his belt, Colby would not have a chance of a title shot, he was beaten up by Usman twice already.

Sean Strickland next eh..? There's a possibility that the UFC could be disappointed with their build up for Chimaev. Lol. Usman is no slouch. If it were not for the lucky head kick from Leon Edwards, I don't think any book would line him up as this huge of an underdog. Don't write him off this early imho. He's training back with Henri Hooft and he'll also get Trevor Whitman in his corner at the same time. He's a D1 wrestler, has the KO power and has beaten some some of the better guys in the UFC.

I mean sure Chim should be the favorite as Usman is taking this on short notice. But for the line they're giving Chim, do you guys think he'll give Usman a total beating? I don't think so.
