Wonderboy ALWAYS takes the exciting fights. Can’t wait for the shavkat fight

Kind of funny when he said "I believe he's just going to go out there and beat me like he beat everyone else". Was that some kind of Freudian slip? 🤔

I wish you would have asked him what he would do if Shavkat misses weight. Seriously. I mean Wonderboy is the man. Love this dude. He sticked to his guns by not accepting (again) a fight vs. a heavier or not depleted from weight cut fighter and risked being in a bad position with the UFC and Dana in particular. I think the MMA community agreed with his decision. What would happen if shavkat misses weight? Would he dare to not accept the fight again?

Dana seemed like he wasn’t going to pay wonderboy for last fight. I’m glad they made it right. Thompson has always been a kind guy but if they didn’t make it right I’m sure he’s voice his displeasure pretty loudly, and he’s always been a company man.

Wonderboy talking about the boxer from Montreal he couldn’t remember the name of. It’s Adonis “superman” Stevenson. He suffered a brain injury after a fight and I was in the same physical rehabilitation centre as him after I was paralyzed. He seems to be doing much better these days and circumstances could have definitely been worse.

17:38 That boxer from Canada was Adonis Stevenson. He was a world Champion at 168. He was a bad man. A very very bad man!

They should have given him Leon Edwards. He has a decent chance of becoming champ against a striker.

@@kenwahldhlamini8102 you must have short-term memory look how Shavkat against Geoff that had a horrible fight camp, and probably his worst performance and he exposed Shavkat but when Geoff fought Wonderboy, that was his best camp and his best performance, and still couldn’t get it done, and Wonderboy absolutely wipe the floor of Geoff. WB didn’t get forced to fight Shavkat it’s just because where he’s ranked that’s it, also at that time when Shavkat was ranked below WB and didn’t deserve to fight WB, because fighting Wonderboy is a title fight in itself. Wonderboy is not worried about money. He’s been well off even before he came to the UFC. You need to read between the lines the reason WB took that fight this time is because WBs the back up to the Leon vs Colby fight because they’re on the same card and it gets him closer to the belt. Yeah, he’s 40 but fights like he’s a 25 yrs old in the cage. In the words of DC “there’s levels to this game” and Wonderboy gonna send Shavkat back down the rankings.

@@kenwahldhlamini8102 Shavkat's recent fight against Geoff, during which Geoff had a subpar training camp and delivered his worst performance, exposed Shavkats vulnerabilities. In contrast, when Geoff faced Wonderboy, he was in peak condition, yet still couldn't secure a victory. Wonderboy dominated that bout, emphasizing that the outcome isn't merely due to being forced to fight Shavkat; it's primarily because of their respective rankings. Back then, Shavkat was ranked below Wonderboy and didn't merit a fight with him, as challenging Wonderboy is a championship-level match on its own. It's important to note that Wonderboy's motivation isn't driven by financial concerns, as he was financially secure even before entering the UFC. The reason Wonderboy accepted this fight is because he serves as a backup for the Leon vs. Colby fight, both of which are on the same card, bringing him closer to a title shot. Despite being 40 years old, Wonderboy continues to perform like a fighter in his mid-20s in the octagon. In the wise words of DC, "there are different levels in this sport," and Wonderboy is determined to send Shavkat down the rankings. Great matchup for Wonderboy. Horrible matchup for Shavkat because he’s gonna try to stand with Wonderboy and it’s going to end really bad for Shavkat.

@djtheory313 geoff neal actually missed weight on purpose he wasn't weight drained or looking bad shavkat rakhmonov was just better fighter. And he missed weight by 5ibs its obvious you are going have a natural strength and physical advantage meaning he was able to take shots and defend takedowns easily. Why did you think wonderboy refused to fight Micheal Pereira. Age catches up to alot of fighters unless you a roided up Yoel Romero. I'm not saying shavkat rakhmonov will be undefeated for long time he lose but definitely not by wonderboy. And also he's takedown defense has rapidly declined you saw it with Gilbert Burns and Belel Muhammed he got shavkat rakhmonov can strike and grapple why do think he has a undefeated record of 17-0 all finishes 9 submissions and 8 knocks those ain't bums.

Sad fact is that nice guys don’t sell tickets. Dana has no interest in having a decent human being as the champ.

12:30 "Not really canceled but TAKEN off" 🤔 The guy looks like he's in his 40s at least and he's a journalist, but he still hasn't figured out the word "taken" and says "taking" instead. Wow. The lack intelligence and perceptiveness is off the charts.

Ufc is setting him up to fail

shavkat retires him

Wonderboy needs to work on his take down defense he's just getting ragdolled and molested by everyone these day's.

Boxers wont come because of the low pay day

We all know that if "deserving" was a thing Colby would not be fighting for a title again in December. He does not have a single win against anyone in the current top 15 of his division, no finishes in seven years and the last fight he had was arguably one of the most boring fights in UFC history vs Masvidal, literally holding down Jorge for the entire fight not causing any damage or really threatening with a submission. He is entertaining everywhere but in the cage, I'll give him that. And he got cardio for days and excellent wrestling. But that wrestling is what he will use exclusively unless his opponent has good enough takedown defense to stop it, at which point we may get a fight. And he lacks the submission skills to take out any high level fighter from what his record implies. Hope Wonderboy gets the job done vs Shavkat and gets his title shot vs Leon, whom I feel will beat Colby.

He needs to call out looser of leon and Colby cuz it sounds like Muhammad is next this will submit his title shot

Adonis Stevenson hits like a mule

That hair is goofy af

BELAL IS A SNOOZFEST. HE BEAT AN OLD DAMIAN MIA. COLBY BEAT MIA AND RDA WHEN THEY BOTH WERE TOP 5 RANKED. BELAL IS NOT CHAMP MATERIAL.
