Mokesv isn’t deserving bud last performance wasn’t great when compared to Islam or umar fights. Chandler and periera fast tracked no denying but they had history in strike force in glory and some stardom which is different than being new to the top levels of fighting. Colby your spot on. Izzy doesn’t deserve it but oh well. He’s still one of the best other than Strickland he only lost too LHWs and has 8 title wins. Strickland underserved but it was short notice fight plus Strickland has never truly lost to anyone at Mw other than periera because his Jared and DDP losses are SDs. Volk? How can you a argue Volk didn’t deserve the second shot? For one it was short notice and after giving Islam his hardest fight an actual completive fight then move back down defend the belt again then take up the fight short notice. Dustin? True doesn’t really deserve it but no other contender rn available people like to hate on Islam for “inactivity and only defend against FWs” arman needs to recover Justin and Oliveira coming off losses and list goes on so Dustin is the only one really deserves it and can fight.

Pereira got fast tracked bc he’s literally one of the most exciting fighters with a championship track record who came into the ufc at like 33 years old with 2 wins over the champion at the time who had also cleared out his division. Dariush called for the Islam fight and although he got injured for the first one literally fought on the same card Islam got his gifted title shot on so i’m not sure why they couldn’t make that fight….

Is it only me who finds it funny that there is this huge narrative that nobody wants to fight umar when in reality he declined rob font, figgy and Ricky Simon and pulled out of the Cory fight? Those are also coincidentally the hardest matchups besides merab and cejudo for him.

Ali Abdelaziz is very good at negotiating for his fighters to get opportunities they wouldn't otherwise deserve yet. He manages all these fighters. Plus, the UFC is trying to capitalize on the Muslim audience which has brought in massive amounts of money and new revenue opportunities. They are not just taking over the UFC, it's happening in Bellator as well. They tried the same approach with Ireland, but the talent coming from Ireland is far and fewer in between, so it's not generating the same amount of interest.

Slowly becoming my favorite mma KZreadr keep up the good content bro

The best strategy is to beat unranked guys and journeymen until the title shot is secured

Dana white said no one in top 15 want to fight umar. Its hard to find opponents for him. So applause for cory for taking the fight

Rankings are arbitrary. They are an estimation of how good fighters are in relation to one another. If an unranked fighter is able to beat the champion, then he should become the champion.

Remember, there were almost no dagestanis years ago, they were actually being stopped from entering the ufc because of their dominance, the ufc gave them a platform when they felt it was most beneficial financial wise.

It's all Dana's and Hunter's business decisions I guess? From my POV it's not about previleges, it's about hustling One fight at the right time against the right opponent will catapult a fighter career And more than it, if UFC smells money magnet, they'll give fights to those guys, almost absolutely always

They have so much privilege because there beards are so nice

they stripped Charles of his belt only to force him to fight in Abu Dhabi, Islam's territory.

Islam: fought complete tomato cans in his pre-UFC career, fought complete tomato cans before fighting BOBBY GREEN fo a title shot. Umar: has fought absolutely nobody and is a pullout merchant in the division. Dagis are privileged because of Khabib's starpower.

@@Huzuh. racist and pathetic lmao

unrelated but i like the new background style shit goes hard

Sandhagen said “If the UFC views Umar that highly, he has no problem taking the fight”.. also Ankalaev is rightfully next in line for a title shot at LHW

the fact that umar is even ranked without a single ranked win is the biggest wtf of this entire thing

Glad to see the comment section pointing out so many other fighters getting similar so-called “privilege”. This video is just confirmation bias, no substance.

In " my opinion "it has to be the audience A huge chunk of Muslims are watching the ufc after khabib era so it gets them the views plus the middle east rich people making bigger bets if they watched

its not their fault nobody wants to fight them, they are just that good, besides, Islam had a 10 fight win streak and was only the number 6th ranked lightweight. people just hate them for beating their favourites and not being strikers. They have the opposite of privilege in my view.

Also it was Sandhagen calling out for the Umar fight. So what's there to complain about?

Nah I hate on them for their fan base so do many others. I like Islam but I wouldn’t mind seeing the others loose so I can see the fans cry about it

You are overlooking the overall situation here. O'Malley vs Merab should be next,who should Sandhagen and P.Yan (No 2 and 3 ) fight?(the rankings should be involved if it comes to determine the next challengers for the Top ) -Both allready fought each other -Cejudo,Vera,Font,Song are coming off losses they shouldn't get a Top 5 fight next -Aldo just came back and Sandhagen vs Umar was planned before The only 2 guys(within the Top 10) which making sense to fight Yan or Sandhagen are Umar and Figuereido,you can make an argument Figuereido should fight the No 2 Sandhagen and Umar the No 3 Yan but if Umar gets the No 2 or the 3 shouldn't be an big issue here because it makes absolutley sense he gets one of those two next.

Bratha bratha privilege

The reason they not giving random American fighters(ex:bo nickal) ranked fighter after their first couple fights is because they’re not up to the challenge and they wanna build them, they consider it bullying but for group of fighters you mentioned you call it privilege for a reason.

Actual privilege is Colby getting 3 title shots with the last 2 coming after winning only 1 fight each against Woodley on a 2 loss streak and Lawler on a 2 loss streak. And sitting out 12 to 21 months after each fight. Dagestan fighters go on huge win streaks or unbeaten streaks and are usually ducked before their name is well-established.

Buckley and ruziboev Is a good example. Nassourdine imavov had to fight his way up the ranking though and is why he’s so good

Simply because they are special,which the world has never seen before..

It is obvious Dana White tried really hard to handle the belts to Khamzat Chimaev and Magomed Ankalaev like he did Islam Makhachev before, but those guys blew it. Now he tries to fast track Umar Nurmagomedov to a title

Dagestani glazers rise up and defend your kings

How are your two favorite fighters Conor mcgregor n Colby covington doing 😂

When a mc tapper casual starts a ufc KZread channel u get this

HopperoMMA: Imagine if some American guy came into the UFC with 1 win and got a title shot Michael Chandler: 😐

Steve Ersic? Anderson Silvia? Micheal chandler?

No one wants to fight them , that's why

These guys can't face reality. Even Dana white said multiple times in interviews "You'd be surprised how your favorite fighter refuses to accept fights against certain guys" 😂

I get your point with Gaziev and Abus, but didn't the UFC give a #1 contender fight to o'malley after beating a bunch of cans and washed fighters?

First you thought Jiri had chance against alex, now you just spewing more nonsense; ranking is promotional tool every fighter can skip line just by impressing or being liked by ufc.

Dagestani Fighters Get So Much Priviledge? Did you lost your mind or what?

What are you supposed to do when ranked fighters are too scared to fight up and coming Dagestani fighters? The Dagestani fighters usually have to go on longgg win streaks to get a title shot because other fighters refuse to fight them. You're so wrong on this take

*Privilege?* 😂🤣😂🤣 This is either clickbait or you simply have no clue WTF youre talking about cuz reality is the exact opposite- Dagestani fighters pretty much have to stay unbeaten b4 even being spoken off as contenders. *Khabib* - in UFC, undefeated for over SIX yrs in UFC, passed up multiple times b4 getting a shot *Makhachev:* it took 10 fight win streak & 7 yrs, along with most LW ducking him, before he got a shot Ankalaev is on a 10 win streak(1 draw in between) and still hasn't gotten a shot. Sandhagen-Umar was already setup & both fighters want to fight each other. Umar is better than most in top 10. Ch

Sandhagen is a badass. I dont think he would’ve been wrong to wait for the winner of Sean vs Merab.

"they hold on to the belt for a long time" - because they are so inactive

What I don’t get is how people hate on the Dagestanis for this like why tho if your gonna hate them why not hate alex

@@rofoltofolok and those belts were in kick boxing not mma

Sandhagen wanted this fight so bad mma KZreadrs yaping for absolutely nothing :

UFC favours Grapplers. That's why Dagestani are dominant. In other promotions Strikers are dominant.

Dana actually mention that nobody want to fight umar so, top fighter ducking him is not far fetched

I like the background

The Aliskerov privilege is the worst example imo. He beat Phil Hawes then they schedule him for Costa?? Wtf???

I don't get ur point about Alex getting called out as champion??? Everyone calls out champions. U got unranked people coming to the UFC calling out champions.

They gave dustin title-shot for beating a 12th ranked prospect, a 10th flyweight skipped line last week, you clearly ran out of ideas or authentic thoughts for a video.

It’s cuz of the casual Muslim fans who can’t stop d riding khabib and their fighters. Umar don’t deserve Cory and Cory is sacrificing his title shot for this worthless fight

@akhi5749

Ай бұрын

Who is Umar supposed to fight when all the ranked Bantamweights refuse to fight him. Props to Cory for wanting to challenge himself and give an up and comer a shot.

Oh come on by now we know rankings mean shit (and that's bad) why would the dagestanis be an exception ?

You purposefully left out the main reason, that being that more muslims will pay to watch if a high ranking muslim is fighting.

I usually like your videos but this one is not it. The hate Dagestanis get especially for fights that are called for by the OPPONENT is ridiculous. Cory wanted this and kept asking for it even after the initial one fell through

As much as I don’t agree with Umar vs Cory, we can’t hate Umar since if he had declined it, he would’ve been a duck for declining it 2x. Blame Dana.

Buday wasn't an ordinary new heavyweight fighter,he was 11-0 and fought better competition outside the UFC as the most HW fighters which are joining the UFC + he almost destroyed all of those guys(10 finishes in 11 fights,allmost all of them in round 1) so it is legit to give such a guy a better opponent as the most UFC Newcomers and because the UFC doesn't have many HW fighters outside the Top 15 he ended up to get M.Buday He beat Buday in a brutal fashion and absolutley destroyed him in his first UFC fight. Buday was 4-0 in UFC and the best unranked fighter in the division at the time he fought Gaziev After that dominate performance there was no other guy in the HW divison more deserving to get a ranked fighter next.

Shamiel the Blob Gaziev GOAT run starts now

That's the new feminist movement: Fighting against Dagestani privlige.

These people were also complaining when islam got the title shot. i don't get why these dagistani fighters get that hate

Yeah, that darn skill privilege

They also rarely fight each other.

Makachev was on 10 fight win streak and no one wanted to fight him. Abuls megomed got fight against sean strickland when sean was a short notice fighter. And we gonna pretend rosentruik is a big star? And anka getting privilege? You're that dumb? Umar wouldn’t get that fight unless sandman called for it. Sandman actually had the balls to call him out unlike other fighters in his division. How can he fight a ranked opponent when ranked fighters actively duck him?

I'm not a fan of them but I don't think they are privileged. And the answer to why they fight on home soil so often - UFC needs them on these Middle-Eastern cards, there are still not that many fighters from this area in the UFC. It's like asking why Brits are fighting in England or Canadians in Canada so often.

LMAO.. u forgot Suga fought Yan before for tittle contender? Charles fought Chandler for the belt? U just hatin.. thats all..

sounds like you just want to complain, Dagestani fighters worked hard and got strong results, they also get ducked a lot
