    Chael is usually super reasonable until it comes to Colby. Half his videos are "Usman shouldn't get a rematch" and "Khamzat should be at middleweight". He just wants Colby to fight Leon but not get fingered by Khamzat on the way to a shot.

      The idea that khamzat would steamroll Colby is pretty silly.
      Nothing we have ever seen from Colby or khamzat leads to that conclusion.
      Even if you think khamzat would win, it’s not at all clear or obvious that he would destroy him
      Khamzat had a war with Gilbert. Is it obvious Gilbert would destroy Colby ? If Gilbert can stand with khamzat, Colby definitely can. And Colby has better wrestling than Gilbert. So..

    There's strikers and there's strikers. Almost no one in the UFC is a 'bad' striker but there's levels. Rob is a world class striker, best of the best, so are people like Leon Edwards. We saw what Leon's striking did to Usman when he though he could stand with him.
