Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Grant beating Maynard was by far the biggest, hugest win of his career.  

I agree that Maynard was by far the bigger win than Cerrone beating Noons.

But Maynard was the first Top 20 LW that Grant has ever fought.  Don't you think you're rushing it a little?

A Grant vs. Cerrone fight would certainly cement and certify a title shot, don't you think?

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Wiman is a top 25 fighter not top 15, but he Grant defeated Dunham a top 15 fighter and Maynard a former title challenger. He deserves it.

Prediction: wrong Trujillo   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Many lists had Wiman in the top 15 maybe 20 range before his fight with Grant.Top 25 is too much,he definitely isn't a top 25 fighter.

Grant or Thomson I would be fine with the next title shot. My pick would be Grant.

Maynard/Melendez makes sense if Gray's still motivated. 

Khabib vs. Healy or Thomson

Khabib vs Cowboy or Dos Anjos will be good i think Khabib will beat them both, not so sure if he will beat Healy or Thomson those 2 should fight each other anyway

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Thomson already beat Healy in Strikeforce and Khabib beat Tibau who beat RDA. Doesn't mean it wouldn't be a good fight, just why I chose Healy or Thomson.

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

i wondered why Thomson was calling out Cerrone i thought it would be a step backwards for him seeing as hes probly 1 big win away from a title shot but i forgot he beat Healy, now Thomson/Cerrone makes sense theres not really anyone else for Thomson, Khabib/Healy will be a tough fight

edit: i still like Khabib vs Dos Anjos, i just seen Healy is suspended for a while anyway for smoking weed with Bryan Caraway about that bonus money and stuff a few weeks ago

I think Khabib vs Cowboy makes the most sense right now. It's a large step up obviously, but its not overdoing it. I don't see any need to rush things with Nurmagomedov. He should be the LW Glover. He isn't getting fast-tracked to the title, which gives him more time to make EVERYONE believe he is the rightful contender. I like it.

He probably would look for the clinch/throw alot. But unlike Abel who regardless of his wrestling background is primarily a striker or a guy who can't do damage unless he is in top position.. Cowboy is always active from his back and it would be an interesting fight.

Really can't go wrong with Khabib vs. any one of Cowboy, Thomson, Healy, or Diego. I think he could compete with and possibly beat all of them and they'd all put him into solid contention with an impressive win.
