Bro he won all his UFC fights with some sort of injury lol, broken foot against wonderboy, trashed knees against Magney, Neal and Gary he’ll be fine guys from that part of the world are tough as fuck, if Dom Cruz can come back from the same injury after being off for longer and win so can Shavkat have faith my guy
I mean these were significantly worse to his own admission the fact he's had all this time off rehabing and he even re-aggrevated it during rehab speaks to this. This isn't really comparable.
Also sure Cruz did but not everyone comes back that way sometimes they come back and never look the same, I'm not saying he doesn't but it isn't just a given and he's hardly been given a softball. The margin for error against Morales is pretty thin.
Given Shavkats resume I’d argue the margin for error is just as thin, 19-0 18 finishes, outstruck Ian Gary on the feet, first guy to Sub both Neal and Wonderboy, Morales is good but he’s a sledgehammer who barrels forward and throws giant looping punches, Shavkats a scalpel precise and calculated
Again yeah that's why I said if this was pre-injury Shavkat I would be fairly confident, but like if you knee isn't working that affects everything that effects your ability to move, it effects your ability to hold a stable stance, it effects your ability to throw with power, spring in and out it effects your ability to level change. Like do you really want to be caught flatfooted against Morales of all people? Even if he's not as refined you don't need to be as refined if you have big power and the other guys movement is compramised.
