Media Official poster for UFC Saudi Arabia: Khamzat Chimaev vs Robert Whittaker

[Substance Abuse]

Not saying Whittaker wins but i don’t get this “Whittaker’s chin is gone” narrative, his chin is what you’d expect from a guy consistently fighting hard hitting guys as he climbed the rankings like Brunson, Jacare, Romero, Izzy, DDP and Costa.

The Last Three guys he has been finished by in Ddp, Izzy and Wonderboy have all been Kickboxers, i think that speaks more to a weakness he has against a specific style of fighter rather than his chin being reduced to rubble over night.

I never once said it's bad. Never typed his 'chin is gone', just that I don't think it's the same. To your point, he's been in a lot of wars and fought very good fighters. This deep in his career, it's to be expected.

Lmao, you missed him taking down Weidman several times just months before Whittaker 1? And Weidman is not exactly easy to take down.

Didn’t Brunson pretty much outgrapple Romero in their fight? Brunson was on his way to winning that fight before he got finished.

I like the green that matches the Saudi flag. It’s a million times better than the yellow shit they almost always put out.

Whittaker has been hurt in 8 of his last 9 fights.
His chin isn't that good, he got dropped by a jab from DDP and Adesanya.

Borz can win this by KO as well.

I think there's been enough jab knockdowns in MMA to dismiss the idea that it's either a weak chin or insane power. Fighters get dropped by the right punches and sometimes that jab is the right punch.

How are they so bad at making posters

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Can't wait. Most anticipated upcoming MMA fight for me within the next few months for sure

Who you got in this fight?

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Who you got in this fight?

Tough one.
I like them both
I think both have a good chance to win
If Khamzat doesn't finish it I can see Rob winning a close decision
I have a feeling Khamzat wins by stoppage
How about you

 

[Siver!]

Clean.

Not bad.

[PEDRO IVO RUSSO MIRANDA]

Thats the best figth nigth main event ever??

 

[HHJ]

Of course Chimaev picks one of the smallest Middleweights. ha ha

Former champ/one of the best mw fighters ever

 

[whocares]

Chimaev will gas, catch a head kick and get finished

If Whittaker murks Chimaev that means Whittaker is still on his game but also that Chimaev is a bum.

If Chimaev murks Whittaker it was clearly because Whittaker is not on his game and Chimaev is still a bum.

Not a bum, but the dude never fights. For instance, since Poatan joined the ufc, he had 8 fights, winning 2 belts. Meanwhile chimaev fought 3 times.

 

[witt1021]

even if he wins the UFC isnt giving him a title shot. him being barred from entering the US does have an effect on his career. i do not see him ever being champ as long as that is an issue...

 

[pick999]

They need to stop fighting over there

 

[VinceArch]

May the best man win!

 

[Neck&Neck]

Hopefully they keep the sand out the scales this time
