Low-key the perfect fight for Chimaev

[Martialbeef]

The dude who just tooled Abdul Razak Hassan, Mounir Lazzez.


Am I wrong?
This seems a responsible step up, and Mounir is a dangerous, highly skilled guy with a granite chin, as he showed against one of the hardest hitters in the UFC.

 

[Final Say]

I mean these guys could be the future of the division. Don’t think it hurts either one to lose to the other at this point, but I understand the logic of not wanting to rush a prospect into a super tough fight.

Would watch tf out of it tho

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Chimaev only want smesh Conor McChicken!

It would be a good fight, but both are good prospects, so why have them fight so early instead of letting them develop separately? It's like back in the days Machida and Thiago Silva were both the next big thing at 13-0, and when they finally fought it was for the title shot

 

[CroCopsLHK]

I would say it's a prospect vs prospect fight. Idk his TDD either

 

[usernamee]

No thank you.

Build both guys up.

 

[Fossor]

Why would Chimaev fight nobody, he is a couple of fights away from being two divisional champion and the MMA GOAT. Ask anybody on sherdog!

Lazzez is 32 and got out wrestled by a 5'6 Dagestani his second last fight. He's definitely not the future of the division.

Good fighter, but Chimaev would make easy work of him. Khamzat was much more hyped in brave as well.

 

[Naught2Sixty]

No no just keep making him fight MW's with no ground game and debutant LW's so everyone can keep saying smesh like kindergardeners.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

The UFC is not keen on matching up prospects early in their UFC careers.

Cowboy or even Chiesa are names you can feed to Chimaev to put him on the fast track.

 

[Raffen]

Way to kill a prospect off the bat

Laziz is good but he isnt a wrestler. He'll get mauled at this stage.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Mickey Gall. Regardless of the outcome everyone wins.

 

[Martialbeef]

No thank you.

Build both guys up.

Build both guys up? Is this boxing? They can build vs each other. Both guys can come out a winner if they show they can hang vs extremely talented guys, which they both are. And in reference to the boxing bit, even Dubois vs Joyce is happening later this year.

 

[Final Say]

Lazzez is 32 and got outwrestled 5'6 Dagestani his second last fight. He's definitely not the future of the division.

Didn’t realize he was that old, but his grappling looked pretty good against Hassan. Sometimes you need to take that L to make the next step up.

Fair enough though, I’d love to see the fight regardless

 

[Washad]

Mickey Gall. Regardless of the outcome everyone wins.

I’ve been saying this. This is the fight to make.

DANA!! DAAAANAAAA!

 

[Martialbeef]

What about Hassan himself, then?

 

[fiftywattmafia]

Belal Muhammad

 

[GangGangGang]

Chimaev VS Ramazan Emeev and Mournir Lazzez VS Jake Matthews

 

[Martialbeef]

Chimaev VS Ramazan Emeev and Mournir Lazzez VS Jake Matthews

Why would Lazzez take such a step down, Matthews is shite

 

[Oeshon]

I want Chimaev to be fast tracked and fight names.

I dont want to see him fight other tough prospects.

 

[sadoquera]

it is a good call.

I would prefer to see him against alex oliveira. big ww, is experienced and a relative known name with good striking. otherwise, perry would be a fun fight, and if he beats him, he would get all attention needed from casuals.
