Who should Khazmat Chimaev fight next?

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

It seems like Demian Maia, but who would you rather see?

Anyone else I should put on the poll? Just let me know thanks.

 

[VVarhead]

Anthony Pettis imo.
Ranked #13, has decent striking and very good Jiu-Jitsu. Interesting match-up because I'm not sure how much the Meerschaert fight proves, although it was a beautiful and great performance.

 

[dragovic]

I’d say Pettis because it would be the easiest one with the biggest name.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

It has to be somebody ready to go within a month. Dana said Maia wouldn’t be ready by then. So I have no idea. Just make a fight and the world will be watching.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

chiesa sounds perfect actually

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Chiesa needs to be FED to Chimaev next.

 

[capnlarge]

Someone in the top 15. Chimaev needs a number

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Chiesa will duck Chimaev as if his life depends on it.

 

[youllneverwalkalone]

Any of those guys - except Geoff Neal - would make sense.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Out of those, Chiesa.

 

[Reb]

Mike Perry. The shit talk would be fun.

 

[TheMessiah]

Pettis sucks against wrestlers, easy fight for Khamzat. Give him Perry and i would love to see Mike get humbled by Khamzat

 

[pankrat]

Chiesa will duck Chimaev as if his life depends on it.

Why do you assume so? It's a good opportunity to fight an unexperienced fighter with crazy amount of hype behind him.

Chiesa has a history of banging on about fighting up the rankings rather than down. I don't think he'd take a fight with someone unranked.

Someone with power, speed and excellent wrestling is a nightmare for Chiesa anyway, I think it's an awful style matchup for him personally.

 

[HatKick]

Neil Magny would be a super interesting fight. Two excellent grapplers... One of them a tall reachy guy with good boxing and footwork. The other has godly power. I think the odds would be close.

 

[Canarinha]

He would steamroll any of those guys especially Pettis(he would wrestlefuck him to Vormir and back)

Chiesa would possibly last one round out of those guys.

 

[avid1]

pettis would be boring. I really like chiesa/magny

 

[bigconan]

Anthony Pettis imo.
Ranked #13, has decent striking and very good Jiu-Jitsu. Interesting match-up because I'm not sure how much the Meerschaert fight proves, although it was a beautiful and great performance.

he would run through the quitter pettis like a hot knife through butter. not even a remotely close fight.

 

[bigconan]

chiesa sounds perfect actually

he'd kill chiesa....he's just too strong. if he doesn't smash him on the ground, he will ko him standing.

 

[gspieler]

Brock Lesnar.
