Brunson is actually one of the toughest matchups for Chimaev

[ColbyCovChamp]

I don't know how good Chimaev's striking is other than the fact that he has power

But I highly doubt he would have any success grappling with Bumson at all

Bumson has never been taken down and has outwrestled guys like Romero fairly easily

It would basically be a striking match which Chimaev could win, but I wouldn't favour him to do so

 

[Grapplefest]

Chimaev would win on the feet, Brunson has a much worse chin

Has Chimaev's chin even been tested yet?

Find me one clip of him getting hit cleanly by a powerful striker and I'll believe you

 

[TITS]

Where's the banana skin guy?

 

[Enigma87]

That would actually be a legitimate step up and a guy who makes sense. Would watch

 

[Fesaine]

There's a much higher chance of chimaev knocking Brunson out than taking him down. I don't think anyone from 185 to 205 could take Brunson down and hold them there.

I seriously don't even think Jones or DC could do it, you are right.

A good way to not get knocked out is to avoid getting hit cleanly

Which Brunson has done well since the Izzy fight while Khamzat has been fighting cans

Cool, Brunson has been fighting for longer and Khamzat is working his way up the rankings. What is your point?

The point is that some dude made the claim that Chimaev's chin was better

Which is categorically false because he's never even been hit cleanly

My point is Khamzat has shown nothing to suggest he can beat Brunson in any facet of mma. Aswell as the point that some dude made the claim that Chimaev's chin was better

Brunson is like on the fence of being UFC calibur gatekeeper ( maybe a smidge above- which is good) which is a perfect next fight for this guy.

I co sign. ..and I hope brunny does what he did to the last hype + + . ....and I have nothing against this guy except for fans anointing him a double champ .It makes u root against him in like a human nature kind of way when people talk like this.

Chimaev grappled with undefeated sambo world champ ikram aliskerov from dagestan, who is better than khabib

And you expect former cheerleader Brunson to hold a candle grappling him ? Is this guy nuts ?

He couldn't even take that can down lol

Chimaev's wrestling was exposed badly against that journeyman Sambo bum

Sambo world champ = BJJ purple belt

No stop It

You need to calm down, guys

Jones couldn't even take down one legged MW journeyman Thiago Santos so he has no chance of outwrestling Brunson

 

[linvillegorge]

I don't think Brunson will ever be the champ, but he's a legit top 10 fighter. He'd be a very big step up for Chimaev.
