Who do you see giving Khamzat the most trouble at WW-MW ?

[flowoftruth]

I would like to say usman because he can stop the takedown but at this point i think he would get ko'd on the feet

Middle weight - Rob Whittaker hands down

Whittaker

Interesting i didnt think of Whittaker before. Yoel would be very interesting if he was still in the ufc

 

[Hazuki Ryo]

WW i think Burns

Definitely Whittaker is his nightmare matchup, closely followed by Usman

Why Whittaker? I can see Khamzat taking him down and smeshing him.

Romero tried 18 takedowns in their first fight ... was successful with 4....

His wrestling is far greater than Khazmats .. ( for takedowns )..

And Rob's knee was shot to hell from the first round

I hope Marty sticks around for the Khamzat matchup. Man is already angling for early retirement (lol knees) so I really hope it happens.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Vladimir Mineev but he's not in the UFC. Inside the UFC I would agree and go with Whittaker.

Fighter Kevin Lee.

[GUY]

at WW Usman. Khamzat was not able to outgrapple that russian sambo guy, so I dont think he can outgrapple Usman. He brutaly KO'd the guy, but he looked like he was getting tired to me. He never faced anyone with good striking, if Usman can keep it standing it will be new territory for Khamzat, trading strikes with a good striker. Could see him gassing out and being in trouble. However, Usman is kind of hittable, his striking is good but is defense is only decent and Khamzat has bombs in his hands. I believe either Khamzat KO's him or loses a decidion/TKO.

Khamzat is unproven.

Is he is as good as everyone thinks and doesn't develop injury.

Than none of these guys can give him trouble.

Romero's MMA wrestling isn't that amazing as his freestyle was when he was competing. He's having a hard time holding people down if he gets the TD. I don't really see Romero as a good indicator of Whittaker's TDD, even though it's obviously very good. I don't see him stopping Khamzat though.

Whittaker is the grappler killer. Brunson, Jacare and Romero couldn’t take him down and got lit up on the feet

They did took Whittaker downs few times but they couldn't hold him down because of his insane scrambling skills.

Wonderboy more than Whitaker. Way more

 

[Xoleth]

WW - Usman & Colby
MW - Whittaker

10 years ago, yes. In 2021 - no way.
