After Khamzat Khizarovich Chimaev Has His Way With Rob, Will the Irrational Hatred end?

Better question. Now that he's backed out of yet another fight will these nuthugger threads stop?

<Moves>
Hopefully I don't have to hear anything else about this guy not getting everything he was promised. Or him having to earn "everything twice."

He's kinda had a paved pathway and has screwed it up not once (Vs Leon) not twice (Vs Diaz) but now thrice (Vs Whittaker)
 
Most of the hate he gets is totally rational. The things he gets flak for are fighting once a year, crushing cans but struggling as soon as he meets resistance, missing weight, and the "see you soon" tweets for fights he never gets.

But that is all stuff he does.
 
I just don't see a chance for Rob, but for just catching him pressing. No one else has really been close if you think about it. Mad respect to Bobby Knux... take the L with grace and ride off into your HOF sunset.

@irrational borz haters: when he's done dominating every part of this thing, can he get the strap that should already be his?

All Love

I knew this thread wouldn't age well but man this did not age well lol
 
i keeeelllll errrrvybuuoddyyyy

lol
 
I guess they now hope he recovers and they can find an opponent for Abu Dhabi in October where they can give him a title shot off a win.
 
He's going to end up one of the biggest what ifs out there, imo. Seemed to have all the potential in the world but can't get in the cage.
This is the path he’s on. A “what if”

This is a significant setback for him, and I hope he gets fired up and gets back to fighting asap. However, I believe now he’ll just wait it out for abu Dabi, and it just won’t garner the right attention.

Middleweight division is stacked right now. It’s gonna be hard to succeed unless you’re fighting actively

I can't imagine the UFC wants to give him a title shot since he can't fight in the US.
