Ankalaev or Makhachev - Who would you like to see Khamzat fight?

[El Fernas]

Isnt one (to this day) a LW?? Are they going to fight at MW?? I guess Ank.

 

[Gregoire1]

In LHW I give Ank 75% over Chimaev, in WW I give Chimaev 65% over Islam, so Islam - Chimaev is more interesting.

when my gf has ''headache'' I go to her friend so lets allow belt or weight class jumping thanks to Coker Mctaperson

 

[chinarice]

Khamzat would beat them both but I'd rather see him fight Islam of the 2.

 

[Tweak896]

Undefeated?

Hazmat vs owl face all the way.

Jiucelam ( @Tweak896 he is not even undefeated) is too small, no matter how much sambo vitamins he will take.

Ank I see at least being able to give hazmat run for his money. Would be hilarious if owl face lay n prays hazmat.

Oof it's been so long I forgot about that loss. Well aura of invincibility. Ank has had some close fights and didn't really look dominant his run in the UFC so far. Nice catch.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Islam of course, but I think the size difference is too much.

 

[swizztony]

Islam is way too small for khamzat how is this a question. We saw how Khamzat played around with Arman like he was a child and Arman had close grappling exchanges with Islam

 

[HHJ]

Put him Ankalaev

 

[HHJ]

Stay in his fucking division and defend his own belt.

I hate Conor for what he did to this sport.

He did not do that to this sport. The UFC did that to themselves. Its the nature of prize fightin, the prize got bigger.

Conor's star power upped the ante and the prize got bigger.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Id like to see him defend his belt a few times.

 

[Streeter]

Lol he beats Ankalev with ease maybe a little tougher than DDP but meh. Ank os no doubt a tough guy and strong but there's levels an he isnt on it.

Mak - if he has the room to add that weight would be interesting depending on how well he could add the weight thats a Pick em for me.

 

[nonoob]

Khamzat Chimaev has opened as big favourite over Ankalaev. The bookmakers truly believe in Chimaev´s skillset

Gotta go with Ank, besides Mak probably wouldn't go for a challenge except from FW.

Mak vs Volk 3 is WAY more likely to happen IF Volk will go post-surgery off the couch on extreme short notice AGAIN .

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Let's say Makhachev wins his fight against JDM, (Which still hasn't been announced) and Ankalaev beats Poatan.

If Khamzat was given the choice and opportunity to fight either guy, who would you rather see him fight?

Btw I like to see Khamzat defend the belt at least a couple of times, but this is just a hypothetical scenario.

Fight the big guy, fight at 205, he is too big for 170.

 

[swizztony]

Size difference between khamzat/ank and khamzat/islam for anybody who thinks khamzat Islam would be a better fight

 

[alchemy]

At least 3 consecutive title defenses should be mandatory before being allowed to switch weight classes for another championship fight.

 

[MMAFanCal]

Islam is too small. No way he can compete with Khamzat inspite of his elite grappling skills. Khamzat is a lot more closer in size to big Ank than Islam to Khamzat. That is why, it should be Khamzat vs Big Ank.

 

[frankmorris1]

ankaleav, simply because it will more of a challenge. that said, i dont like any of these fighters

 

[cblitz]

He has too much of a size advantage on Makhachev.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Islam is too small

Khamzat vs. Ankalaev would be bathtub hipster fan critical mass
