Anyone else think Chimaev needs a Manager?

[Rhood]

He needs someone like Ed Soares to think ahead for him.
Chimaev pulled out of the Saudi Arabia card in June, yet didn't think ahead to ask when the UFC will host events in the Middle East again.
He could've easily jumped back into action on the Dubai card tomorrow.

What are the odds of the UFC holding 2 events in the ME in less than 60 days?
When will he get another opportunity to fight in the Middle East again? 2025 or 2026?

I have a feeling Chimaev is done. He's become Zabit 2.0
He's Zabit Jr.

I think any real manager is gonna have to still deal with Kadyrov's bullshit.

 

[kingmob6]

He just needs Darren Till. Can be both his manager, his best friend, his practice whipping boy, and his haram bf.

Rich Paul will get him ownership in the UFC. GOAT @Revolver

He already has a manager.

He has a manager: Andreas Michael.

It's not as simple as hopping on another card. UFC wants the time to promote him and the Abu Dhabi card was already booked with big names and a title eliminator. Also, how does UFC put all their eggs back in the Khamzat basket and spend money to promote him when he just pulled out.
Honestly, Khamzat has received more preferential treatment and marketing play than any fighter with his limited resume.
Dude will never be champion, and not because of his talent. He's a killer. But he can't make it to the cage.

I think you mean a babysitter, not a manager. But I agree he might be done. The dude solves one problem only to create 2 more. Combine that with the worst immune system of anyone to have fought in the UFC, and I don't think he's around in 2027. I can't stand the guy, and his fans are the worst, but I hope I'm wrong, because he definitely makes things more interesting when he's active.

Not even going to attempt to unpack this gem.

 

[Human Bass]

His ufc career is pretty much over. Why an American promotion wants a fighter that cant enter the USA?

 

[ThePimblettEra]

He just needs to like, actually fight & stuff.

He was carrying momentum at one point but that's pretty much vanished at this point.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Maybe, just maybe now.
Actually taking a fight and making it to the cage might help his stock?

I know it’s crazy right?

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

What is a manager going to do? Khmazat is a drop out merchant, how is a manager going to stop him from tucking tail?

[Pancake Sprawl]

this guy can be his manager and they both can help each other find the heart to fight through the stomach aches and sniffles that has ravaged his poor MMA career.

 

[KO Shotz]

Khamzat is done. COVID has done a number on him & he has traveling issues.

 

[Ube]

he doesn’t even fight. What’s the point of a manager if the manager has nothing to manage.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Dude needs a doctor, a visa, some non terror ist friends
*and a treadmill

 

[Ladder Master]

Why would you need a manager if you don't show up for work anymore?

Not a manager but an advocate.
