Caio Borralho vs Khamzat

[Goat Poster]

How likely is it to happen and how does it go?

Seems the kind of fight you put on a Pantoja/Woman title fight PPV to get some extra buys. With the renegotiation of the TV deal, seems there is a big chance the fight happens.
If Khamzat didn't drop out of half his fights and missed weight before he probably doesn't take it but I don't know if he is in position to refuse fights....

I think they shit the bed and make it a 3 rounder though. Khamzat has a much bigger name and it favours him tremendously...

i'd have to favor cum-shot. but i wouldn't sleep on Caio. he's a dark horse and damn talented

Something interesting is that caio trained with khamzat and said khamzat has the best cardio he has ever seen and he correctly predicted khamzat to dominate whittaker. I think caio would do better than Rob and make it a closer fight but still lose due to the wrestling gap

 

[Unheralded Truth]

Caio has said that Chimaev and Strickland are on another level than anything he's felt in sparring. Them being a bit ahead of him.

I trust his words and basically think he'd lose (also based on what I've seen in fights of course)

I honestly don't know who would beat Khamzat. Maybe I'd choose Robocop as the best shot. Think Khamzat beats Caio easy.

 

[Ladder Master]

Round 1 Khamzat is a problem for all.

Borralho is good but Khamzat murks him, IMO.

This fight absolutely should happen. The rest of the top guys are booked

Dricus is fighting strickland. Izzy is fighting imavov. Allen is fighting hernandez. Whittaker is seeing a dentist.
That leaves Khamzat and Caio free. I wish both would fight. I want an active division.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure khamzat will just wait, which will in turn make caio wait out longer, too.

He see's them as his friends and always compliments them and picks them in fights, but he's also recently come out and said he has told the UFC that he has no problem fighting khamzat or strickland.

Robocop on paper should be tough due to his size and BJJ but he got chinned by jordan williams and bruno ferreira, I think khamzat would just knock him out

 

[swizztony]

Caio is a training partner of khamzats, he basically says khamzat dominated him in sparring

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

The savior Bo Nickal will stop this madness.

Is Chim up for this? Surely he'd rather just sit out and wait for his shot (not saying I think he should)

We had a hell of a barn burner with Burns, I imagine they both throw haymakers until someone drops. I don't think Robocop has a bad chin he was just recklessly aggressive. But good point, Khamzat has the power.
