News Chimaev: Conor's gonna get a slap. We'll see what kind of man he is face to face.

floormat this is old smacktalk used by Conor's previous opponents. get some new material if you're gonna try to sell a conor fight doofus. chael is the authority on how to start a storyline, check with him shortbus.
 
You're the man @shoorik1987

But get to fight island and start your camp!

We don't need Khamzat doing a fucking world tour mid COVID right before this fucking fight
 
I like like Chimaev and down for it if he proves it.
But it really seems as if the UFC is just trying to use this guy for promotion a replacement Khabib-lite for the new age fans.
 
Definitely best and most interesting Khamzat interview to date!
 
Chimaev has done what he's had to do to win against the opponents in front of him, the Leon fight is going to finally show us exactly if hes being rushed too fast, or if he's right where he needs to be. Worst case scenario he loses and then we'll have to see him fight a Top 10 guy, then Top 5 and build him up again, but if he beats Edwards, then the sky's the limit and we didnt have to wait 2 years to get this guy to the place he is already at.
 
so far i like the guy, the skills speak for themselves.

we shall see if it works with ranked guys soon.

it is still a sad state when you think you need to speak conors name for popularity.
this guy doesn't need conor or khabibs worn out phrases to become famous.
starting to look like he is trying to hard.

have trust, it will come, just keep up the hard work.
 
I'm not even a fan of Conor but the cult of personality these guys have around Khabib is fucking weird lmao.

Wouldn't be surprised if we had beheadings in his name soon lol.
 
Would be really dumb to jeopardize both of their fights with a brawl

I was thinking the same thing, but after watching a few of Leon Edwards fights, I really see him beating Leon Edwards quite easily. Edwards has very good take down defence (against most non-wrestlers) and if he is taken down is able to get back to his feet on most occasions. He is very good all round fighter, is not really a knock out artist. In fact he is tailor made for somebody like Chimaev.

I think what Chimaev said is very true, ok if he has fought cans, they may well be cans, but do you think Leon Edwards would have been able to dominate those so called cans the way he did? For instance would Leon have been able to dominate Borz's last three opponents and not get hit? John Philips, Rhys Mckee and Meerchaet?

Leon is definitely getting taken town by Borz. Will he be able to get back to his feet?
Here watch Gunnar Nelson vs Leon Edwards:-

Damn, Gunnar got a lot of clinches and was landing takedowns and got into mount. Khamzat gonna take him for a ride if he gets the clinch.
 
Him not even remembering getting hit is not a good thing. He better do some rough sparring and hope he's got a good chin because I can see him getting sparked in the near future if this is the case.

Can this guy fight someone good before he keeps talking shit. I mean, I get it, trying to make a name for himself, but I am tired of it unless he beats Edwards.

Chimaev dominates prime Hendo.
 
Water is wet.
Earth is round.
Russians hate Connor

This is getting redundant.
 
"People say I've beaten cans, ok they were cans"

New interview from Chimaev who is in Moscow right now, visiting friends and family.

Various stuff
- Last time in Moscow for UFC tournament.
- Right now visiting friends, then gonna go to Chechniya to visit father who he haven't seen for 1,5 years.
- Father gonna SMESH him if he doesn't visit.
- Chimaev doesn't work as bouncer anymore, he retired before first UFC fight.
- It was his friends company he worked for, he understands everything.

About Edwards

Q: You have fight coming up against a very tough opponent, Edwards got 8 Ws in a row. That's a great result, but you are still considered a favourite in this fight by the bookmakers. Why do you think you are favourite?

- They see my confidence and how I win my fights. People say I've beaten cans, ok they were cans, but even if you fight a random guy of the street, he'll still land 1,2,3 hits on you, but these guys didn't land on me at all. They say, they landed 2 strikes on me, but I don't even remember them landing anything.

This is why I'm favourite. If you put Edwards agains the guys I fought, do you think he would win without taking any shots? Of course no. But I won like that, that's why I'm considered favourite.

- Hardest punches he ever received was from Gustafsson. Got caught with an uppercut and had a bloody nose.

Q: About blood, Edwards is known for cutting people with his elbows. What do you think about it?

-He's good at catching people who are trying to break distance and get away, but I will not be getting away, I will be pushing forward. I will be pushing forward and wrestle, he will be trying to get away from me.

About McGregor

Q: you and Conor have been trash talking on social media. If you see him on fight Island I think you will not just go past him.

- Of course not. He insulted me. It was fun, but you have to take responsibility for your words. We'll see what kind of guy he is face to face.

Q: What kind of person do you think he is in real life?

- I don't think he's a coward, but he's gonna have to answer for his words.

Q: If you meet him, will you start a fight with him?

- No I won't start a fight, but I gotta give him a bitch slap at least (smile). We'll see how it all plays out.

Q: If you had a fight with McGregor, how long do you think it would last?

- Not long. I wouldn't even have to wrestle him. He's a small guy, 66 kg, I wouldn't need wrestling. If we fought I would knock him out standing. I'm bigger, taller, stronger and faster than him. He has nothing for me, so I don't think he'd fight me.

Other stuff

- He writes his own social media pages, not Abdelaziz.
- Feel comfortable in both WW and MW.
- When fighting MW I only cut 2 kg (4 punds) I eat all I want and fight for fun. WW I have to diet, but I like it as well.
- Khamzat enjoys weight cutting process. He doesn't cut so much weight.
- Khamzat is training with swedish olympic boxing coach. He's progressing well in striking.
- Has a strong right hand. KOs HWs in sparring gloves.
- Khamzat watches a lot of boxing. Likes GGG, likes Floyd technically. Liked Kostya Tzyu.
- Khamzat is a TJ Dillashaw fan, likes his technique. Wants to fight in his style.
- From heavier weight classes likes Gustafsson, one of the best boxers in MMA. He's injured now, but will come back.
- Met Jon Jones. JJ came to him and asked for photo. He said that he wants a picture before you become champion.
- Started watching MMA after a Fedor fight vs Randleman. Remembers that suplex, after he saw that fight he started watching MMA.
- Saw all Fedor fights.
- When it comes to wrestling, Khamzat was a Saitiev fan and strived to be like him.
- When it comes to wrestling for MMA, Khabib is best. He has ideal technique.
- Khamzat usually picks upp his opponents and carries him over to his corner. 2 reasons for that, so he can listen to his coach and so opponent doesn't hear his corner.

About Adesanya
- Adesanya is a comfortable opponent for Khamzat.
- Nobody tried to wrestle him and he is not a wrestler.
- He might defend 1-2-3 takedowns. If you get him a little tired, you can take him down.
- He is a great striker, but this is not karate.
- He would outstrike me, but if I combine striking and my wrestling I will neutralise his striking.
