To be fair, he doesnt seem too religious, he even has trained with women lol.He's an insecure bully.
He always puts on too much weight and overtrains, for fear of losing a fight. He quits on his weight cuts or if training camp doesn't go perfectly. He tries to fight smaller fighters at higher weight classes. And most importantly: He is known to KO/injure training partners.
This guy is an insecure bully and a terrible person. He's a religious extremist and hangs out with war criminals. I don't understand how anyone can support him. Legit terrible human being.
U might be right on the money
Here's a timestamped clip from fight week against Burns
some fighters train at the same time as their acticipated actual fight time in order to climatize to fighting late at night.Great find, skipping rope at midnight is a hell of a red flag
good point.if he has anxiety why does he put extra pressure on himself by talking all the shit he talks?
He was never that guy Dana wanted him to be maybe?I did see something about how hes been scheduled for 4/5 main events but they've all been cancelled for one reason or another
Hmmm i see his immune system gets weaker as the fight gets closeEvery training patner comments how he trains like a madman. Also (when he) fights the same way, with little regard to energy management.
I'm afraid that his anxiety got to a point he seems to have a breakdown when the fight is getting close, so he panics dealing with any adversity like food poisoning or whatever that was (and he recovered quickly).
He also has a tendency to talk about retirement, as if things got suffocating and unbearable to him, clear sign of anxiety.
Maybe Therapy Chimaev is the legendary fighter we will never have.
Dude already had 4 training sessions that day. When the usual is 2 or 3.some fighters train at the same time as their acticipated actual fight time in order to climatize to fighting late at night.
floyd mayweather sometimes used to train at 1am-2am
same with the deceased johnny tapia i believe.
imagine only training in the mornings until 12pm but your fight is at 1230am.
I dont know, he can certainly perform and talk shit.He was never that guy Dana wanted him to be maybe?

Kadyrov makes him give him a lap dance at gunpointOn top of all that, he has to dance for his life every time he has to visit Kadyrov.
