Chimaev warning Burns he's coming to strike

[UFConFOX]

I respect that.

Personally I don’t think it’s a trivial or meaningless statistic. The name of the game is hit and don’t get hit. This is the embodiment of the aforementioned and in an exemplary way.

LOL
It is a statistic which is very irrelevant.

he fought scrubs. he won. whoop-de-doo

 

[The Schmoop]

who’s Gilbert knocked out other than a 42 year old Maia?
Khamzat probably has more kos and he’s had 10 fights

he had the current p4p on Queer Street..

 

[Shaddows]

Lol @ calling an ultra impressive statistic of something extremely important in a fight "irrelevant"

Kid, Demian Maia used to beat people without throwing any strike.
Do you know why? Because he was a BJJ wizzard.

Your statistics and blind nutsuckery is just what it is.
Continue having an erection when you hear his name. It is fine.
But know that you are just a blind nuthugger, and that your thoughts are just biased.
Have some common sense. That's all I ask.

quite the opposite though.
It depends on someone else's style.
Maia's motto was to Win a fight without the need to inflict any damage.
“Fighting for me is a chess game. I'm not angry with my opponent. I just want to go in there and win.”

So telling me someone was not hit, it can merely point out that he fought guys whose background were not striking.
That's irrelevant.

And again, he was fighting scrubs.
Do this against the top of the division, my opinion will obviously change.

But blind nutsuckers that think he could "take down and beat Ngannou"... All I can do is laugh.
If you don't see how blind they are, then the problem is not mine..

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Khamzat’s true measure of success was that in only a few fights hes been able to attract quite a few die hard hater groupies...LoL

I think you’re off base here. People in here have a different view of the sport than the casuals that have never heard of Borz. And it’s pretty obvious to me that the thing that drives this “hate” you talk about are idiot fanbases on Sherdog.

All this Lord Emporer Chad God Goatmaev shit is too much. The guy is unproven at the high levels. Let alone the highest levels. When the GOAT of any given weight class has 8-11 title defences. Yet people are proclaiming that a guy that doesn’t even have a single top ten win is the future GOAT. I personally find that to be ridiculous. And if a loss will put an end at least temporarily to that nonsense. Then I have no problem with this imagined hate towards a fighter you speak of.

The other day some clown started a thread saying if KZ beats Alex, and then Max he will be the FW GOAT.. With ONE (1) title defence. If you don’t see how ridiculous some of the statements made in here are. Then that’s on you.

To totally disregard the achievements (numerous title defences) of the consensus divisional GOATs is ridiculous and deserves to be made fun of. But I don’t believe any of that is direct “hate” towards these fighters. It’s more about the bandwagon front running clowns in here.

Saying an unproven fighter is unproven is not “hate”. I’m on the fence with Borz. He might be all that, but he is also being given a chauffeured golden ticket ride down the yellow brick road to a TS.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Seems to be aiming for a KO win... thoughts?

The fight hasn't been made yet right

And yet Demian never managed to get hit so little.

 

[Reydereyes]

If Khamzat goes to the ground with Burns it's over.
I saw Khamzat tap in training not so long ago to an older newly promoted blackbelt, triangle choke.

TLDR

But seriously, stupid fans parroting him to be a future great for sure got the wheels rolling on the hate train, others just like to go against the grain, some Sheepdogs revel in failure of hype trains regardless of who it is, then there is the anti-Muslim sentiment... not touching that.

The funny thing about it is we’re all supposed to be fight fans, but seems as if hardly anyone here is ever just a fan of how a fighter performs. I dunno, take it or leave it, for the most part I’m actually just that. I like to see the following as in in my signature...

*Fan of technique, skill, tenacity, ferocity, and fight ending execution*

if a fighter fits that bill and isn’t a habitual criminal, rapist, or excuse maker I’m likely a fan of theirs... Khamzat has displayed an extremely high ceiling and has obviously been dominant in his performances, hence why I’m a fan...

Actually you can say the same thing about Genghis Khan’s favored descendent Shavkat Rakhmonov who I’m also big on, but his dominance has been to a lesser extent, also the UFC hasn’t given him any kind of push.

It’s a simple equation as seen below...
lesser dominance =
lesser promotional push =
less fans =
less haters =
less earning potential for the UFC

Funny how the most important part of this equation from the business standpoint is actually the bottom line, literally and figuratively.

 

[Shaddows]

And yet Demian never managed to get hit so little.

it doesn't matter.
Whoever he beats (or beats him) you can say they were so good, that Damian did not punch him once in their fight! (even though it is because Maia rather just take you down and submit you).

You [proved me right, kid.
try again

 

[Qas]

it's easy to beat low ranked fighters (a hint: That's why they are low ranked fighters)...


Until he consistently beats top competition, yes. he is just hype.

Your argument still doesn’t make sense. His opponents were professional fighters who train every day for many years. Name one fighter who did the same thing against ‘low ranked fighters’. Exactly! Nobody!

You have no argument.

He beat nobodies.
Top ranked fighters don't fight them because they are LOW RANKED FIGHTERS.

SO claiming it doesn't happen is asinine since there's a reason for that.
The only difference here is that your hero is climbing faster and without beating top ranked fighters. HE IS UNPROVEN.

I don't need DP to go and fight unknown, unranked fighters. We know what will happen. That is why they don't put it on TV.

 

[Juan Bombadil]

Burns has no chin. It is known.

 

[Volador]

Inb4 Burns jumps guard repeatedly out of fear, until Khamzat jumps in his guard for the savage GnP KO.

 

[The J0ker]

So telling me someone was not hit, it can merely point out that he fought guys whose background were not striking.

But that’s not true, though. Three of Chimaev’s four UFC opponents were primarily strikers. John Philips and Rhys McKee are kinda bums, I’ll give you that, but Jingliang Li is not a bum. He has 15 fights in the UFC and had never once failed to land a strike until he fought Chimaev.

Gerald Meerschaert, also not a bum. Not a striker, but like Li he has 15 UFC fights and only against Chimaev did he fail to land a single strike.

and yet it happens. Especially in MMA where there are so many variables!

Look at Aldo. The fucking FW GOAT.
lost to COnor without landing any strike.
It happens. It is not common, but it happens.

Again, until he fights and beats top contenders, he is simply a hype job.

And don't you dare tell me he is not!
There's a fucking thread in here speculating he could potentially take Francis Ngannou down and beat him, so don't fucking tell me his fanboys aren't delusional.

 

[UFConFOX]

I hear you on those crazy claims but I’m not proclaiming nor validating any of that asinine 3 div Goat bs. Let’s stick to what I’m arguing.

Pause for a minute about the bar you’ve set, “do this against the top of the Division.” (Re: 264-1)

Bro, dafuq? Seriously - DAFUQ?

Anyone who could 264-1 against the 4 top fighters in any division is probably the best fighter any of us will ever see. Period. Bar none.

Dude I 100% get the hate bc of the fanboys but you straight jumped the shark. It’s equally if not moreso inconceivable than 3 div goat bs.

I guess it’s the old can’t beat ‘em join em? Lol put out something so equally crazy on the other side it makes everyone stop in their tracks.

I see Maia not the only one playing chess.

Ok I gotta go back to reading these checkers rules brb….

quite the opposite though.

Look at Aldo. The fucking FW GOAT.
lost to COnor without landing any strike.

Actually, he did land one strike as he got KOd. Not landing (or absorbing) a single strike is exceedingly rare, and Chimaev has done it in three out of four UFC fights. None of the current GOATs won their first four UFC fights as dominantly as Chimaev. Yes, it wasn’t against top competition, but everyone starts out against low ranked opponents.

This obviously doesn’t make Chimaev GOAT, but if someone was the future GOAT, he would perform like Chimaev in his first four fights.

That’s why he his hyped, because people are excited about the potential he displays.

There's a fucking thread in here speculating he could potentially take Francis Ngannou down and beat him

That thread is stupid and I haven’t even opened it.

 

[pick999]

I really thought burns had him there. But it doesn't matter. Khamzat is going to kill him, then usman.

This time there will be no matt serra

 

[Qas]

Chimaev is far from being a GOAT nor will he ever be able to take Francis or any other (real) heavyweight down. That’s just a fantasy of some little kids with a lot of spare time. That being said, what he has shown so far is very promising. He has the skills and mindset to become a champion. Sure he is being hyped more then other fighters by the UFC but after his last performance you simply can’t state that he’s only hype.
