Do you think Khamzat Chimaev will be well prepared for a 5 round fight?

[Tweak896]

People are going to be shocked when the narrative that Khamzat has 1 round of cardio finally dies. DDP isn't like a Diaz Bro with unlimited cardio either. There's plenty of footage of him throwing haymakers for 3 rounds straight or grappling for 20 minutes+. The only wrestler I know with shit cardio was 40 year old Coleman, 40 year old Hendo, or 40 year old Brunson.


Watch his fight with Whittaker and ask if he didn't get the RNC, is that a strenuous pace? He looked like he could do that 5 rounds.

 

[Serge421]

Khamzat will finish him before he gets gassed

 

[Thy]

No, fight will get canceled somehow cause that's his thing.

 

[Alpha_T83]

I see no reason for Khamzat to change his gameplan at this point. He's ragdolled everyone so far. He's gonna try the same thing every fight until someone stops him.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

He fights every fight like it's a sprint and has constantly shown that he slows down after about 12 minutes. I don't expect that to change. If he gets into the later rounds I expect him to lose at least 2 rounds due to exhaustion.

I wonder if he's still training there? His new coach who seemed to be a major part of the reason why his camp was working due to having a highly respected Chechen dude who he listened to and obeyed orders from unfortunately died.

Guy seemed to finally be in a good place camp wise and his head coach dies..

I think he is, satiev wasn't his main trainer, Khamzat's trainer for the whittaker was the coach of satiev who trained the russian olympic wrestling team, I forgot his name but it was mentioned during the UFC 308 embedded. And chimaev mentioned how that place was perfect for training since it had no distractions compared to a place like Dubai where he used to train with TKMMA or Sweden in Allstars which is the gym that overtrains, it would be odd if he decided to leave that place

 

[Streeter]

It takes a year to ready himself to go 1 rd once . 5 rds .......maybe he will be ready around 2027.

 

[BigTruck]

Do you think his stamina will be better? Or is he going to pace himself and not gas out?

Or Khamzat fighting style is to go full bore right from the start and to finish his opponent asap?

Knowing his potential next opponent, you would think he'd come with a game plan and be smart.

I guess we'll find out.

I don't think it's in his mentality to care about the later rounds or even game plan outside of full on blitz mode.

 

[BigOlJeet]

I dare say Kimbo Slice had a better gas tank.

 

[pātrēärkē]

No. Khamzat's style is so aggressive that his cardio will always suffer. If he was to pace himself it would detract from his advantages.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

I think its more metality

Any man gonna gas at the pace he brings

We need a slightly more patient Khamzat, but would it work for him?

I think he finds comfort in that chaos and the high-pace action

Maybe if he was calm/calculated, he would be exposed more idk

Whatever works for the guy, and can he fight more frequently as he did when he first started? Not twice in a month but maybe 3x in a year?

Ok good, I was worried that that camp would disintegrate with the death of Satiev

 

[ElLunico]

He didn't blow himself out in the Whittaker fight really. He made sure he got the position he needed and then just rode him and had Whittaker carry all of his weight.

That fight was over quick lol

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I voted I have no clue..

Don’t misunderstand me. I think Borz’ gameplan will be to get Dricus out of there, ASAP. But if he doesn’t do it within 2 rounds. Then I see him flagging, and losing a decision, or finished in the championship rounds.

I’m just not sure what my prediction is yet.
