If Costa runs through Chimaev, what does that mean for the Chimaev future?

[Givvee]

He has more wins over MWs on the UFC roster than Costa does and he hasn't fought at MW in years lol how fucking pathetic is that?

Khamzat has numerous wins over fighters on the UFC roster. To pretend their resumes are the same is hilarious.

Like Rhys Mckees and John Phillips right?

If we are talking about ranked wins, it's pretty close in their respective weigh class, Khamzat has Gilbert Burns and Paulo Costa's got Yoel Romero as his best scalp. Even a washed up and inactive Luke Rockhold, is a better win than Kevin Holland, Rhys Mckees, John Phillips, GM3 and Li Jingliang.

Never read that one before. I like it.

Watch the fight again. I give Costa a lot of more credit in that fight than people on this forum but it was not a grappling clinic.

It wasnt a grappling clinic, but he did outgrapple luke in most scrambles, and luke is not mediocre on the ground but the absolute best.

I feel obliged to ask it.

Chimaev has had an unreal amount of support and whilst he could win, I'm convinced he won't.

So then what?
Losing to a MW who often gets written off...
Back to WW to be a journeyman and miss weight?

Disappear never to be seen again?

I'd be shocked if they both show up.
I'd be shocked if the fight doesn't happen at SHW.
Khazmat's future, if he shows up, will be in the Super HW Division.

There is no future.
Chimaev will not be able to weight bully Costa. He will gas himself out with his early rush then Costa will take over and spank that Chechen ass.
