i'm completely sold on khamzat

[WildShrimper]

damn the bookies saw that coming, I was surprised at the odds but Khamzat just didn't let Rob survive.

 

[188912345]

is not really dislike, his previous fights just had some asterisks

i still think he lost the burns fight

Extreme nitpicking. Burns exceptional bjj stopped this kind of game plan, so it was mostly striking. His pure raw talent was pretty obvious to see.

 

[Vampire life]

i've been criticising him a lot bu the man deserve his flowers

his grappling really is next level

cant wait to see him facing dricus

I’m not
He didn’t do shit besides wrestle and face crank

That was a shit fight

 

[mister piscadinha]

The wrestling advantage is sooooo much bigger than any size disparity. Khamz is well over 200lbs and can easily put more muscle on his frame if he wanted, but he honestly Probly doesn’t even need to. I’m telling you, he would destroy alex

i say too small cause wrestling is very strength related, and if he struggled to get him down
shit would turn south imediately, also putting more muscule may severe his cardio

alex is probably 220 in the cage, i think khamzat 200
but who knows, i'm impressed with him

 

[wh4tttt]

Shoots so low like gamrot at times.

When done right no can defend.

not really nitpicking, he may face someone with excellent bjj in the future and who knows if it won't turn into another brawl?

yeah, the fight didn't show anything new to us
i'm still picking dricus

 

[kkthx]

Maybe. He’s very likely to lose.

I’m talking Borz tho. borz is the poatan killer. Kickvoxer kryptonite. There’s nothing a kickboxer can do to him, short of a lucky punch.

Don't forget that khamzat will need to use a lot more energy to try to finish a big LHW in the first round. Not sure if he can, and if it goes past the first round Pereira would literally murder him. Also not sold on Whitaker having better defensive wrestling than Pereira, but that's up for debate.

5 years late bro but cool I guess

Everything on its own time.

Me too
Bobby has always been undersized in this division, he’s fast and accurate, that’s what saved him
But DDP is a good sized boy- Khamzat won’t be fighting another welterweight like he has with burns and Bobby

Bullshit
Burns outnstruck him and dropped him twice
Khamzat has fought two welterweights and isn’t all that

 

[fedorthegoat777]

He has already beaten two all time greats. Hes legit.

Wonder what ranking they move him up to . .. . #13 is nuts. How far can you move up after one fight??

Sorry if Rob was not good enough as a wrestler/grappler

 

[Richard Fannin]

I became sold on his ability when I saw him dominate Rockhold in that grappling video, but still had concerns about him making it to & performing in the cage

Not any more

But... that was just a few months ago, wasn't it?

Unless they had another grappling bout before the one that took place in May (the show aired later obviously), but if that's the case I'm not familiar with it

 

[Apprenticek]

When he was out with his sickness, what people don't know is that he was bit by a radioactive spider.

Not sure what your point is tbh

I picked Khamzat to finish Rob in round 2 in the "bragging rights" thread a few days ago

I just wasn't completely sold he would dominate elite true MWs on the ground until I saw him make what was probably a 200 lb Rockhold look levels beneath him in that vid

 

[pamirec]

why the hell did Rob tap as soon as the forearm was under his chin ? Must be one of the fastest taps in history.

His teeth were broken. A little longer and he would’ve cracked his lower jaw and swallow some of his teeth.

His teeth weren't cracked, the lower jaw did break hence why they teeth looked fucked, nasty injury.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Its hilarious how much people doubted him. Acting like he got "exposed" because he had competitive fights with two guys who would be most peoples career best wins rather than just running through them in the first round like he did with most of his other opponents.

Its always been clear that the guy is a special talent.

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

Khamzat has delivered every time.
He overcame any lingering doubts in a big way today.
Id like to see him get back in the cage as soon as possible.
