Khamzat beats any MW from any era

[JustOnce]

Yeah it is what it was. But it for sure wasn’t that, what you just said.

okay, well android silva clearly let him take him down to show off his bjj according to him then

just like how he pissed hot entirely due to dick pills

makes sense yes

 

[VAfan]

Nah, his fight against Usman shows he lacks cardio and has no striking. Even DDP, who was completely overmatched, ended up having chances almost sunk in a rear naked choke vs Khamzat when he gassed in round 5.

Khamzat would have zero chance against wrestlers that can actually defend his takedowns, including the "prime" versions of Chael Sonnen, Yoel Romero, Dan Henderson, Chris Weidman, etc.

was going to mention hendo as well. hendo at the time he fought anderson would have had a great chance against anyone (besides anderson). prime hendo against khazmat would have been a fantasy matchup.

There we go. You exposed yourself. You’re mad at him for juicing later in his career so that warps your perception of all his other fights.

 

[KO Shotz]

Well if Chael held him down for 4.5 rounds, then yeah Khamzat could probably do the same.

So it comes down to whether we believe Khamzat would get caught in a hail Mary triangle at the end.

This. The only person I see that could do something to Khamzat while being on the ground would be Jacare.

nah never cared for him from day 1. and roids on top of that? lol

picked rich to whoop that ass too but i was wrong about that

knew weidman would whoop that ass tho

 

[Ibm]

Anderson, Lyoto, Sonnen would have won.

 

[HatKick]

Not a crazy opinion at all. But would be interesting to him vs Romero, Weidman, Rockhold, Jacare and Maia.

 

[Asahi]

Haha, nope. If you can't finish a gassed out fighter after hanging on his back for five rounds your definitely going to get into problems against more grappling oriented bjj specialists.

 

[AtlSteel]

DDP had zero take down defense. Zero. It was a joke. Can't draw GOAT conclusions from that fight.

 

[xentreos]

Well if Chael held him down for 4.5 rounds, then yeah Khamzat could probably do the same.

I mean to be fair DDP had his arm across his neck in the last minute of that fight.

If Anderson had the last minute of that fight that DDP had, you dont think he could capitalize? I could easily see prime silva doing something crazy.


I know it's easy to see the style match ups and be like SILVA PEOBABLY LOSES, but I can't count silva out of any fight in the history of fighting, he was that fuckin good.

 

[JKS]

Any MW?? He would be a pretty tough match up for Izzy and Anderson. But guys like Romero, Jacare, Weidman and Rockhold would be very tough fights for Khamzat, I would favor them to beat him.

Yeah I knew Weidman at 29 would beat a 38 year old as well. The only people who didn’t see this were casuals.

uh huh uh huh uh huh

how convenient how android silva at 29 was not in his prime yet when he was getting destroyed by not one but two japanese journeymen in pride lol

funny how that works but android silva fans aren't most rational ones. not then not now

 

[Poirierfan]

He beats Anderson Silva, Israel Adesanya, etc. DDP was arguably the toughest matchup he could have on paper and he beat him easier than just about anyone else he's faced and he did it for 5 rounds without gassing.

He needs to build his resumé to become a GOAT, but he is the best Middleweight I've ever seen by far. MW Khabib.

No

 

[Intermission]

He beats Anderson Silva, Israel Adesanya, etc.

Does he beat a prime dan hendersson?

 

[gosuasus]

Bustamante from the Lindland fight destroys him. Prime Hendo who grappled Frank Shamrock in 1997 and probably TRT Vitor, too.

 

[GoWokeGoBroke]

lol sloooooooo yoooo roooolll playboy

Let’s give it another couple years if he’s even still around

 

[Vehap1]

Yoel Romero would've been an interesting one. I know his olympic gold medal wrestling hasnt translated or been used nearly as effectively has Khamzat, but I'd have like to see that.

I also think prime Maia would be able to contend with him grappling wise but he'd get sparked on the feet first

Maybe Jacare

Maia would lose badly in striking

Romero certainly would be able to stop the takedowns, but would lose in striking as well

Interesting matchups tho indeed

 

[BoTyson]

Steroid Weidman might have knocked him out or subbed him, he was solid and good everywhere.

 

[Hdfi]

Let's see if he defends the MW belt 10x in a row.
