Khamzat Chimaev - all talk

Didn't he turn it down because his coach told him to?

I believe so, but that's not him.
Coaches have different roles with different fighters.
I have no idea of their dynamic to be honest sir, so can't really have an informed opinion.

Pretty sure both Belal and Magny called him out but he remained quiet. The only guys who wanna fight him he doesn't wanna fight. I tend to agree. A lot of talk for very little accomplishments.

Bingo, but don't tell his nutriders because they believe he could run through every division's champion on the same night like Dagestan Superman!

This guy has been all over Sherdog and now he's all over Facebook, shooting his mouth. Sign to fight already. Sick of the hype. Fight a contender or shut the hell up.

He’s trying. He tried to fight Edwards (darn COVId) and now he’s trying to fight Burns.

What’s up your ass today?

Lmaoo the khamzat haters here are so mad there is another dominant Muslim Dagestani fighter who looks like a future champion.

Except he's not from Dagestan and he's not a devout Muslim. Most of his haters are Khabib fans since khamzat models himself after Conor and is the anti Khabib. Talks shit, exciting style, likes ring girls, listens to rap, etc

So weird to me how people here say Khamzat is all hype but guys like paddy pimples and sean o'malley get touted as being future champions

Sean had 3 fights in 2021. Khamzat had ONE. He's following the path of Khabib, fighting smaller guys once a year so he can look good. Now he's out there saying Usman wants to fight at MW because he's afraid of him. That's the point. Put up or shut up.

Chechnya and Dagestan border each other. Very similar in many ways.

I know what's up your ass, and I expect you to tongue it off when he's done.
 
I wish all these wusses would just man up and sign the contract to fight Khamzat already! The entire top10 ducking Khamzat right now! They haven't even signed the contract to fight him!

I wish they would all stop talking and fight already..................
 
Well he wanted to fight immediately after he finished the leech. First they wanted to put him against Diaz to build his name. When Diaz declined he wanted to replace Masvidal against Edwards. Unfortunately Edwards also declined. Although Belal and Magny wanted to fight Khamzat and he was also willing to fight them, it seems that the UFC wasn’t interested in these matchups. Looks like they want to fasttrack him to a title shot by offering him a top 5 fighter. Burns is the only option left and hopefully they will announce this fight soon. I guess they’ll try to book this fight in March since Ramadan is in April and May is to soon after a whole month of fasting.

Agreed. The top guys are definitely terrified of no. 11 who's best win is that guy, what's he called again, Jingliang?

Magny has been calling him out for forever, and he's higher ranked. So why no fight?

Don't tell me everyone is "scared", because that's demonstrably untrue.

Memoryhole this response in 2023 when Khamzat is champ

Khamzat's one fight was against an opponent far better than anyone Sean has fought. Hell, the Meerschaert win is better than any of Seans. While there are still questions around Khamzat, he has shown some very real potential, whereas I think we've seen O'Malley's ceiling.
 
So let me get this right, an undefeated beaat of a man is all talk, but TS is a mega tough guy?

Not the fucking point. It's the entertainment industry and Sean is entertaining. Khamzat's got the gift of gab also, but he isn't fighting so it's wearing thin.

Khabib used Ramadan as an excuse for a weak schedule also.
