Media Khamzat Chimaev believes he would beat Jon Jones, Bones responds

[Ube]

It’s a dumbass question

 

[Luthien]

Maybe on twitter?

 

[storeybuckle]

There are weight divisions for a reason!

 

[GrantB13]

Man... This guy just needs to fight. How do you go from 3 fights in as quick as he debuted and now he's never in the cage? Such a waste considering the hype.

Khamzat could barely beat an aging Usman with shot knees at Middleweight
And he thinks he can beat the greatest light heavyweight ever at heavyweight?

 

[World eater]

I can beat them both “under the right circumstances”.

 

[Kryptt]

Much luv for Khamzat but no. Nothing serious here and ain't happening. MMA media are (generally) turds.

 

[Blastbeat]

shut the fuck up and FIGHT SOMEONE

stop calling for title shots when you havent even got the resume of someone who deserves one. last minute replacement Usman at middleweight does not get you a title shot.

cant stand these Twitter fighters. Khamzat's the biggest waste of hype i can think of.

One is a criminal and the other is a criminal.

50/50 fight I reckon.

TD's would be pretty much out for either man, though Bony might make a point to get at least one just to make him suck it. Bony would piece him up on teh feet just like he does everyone else imo.

 

[loisestrad]

Jones' reply was actually good: Don't let people ask you those questions.

I would still watch the fuck out of Jones vs Khamzat though.

 

[RemyR]

I mean to be fair to Khamzat it is a stupid ass question. He's no where near heavyweight. Asking him about fighting in weight classes he never will is dumb. And what the hell is he supposed to say? "No Jones is better everywhere he will win". No fighter with any shred of dignity will come out and say that.

That's just bad journalism

Well...at least it's not as bad as Ronda saying "under the right circumstances I could beat Cain." It's good to have confidence and even be somewhat delusional, you have to be in MMA, but he barely snuck past Gilbert at WW and Marty at MW. Going after a top GOAT candidate at HW seems like LSD.

It is. But then again, it was the kind of questions Ronda got all the time, only hers were sillier. Like "would you be able to beat Cain?"

She, like Khamzat, should have replied with a simple "get the fuck out, come up with a better question".

 

[mjfan23]

Stupid questions.

Jon jones is recovering from a gyno or pec or titty surgery and is a HW (champion no less). While, khamzat is a MW (who is yet to win a ufc belt or beat a ufc HW).

But yeah if they were to fight today: Khamzat would suplex jones injured ass to death.

I've never seen someone with so much momentum sabotoge themselves in such a way.

Everyone was fine with him getting a WW title shot after burns, then he has to go and fight a silly, unnecessary Nate diaz fight he blows weight in and sends his whole trajectory in another direction.

Maybe on twitter?

 

[Skarsgard]

Does Jones know the fight is happening beforehand or is he just getting jumped? Either way, I still favor Jon in this.

 

[BroRogan]

Khamzat is just annoying these days. The guy is a plonker!
