Media Khamzat Chimaev looking very sharp on the pads

[Poirierfan]

I think he should fight someone like Vettori .. strong... well rounded... a real test for pretty much anyone in the MW division

That's a great opponent, either guy could win that imo. Personally, my pic would be Vettori to take him into the later rds and drown him.

It's a close fight I think in 3 round Chimaev wins 2... in 5.... Vettori wins 3.... both guys I think are too tough to be finished

What's stopping him from doing that? He probably doesn't really want a fight like this. But it would be interesting to watch.

Everyone is a champion on them pads

I voted yes. But let’s be honest all champs will suck him through the year

Why do you guys want a jobber fight in between?

Please rewatch vettori vs holland and then holland vs khamzat to get an idea on the level of skill set disparity.

Khamzat likely suplexes him into the nose bleed seats

 

[kalabula]

Idgaf what he does outside the octagon but seems like he is not dangerous once fights go past R1 and I don't think he has five round cardio to compete with someone like DDP. I think DDP via smesh

Ya. It’s crazy how far his stock has fallen from his first several fights in the ufc. That being said, he did beat Burns and Usman. That’s pretty impressive.

 

[ComeChooDaddy]

Give him a title shot

 

[Khaosan]

• hands hang at his chest
• jams his punches
• doesnt step off the center line on the lowkick, begging to be punched in the face

If UFC gives him a big fight Sherdog will bitch he doesn't deserve it.
If UFC refuses to give him a big fight Sherdog will bitch that he hasn't beaten anyone.
If UFC gives him a big fight and he wins Sherdog will bitch that it didn't count and that his opponent was a LW (if #2 ranked WW) or 80 years old without knees (if #1 ranked WW)

Sick of this game already. Give him a title shot already

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Also, who should be next for Khamzat?

The Killa Gorilla

 

[IvanDrago2.0]

He’s an over rated hype job. Burns and Usman exposed him. Khamzat gets finished at mw by any top 5

 

[swarrrm]

His next tweet is gonna be a banger

 

[Bojka]

Looks like Paddy with better combos.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Come on man you think Holland today would lose to Nate Diaz?

What does that have to do with anything...and you just never know when a Diaz is fighting whats going to happen... Holland isnt some world beater. .

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Good to see him work on his striking. He definitely needs to improve that aspect after getting outstruck by Usman.

 

[Snoowpy]

No extension on his punches.

 

[ChimRichalds]

Sup sir.

I think Marvin Vettori would be the perfect test tbf.

Not a whole lot, outside of being heartbroken over the clusterfuck of a football game the Lions played last night lol. How goes it sir?

But I also would like Vettori as an opponent, assuming he gets past Allen, which I think he will.

I've been so much happier since I stopped watching other sports in 2004 lol.
Im doing ok I guess sir, thanks for asking.

Fighting Vettori would certainly answer some questions.

I don't usually do cross-comparisons. Because a fight with one opponent is not a fight with another opponent. But the difference in skills is noticeable, you're right.
