News Khamzat Chimaev shuts down UFC 300 rumors - ‘Not fighting in Ramadan anymore’

[MMA_AZ]

All the rumored fights are just regular main event matchups. Nothing special at all.

While I'm skeptical, Khamzat is young without a ton of miles on his body. If his conditioning and fight IQ are on point, he does have the tools to get the job done.

Regarding precedent, Islam didn't have to beat anyone in the top 5 (top ten even?) to "earn" shot in which he made Oliveira look like a rookie.

Leon by split decision

Khamzat deserves it over Belal. Belal hasn’t beaten a single top 5 opponent. Khamzat has beaten Usman and Burns

 

[Pharenheit]

It’s weasel Ariel. He’s likely just throwing fights out there so it kills the shock value to fights they might’ve actually planned

Khamzat has 2 top 5 wins so why would he Belal be ahead

 

[fortheo]

Chimaev headlining one of the biggest cards in UFC history feels unearned, but I'd watch it.

The Usman one doesn't count because it was up a weight class on short notice, and also because the judges robbed Usman of the draw he deserved for winning R2 and R3

For the record I do think its a fitting main event for this event. Just seems behind many locked doors before we get there.

 

[CobraCobretti]

He belongs to inner circle of a fucking war criminal. Not going to get a visa.

 

[kingmob6]

this is pretty much all the same theories sherdoggers were coming up, he just looked at tweets and made his own guesses

 

[Herwald]

Awesome fight.

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Since when is Ariel not a reliable source lol

Ariel. Reliable. LOL

 

[Enigma87]

Wonder why Pereira isn’t one of the guys being targeted? Much better than DDP who had his eye busted open a month ago

I don't think ddp and izzy is regular with the beef they have

 

[The Siege]

The UFC is playing with fire if they are really trying to book Borz at WW. Imagine if Khamzat is ineligible to win the belt because of a weight miss and then beats Leon.

If they want Khamzat, book him vs a MW for a non-title event, bump up Gaethje vs Max to main and call it a card.

Or maybe they should have moved Sugar Sean to UFC 300, he is a star in the making and would have made an excellent main card fight.

Stop making excuses, short notice doesn’t matter, did Usman forget how to wrestle? Draw how? Please tell me one significant moment Usman had in the entire 3 rounds. Usman was ragdolled and almost choked out in the first then got ragdolled in the 3rd. Khamzat took the 2nd rd off and Usman still couldn’t do anything. Usman was dominated on the ground

 

[Failwani]

Leon x Khamzat is the best fight of the four possibilities, but no one involved should be feeling confident that Khamzat can make welterweight in 2 months.

 

[Soggust]

Maybe he should actually beat a top 5 fighter.

Khamzat has 2 top 5 wins so why would he Belal be ahead

Because Belal has 4 top 5 wins lol wtf you talking about

edit - 3 im sry im retarded too

 

[Neck&Neck]
