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

[Chaotic Progressor]

Not bad but still kinda underwhelming for 300 headline.

But god not Edwards v Mohammed. That would be laughably bad.

 

[MigitAs]

This is the main-event thats supposed to blow us away? Lmao.

What do you expect from bald goof?

Cm punk is waiting for this event since his UFC debut

 

[Nabs]

Adesanya-Khamzat for #1 contender is the best bet IMO. Make it even for an interim belt. Tell the world that DDP is hurt. It's not like they haven't done it before.

Even without a belt on the line though, that fight is main event on PPV worthy.

The sources he has as the biggest journalist in MMA?

Seems like a false alarm

Ariel a retard

Khamzat Chimaev will NOT fight at UFC 300 during Ramadan

We spoke to UFC middleweight Khamzat Chimaev this evening about the rumors circulating about him and a Leon Edwards title fight at UFC 300 this April. Khamzat Chimaev: “I will not fight during Ramadan again. We wait for ...

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

Are you an idiot or just trolling? Belal and Khamzat both beat Burns.

The Usman win doesn't count because it was short notice for Usman and up a weight class where Usman was clearly smaller.

Belal also has wins over Brady, Luque, and Wonderboy. Why don't you look up where they were ranked at the time those fights took place and get back to me?

The last time Khamzat tried to fight at welterweight, against an unranked opponent mind you, he missed weight by like 8 pounds.

Imagine Belal headlining UFC 300 ROFL.

No one even remembers the guys name and he is an option for 300 headliner.

Usman was not smaller, shorter doesn’t mean smaller. Usman is a huge WW and walks around at 205. Khamzat has 2 top 5 wins while Belal has one and burns was on short notice so what’s your point

 

[MRT]

Belal should go fucking ballistic if the UFC passes him over for Khamzat.

Khamzat simply does not deserve it...full stop.

 

[Mammothman]

Imagine if Khamzat misses weight lol

 

[octagonation]

Mann this is gonna be a crazy ass fight. Leon will probably use alot of footwork to get out of harms way. Chimaev will be looking to chase down Leon but either way an absolute fuking lit fight.. Leon is one hell'va good ass fighter himself. I would say 60/40 in chimaev's favorite but that is a close margin and I expect the betting lines to be close with Chimaev being a small margin favourite

 

[DarthChen731]

Yes but refer to my other comment about how he's a lil bitch

Edit: Also check the coment under urs

 

[octagonation]

If Dana White pulls this fight off he is the best promoter of all times hands down.. The crowd in the arena will go nuts once this fight bell rings goes off.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Already see people on other social media platforms saying Leon is gonna get murdered don’t really think so, Khamzat moved up and got outstruck by a out of prime Welterweight Kamaru, he also went life and death with Gilbert, Leon is a slick striker and certainly better then Gilbert and Kamaru in striking

 

[IsNormal]

I think it might be entirely true that UFC are entertaining all these options.

My theory is they are not really all that concerned with getting a mega fight for UFC300 - what gets you pats on the back at UFC HQ is not landing a mega fight - it's making fighters agree at a cheap price. (based on having read those leaked emails)

There might be a huge possible fight in talks they don't necessarily wanna "waste it on 300 - everyone will watch that anyways" and save it for later. If they are demanding too much money.

 

[Megatronlee]

As per Ariel

Good main event

 

[Elvis.]

Ufc acts like it’s such a big time organization and they can’t even bribe the appropriate people to get one fucking guy temporarily into the US .

Also what a fiasco this will turn out to be if Khamzat couldn’t make ww

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

I mean at least this makes more sense than him getting a TS at 185 but he should be behind Belal and Shavkat. He no doubt would ragdoll Leon in the first rd, question is what happens if he can't finish him?
