Media Khamzat Chimaev size compared to Jan Blachowicz

[Shaddows]

So, he is a special LHW that's able to cut to 170lbs while Jan is stuck fighting at 205lbs? Scales dont lie sherbro, Jan is 2 divisions above him for a reason.

This guy disagrees with your assessment

LW or HW being the 4th?

Khamzat would have to amputate a leg to make 155

 

[Herwald]

It's Jan while cutting weight next to Zat who's walking around his normal 200lbs. And Jan still looks thiccer.

That said, yeah, the difference isn't that great, but Zat's a MW. LHW is right there.

 

[r-harper-1]

I cannot wait for his overrated ass to get tuned up. His best win is against a guy ranked #13 in his division. Yet he's gonna beat the champ.....ok. Notice how a majority all his nuthugging fans are 2018 and newer accounts....do they even UFC or what?

Just because you can’t spot talent ….don’t shit on
The rest of us because we know what we’re looking at

Rumble says hold my Beer

Fair point, but at the same time, he missed weight a lot at 170, he probably made weight a few times too tho, considering Chimaev is actually able to make weight, he isnt in the same league as Rumble.

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

3, maybe 4 division champ brother

All I'm saying is let's see him beat a top 5....hell top 10 guy before we start annointing him king and kissing his feet. He hasn't beat shit yet.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Khamzat will be a 2 division champ easily, a 3rd belt at LHW might be a stretch

Nah it’s the HW belt that’s a stretch cmon man

hehehe give time.
in 12 fights at WW, Anthony missed weight only twice.
Curiously., he missed again exactly when he moved up to MW, then he left the UFC and came back as LHW (after fighting AA at HW).

Chimaev is young. It is easy to make weight then. As he grows, it becomes harder.
But until then, he may be able to remain at WW for a good amount of time without missing weight. It does not say, however that he is not big for the division.

Maybe that he is more "professional" than Rumble? But then again, it remains to be seen

He will though ….Big , skilled with a crazy work ethic…I get he’s a bit unproven ..I don’t need to see it to know it’s coming…..Usman and Burns are tough style matches imo…. I think he steamrolls everyone else ….line em up

 

[daniel san]

I think Khamzat getting the WW or MW belt is not impossible, may be likely once we’ve seen more of him, but right now the easiest belt would be no chin Glover.

 

[mmacanada]

Khamzat is massive grabbed leech and ragged dolled him walked over bear hugging him in the corner to talk to Dana nobody does this stuff

 

[alex21cms]

biggest weight bully out there along side costa they should fight each other

 

[Marko Polo]

HW, obviously.

After he wins his 4th belt he might have his leg surgically removed and then go for a fifth.

Both HW and LW are equally absurd ideas imo

 

[Prologue]

Quadruple champ

*chemp

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Sherbros still believe thar height equals size. Nate Diaz is taller than DC.

Chimaev is a big welter but would not be a massive middleweight as of now. It would take a few years of dat der celltech and lots of weight lifting to be considered a “big” middleweight.

All that said, he beats Izzy. He would push him to the limits grappling wise, just like Gsp, Hughes, Shael, Weidman and Sonnen would have had they met while they were young. Usman beats Chimaev, though.

 

[Safton]

Khamzat is an impressive prospect and a massive, strong Welterweight. I can certainly see championship potential in him. Even at 185 he didn't look particularly undersized. But going farther still to 205 is a big leap and the idea of him trying to implement his wrestling gameplan against someone like Teixeira, Ankalaev, Rakic, etc. is a tough sell for me based solely on what we've seen thus far. IMO he would have to rely heavily on seeing how his power translates, but we haven't seen him in a technical striking match against a much bigger guy just yet.

Outstriking your first four opponents 254-2 is also absurd, but here we are.
