Rumored Khamzat Chimaev tested positive for covid

[bigconan]

we must lock down the world to keep us all safe.
Think of someone’s granny or your own.
The world must stop.

I sense sarcasm....shutting down everything is the worst possible thing they could do right now. with all the people already out of work...all the businesses that have closed or about to close. closing will destroy the economy and could cause many to go homeless....have curfews, wear those stupid f''''king masks...but don't close anything down. especially my gym...haha

 

[Pakman]

oh please...that's a bunch of shit...99% survival rate...and people have died from taking aspirin....fact is, the only people having issues are really old or already sick people...the so called long term effects, have not been proven at all....it's all here say and anecdotal evidence....fact is, many athletes have already had and come back, without missing a beat...many fighters already have.

my uncle was a healthy neurosurgeon who got it in May and still has around roughly 50% lung capacity prior to getting it.

But yes, keep spewing that bro science and assuming you have the answers, that contradict reality/what experts say.

And if you don't trust the US based sources or Dr's, just use a VPN to log in from various countries around the world and check their sources.

Doctors all over the world know it's not an automatic death sentence for people, but, they still have really very little idea of how it works and why, hence why they tell everyone to exercise caution.

Going to drain him, easy win for Edwards.

Nah. It’ll just take him an extra round for the highlight reel KO.

 

[Dionysian]

the fight might have to be rescheduled a month or 2. I'm really looking forward to that fight too.

Yeah hope the turnaround isn't too long. What would be great is if they cancelled 12-19 and just transferred the 12-19 fights to 1-23 to make it a mega card. That'd be one of the best cards on paper ever, but I know they prefer quantity to quality when it comes to that stuff so I'm guessing they'll just push the 12-19 co-main to the main event slot instead. 12-19 being just a fight night card especially justifies them keeping it going even if the main event is taken off.

He's got 22 days to recover, even if it's true.

Then Conor would take the credit for the PPV. I wouldn't fight under Conor if i was a big name like Khamzat, so i could prove i was a draw

 

[Gambit MMA]

So is the fight off?

Yeah true. The only downside is that 12-19 is a fight night, not a PPV, so it wouldn't be a good way to assess Khamzat's ability to boost a card. THAT ideal assessment would come in the form of Khamzat headlining a title shot PPV after this, if he's able to get past Leon on 12-19.

 

[PunchKicker]

Who gives a fuck if he test positive or not? If he wants to fight, let him. This covid isn't jack shit to 99.97% of the population, let alone of future GOAT of MMA. Hell I bet Chimaev wanted to get covid so he could feel something that the commoners feel.

 

[Oeshon]

noone young and healthy is dying from this. its literally the flu.

just let them fucking fight

 

[johnnybeebob]

Nearly ever fighter that’s had it has been asymptomatic

he’s not some 50 year old obese forum poster he’s going to be completely fine

Ask Cody Garbs how he is doing

 

[Cooliox]

An excuse for what
You crazy,cooliox. He is the wolf,brother.

I admit I'm a bit skeptical.

I still need a bit more convincing

 

[Paulsp]

Ask Cody Garbs how he is doing

Oh wow 1 out of the 100+ fighters that got it is experience complications

hence why I made sure to include “nearly” and not all

good try though

also khamzat doesn’t even have it

rip Leon

I haven't read or heard anything about the fight being cancelled.

well, maybe in some people it takes a good while for them to recover...who knows. but nobody can say it's permanent...covid hasn't even been out a year yet.
