Khamzat Chimaev vs Adesanya. Rate Chimaevs chances

[Gladiator24]

Israel Adesanya and Khamzat Chimaev are on a collision course.

How much of a realistic chance do you give khamzat given that he’s never faced anyone on the level of adesanya, and he looked human against burns.

Cumshot runs through him within 2

Depends on a lot of different factors.

Khamzat seems like a really tough match up for both Alex and Izzy to be honest.

 

[Chalky White]

It’s a very favorable stylistic matchup for Khamzat, I’d be very surprised if he didn’t win(Pereira would have been a much easier matchup than Izzy, too).

I’d never count out the greatest MW I’ve ever seen, though.

 

[Noraaq]

Easy W for the Wolf

 

[ElLunico]

Slim.. I don't think Khamzat can survive 5 rounds with that shitty cardio of his. Yeah he will probably get an early TD but by round 3 or 4 he won't be able to take Izzy down and he gets picked apart on the feet and KO'ed.

 

[Peruvian Necktie]

Post fight show they said he's next.
Surely he needs another MW win.

 

[White lightning 2]

Completely different fighter

 

[Zanmato]

I can't imagine him not getting takedown after takedown, 75%

 

[Reapzz]

50%

Izzy sure as fuck has a better shot at Khamzat than Pereira does.

Pereira would get taken down and subbed inside 120 seconds against Khamzat

 

[Athlas]

Cumshot runs through him within 2

That dude is hiding a glass chin. I saw Gilbert score 2 unscored knockdowns against him in their fight.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

should be kamzhat vs paulo costa for 185 title shot. kamzhat should not get to step ahead over everyone. thats the way to go. let izzy get some rest, costa/kamzhat, bam.

 

[SG123]

Khamzat wins 9/10 times

 

[ExitLUPin]

Izzy has very very good TDD. And he'll be the physically biggest opponent Khamzat has fought in UFC by a good margin too.

When grappling wasnt on the table against Burns a LW journeymen Khamzat had to go through hell to scrape a win.

He has no shot standing with Izzy.

I’m not disagreeing with you, I actually scored that for Gilbert. But… Gilbert has a very different skill set…. BUTTTTT… Khamzat will most likely run through him.

 

[Vigfree]

I think it's either Khamzat or Pereira.

 

[Chagaev]

Significantly lower than against Poatan.

 

[NoSmilez]

I don't know much about Khamzat as a middleweight but outside of the Burn's fight; he has been really good with his game plan in terms of going straight for the takedown. He probably had to stand with Burns anyways because of the ground threat.
