Media Khamzat contemplating retirement?

[Dana's Conscience]

Has Ramazan gotten word of this?

 

[Robbocop]

What are his health issues, is it legitimately from cutting too much weight?

 

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

If he does, this reminds me of Zabit

Two great fighters plagued by illnesses, very big what ifs

You're right. 2 grossly overrated fighters with embarrassing cardio for professional athletes who people inexplicably liked because they had funny beards and crushed cans who both suddenly retired as soon as their level of competition started to go up and their mystique was in jeopardy of being exposed. Sounds about right

 

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

Khamzat's mistake was overtraining like a madman while the virus was still in his system. He gave himself perpetual long covid because keeping up appearances was more important to him than resting and recovering from a virus we knew fuck all about at the time.

LOL and your proof for this wild speculation is?? Who are you, Dave Meltzer??

2 grossly overrated fighters that never lost in the UFC....and both were close to getting title fights. Step away from the keyboard for a bit.

 

[dre quinn]

I hope not. Like him or hate him, you cannot deny that he is one of the most entertaining fighters with the most hype around his fights

For one round yes

 

[Gamboal]

It would be a loss but we have Shavkat now, who is everything Khamzat is but better.

 

[ultra321]

nah.... something is off.....
lost in translation maybe?

How do you know it's COVID he's got that made him pull out?

 

[PeterGriffin]

Shit or get off the pot.

If he's not going to fight, he can go be irrelevant somewhere else.

 

[VinceArch]

I think he'd run through most at 170 and get the belt fairly easily. If he does retire it would really suck but if you don't have good health, then you don't have much.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

All those physical attributes coupled with a crappy immune system


It clearly wasn’t meant to be


Shavkat is our only hope

 

[blunttruth]

He is just following his mentor and idol Kahbib. If he retires now he can compete with his idol as the pound for pound, undisputed, reigning, defending, most overrated UFC fighter of all time . His worshipers and followers can claim he was undefeated now, for eternity.

 

[cmw43]

6 cancelled fights? sounds like they bunched in fights where his opponent pulled out?

You're right, just 4 cancellations on account of Khamzat.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Probably for the best
He can never fight and is banned from entering a lot of countries
Not a good combo

 

[Hdfi]

I hope he will get well soon, one of the most exciting fighters and with so much potential.

 

[Neck&Neck]

I could of been champ too, if this cancer didn’t get me

 

[Tweak896]

Would be a shame if true. I know that he's debated this before, not to negotiate but because of his health issues. He's literally a fight from the title. I guess he's been a fight from the title since the Burns fight though.

 

[NoSmilez]

He might retire now. He made enough money from the dictator and he has other businesses going on.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Modern day Zabit.
