Media Khamzat Ducks Luke Rockhold

[jx820]

Staying at 170 is probably a good idea for Chimaev and a Rockhold fight doesn't answer a lot of questions wit him being 1-2 since losing his belt. Does a Chimaev win mean he's that good or that Rockhold is washed up? Does a Rockhold win mean he's back, or just that he's still better than a rookie, with recent health issues.

I'd like to see Chimaev fight Chiessa or Luque. Rockhold vs Hermanson would be pretty good,

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Luke has been fighting nothing but top guys. His last loss was against the current LHW champ.

Who the fuck has Khamzat beaten to make you say he finishes Rockhold? A #30 ranked Gerald Meerschaert? <45>

Man, the Khamzat hype is real amongst casuals.

Rockhold has been brutally KO'd in 3 of his last 4 fights. His 5 career losses are all by KO. It's not crazy to think that someone with heavy hands can clean his clock.

Sounds like literally no one wants to fight Rockhold, which is surprising considering he’s clearly past his prime and has been away from the sport.

Yeah, so hes still a dangerous guy, but you get no credit for beating him.

 

[Dirge]

He probably did Rockhold a favour

Luke would have slaughtered him and it wouldn't even be close.

However, wouldn't do much for Luke's career. Khazmat doesn't even have a top 15 win yet.

Yall are gonna try meme Luke, but Luke smashes Khamzat. Too big and his ground game is elite. Id actually want to watch it, just to see Khamzat on his back. I wanna know if he's a complete grappler.

Saying that an ex-champ would beat a totally unproven prospect who's natural suited for a lower weight class isn't the flex that you think it is.

Maybe in 2015-17 area.

Today's Luke get's KO'd badly.

It's hilarious how people consider turning down a fight against a guy who is a giant for the weight class above you, and coming down from an even higher weight class, on a 2 fight losing streak, is ducking ... but Conor's career is actually considered impressive. So many noobs these days.

Missing the forest for the trees you goof.

Khamzat for months was saying he would fight anyone at anytime at 170 or 185. He said this many many times and in last fight competed at 185

Now he gets offered a big name on a silver platter at 185. Rockhold a former champ, big name and likely would have been a main or co main. AND yet khamzat turns it down lol what?

This is a duck, plain and simple

 

[Mesos]

Does Khamzat have a fight booked at 170? That's a blatant duck if not

He doesnt and there has been no rumors of an opponent

 

[Greta Thunberg]

He probably did Rockhold a favour

 

[Phisher]

LOL he beat scrubs. He’s the new Johnny Walker except Walker is willing to fight anyone.

LOL Walker beat much better competition than Khamzat did before he lost to Anderson.

Luke has lethal stand up. Yeah he’s prone to getting knocked out by some of the hardest hitters and highest ranked 185 and 205ers, but that’s not exactly a low measuring point

 

[legcramp]

The fact that people actually think Luke Rockhold would beat Khamzat in 2021 is crazy.

Rockholds last win was 2017 lol. He doesn’t put his hands up and he’s old and slow now. He would get KO’d bad, even by a WW like Khamzat.

Khamzat doesn't think he can beat Cuckhold.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Rockhold’s defense and chin are very bad but on a good night he could fuck Chimaev up pretty bad. He would fuck Usman up badly at 185 as well so no shame on that. Chimaev must stick to 170 and earn a title fight.

 

[JoeRowe]

How about Rockhold vs Vettori? Khamzat should fight Magny.

 

[slavomir]

Khamzat prolly looking for a tune up fight after bad covid.
That's not ducking, that's being smart you idiots.

You realize he has very bad effects from covid, no? He hasn't taken any fights, so what makes you so sure he's ducking here? Why not assume he's waiting until he's closer to 100% before taking a fight?

 

[Muppettoker]

I would have no problem with him turning it down IF, a big IF, he hadn’t talk all this shite before about doing the exact opposite of this. Fucking loser.

lost any respectability in my eyes

 

[morrisondafalln]

Smh imagine ducking such a chiny fighter.

 

[DoctorDeelon]

The COVID has made him soft.

 

[Sissy Boy]

That kick is going so fast you don't even have enough time to react to the teep/faint part of it!
