***Khamzat vs Burns MEGATHREAD***

[Viking Power]

Almost like they’re two different guys

 

[BoxingFan653]

why do people keep comparing them

racism my man

 

[Goosemen]

Probably because someone didn't have guts to move up to his original weight class nor fight someone like Burns, world BJJ champion with punching power.

Khamzat is a size bully MW and he could barely beat ex LW Burns.

Let that sink in.

khamzat did more damage in that fight than khabib did in all his fights.

Sure he did.

 

[AdamWarlock]

honestly think current khabib has a chance of beating khamzat

Gilbert Burns would knock out Khabib in WW.

lol not happening

 

[brakkkop]

khabib is the elite, the goat, khamzat is very good not elite yet, khabib's pressure and dominance was insane.

 

[FrankDux]

Burns would absolutely maul Khabib.

 

[PulsingJones]

Also fought a better grappler than anybody Khabib ever fought in his entire career

Prime RDA was just as good in grappling, and went to become champ and not a failed LW like Burns

Levels to this

 

[bbandito925]

Liked the fight, but Khamzat getting his shit pushed in by Usman

idk, khamzat has a granite chin and usman's biggest strengths are raw power and wrestling.

khamzat might be stronger (MIGHT)
khamzat might have better wrestling (MIGHT)

i honestly don't know who would win that fight.


Usman struggled with Burns just as much as Khamzat did.
Also, in the grappling exchanges, Burns didn't do nearly as well as people thought he would.

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

The guy who KO'ed by Dan Hooker?

lol

Khamzat is a giant compared to Khabib and Khabib would still whoop him.

Islam probably will if he moves up to WW, he's a big LW. Definitely better than Khamzat.

Islam or Khabib have no ways to victory against Khamzat. At all.

 

[Zvengeance]

It looked like khamzat was not following the gameplan, which contributed to taking damage. I think he could have coasted to a tko if he mixed in his take downs. Gave a good fight to the fans though.

 

[Deezer]

I seem to remember Khabib handling prime RDA, a high level BJJ fighter, with ease. He also never got rocked by Conor, Justin, MJ, or Dustin.

But I do agree this was a huge jump for Khamzat and I think the UFC learned a lesson by pushing yet another prospect too quickly. A side benefit of the UFC not pushing Khabib was that he gained experience and honed his skills before he fought the best.

Khabib also had ,had double the amounts of fights when he fought RDA and Burns is far more dangerous than RDA on the ground. It's just an unfair comparison at this point. Comparing him with Khabib at all is.

 

[Deadwing88]

Burns would absolutely maul Khabib.

Not at LW..

The weight cut reduces him to a journeyman who got starched by Dan Hooker.

 

[Bob Sapp]

Khamzat should've slowly went up the ranks like Khabib. I think he jumped to top guys way too soon. He beat Gilbert but he was a little exposed. He needs to fight more patiently thats for damn sure

 

[chinarice]

Tibau lost every round against Khabib. You have question ?

He won every round.... lol

 

[JAL]

Burns would absolutely maul Khabib.

Burns was KOed stiff when he was fighting in khabib weightclass had to move up to fight easy competition

 

[RedfernNow]

I would have liked a split decision to Khamzat to give top Hespect to Burns' who is a warrior
The Aljo split was perfect because it was a toss up

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

The guy who KO'ed by Dan Hooker?

lol

Khamzat is a giant compared to Khabib and Khabib would still whoop him.

Islam probably will if he moves up to WW, he's a big LW. Definitely better than Khamzat.

The guy who got KOd by Adriano Martins? Lol

 

[Adamant]

What was Khamzat's corner screaming at him? Does he take the #2 spot since he beat Burns?

 

[Morning Star]

Khamzat is a size bully MW and he could barely beat Burns.

Let that sink in.

How many times did Khamzat miss weight and how many times did Khabib?

 

[Bubzeh]

So tiring seeing Khabib’s name in every Khamzat thread lmao.
