He didn’t beat the 2nd ranked welterweight in the entire world impressively enough to be considered elite

yeah, he's elite. being elite doesn't mean you'll ever be a champion, much less a double champ. i know that usman was laughing his ass off watching that fight, and i don't think colby is that worried now either.
 
I understand that the hype was unbearable and I'm not a fan myself, but no heart? I'm watching the fight and the first time he got hurt bad in round 2 his answers were to hit him back with his own attacks. That went on for the rest of the fight. He got dropped and hurt bad at the end of round 2 and when round 3 started he immediately started strong, hurting Burns and almost finishing him. That's heart.

Keyboard warriors.

Some fans were extremely unfair and unreasonable to think Khamzat was simply going to breeze through top fighters with a highlight real knock out in the first round every fight. He definitely showed he belongs at the top of the division. He won an extremely tough fight. A lot of fighters would have lost a grueling fight like that.

that's not unfair at all. those huge expectations are what got him a match with the 2nd best welterweight in the first place. the fact is he can barely keep his head above water at this level, and i think it's naive to assume he will continue evolving when it's just as likely that he's shown us his limit.

he had people chanting his name desperate to see him win, and then they booed him when he won. he was overhyped and everyone saw it. like i said, if this is your FOTY it will have been a very bad year.

It is hard to say how Khamzat will fight moving forward. He fought Burns like he was going to walk through him in a few minutes and it almost cost him the fight. He will probably have a different mentality going into his next fight and prepare much differently. It will be interesting to see how he looks against his next opponent.

So weird to hate on a guy so much just for having fans/hype around him. The dude is entertaining as fuck, extremely skilled, and just passed a huge test beating a killer in Burns. Whats there to not like?
 
He made typical mistakes of inexperienced fighters. Chased a knock out and and abandoned composure after getting hurt. He managed to recenter which shows a lot.

ask those thousands of people, who were chanting his name the entire card before the fight, who then booed the fuck out of him when he won.

Some MMA fans are so fickle. Dude beats 3rd best fighter in the division in his 5th fight and that wasn't good enough. I think his performance was effected by anxiety. Big crowd, people's main event, big jump in competition and he still got the W

So what happens when he fights in the main even? And or for a title?. Dude had a adrenaline dump in a undercard fight.

Im asking you. Does it really bother you THAT much that he has fans? Because in the cage hes an exciting, super skilled fighter with a shit load of potential
 
Not a Khamzat fan or anything, but come on lol. If winning a razor close decision against Burns makes you suck, then everyone in the division sucks except for Usman and maybe Covington. Get out of here.

i didnt say he sucked.

...but he does suck compared to usman. <45>
 
Khamzat went right away for the TD on a man much shorter than him and with substantial reach disadvantage, but Burns made him very scared and he had no choice but to stand and bang. Certainly you guys will try and disprove me but we all saw how he dove right away and thanks to Burns it turned out into a slugfest but none of you deniers would dare to admit it, instead you will make excuses for Khamzat! War Burns and war Khamzat for being scared of the grappling. Do you agree now?

Well, I have always assumed that the majority of the physical audience are casual casuals. You know, drunk bro-groups in town for the weekend, monster truck fans and bullshido dads and their obese sons. Now when I think about they are the non orthodox, shallow believers of the Just Bleed God, as opposed to us; the JBG inquisition, experts on the lore and scripture.

...he doesnt though. Most MMA fans enjoyed the hell out of that fight and had alot of questions answered. Hes not a perfect fighter but he showed that hes as legit as they come.

Then theres the posters like you on sherdog still grasping for ANY reason to talk shit.
