***Khamzat vs Burns MEGATHREAD***

[rosseposse]

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

 

[Cheatr Pan]

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

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

Gilbert Burns would knock out Khabib in WW.

Gilbert Burns would knock out Khabib in WW.

nah, he would never even get a chance at a bomb, khabib would wipe the floor with his body

 

[soulsstealer]

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

 

[JAL]

Gilbert Burns would knock out Khabib in WW.

he'd be tapping before he thinks about knocking khabib out

 

[JustOnce]

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.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Nurmagedovs 57 fights two top 2 wins. Khamzat 11 fights one top 2 win already.

Levels bro

 

[misfit111]

It's not Khabib's fault that world class BJJ guys including Burns never made it to LW title contention during his UFC career.

 

[Goosemen]

Gilbert Burns would knock out Khabib in WW.

The guy who got 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.

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

There was no grappling. Burns beat up Khamzat with his mediocre striking.

At LW, Gilbert is a journeyman.

 

[dracul]

why do people keep comparing them

 

[Abundance]

Khabib never emptied his gas tank trying to finish and got in a war. They have different styles.

 

[Coconutwater]

I began to truly appreciate Khabib’s greatness during the moments when Burns was piecing up Khamzat. Khamzat got cut, dropped, and was in real trouble at times in this fight. Something which never happened to Khabib. Even in the controversial Tibau fight, he never got beat up as badly as Khamzat did.

Perhaps because Khabib never faced someone who has extreme punching power, reasonable takedown defense, and world-class submission.

You are delusional if you think Khabib is tapping Burns lol.

Tibau lost every round against Khabib. You have question ?

 

[BornFighter]

By the end of Round 1, it seemed like Khamzat was gassed. From Round 2 onward, it seemed like Khamzat's punches lost their knockout power, and it seemed like Khamzat was being knocked off balance by every power punch to the head that Burns threw.

In Rounds 2 and 3, it seemed like Burns retained a lot more power in his punches than Khamzat. Even though it seemed like Khamzat tried to press the action more, I think Burns did more damage in both of those rounds.

I scored the fight 29-28 in favor of Burns.

Prime RDA is a way better grappler than Burns
