***Khamzat vs Burns MEGATHREAD***

[wisdom blows]

Round 1 khaz
Round 2 burns
Round 3 khaz

anyone else see it that way?

that’s a very clear score.

 

[old school 2]

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

Hooker beat Burns. In no world would Burns therefore beat/match/dominate the goat.

 

[Dirty Frank]

Like a guy who almost died cutting weight beating two former featherweights as his best career wins?

Definitely not. The middleweight was the one getting smeshed, D
At least Beebs did his part and smeshed

 

[Luckyme]

chimaev made the mistake of abandoning his wrestling. He basically brawled with Burns. When he went for takedowns, he got them. He has a lot of learning to do about ring generalship and controlling pace.

Yes, his fight IQ or lack thereof cost him. He was smart to not go into Burns guard but he decided to box with Burns when he was easily taking him down and landing GnP.

 

[CashMoney1991]

I had it Chimeav, he landed the harder shots in rounds 1 and 3 can we all agree its fight of the year so far?

 

[icerealm]

honestly think current khabib has a chance of beating khamzat



lol not happening

khabib definitely can outwrestled and submit burns, if khamzat cant even take burns down or dont want to, theres no way khamzat can win khabib, khabib still goat

 

[wisdom blows]

At some point people must swallow their pride and admit to letting the hype get the better of them.

Khamzat won like i expected, but it wasn't that once in a lifetime dominant 1 round performance like i think you been spewing for the past month. Judges had it 29-28 and i think i agree. It was competitive all the way through too.

Khamzat didn't look to be on Usmans level but that fight should def happen next.

Izzy didn't look to be on Whittakers level after Gastelum as well. People should remember that.

I thought Khamzat was more skilled but Burns composure and fight IQ showed and made Khamzat brawl with him. I think Khamzat could have easily wrestled him to a decision without taking damage, but he fought like Nate Diaz instead.

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

blah blah
Islam's mma grappling is better than burns. logic dictates that khamzat would have more trouble with islam on the ground, if he coudn't play with burns. not sure what your little shertard mind is thinking

Ah yes, Islam is more dangerous off his back than multi-time BJJ world champion. Astute observation.

He fought so reckless in round 2. He could have taken way less damage I think. He seemed to smarten up in round 3.

 

[AB234]

If Khabib fought the #2 guy for his 11th fight he would have lost and it's why he fought cans through 16+ fights Khamzat is in another level

Everyone knows you are racist against Khabib.

 

[jons333]

If khamzat gets a better gameplan he can easily beat Usman/Colby. He was coming forward for the whole fight and he still beat up burns. After the first takedown he didn't even threaten it for the rest of the fight.

Even if he comes in like today with this "I'm gona dominate my opponent" gameplan I can still see him winning.

I doubt Burns would submit Borz from his back. I was shocked that Khamzat just slugged it out with him. I think his ego got to him.

 

[aali14]

Khamzat would wipe the floor with WW versions of guys like Poirier, Conor and Gaethje, one dimensional strikers are easy for him and Khabib.

Burns would be a very difficult fight for Khabib, just as he was against Khamzat.

 

[thelovacluka]

1 khamzat
2. burns
3 burns

Didnt Burns land the heavier hands in rnd 3?

 

[BornFighter]

New UFC welterweight rankings?

Champion = Usman
#1 Contender = Covington
#2 Contender = Chimaev
#3 Contender = Burns

 

[mantis_fist]

It’s Ramadan. I’m sure he’s fasting. Does anyone know if he is or isn’t 4 sure?

It's already impressive how he did against high ranked guy but that would be something else.

 

[AB234]

He's only had 11fights lol. Khabib was fighting 1-6 cans at this point in his career. His cousin is fighting cans in Bellator , levels bro

Racist

 

[Dirty Frank]

Dude, you lost your chance at me ever taking you seriously again... Khamzat won. Go to bed and quit crying.

I shed tears for a brother with his head stuck headfirst into another dimension

 

[maximus__]

57-0 Goatmagomedovs stay winning

Khabib only fought 5 ranked fighters his whole career and arguably lost to Tibau.
That's Khamzat's 2nd ranked guy and he is only 11-0. Khabib was fighting guys with no Wiki at that point.

Don't worry, you can let us know when you get your head out of that dimension little guy. We're all rooting for you.
