Usman got dropped against Burns too. Thats what happens when you fight against the top fighters

Khamzat was -720 favorite in this fight. That says it all about what we thought about him before the fight. He didn’t perform like a 7 to 1 favorite.
 
Usman’s fight IQ is only second to Volk, I still think he capitalises quite easily on Khamzat’s sloppiness.
 
Colby took down Usman in the rematch. Khamzat clinches him up and prolly judo trips him. Burns has a p4p top 5 guard in the ufc, Usman is done if he ends up on his back with more than a minute to go lol.

I think this was Khamzats hardest fight (I also think he lost).

Betting odds are driven by only by bets and not a abilities. Khamzat has not fought anyone of note before this fight, and then went straight to No.2 and beat him.
 
How'd he get exposed? He fought, and beat, the 2nd best WW in the UFC.

There are many who thought Burns won. It was a very close decision. Burns is third best, Colby is ranked #2.

Time is on Khamzat's side with his current age versus the age of Usman, but I think if they fought tomorrow with Khamzat all healed up and ready - Usman would win.
 
Leon would mince Chimaev judging on tonight's performence
 
I'm gonna love Sherdog those next weeks

Who was comparing Khabib to Khamzat?

You don't get to come in and start a comparison and then claim it's ridiculous. It's not the comparison that is ridiculous, it's you for essentially arguing with yourself...
 
Of course it's going to be outweighed by the dribblers.
 
I don’t think it’s that he’s not legit. I think it’s more people have been building him up as an unbeatable monster and he looked very human. People have been talking about him being double champ and walking through the top guys in under a round and that’s not what happened at all.
 
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

This. Khabib wasn't near as polished at his 11th fight as he was at the end of his career and how people remember him. Khamzat is still green and won against a top 3 guy. That's insane even if it wasn't as dominant as his other fights.
