Media Khazmat Looking Like a Damn UNIT

[Deleted member 504083]

He was able to dominate Burns without wrestling in round one. What changed? It's very evident he's not the same fighter after the first round, pretty bizarre you can't even acknowledge that.

The first round was far from domination outside of that one jab Khamzat dropped him with. And again, Khamzat wasn't using his wrestling/grappling against the world class BJJ outside of the first min or two in the 1st rd.

 

[Dana's Conscience]

He's been growing into the MW frame. The negative is that he needs to cut more weight again like down at WW.

He only fights in the Middle East. Weigh-ins are a formality there.

The photo is obviously shopped.

However, there are levels here.

Level 1: Mindless Khamzat stans celebrate his fake arms
Level 2: Mindless Khamzat haters complain about his fake personality
Level 3: Whittaker's camp believe Khamzat is bulking up and overestimate lactic acid buildup exaggerating his already poor gas-tank. But it was only a clever ploy; Whittaker gasses out trying to melt a secretly well-conditioned Khamzat
Level 4: Photoshop afficionados wait to find out if Whittaker knows the picture is shopped before betting the house on Khamzat

Agree!
But one thing we are yet to see is the magic scales of Saudi Arabia and the towel tricks what the towel heads are able to pull off.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

LOL @ the bad photoshop. Whatever they're giving him the walls are getting some as well.



Been debunked.

This guys fans so badly want to believe the long dead hype.

 

[Objectively Correct]

Can't take this guy seriously ever since he ducked Nate and got run out of the WW division.

a clownpost straight from the circus

Yikes, you're a little unhinged with your Islamophobia during this fight week. From Towel Heads to calling Islam ISISLam, you need to kinda get a grip with your hatred in the form of "jokes."

Never seen someone get so little credit for dominating a guy on the ground 1 fight removed from a ufc title before.

I think it's probably gonna continue for a while, even if he wins the belt.

Exactly, they act like Usman is a nobody and it shouldn't count because it's at MW and last minute. Not that Khamzat was training for a different type of opponent and beat a completely different style last minute. Even Usman was in same position with Masvidal and showed the difference between a specialized camp and taking a fight last minute.

 

[chinarice]

Certainly no Big Unit

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

Seven pages on a badly manipulated image. OP is at home telling his grandma "Granny, if you ever think you're being fooled on the internet just give me a call and I'll check it out..."

 

[Bagatur]

That is very photoshopped, or their walls are curved and shit.

of course it is. everything about Kham is fake.

 

[Billthebutcher]

Spend some money & fix that cleft lip

 

[ElLunico]

Clearly shooped lol

 

[RockyLockridge]

Fighting Usman on short notice is definitely a big reason for that.

Someone like Usman requires specific preparation and time.

A short notice fight against a grinder who puts the pace on you / makes you work for every inch is a gigantic switch up.

Costa isn't gonna make you work like that.


Personally, I think Usmans best chance was on that night. If Khazmat had an entire camp dedicated to him, it would've looked much more one sided.

Holy cope, make more excuses for the guy

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Khamzat beast

This is about as common sense as it can get.

Short notice fights affect both fighters.

If you prepare for a wrestler, all of a sudden, wrestler gets sick, you spent an entire camp preparing for a particular style of opponent, now you're fighting a striker.

And vice versa.

This isn't rocket science. Its a factor. Especially if we want to produce anything accurate when analyzing a fight.

Lots of fighters don't like short notice fights for that reason. It's can be a big risk. Lots of upsets tend to happen under such circumstances.

Boxers for example dont take short notice fights period, theres a lot more pressure to do so in mma.

Problem is, bias and dislike gets in the way of anything rational.

It's actually shocking having to explain it to people.

Keep telling yourself that.

Khamzat has NEVER displayed good cardio. Match up against Usman is not an excuse he won the first round 10-8 and was gassed the rest of the fight. You act like Usman sapped all his energy when all he did was the bare minimum that round.

I don't even dislike khamzat, at all. He has just never displayed good cardio even once and that is the most rational statement given in this exchange.

 

[AstralPanda]

The point is, that if were going to say anything definitive about a fighters cardio.

We would be fools to not consider a change of opponent on short notice to a grinder, who's biggest strength is his pace and making you work for every Inch.

That isn't an excuse. It's called good analysis.

And I'm smart enough not to throw the towel in without considering the variables.

I'm not even going to respond to this because it doesn't seem like you even read my post.

I very much did read your post. I responded to exactly what you said you can remain ignorant if you want. Continue to Cope and make more excuses for khamzat or atleast give an example of when he showed good cardio he's been to decision twice and both are debatable because he faded so fast.

 

[AstralPanda]

Then you have poor reading comprehension.

Nobody doubted that he gassed in that fight.

The point I made is that he had a short notice opponent change from a striker

To a wrestler, grinder who is known for his pace. Who will force you to work for everything and expend Infinitely more energy.

An opponent like that requires specific preparation.

If you know you're going to fight a grindy wrestler then you prepare accordingly. It's a different sort of work, investment into cardio, pacing specific to wrestling. It's an entirely different camp.

If we're going to bash a fighters cardio, then it's next level stupid to ignore such a glaring detail.
