Khamzat Vs prime Rockhold would've actually been an interesting matchup. He gets memed on a lot, probably because he's a bit of a dick, but when he was on he was an absolute killer.
Dude had brutal top game and a submission threat, probably some of the hardest kicks in the sport, and was really tall.
I remember when coach Javier said that old Rockhold is the only guy to almost submit Khabib, and it was so close the whole gym couldn’t believe it.
I think he'd give Chimaev a run for his money.

How do you feel about this fight?
 
Chimaev is better, I think. Luke was great on the ground but wasn't as good as Chimaev currently is, and Luke's chin is disastrously poor.
 
First round sub for chimaev
And that would launch Rockholds career on a nother path, he' d be propbly without those devastating ko losses
 
Brah Rockhold got blitz´ed by TRT-Vitor imagine a Chimaev blitz.

A Chimaev Blitz is a TRTvitor Blitz on Steriods

In grappling? it would be fun, in striking? lol Luke gets knocked out.
 
Rockhold takedowns are shit and despite he being a good grappler he is not in the same level as Chimaev, also with that glass jaw of him it will be a matter of time before Khamzat crack him with his bombs.
 
I don't see Chimaev submitting luke, maybe he could knock luke out early? but I doubt it. That wasn't that easy against prime luke, and Khamzat, while capable of knocking people out, isn't exactly a knockout artist.

It all depends on whether or not Khamzat's cardio is as bad as people thnk it is.
 
His main weapon (kicks) would be hindered because of the relentless takedowns. His only chance would be to outgrapple Chimaev starting from the bottom. Not happening.
 
Chimaev couldn't even KO a former LW
Yes just like Anderson like got subbed by a no name Bantamweight Khamzat atleast won. coz so far Khamzat has tore through every single "properr" MW he has faced. Also WW burns would have a kidney failure trying to to LW again bro bulked up a lot as by your stupid logic Heavyweight DC nearly lost to a welterweight Rumble who cares what they weighted at the cage
 
Luke got a glass jaw . He is also very hittable. Maybe peak Rocksalt has a chsnce but Khaz a big favorite.
 
I don't recall Luke having the takedown defense or bottom game to really handle Chimaev's style. Now if he could manage to get to the ground and land on top...
