Whittaker sleeps him unless the Saudis pay him to take a dive
 
Khamzat dec


He's not stopping Rob, and Rob will def take the later rounds

But Khamzat will squeak by and people will say he's overhyped because he didn't destroy someone as tough as Bobby Knuckles in 13 seconds

He beat the top 2 WWs. Usman is the 2nd greatest WW of all time. Anyone who can beat either guy is championship level. Usman is also not smaller than khamzat, he’s like an inch shorter and is massive, walks around at over 200lbs. Usman also beat the recent former middleweight champ

Who tf cares that burns knocked him down in a sloppy slug fest. He still beat burns, only reason he didn’t dominate is because he was weary of burns ground game.

He did not beat the top 2 welterweights, Burns wasn't even the #1 contender when they fought.

Usman was coming of back to back losses and a horrific KO loss.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Khamzat fought 2 ranked opponents in his UFC career so far and barely beat both of them.

Rob via early tko? There couldn't be a less likely outcome.

Never said it was likely, but that's what I'm feeling. I think Khamzat might get overaggressive early and Whittaker is damn good at making guys pay for defensive mistakes.

There’s gotta be a reason for the rapid decline in activity from Chimaev. Maybe he was trying to rack up some money before and is being smarter…?

We will see. It’s a toss up for me as Robert usually performs at elite level almost every fight. If Chimaev has fallen off any, Robert can win.

Probably Chimaev if he’s mostly what he used to be.

the dude has a horrible immune system for someone his age. He's probably had 2 bouts of a killer strain of covid and possibly suffered some permanent damage.

Khamzat via sub, he'll make it look easy.

Style wise Whitakkler should beat Khamzat.. If Whitaker can stuff some takedowns and make Khamzat work and take it into the later rounds it's going to get ugly for Khamzat

Yeah, Khamzat didn't look like he was ready for championship rounds against Burns or Usman. The excuse in the Burns fight was that he was too big to cut to WW. But there was no excuse against Usman at 185. Khamzat had a full camp while Usman fought on like 1 week's notice...and still had better cardio.

I've got a feeling Chimaev gets it done, I'm just not sure how. I'll lean towards 3rd round sub.

I'm still impressed by the Usman and Burns wins and I'm not sure why everyone has done a 180 on Khamzat just because he had the audacity to not steamroll those guys.

Usman was short notice, Burns he went life and death with a lightweight.
 
Hoping for Khamzat. I'm not ready for the hype to end. Plus, he needs to get his damn title shot. It's LOOOOONG overdue.

He got knocked down by a grossly undersized Burns and completely shut down in grappling. A controversial split decision where you got seriously hurt isn't reasonable described as "not steamrolling."

Usman got off the couch, flew across the globe with zero preparation and went to a nearby decision. Aside from getting back packed for a round, it was a competitive fight and Khamzat again looked like a 1 round fighter. This is the same Usman coming off two losses and a really bad KO.

Now we're talking about Khamzat fighting an actual middleweight who had a fight camp. There is nothing I've seen from Khamzat that makes me think fighting a ranked opponent his own size will help his abysmal cardio or poor striking defense.

Whittaker is past his prime but a huge step up in competition for Khamzat. No doubt Khamzat is an incredible talent but he looks like a solidly top 10 fighter against ranked opponents so far, not a world beater.

Bro why you out here trying to spread lies to make a point and conveniently omit shit?

Khamzat won a unanimous decision and only like 1 retard in the media thought burns won.

Khamzat rocked Burns in the 1st and 3rd, dropping him in the 1st as well. Burns has been called a WW for every other WW fight. Funny I don't hear you downplaying Usman for that win


For usman, khamzat was set to fight a guy who stands and throws hands and kicks then had to fight a completely different fighter. Usman not training and just sitting on his couch is some hilarious bullshit.

His abysmal cardio yet won the final round of both fights that went the distance

Just parroting all the dumb, ignorant comments of people who just out themselves as casuals

Watching the excuses fly after Khamzat wins is always hilarious. Droves of delusional haters always trying find ways to cope. Some literally will just make up lies because that is how much Khamzat ruins their day.
 
I hope Whittaker wins, but I do worry it'll just look like he's in a washing machine for the first round

I don't care who they book with Khamzat, I don't expect everything to come together until they are in the ring. He's had a bad string of luck of opponents leaving last minute.

The only reason Khamzat hasn't fought is because he was ducking everybody and trying to fight 155ers at 185.

I'm pretty sure Dana sat him down and said "listen, either make 170 and fight there, or go to 185 and fight a real 185er. Put up or shut the fuck up."
