Rumored Strong rumor Chimaev is out

[188912345]

To be fair, Dricus responding to it doesn't mean much.

Bullshits, he didn't have covid once but since he (or his managment) cannot even lie properly they had to make their bs bigger: he claimed to cought blood which'd have been the only case in the world.

IDK why he pulls out so often but the reason is still officially unknow.

He had covid and continued to train.
He didn't take enough time off to recover and got sick again and again.

He definitely coughed blood, he even posted it on Instagram.

It's well publicized that he considered retiring due to the health issues he had after covid.

Dana flew him to USA for treatment, then he had treatment in Russia.

When he pulled out before the first Whittaker, he was hospitalized yet again.

Before their fight in October, he was open about his body breaking down during camps due to inadequate recovery, etc, and had no issues in the months leading up to that fight.

It's not like he has been pulling out for nonsense reasons like a broken toe a la Conor.

It's also really odd to me how angry people seem to be at him for having health issues, it's probably not intentional.

Yeah there's no way Khamzat caught that disease that was affecting millions throughout the whole world, and there's absolutely no chance he would experience health complications as a result even if he did. That's just unheard of!

He only pulled out twice with some serious health conditions and that is the same amount of pull outs as DDP but due to Khamzat being a superstar his pull outs have been unfairly scrutinized and overly sensationalized..

He is no Paulo Costa who pulled out 6 times on record and you would think he pulled out 8 times but in truth it´s only 2 times same amount as Dricus

You gotta be fucking kidding me, what a clown show. Fans really wanted 3 fights this year and we could be 0/3.
Jones/Aspinall
DDP/Khamzat
Topuria/Islam

This is fake news... DDP-Chimaev is happening..

honestly never cared for the 2 other fights

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I am very disheartened over the sheer number of us who blindly believe anything we see and hear, despite the source being some rando unheard of Twitter page which got the hits it was obviously seeking. Embarrassing

Even if this current rumour is false, there’s still a pretty good chance that Chimaev pulls out. Don’t get your hopes up and instead be pleasantly surprised if the fight does actually happen.

 

[JustBleed69]

If it is true then I just don't give a fuck about him anymore & everyone should move on.

 

[burningspear]

ddp - im only fighting khamzat? lol your audience wants a title fight, doofus

Scamzat pulled out twice against Edwards and once against Whittaker, so 3 times due illness (or covid).

All other times the bouts were rescheduled or cancelled for other reasons. Like it or not their pullout records are identical and they both had medical issues as reason.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Looks like that X account is using this Khamzat pullout lie as a way to get clicks for "Dirty Boxing 2" PPV. Keeps responding with promotion for that in the comments.

Damn Platinum Mike behind the rumour
That sly bastard

Why you lying mann?

UFC 294: Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2· Costa Elbow Infection withdraws from the Chimaev fight

UFC Fight Night· Costa Withdrew vs cannonier

UFC Fight Night· Costa withdraws with Illness vs whittaker

UFC Fight Night 128· Costa Biceps Injury withdraws from fight against Uriah Hall

UFC 277: Peña vs. Nunes 2· Bout Rescheduled vs Rockhold (Costa wanted bout to be rebooked so he could make weight)

now lets see Chimaev and I wanna highlight that the 2 pull outs vs Leon is technically one pull out and it was the UFC´s fault rebooking that immediately assuming that both covid hit fighters will recover in time but one didn´t and was out for 1 year from that point hence that is technically one pull out..

Costa has 4 plus another one where he asked to rebook it so he can make weight hence that is technically 5 in total

The Cannonier fight was never on, he never signed it. That was just the UFC announcing fights that were never signed and it’s not a single occasion.

Lol, at technically one pullout against Leon, why are you lying? What about the weight miss against Nate? Why are you then not counting that?

Against nate was not a pull out tho.. missing weight happens
