Media UFC posts 1h video with every Chimaev fight so far!

[Unheralded Truth]

Non-stop entertainment from "Crash Bandicoot" as Michael Venom Page recently labelled him:



I struggle to remember a more dominant debut, Jon Anik concludes at the end of round 1 that Khamzat is leading with 10-8. But in fact, one of the judges scored it 10-7(!)

A second fight that's just as crazy, the same kind of dominance from the very first moment - but this time down at 170 lbs

Then back up to middleweight for a brutal one punch KO just 15 seconds in...

Down to 170 again, talking to Dana and the UFC management while carrying around Li Jingliang. Then putting the guy to sleep without taking anything back.

Huge step-up in competition, due to him being too good against Li. Takes on the recent title challenger Gilbert Burns, shocking him in round 1.
Then back-and-forth action for what probably should have been FOTY over Glover vs Jiri. At least it's the fight people are talking about more.

Absolutely toying with Kevin Holland in a catchweight fight! A year later Holland KO'd Ponzinibbio, submitted Chiesa and went "toe to toe" with Della Maddalena in a split dec.
Underrated performance imo.

His first fight against somebody who has reached the top. Some are advocating for a 10-8 round in the first. I'm not sure, but at least he won it clearly and had Usman in really bad spots.
Obviously not a good second round at all, but he had an injured hand and was smart to save it for the last round, where he fought through the pain. Good fight!

His second fight against somebody who has reached the top. Total control from the first second, and unlike Usman his opponent here in Whittaker couldn't handle it. Another brutal finish.

Every single Khamzat fight has something crazy and exciting in it

Picking up The Leech and carrying him over to Dana and talking to him is probably my favourite

Hamzat did not look good versus Burns. Dropped twice in the 2nd and hurt 3 more times to a total of 5 in that round.
And a bit stunned in the 3rd once again. Maybe it was the weight cut, maybe his chin isn't that great and hiding under that neckbeard.
He did not check one lowkick and fights very front foot heavy.
Also didn't show a takedown as counter to kicks.
Also very susceptible to the body.

I thought Dricus kicking game would be problem versus a wrestler. But maybe not.

Will check the Usman fight later. Didn't look great there either versus an old short notice WW

That was years ago who cares

Khamzat vs Usman
First round Khamzat backpacks him and easily wins the round.
2nd Usman edges it out by landing better and more strikes.
3rd round: Khamzat wins the round under old rules by landing a takedown and doing nothing with it. Usman landing the better strikes.
Very close fight.

Chimaev was lucky that Usman didn't push the pace in round 2, because it was short notice cardio. Otherwise Usman would've won and definately a 5 rounder.
Khamzat still doesn't check leg kicks, but switches stance after Usman lands them.

Whitaker had missing teeth and an injury beforehand that forced him to tap after 1 second of pressure.
Pretty careless to take that fight.

Chimaev certainly improved since his last fights, but so did Dricus.


Oh btw Chimaev kneed and punched Burns in the nuts and punched him well after the bell.
He is dirty.
