Media UPDATED - Video: Dricus looking big and powerful in training ahead of UFC 319

[188912345]

No, he says 180, then he says 180 exactly the same way in the video I posted earlier. You may want to get headphones and listen more closely. And I didn't say Chimaev looks taller, he looks bigger all over.

At this point you're surely just trolling, or just playing dumb due to stubbornness.

4:41-4:50, and there it is.

You're also ignoring the 203.2 lbs weigh-in in a grappling match a year before he fought Khamzat.

And then Khamzat's 198 lbs weigh-in with jeans and shoes on in November 2021 (3 weeks after fighting at WW), and him claiming 86kg (189 lbs) fight night weight vs Burns.

All things considered, it's a slamdunk case for Burns being within 5 lbs of Khamzat at fight night.

Here's Burns confirming he's about 180 on fight night



Here's Chimaev confirming he was about 190 on fight night vs Burns



Burns is obviously just a stockier guy, which means more of his weight is fat, whereas more of Chimaev's weight is muscle. So when Chimaev gets a 10lb advantage in the cage, and his weight ratio is more muscle than Burns, the advantage is ridiculous.

Poor Chimaev nuthuggers just can't cope with reality

*Posts video of Burns clearing stating he was too heavy at LW and cut too much weigh / stated as LW he was 180 fight night and it made him powerful in the 1st but caused him to gas in the 3rd*

*then uses it as evidence for how small he was at WW*

lol I think you're a secret sarcasm-fueled Khamzat fan since you're outrage-farming the 10-whole-pound-difference when they were competing a whole weight class apart (Gilbert was 180 as a LW vs Khamzat was 190 as a WW), which suggests they were pretty fucking identical when they're both at the same weight class (WW where they actually fought)

 

[Dorkman]

This is a fascinating match. 2 legit bulls with tons of skill going to meet in the middle.

 

[188912345]

He was already putting on weight for the Strickland rematch as he assumed he was going to be facing Khamzat instead of Sean again. DDP and his team have been gameplanning specifically for Khamzat for the last 8 months. Will be a barnburner.

If you had reviewed the different quotes and videos, and the video where Burns talked about fighting at 180-182 lbs at 155, you probably wouldn't be laughing.

They both had weigh-ins (with clothes on) for grappling and wrestling matches in 2021 and Burns was actually 5 lbs heavier (203.2 lbs vs Khamzat's 198 lbs).

No, I think you're hanging on to a thread hoping you can obfuscate because of Burns' accent. He clearly says "One EIGHTY. How crazy is that?" Then he says one EIGHTY again exactly the same way.

As far as a grappling match, lmao. That's irrelavent to his fighting weight in an MMA fight. Especially in the UFC.

Good try, though. the pic is what really makes the weight difference obvious. Chimaev looks a whole weight class above Burns! He's fucking HUGE!

You're gaslighting knowing most people won't care to listen to the video.

You're also conveniently choosing a picture where their legs are not visible, and from the side instead of the front.

Of course those weigh-ins are relevant, because you can see what they look like at their respective weights.

Maybe it would make you understand that you can't just look at the height of people and decide that the taller guy is heavier.

Burns weigh-in was about 3 months before he fought at WW, Khamzat's weigh-in was about 3 weeks after he fought at WW.

Then we also had the "We are all lean and mean at 190 lbs"-quote from 11 months after the Khamzat fight from Burns.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

DDP is looking YUUUGE. War DDP. Gonna be a tough night out for Khamzat.

We have burns ON VIDEO saying he's "Always 180" before the Chimaev fight. He is quoted as saying "we're all 190" 13 months later.

Then we have pics of Chimaev and Burns facing off. Chimaev looks like's he's in the next weight class up he looks so much bigger.

It's perfectly fair to conclude Chamaev was the bigger man in the cage that night by a significant margin.

here's another pic of Chimaev looking much bigger IN THE CAGE.

 

[dog y]

Looks like a WW who overbulked and still cuts too much lol
A few years ago Costa was 214 in the cage after weighing in for MW. Ripped and jacked. That was the heaviest then. Doesn't look like it, but now I wonder if DDP rehydrates even more.
Then Holloway cutting absurdos to fight smaller men and somehow thinking that's a bad dude.
...
Meanwhile badasses like Machida and Hendo weighed in at 199 and 202 for LHW. Fedor and Minota when young, not even 230, including some fat. Also CroCop, I believe he was like 221 and 222 for Wand, who was 215 and outweighed CroCop the second time, at 225.
Akira Shoji, short, fat and soft at ~165 against Schilt and other behemoths. Saku, against roofed up monsters.

Even in that picture, you can see that Burns legs are much much thicker.
His neck/back/traps are also thicker, and he's carrying more body fat.


And wtf, you posted the video where he was talking about his weight when he fought at 155, even included a picture of him weighing in at 155, then talking about how CRAZY it was that he fought at 180-182 lbs at LW, and how he felt he had an advantage early on due to that, but faded past round 1 due to the big cut.

You can't just pick a few words and completely ignore the context of it.

If you didn't hear it, you're probably deaf.
4:40 to 4:50 in the video you posted.


Then there was also the article where he talked about how he walked around 188-190 lbs while he was a LW, having to run every day to get the weight down and being unable to take shortnotice fights.

Now stop quoting me.

The only reason I've been answering and wasting my energy is because I'm right, how can you keep going while clearly being wrong?

you said you were done and wished me a good weekend, but you keep coming back, lol.

I've already explained Burns says "always one EIGHTY" in a video. He says that after 6 WW fights and 3 years at 170 and he's about to fight Chimaev. Then you post an MMA outlet quoting him as saying "we're all 190". Ok, there's some evidence, but it sure as hell ain't definitive. So the video and pics are really the more substantive evidence. Chimaev looks GIANT compared to Burns and the legs aren't that far apart in size either. As a matter of fact, Chimaev's calves are BIGGER!

 

[Fergelmince]

Agreed. I have given up basically. The thread went way off topic, yet moderators did not address it. I have asked for proper fight night weight results as evidence. No way is it 5 lbs. I cannot argue with rabid Khamzat fans who will continue to go round and circles asking me to shun my common sense. Just simply don't have time.

At this point, I am just waiting for the fight to happen. They try to pass their own subjective, biased opinions, as facts without any evidence.

Khamzat is a solid 6'2". Burns is no more than 5'9". He is no bigger than Poirier and also, a solid 2 inches shorter than Usman who is around 5'11" at best. Khamzat was cutting a lot of weight back in those days. He would cut to 170 lbs from around 205 lbs at least. Burns always said, welterweight is his natural weight and he does not cut weight. My estimation is, he is around 175 - 178 lbs at best in that fight.

Burns looks tiny next to Khamzat. With the sheer weight of bones alone and then the fact that Khamzat is cutting a lot of weight. Burns looks much smaller than Dana White while Khamzat looks HUGE next to Burns. 5 lbs weight different is not even noticeable.

When Islam fought Moicano, he weighed 178 lbs while Moicano weighed 182 lbs. You could barely tell the difference. 5 lbs is less than 3% of the weight difference. It is negligible. Moicano actually looked smaller since Islam has a more muscular build

Islam at 178 lbs and Moicano at 182 lbs. 5 lbs difference on what it actually looks like. Barely noticeable.

Now, look at Khamzat next to Burns. Khamzat is way bigger than Burns. No matter the weight difference, the size difference is undeniable. Khamzat looks HUGE next to Burns. 5 lbs, 10 lbs, 20 lbs, 30 lbs. Does not matter. Khamzat in MMA terms, was way bigger than Burns. Rest is all subjective opinions that would skew one way or the other. Does not matter. One thing is a FACT that Khamzat is way bigger than Burns. No one should be insulting another person's intelligence by trying to contradict this fact and saying, they are similar. Period.

I got you to come back after you wished me a good weekend. You are the most easily manipulated member on the forum.

I missed this reply.

You ignored when I posted the weighin of Burns in a grappling match at 203.2 lbs in April 2021. He then fought at WW 3 months after.

Khamzat weighed in 198 lbs in a wrestling match vs Jack Hermnansson in November 2021 3 weeks after fighting at 170.

Both those weigh-ins were with clothes on.

It only went off-topic because you were wrong and refused to admit it.

Then we had the video the other guy posted where Burns admitted to being 180+ at fight night as a LW.

And the quote about "We are all around 190 lbs lean and mean" about the WW top 5.

We also had the NY Post article/interview with Burns when he recalls how tough it was as a 188-190 lb man to diet/cut down to LW, before he moved up to WW.

This is Burns at 203.2 lbs.

 

[Alpha_T83]

its gonna be a hard night for chimaev, usmanish but then 5 rounds. if he dont finish dricus within 2 rounds, dricus will consume him.

That's my prediction too.

 

[Alpha_T83]

Folded!

I'm sure Roberto Soldic could beat him again... LOL

Merab lost his first two UFC fights. Doesn't matter.
