Vettori and Luque would beat Chimaev

[Pious Augustus]

Why not? What's khamzat's credentials in submission grappling?

Khamzat has 2 submission wins in his total 7 minutes of fight time in UFC the same number of submission wins Vettori has during his 12 UFC fights

 

[Zach The Maniac]

Nope

Khamzat benefits from being a size bully at 170. He loses that advantage at 185 against tanks like Vettori and Costa who could match his muscle. They also can eat punches well and push forward where Khamzat would struggle most.

Theres a reason Khamzat turned down the Rockhold fight.

He did fine against 185 world sambo champ and undefeated in MMA outside of Chimaev, Ikram Aliskerov.

I agree that Marvin could well be the toughest fight for him in either division. Good defensive wrestling, an iron chin, insane cardio and ridiculous drive to win would be the test of the areas where there are still potential doubts about Khamzat.

If he steamrolled Vettori that would be insanely impressive as nobody steamrolls Vettori.

 

[Thawing Mammoth]

Well, Masvidal and Askren would beat Usman. You can't do 2 against 1 on that level

 

[Sad Dad]

Marvin is HUGE and as much as I think he’s the biggest doofus on planet earth he’s pretty talented. Not sure about chimmy boy. He looks phenomenal, I don’t see any weaknesses yet but he’s very untested. Hard to say.

 

[Iron Nick]

Khamzat is definitely a big WW. I think that division is doomed for the time being. Khamzat will definitely go to 185 once he's bored of that 170lbs belt.

That's fair.
I'm just saying that the size bully accusations are stupid.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Vettori has a tough chin, but I think Khamzat would crack it. The shot he through at GM3 was so fast and so powerful.

 

[PPVpoints]

Whittaker smeshes Khazmat with the ease.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

(Looks at thread title.)

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! <45><45><45>

 

[Tweak896]

I would like to see bets go up against Khamzat vs everyone in top 5. You guys are all losing money lol. Give the guy a title shot already.

 

[Grandwizard666]

I can definitely see luque getting it done. He's future champ material
Vettori not unless he can keep khamzat standing and avoid those bombs. I think he'd lose.
