We are witnessing the Calmzat Chimaev redemption arc

[Young Calf Kick]

The guy suffered some serious health scares for both himself, but also his 1,5 year old baby boy allegedly has had some surgeries due to kidney issues.

His demeanor has been very interesting to see. He seems to be no longer this wild kid both inside and outside of the Octagon. Went away from the limelight in Sweden to have a focused camp. Stopped letting an unfocused jobber like Darren Till influence his trajectory. Appears very calm and doesn't say stupid shit in interviews. There seems to be some kind of tranquility over him ever since he re-emerged a couple of weeks ago.

The young, wild wolf cub has grown up. The belt is next.

 

[don't ask]

It's true. I've been badmouthing him, but beating Whitaker like that was real and I'm looking at him in a whole new light. I was on the path to hater, but now I'm on the path to be a fan.

Hopefully Jones and Perreira do the same.

 

[CombatCyborg]

Nah I'll continue disliking him

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

Never disliked him honestly. I'm glad he won, he deserves more respect because yes, he's that good

 

[ultra321]

His redemption arc will start when he pays everyone back the money he and his pals ripped off from them...

 

[brody_in_ga]

No one has ever done that to Robert... I thought he would survive rd 1 and TKO Kamzat in the later rds. I was obviously wrong...

 

[orca]

this is why i love grapplers/wrestlers

 

[BJJ4Tone]

unfocused jobber like Darren Till

 

[markys00]

Solid win and performance from khamzat. But sherdog still remembers.

 

[Gluhov]

the modern west destroys young men. its that simple.

 

[kingmob6]

when Daren Mohammed Tillwabee emerges as the contender again after moving to Saudi Arabia and converting to muslimhood, we can call this story a success.

 

[Slapjit]

Khamzat then stood above his lifeless foe Tom Aspinall, blood pouring from his mouth after being crushed by the now 3 weight champion's forearm. A single tear rolled down his face, and with his voice cracking he whimpered "I keeled everybody, brotha...". He wondered if his happiness was worth all of their pain.

Prolly

 

[Koala]

Calmzat is getting big, compared to the last fights

 

[Tito Tapped]

Fans will come around as soon as he gets active again.

 

[BoxingFan653]

Been seeing a lot of bad mouthing on Borz...wonder IF he wins how the forum is going to try to chalk this one up. They can only bash him for a close fight with Gilbert for so many years...WAR BORZ
