Why Khamzat will never be the star Poatan is

[andgonsil]

Hugging s*#%s man

The crowd immediately starts booing when a good stand up fight goes to the fence

Poatan vs Izzy > Khamzat vs DDP

If you didn't enjoy his domination of DDP I would ask you this:

What other boring fights has he had?

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Retarded take, lol.

He may not end up being a Poatan type of star, but the reason is inactivity and a few high profile pull outs/cancelations.

Judging him for one boring fight would be like thinking you're a shit poster just bc of this one shit thread.
That can't be true, can it?

I don't think the other fights are really relevant here, it doesn't change the fact his fight with DDP was in fact boring. His other fights are exciting no doubt.

I think the biggest thing that upset people wasn't that the fight was boring, it was that they had high expectations for an exciting fight and a Khamzat domination and finish. It was his biggest fight and fans really wanted to see a dominant and exciting finish. Khamzat brings crazy confidence and pretty much buzzsaws through his opponents, so when you get a controlled uneventful 5 round decision, fans will be let down. They wanted that rush we got from a fight like Perrerira/Ank last weekend.

With guys like Merab you know what you're gonna get, with Khamzat I think it surprised people and it let them down. I know that's how I felt, I was hoping for a 1st round smash.

I mean is Pereria himself that big of a star outside of MMA fans?

None but how many times have we seen this? A guy goes to the top then starts fighting super passively to protect his rank and status.

Lots of boring fighters were killers on their way up. Jon fitch finished 4 of his first 7 before losing to GSP for example. It’s easy to take some risk when you’re fighting down in level.

Its one fight. If his first defense isn't exciting maybe you'll have a point.

 

[Kratos94]

He is already huge in the Muslim world. That's more than enough.

 

[Söze Aldo]

This is also a way weirder relationship than whatever Alex has going on with Nina

 

[Squarechoke]

The biggest star of the UFC is Conor (Pereira will never be close to him), which I think illustrates both sides of what that is worth.

Seems better to stand for your own opinions than looking to the masses.

 

[burningspear]

Thats why its a shame ilia, after an incomparable 3 fight stint has gone all precious on us.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Pereira has fought 12 times since the whole Khamzat / Diaz BS.... Damn.

[whooty]

khabib was wildly populair too, so silly argument

 

[LEWIS540]

Seems UFC is going down the WWE route where the biggest star is the company itself.

And I think people knew Khamzat could do more and be much more agressive in trying to finish DDP, but he chose the safest route.

So, like you said, when the spotlight was the greatest and everyone expect him to give his all, he made just enough

 

[Streeter]

Hea an a.azing grappler on level of Lhabib and likely better than Mak.

He fights once a year
Has the looks of Rosas
Unless he finishes his opponnet in rd 1 its not most exciting fight unless your just a huge grappling fan.

Khamzat right now ia as big as he will be unless he starts being active then he has a chsnce but not Pwreria level.

This is an underrated aspect…

Alex looks badass.

Khamzat looks like a rapist.
