Why Khamzat will never be the star Poatan is

[FriskyRandy]

- Inactive as fuck
- Kadyrov boy toy
- Prone to sickness
- Classless

Genuine question, what makes him classless?

Flipping people off and smiling like he doesn't give a fuck after missing weight by 10 pounds and putting the entire event in jeopardy.

Khamzat is the man but he ain't no poatan

 

[Mind Mine]

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.

Nah I enjoy Merab’s fights and they absolutely aren’t let me grab you and hold you down with noogies to stop it from being standup. That is absolutely horseshit. The UFC has historically frowned on people doing the shit he did in that fight.

Yeah it's more exciting and speaking to see standup fighters but the big factor is khamzats title win at me was his biggest fight biggest win and it turned into him grappling to a decision... Had he of had a finish I think it would be different

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

What other boring fights has he had?

He committed a serious party foul. It's going to take a lot to come back from that.

Doesn't seem to matter. You are only your last fight to a lot of people.

 

[hbombbisping]

If we can get past all the estro and man glazing in this thread, the biggest factor on why Khamzat will be the bigger star is because he's younger and better.

He will be in more main events. More eyes. More wins.

To be blunt, his future is brighter.

Pereria is not far off of 40. Get real.

 

[Captain Herb]

Khamzat looks like a rapist.

Fights like one too

 

[Captain Herb]

Poatan is weirdly huge in South Korea

Crowds will chase after him there and K-Pop idols always want to do dances with him

It's because he's Gangnam Style

Poatan vs Izzy > Khamzat vs DDP

Sure buddy

 

[BowserJr]

Ugly, inactive, dumb drama around him

 

[JakePaulMMA]

Genuine question, what makes him classless?

I've never seen his graduation photos.

 

[bjjwar]

When he first started he did have an incredible aura and the hupe was crazy. Then him getting sick and retiring, gassing and getting beat up by Burns while being inactive killed all that.

I think you're missing the point. With a guy like Merab you know what you're gonna get and either you like it or you don't. There is the expectation of what his fights go like. And if he happens to submit someone or KO them, it exceeds the expectation. So If you are a fan of his and like his fights, you're never really disappointed. I personally like Merabs fights, I know more than likely they're going the distance and how they will go.

But with the Khamzat/DDP fight, you had the complete opposite of what Khamzats fights usually go like. It was composed, low risk and complete control. His fans and most people were expecting the Khamzat will usually see, but were underwhelemed when the fight went as it did. The exptation coming in was that he would handle him like Whitaker.
