Your Khamzat vs Reaper prediction ?

[Iroh]

My prediction is that moments before the ref yells "fight" my heartbeat is going to be through the fucking roof and my hands will be sweating.

While eating mom's spaghetti?

 

[Brigfa2]

Khamzat will destroy Rob in two rounds

Unfortunately i think Khamzat wins

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I'm going with Whittaker by decision, I think it will be close though, won't be surprised if its a split decision type of fight.

 

[sjon22]

If Whittaker is smart, he lets Khazmat tire himself out. Avoid big shots, keep distance and circle wide. A tired, frustrated Khazmat is easy picking for Robbie.

 

[MMAFanCal]

Rob finishes Khamzat round 3 or round 4.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Khamzat ragdolls bobby in a round or two max.

Bobby just doesn't have the answer if he gets taken down, and I love the man.

 

[burningspear]

rough first rd for rob

 

[europe1]

Rob doesn't have the youth to sprawl like he did vs Yoel Romero anymore. The DDP fight all but confirmed it.

He'll get caught in a front headlock-esque position and get tapped out.

 

[MarioLemieux]

Whittaker will knock him out if he can survive the first two rounds

 

[Steve Fox]

Whittaker is a top 10 striker in MMA history and has some of the most elite TDD ever seen in the sport

Chimaev isn't Brunson Sherbro.

 

[milliniar]

Khamzat pulls out day of fight.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Robert is going to "smesh" him. He's way better than anyone Khamzat has faced

 

[CroCopsLHK]

If anyone wants to huff and puff about the Usman performance keep in mind Kamaru is from a smaller weight class and was coming in 0-2. Former champ or not

The only people to test Chimaev are Burns and Usman. Now hes fighting Whitaker. Think about that

And I've had it up to here with this inactivity

 

[ExitLUPin]

Only goes 1 of 2 ways

Khamzat bullies and finishes Rob on the ground in the 1st or 2nd round

Rob survives early, picks Khamzat apart and walks him like a dog en route to a late TKO victory

 

[BoxingFan653]

Man this fight is truly the unpredictable. I'm sure someone has already gotten the result right by now on what happens but in real time lets be honest...who knows if Khamzat makes it...where is cardio is at at this point and if his 1st round mauling will overwhelm Rob or if he survives it.

This fight is going to be lit one way or the other. My prediction is early stoppage by Khamzat

 

[cws80us]

Unless something drastic has changed with Khamzat then we can realistically expect one of 2 possible outcomes:

1. Khamzat swarms Whittaker in the first round and gets an early finish.
2. Whittaker drags him into the deep waters and gets a decision or possibly a late finish.

I think #2 is the more likely given this is Khamzats first 5 rounder and first fight against an elite middleweight. Of course there's always possibility number 3 of Khamzat not actually making it to the ring.
