First time seeing a #11 being frustrated after win over a #2
So true!
Shows his mentality. He’s a monster bound to be a champ soon
@@mowalid14 after watching that fight you honestly believe he beats Usman?
@@rlucas7374 let them cope
Outside of Champions those are just numbers, Gilbert had also less reach advantage
"He tried to armbar or some sht and I was like nah I don't need this sht I'm gonna knock u out" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣
Haha. That spider sense is tingling 🤣. But for real tho he should wrestle Usman or Colby coz they are not BJJ champion like Gilbert. Colby is a good wrestler but Khamzat is a better wrestler I think.
😂
😂😂facts !!! line of the year fursure
🤣🤣🤣
He's an absolute maniac haha runs to the octagon like a child entering a theme park. He's just great fun all round. Top man Khamzat.
Wooooooooo
that's what. When he was all excited and started running during the Entrance....I knew he gonna waste a lot of energy on this fight...his excitement took him only. I wish he gets mature and learns from this...and I believe he should get at least 2 wins before fighting Usman.
@@mohammadhanzala1801 lol OK... Anyway Khamzat has admitted to a_busing animals on my recent lol no cap not spam
He’s so happy to get in there, he’s crazy lol
Yeah I never seen such a pure innocence walking to a cage to smash another Man's face in
Wow, thats mindblowing from Khamzat. After only 4 UFC fights experience, he made it in such fashion against the #2 in the world.

True just doesn't have that X factor
Its very rare to see a honest fighter like how khamzat displayed today. He completely accepted his mistakes openly; no shame, no ego. Hats off future champ 💯
Honest? He made all these empty promises about killing everybody brada that loudmouth fool got humbled. He isn't the "terminator" people hyped him up to be.
@@osvaldovasquez9048 He knows that’s the way to promote and sell yourself, it’s nothing bad about that, everybody talks like this. He was to focused on getting a KO and sees his own mistakes, there is no shame in that.
@@osvaldovasquez9048 hes still a 27 year old human that beat number 2 ranked after 10 professional fights. Lol the hype has definitely died but yall crazy if you think he's not going anywhere
Wasn't he saying he could fight Usman the same night?
Fighters do that all you time you casual
He fought like an inexperienced 27 year old but moving forward he will be hard to beat if anyone wants to beat him this is the year, couple of years in he will be unbeatable.

At what age are they generally the best?

Def a growing experience for the wolf. He will be champ sooner than later.

His character has really shown through. Seems like a good dude, seems honest and he I’m glad we get to see the more sensible side of him. Future champ for sure
Hes always shown this buddy. Anyway Khamzat has admitted to a_busing animals on my recent lol no cap not spam
near future champ 4 sure.
He's monster he love hit punches this guy is crazy chinchin
I think he was humbled is really what happened.
Not shown as much but 100% agree. Man he’s a mauler but he has the character of a champion. When you go to war with the top it changes you. Love his transformation will be great for him in the octagon going forward into destiny.
Jeeez and hes a humble dude. Admits his mistakes, even in winning. I only see him getting better. Warriors these guys.👊💯
Khamzat proves his worth. Great victory. Burns is the man. Both warriors live up to the hypes
Everyone’s stock went up
Nah he doesn’t.. whats up Khamzat no smash?? He got wobbled 2 times…
@@vadrianooo He fought the number 2 ranked fighter in one of the toughest divisions, within 5 fights... Yet you're here hating? Weird.
@@vadrianooo dude is only 17 yo give him some time
@@marcusbailey3988 oh is was that your excuse now? Because according to everybody burns wasn’t supposed to make it out of the first round🤔 I hate when the narratives switch from he’s unstoppable to he’s inexperienced. pick one hill to stand on and die on it.
This was the test Chimaev needed, this has humbled him and also prepared him for what is next. I felt coming into this fight he sadly underestimated Burns, this is what kept him from the finish IMPO. Initially he was crisp, focused and precise, but after the 1st round he became impatient and frustrated which clouded his judgement causing him to get rocked. His chin is solid, his heart is there, but his inexperience with stand up is clear against a striker like Burns. I would fear Chimaev from here on out, he now knows the level of competition he will be facing and will step up his game and increase his training regimen. I feel sorry for his next opponent!
Yes I feel like he was fighting with his ego in round 2 and not listening to the plan. That's why his coach was mad I think. Hopefully Khamzat will become a more calculated fighter after this.
He was obsessed with KO. Didn't even try to take down burns in 2nd or 3rd
@@ZeeshanAli-iw3ep Khamzat realised after the first take down that Burns is much stronger than he anticipated and realised it aint worth doing them for the whole fight.
@@liveforever9888 🤦🏻♂️ idiot
yeah he did underestimated burns and made some mistakes but its good that he still won and learnt a lot. a lot of fighters usually have to lose to learn a lot
This was a hall of fame fight. Much respect to both Khamzat and Gilbert Burns.
Chimaev is such a relentless fighter yet he is so emotional with this thinking and mindset about his life ❤️

@Ag21 No, the holy spirit is a spirit, but if you want to get down to brass tacks then you can you can always point out their similarity which is that neither of them EXIST
Actually that guy won the fight not Hamza

Wouldn’t put Khabib and tibau with these fights, Khabib never even got bruised let alone bled
@@moosakashif115 tibau won that fight he got robbed
@@moosakashif115 Burns would smoke Khabib at 170. Khabib only fought strikers and don’t you come saying that Justin was a wrestler. MMA wrestling is different and Justin also doesnt have jiu jitsu. There is a reason Khabib didnt move to 170.
@@vaibhavnegi6637 Are you saying khabib should have fight Usman? Lol
😂😂 jeez i see all these people shitting on khabib for no reason. The dude literally did it all, the biggest fight analysts say he was one of the goats and these idiots act like he did nothing, so toxic smh. Everytime i see the comment sections saying tibau won against khabib, i put the fight on each time and i dont see it, it was the same as every other fight.
Khamzad is 27 years old, burns 36 years old and one of the best fighter with a lot of experience in the UFC, so i think Khamzad did very well for taking the short road.
No he didn’t, I was rooting for him but sad to say he underperformed. Cody was only 25 when he fought the best bantamweight ever in Cruz. Conor was 26 when he fought the best FW Aldo. Burns is a lightweight. Khamzat went from “this is the next 3 weight champ” to “he did well for his age” lol

What an astounding change of character and energy after this war. This guy has got so much potential its insane.

@@issa2666 Yup and the champ and #1 are on a whooooole other level.
@@TrayTrucking you still have to realize that he is 27 and he has only had 4 fights in the UFC prior to this fight ! Yes he still definitely has a lot of things to work on, but Khamzat still has time and with time you will see a massive difference in the way he fights. He will become Champion in a near future !
People are being hard on Khamzat after this fight but to me it just proved how much of a true fighter he really is. Tough af and still learning. Respect to both what a fight.
Exactly, he has foght 4 times in ufc and he beat the number 2 rank welterweight lol. Who has done that after 4 fights and he proved he is a fighter so be ready to have to move him from hes senses to stop him
No their not said he would smash first round and when someone can fight back he had a hard fought decision
Its only the khamzat fanboys that are being hard on him. Theres no way chimaev fanboys expected chimaev to steamroll burns lmao, though i was rooting for chimaev i knew it wasnt gonna be easy for chimaev
yeah khamzat is tough, USMAN by murder
proved to me that he talks too much and needs to work on his game lol. colby or usman would work him at this point if he showed up to them w this type of performance
Chimaev is so humble and tough. He will learn a lot from this war he went through with Burns. Respect for both warriors 🙌🏻

Khamzat definitely learned a lot for his future opponents!
Definitely. And Gilbert is a multi medal champion in BJJ. Covington ton is a highschool wrestler (being sarcastic not really). If you aren't tested how are you supposed to get better? Can't stay low level forever.
Yea but also Usman and Colby are smelling his blood too
Well.. he beat the #2 fighter. There literally just 2 opponents he can potentially have trouble with. That said, its safe to say, Khamzat is the current #1 p4p fighter. His title reign is probably gonna be from 28 to 36. From 28 to 31 (Welterweight). From 31 to 33 (middleweight) and 33 to 36 (lhw). Two opponents a year that's 16 title defenses. Not bad. Not many have over 15 title defenses across 3 weight classes...
@@TrayTrucking Felt compelled to disagree when reading this but it's simply true. I don't see what training with Till does for his game at the moment. Hopefully he's smart enough to know this.
If he wrestle in his level nobody gonna stop him if fight in feet against colby and usman the hype train will stop forever
Khamzat is super skilled, super tough, super hard worker, super humble, and most importantly, he’s very coachable! You see he respects his coaches as well and responds to what they’re saying vs getting mad. This guy is the real deal, only going to get better.
This win will do so much for this man. This type of fight is exactly what he needed and man did he show out!
Mindblowing fight!! Real gladiators!!🥊🥊💪🏻🥊🥊💪🏻
@@2fast4u2win9 yeah man, that was a good scrap fo sho!
Had he been more tactical, and followed the game plan he would have performed way better. He wanted a KO but come on, Burns is experienced and tough to fight against. This was a good experience for Khamzat and i believe he learned a lot with this fight. Excited to see a better version of him!
Yeah he learned from his mistakes
Had he had a good game plan he could’ve had a flawless match with his attributes. He has it all but just needs to refine it all & adjust
He lost that fight. Burns won
@@urbanexpansion1357 bruh🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@rubenpacheco2917 he got a reality check, i’m sure him and his team will do the necessary to fix those issues
This is the best thing that could have happened to him. He understands he needs work and needs to be more disciplined at this level.
He lost that X factor. I question his fight IQ as well as defense after a jab/combo. He leaves himself wide open nearly every time and he has no gas tank (maybe c19 did it). I thought triple champ was possible, now it's *impossible*.
@@Krasno- he’s 27 not even in his prime he’ll learn
He was a ball of adrenaline and nerves. Hopefully this is a lesson for him in the future to better manage all of that energy. He looked way too excited/nervous and it was messy. He just needed to calm down and fight relaxed. This was a good lesson for him, I do think in the future he will be better at shutting down the noise and staying focused.
@@Krasno- MAte it's Ramadam. He aint eating anything, goin through weight cut and a fight on top of that. Ofc he will be out of breath with all the lack of protein and energy from food.
@@Bawamba They still eat lol, just at night.
great stuff. Khamzat definatly got his cage rattled and he'll learn alot from this fight. How he's handling himself in this interview was great. No more killing people, smeshing everybody... You can tell this is the first time in his life he has been in this position.
Our expectations are so high when it comes to khamzat that even though he wins the fight we are kinda disappointed. That says a lot.
Burns exposed his game. He damaged Chimaev and now no one is scared. After this fight, Chimaev certainly is not ready to go up against Israel or Usman.
Oh my you guys are delusional. Khamzat proved he could take the hardest shots and stay composed he also stuffed tough takedowns despite being gassed
@@chibuikechristopher324 "now no one is scared" Sounds like Burns was the one ranked #11!!! Khamzat was reckless and stupid and still dropped him several times with a jab... Burns is finished. Khamzat is getting warmed up...
The fight showed he's not getting past Usman unless he gets significantly better, that's for sure.
Because we all from the bottom of our heart wants Usman not be the champion...
Before the fight : I’ll fight Gilbert and Kamaru on the same night ! After fight : humbled and honest ! He’s human afterall
Ahhaha ikr 🤣
Dude is selling his fights right! Khamzat videos have 5 times the views as other fighters gods to show you how special he's
After the fight I don’t think he’s beating Kamaru anytime soon
He said colby and usman in the same night. And he can do it. Colby fight is easier than burns
@@leoupdate8150 I'm a Khamzat fan and I think he's not ready yet for Usman but definitely has a solid chance against Edward and Covington.
Khamzat was sitting on the cage like Thanos
Hahahaha real
Right? 💯
haha..it was so scary and funny at the sametime
That was dope
And then get beat up.
Watch this interview for 30 second and he admitted he made mistakes 🔥 that’s signs of a great person not just a fighter !! All W for him I hope
Man what a jump in level, mad respect... and he still is humble and honest with himself, recipe for a champ
Chimaev is a monster, definitely gonna be champ soon but I don't think he's ready for usman just yet
Exactly. He’s still raw but he’s def got the potential. Colby will be very difficult tho
He can’t and won’t be champ. He won’t beat Colby or Usman, he’s not on that level
Ofcoarse he is lmfao not even in top 10 and sooo close to a 1st round finish over #2… he will learn sooo much from this might make usman look easy lol
Well he’s 28. Let that sink in
he is 27...i almost feel sad he jumped to two ...he needed to fight one or two number 5-10 then maybe jump to top 5 ...burns is a clear number 2 after usman and colby
gilbert said rather face khamzat now than two years from now because khamzat will only get better.
2 things really impressed me about Chimaev that I didnt know before 1. a jab thats more than just a range finder 2. Has a real granite chin I think he's even scarier now after this fight
To be honest is this a great experience for him. Really happy for that fight and that result. Nice khamzaz really looking forward a nice future with you
This fight was worth „ GOLD“ for Chimaev ! A lot to learn for him , he got humbled and underestimated burns . He still did a good job ! If he does his HW he will come back more composed , stronger and sharper . The most important thing to learn for khamzat today was to use his head too when fighting he can’t walk down everyone … especially not burns !
He is zero in ground.. Khabib much better than this guy
Got humbled? He won fukkktard
No Head movement

Two excellent fighters. Speaking with candor and respecting the opponents. These qualities are rare to see in UFC fighters these days.
He fought nobody before and thought other fighters might be almost the same and now he knows what its like to fight real contenders its a great experience for him
and he won
Khamzat is not ready for Usman. He has to improve a bit when he meets Usman. Colby vs Khamzat should be next. Gilbert has power in his hands , Colby doesn't.
Usman had to changr Gyms because Burns was winning vs Usman. Usman got scared and went to Trevor Widman. still got almost koed by Burns. Burns is wayyyyyy tougher than Colby.
Plus khamzat didn’t want to go down w Gilbert because of BJJ threat, he will wrestle Colby and I think he’s stronger so I actually think Colby will not be as hard as Gilbert.
@@zoro8117 he changed gyms because they were scheduled to fight you casual Also usman litterally koed burns in the second round Burns made khamzat look like beat meat Look at his face lmao He was way more damaged than usman Khamzat almost got koed a couple of times

If there's anywhere he could improve after watching this fight it's definitely his mental game... his abilities are incredible
Chimaev is gonna come back with some great experience after that fight, I think this is better than a quick finish since this teaches him what not to do from here on. Best off getting that out of the way now rather then later with guys like usman and covington.
Gilbert's performance was more impressive than anything else in this fight!
Definitely saw an improvement in technique. He used to swing without defense.
Judges disagree
Really? So an unranked fighter in their FIFTH ufc fight beating him isn't more impressive?? you straight 🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️
not enough to stop khamzat.
Both Khamzat and Gilbert performance was impressive af in this fight
Appriciate Khamzat keeping this fight on feet but he is definetly wrestler first🤟🏻
he is a wrestler first but he also understands that against guys like usman and colby where takedowns wont be as prominent he will need the standup. i thougth his standup didnt look too shabby, a guy like burns almost put usman out and khazmat hung with him even after making some inexperienced mistakes. he had gilbert broken a bit early till he got caught himself and gilbert got that second wind.
He had no choice. Burns was to hard to keep down. He was gassing out trying. Grappler vs Grappler = stand up war
Yep he doesn’t even move his head usmans right hand or jab would sit him down he needs to improve his striking defence ASAP
Regardless burns got robbed from that fight.
@@GSthe3rd hard to keep down?he had him down twice and chose to stand the fight up. he wanted to get him out there to prove to people he can strike. it was a bit of a khabib vs iaquinta situation with the difference being it was alot bloodier. and ur crazy if u think he was tired grappling lmao, the standup took more out of him than the wrestling. even when he was tired on the feet when they would grapple it would look like he had a spring in his legs. he has been wrestling all his life, i doubt thats the thing that would get him tired.
Very pertinent questions and we now get to know Khamzat more, the answers were spot on respectful. The guy is humble infact. What a fight! these two left nothing in the ring. Warriors.
He is a great fighter! Would really love to see them fight again in a year.
I think with this showed is how incredibly talent both of these warriors are. The fact that Gilbert and all three rounds with Chimaev shows how incredibly talented and great of a fighter in Gilbert Burns is. The fact that Khamzat was able to defeat the number to ranked Gilbert Burns says how promising Khamat is.
"the number to ranked"💀
@@deez3063 ok
Imho, he didn't beat him by much, I called it a draw. That being said, we need to see this fight again but 5 rounds.
@@deez3063 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@therandomguy1039 striking was almost the same but Chimaev had 2:23 of control time from the takedowns and Burns only had 6 seconds of control. The control is what made the difference. They only had 11 sig. strikes differences out of 223, it was super close there.
People are acting like he got dominated..the guy was literally never in trouble for a single second the whole fight. Even after being dropped he was able to secure a takedown. He clearly did not follow the game plan at all and still won. The Colby and Usman fight is nothing easy but Khamzat beats them both if he follow the game plan.
People also forget that Adesanya went through the EXACT same situation against Kelvin and ended up being champ... not to mention Gilbert is #2 ranked for a reason.
Khamzat is one of kind but his fight IQ need improvement ya can't be 3div champ like that
cmon dude be real, he is not he unbeatable moster the hype make him look, bad cardio, khamzat looked really gassed in the 3, what would happen in 5 rounds again someone like the cardio king or the nigerian nightmare and chimaev is not the best striker, literally no head movement,etc.he can improve though, he have the biggest room for it
@@octaviosalvatierra1389 no head movement, lowest fight iq I ever saw among the elite, hes deff got talent but needs to learn patience and in general just learn
Nice username. Fits the comment very well.
One of the most exciting fights i have seen in a long time. Great performance by both guys really but Khamzat of course showed toughness and showed it against a very durable opponent. I really like this guy and hope he gets a title shot in the near future
Khamzat was humbled! And that fight was a split decision not unanimous. I hate those judges
Fax definitely was a spilt
I knew that cut was going to open up you could see the scar tissue in it all week. What a fight 2 warriors.
Khamzat is a monster to beat the 2nd ranked guy in only his 3rd UFC fight at WW
not a monster anymore, he barely won
he got rocked multiple times this just shows you cannot intimidate everyone specially at top5 elites there is a reason why these guys are in top5 knowing that Burns is top2 means that he fought everyone just to be in that rank.
He had zero head movement. Guy was stiff as a board. Colby derails the hype train guaranteed
Burns won
He did not beat Burns...lets say he passed Burns...did you saw his face when they were proclaiming the winner? He was not certain that he will win
Took 2 punches in previous 4 fights Took 86 huge punches in one fight to balance it out what a G
He's only 27. He's only had 4 fights in 2 years and just won against number 2 ranked. He will get better. Burns said rather fight him now than In 2 years
Khamzat just under estimate Burns, fighter must respect his opponent.
I think he underestimated the level of the whole division. He fought a few low ranked guys and he thought that the whole division is of that same caliber. He now knows there’s levels to this. That being said I can still see him become champ in the future (with a few more years of experience and training)
super classic.. Burns is a legend. respect for khamzat.. this is the best fight ever
this is exactly what he needed. i love khamzat but i knew for a fact he needed a fight to push him to his limits so he can work on all his errors and build himself up for the title shot.
hes gonna grow even more now he understands that everyone is their own monster in a way. he said he felt bad fighting a family man I give him respect for that. now he knows that there is more on the line
Khamzat actually looked beatable today. He ended up winning but it was very close. It goes to show you just how good fighters like usman and covington are in being the number 1 contender and champion. He will be champion eventually though.
He was way to excited, he seems very shocked of the power he had. He literally, genuinely thought he was gona knock him out round 1 lol. Hes ready for colby if he slows down trust but cobly can still smoke him
Burns nearly knocked out usman…do you remember, i wouldnt put colby so far above burns..all these guys look beatable, usman may be a little step above but still
he was beatable, because he made himself look beatable. dude went forward like a madman haha. with a bit more discipline he couldve finished burns easily, but na, decided to gang and bang hahaha
@@housseinawada5866 they all look beatable including khasmat.
*He ONLY looked bearable because he wanted a war.* If he fought smart, forward pressure behind a long jab, 1-2 and Step back out of range, and timed his takedowns for when his opponent tries to rush. He didn’t get dropped by the power puncher Burns, and had his chin up the whole time. Hopefully Till helps him with his range and distance management and he helps Till with wrestling, not just defending, but actually getting takedowns.
Loved every minute of it ❤️🔥🔥🔥
Both Put on a great show. What a fight ! Respect to both
Bro realized the smoke #1 and the champion bring is another level stopped with the callouts quick humbled asf
He has so much to learn. He need to become strategic in his thinking and carry it to his fighting...
Gotta appreciate him for always giving us entertainment and fireworks, good man :-)
Burns was a nightmare match up for him great power fast and amazing on the ground and still got the job done and also what a chin this guy has
In retrospect Dana was spot on when he said that Chimaev needed 4 more fights bef before a title shot. His next fight is critical to whether his confidence is maintained or broken.
I am happy that he won but also got humbled 😂
Same he needed that when he's young & not on the top.
This experience will make him a better fighter in a long run
Yes man
Agreed! He underestimated Burns and paid the price, after he couldn't KO him in 1st he got frustrated and clouded his judgement, his focus was gone and he was fighting angry the rest of the fight. His chin is impeccable, heart of a lion but lack of experience shows.
He's not delusional...that's a good thing...
Looks a little roughed up there, but a win is a win. Congratulations young man Bravo 👏
Respect man both of these two guys

He needed this, it teaches him and humbled him !! He gonna be the champ
Israel KO's Khamzat
vs Usman? i dont know anymore
Only chance is Middleweight
Khamzat never champ while usman and Colby are active
@@smoketj4830 he would get eaten by Usman. His gas tank alone says a lot. He was already out of breath in the 3rd round. Usman and Colby - that's deep waters right there... The hype still aint real
Agreed, with Christuffrz28 this fight humbled him. This interview showed a more likeable side of Chimaev.
Burns only lost this fight for two reasons. 1. He lacked the confidence he needed to get the victory. 2. He had no head movement which made him an easy target. Usman will prove to be a different animal for Chimaev, if he can get by Covington.
@lmao chinas last battle was 1979 It could be because Colby will take Chimaev into deep waters where he will be tested again.
Glad ESPN kept Brett Okamoto the dudes been grinding for ESPN way before the UFC took off
He is a bit of a UFC shill though, won’t ask any of the tough questions. What seperate Ariel from everyone else
Khamzat is a beast 🔥
impossible to not like this guy. humbled in victory. future champ 4 sure
He is the real deal. Burns showed he is too. What a fight. I was tearing up honestly. Thought Chimaev may smash him, but Gilbert fighting back being the smaller guy it was just inspiring. Heart for both.
His fight with colby is going to be epic, I'm already laughing thinking about the pre fight drama. Colby is a beast but I think khamzat can beat him.
People are sleeping on Chimaev already. People have no idea how scary he’ll be and how much he’s going to improve.
Khamzat has a good chance of beating Colby but Colby is a beast too. He's not a bad striker, probably a better striker than Khamzat and I doubt Khamzat keeps him down in wrestling.
Actually Colby will be the perfect match for Khamzat.
@@aliyadavid2072 he was afraid to wrestle Burns Colby doesnt have the power Burns have it will look different than this fight
@@aliyadavid2072 Colby is a better striker than NO ONE in welterweight
People, put this in prospective, he's only 10-0 in his professional career versus a guy with over 40 fights and 2nd in the weight class. Impressive for someone fresh into his career 👏👏
Over 40 fights? Are you high? Gilbert is 20 - 5 after tonight lol.
@@starmorpheus these fanboys are all high
@@starmorpheus lol
@@unknownakhkosova5234 and they changes their tune to KHAMZ RAGDOLLS BURNS USMAN IZZY ..TRIPLE CHAMP..to..OH BURNS IS NO.2....KHAMZ INEXPERIENCED...lmao
I think The dude wants to Be fan friendly fighter not The Floyd Mayweather of mma
Great fight ! Mad respect for both of them. But Chimaev was humbled by Burns.
Straight courage strength and honor props to both these warriors,
From my eye as a humble martial artist khamzat was "taking pictures" or being around too long after he landed. Every massive punch from gilbert that landed was a late hook after a miss from Khamzat. Easy for him to fix, and great showing from gilbert. Fight of the year so far for me. GREAT FIGHT 👊 ! All sincerity, Khamzat is only 27. Give it a year or so from him tightening up and continuing the bromance with Till and his camp is solid, he'll be the champion in my irrelevant and humble opinion lol 🦉 💎
Plus khamzat' head movement was unexistent cause he was to exited
Obviously Till isn’t helping his striking much if he’s getting dropped and wobbled by a short lightweight like Dilbert. He’ll never be champion at WW
Hamzat is a very good guy, honest ... See him as a champion!
"I don't like that shit-i go up" lmao really becoming a fan of chimaev., so genuine
it shows that he is definitely an elite and formidable fighter, he really learned a lot from this fight, even to lower his arrogance, it really shows that he has a lot to learn. I'm rooting for his improvements.
Silva - I back Khamzat - I happy
This just reminds us how good khabib was and what he did to opponents on 155.
This has nothing to do with khabib.
Definitely not Khabib, Khabib will not fight striking, ..this guy is different. With KO power.
tf this got to do with anything
🤣🤣🤣
@@jamebond4750 stop crying and let him hype up his fighter
"Hey, you want to hear the least fascinating news ever?" "Sure" "You won fifty thousand dollars"
Head movements and jab is the vital to his game. Future champ
This guy threw all his skills out the bag and still beat Gilbert trust me he is going to start starch the next guys
also was fasting :)
where did he said that he fought in a fasted state?
haha it's a stretch to call that "beat"
@@nurmagobobthegov1320 Ramadan
@@JS-lc4kg He wasn't fasting, he ate a lot of punches
Khamzat needed this fight.. first to show him that he was human at the end of the day and he got a bit lucky to get the win and second it was a wake up call not to take anyone for granted.. I honestly feel he got a bit carried away with all the hype and social media distractions.. if he wants to be champion he needs to be way more focused and work really hard for it..
Don't even talk about luck my man..they are both fighter and the best wins keep that way ....and ofcurz respect to both fighters.
@@imliaier2231 they both had a great fight thats for sure.. but when it comes to scoring this fight it was a close one.. thats why I only mentioned that.. it wasn't a dominant win
He really has everything to be the GOAT of MMA: Work ethic, hunger/necessity, love of violence/fighting, personality, fan favourite, tough/warrior-like, entertainment factor, great coaching, humility, talent, no real flaws to his game (can strike & grapple + whatever you want), size/physique/athletic ability, fight IQ, fearless and supreme confidence, a chin, conditioning (as long as he stick to game plan and doesn't brawl), you name it he has it all. All he needs now is some more experience against elite comp. I've never seen anyone like this in any fighting sport.
That’s a little overkill give him some time. He looks like a future champ for sure though. Gonna be cool to watch him get better.
This humbling was needed.
