I'm still aboard the hype train but it all depends on how he does vs rob

[Loop-vq]

I believe in him he has all the abilities unfortunately health issues have affected that. He still can be champ soon

Caio borralho trained with him. He said khamzat overtrains a lot. Imo chimev should reduce his training volume.

khamzat's a bit over hated imo, a fighter just doesnt randomly go from being the most active fighter, fighting in 2 events a week from each other -, 3 fights a year to then not fighting at all and pulling out regularly, covid clearly massively derailed his career and fucked his immune system, he himself admitted he almost considered retiring

[good]

He hasn't lost yet so he just has to beat Chinaker. Entirely possible if he just goes balls to the wall and gets an early takedown.

Hi Bryce! New conspiracy: what if the UFC is just trying to sell the Jones vs Aspinall? They know that if Dana keeps hyping him out of context, even with intentionally misleading words; Jones never talks about Tom and ducks him anytime possible; and Tom elevates his callouts to dark day by day, they will have way more people talking about it and so sell more than a trad promotion. Started the last day to look like a WWE storyline. And they're partners.

Btw Jack Hermansson is pronounced like an I: Iak or Yak Hermansson (if I remember correctly an interview in which he was saying it)

[homework]

khamzat is the most underrated and discredited fighter in history.

[ZEREN_X]

It was Whittaker who requested Dana to rebook the match with Chimaev.

It’s entirely possible if he beats Whittaker but even then, if he gives his usual performance, I still don’t think he beats DDP…Khamzat IQ is really low when it comes to his approach to winning and so far it’s worked against welterweights but so far not against bigger middleweights…Khamzat did himself no favors going up and down in weight so quickly, being very inactive, injured and sick…some of these things aren’t his fault but it’s not good to consider when facing someone like a Whittaker or DDP….

[jacobochoa-fyve]

I doubt it, pulled out of every main event he’s had, somehow beat usman when he got whooped 2 rounds, never ragdolled a top level fighter or finished a top level fighter, his chances are higher since the fight is 3 rounds but once he gets 5 round fights with the top middleweights he’s gonna lose, he’s probably gonna be top 5 at highest

[luvvjirika]

Their country's president dragged him so bad his immune system and career everything is just dragged down.
