Khamzat Chimaev, is a Russian-born Swedish professional mixed martial artist of Chechen descent who competes in the welterweight and middleweight divisions of the Ultimate Fighting Championship members

Interestingly, Khamzat just did an interview where he downplayed to importance of Bo Nickals' wrestling in regards to an MMA matchup. It looks like these two are destined to meet but I think Bo needs another year of full MMA training. Khamzat spent the first 18 years of his life in w wrestling hotbed.

if we try to make this fight as realistic as possible and have both men go to welterweight, i think islam will win a decision. khamzat got no gas tank cutting to welterweight again, and islam going up to welterweight will give him a significant gas tank advantage over anyone currently in the middle weight division. khamzats only shot is to KO ...

Aug 4, 2023 · Chimaev being slotted as the alternate and slipping into the title fight is the only exciting possibility of this card. DDP vs Strickland 2 is so uninspiring it makes me hope Strickland gets arrested or trips over an extension cord.

Mar 28, 2024 · Honestly the whole "is Khamzat a valid MW contender" debate isn't actually real so who cares lol. The whole thing is a mental gymnastic to help Khamzat haters cope. Khamzat runs through Rob in the first and afterwards people will say that a washed up Rob isn't worth the hype Khamzat has anyway.

Oct 27, 2024 · If Khamzat wins, he's already en route to smesh LHW and beyond If Dricus takes it, he'll become the GOAT meh-fighter Nobody wants to see Calmzat fighting a redneck who admits himself being brutalized by Chimaev in training

Gilbert showed he can still hang with the best and wasn't gonna be walked over, and Khamzat showed he has that DOG in him to fight through a War. Both took each other's best Shot, and kept going until the end. Crowd may have soured on Chimaev, and understandably so, but this fight was AWESOME.

Dec 30, 2021 · I know chimaev was a Swedish national champion as a wrestler and I also know he won a bronze medal as a junior in the Russian national championship which consensus from what I've seen as a layperson seems to be a much more impressive achievement considering Sweden's wrestling program isnt exactly good.

Nov 1, 2021 · Khabib should be a lot smaller than Khamzat at 170 seeing as Khabib can make 155 and Khamzat is fine fighting at 185. Yeah they can both fight at 170, but that doesn't mean it will be an even size matchup. 155 was considered the most competitive division in the UFC for years while Khabib was on top.
