Costa has really turned over a new leaf into a likable guy.
Detective Shields:
“I was there this morning working out with Paulo Costa, going over some techniques and just drilling, and all of a sudden Khamzat starts yelling at us and cussing Paulo like, ‘Well, you want to fight?’” Shields said (via MMA Junkie). “We look over, and it’s him and like 10 dudes.
“So Paulo jumps up and starts talking shit. I run over to back up Paulo because I don’t know if they’re trying to jump him, right? There were a couple of guys, so I wasn’t sure if they were going to jump him. There were a couple of guys that we didn’t recognize.
“So we run over and start talking shit and Khamzat keeps going, ‘Let’s fight now, let’s fight now,’ but as he’s saying that he’s walking down the stairs. It seemed like it was kind of more of an act for the cameras than anything. I guess someone said afterward that he was scoping us out for 10 minutes. If he wanted to fight Paulo, he would’ve run in there and started swinging on him, not stood outside the cage and say, ‘Let’s fight right now. Let’s fight right now.’
“It seemed kind of a weak thing. I guess that’s why he was upset because Paulo called him a fake gangster, and that was a perfect example of him being a fake gangster.”
Lol at chimaev bringing up the Izzy butt fuck thing. Interesting to see him initiate confrontation and then get caught off guard by Paulo cutting through all the bullshit with “I wana fight you, you wana fight me”?
I bet a lot more dudes are gona target his emotions if it gets him to stand and bang more like in the gilbert fight instead of wrestling
Why do you hate luke
Costa humanised him from a fighter perspective. Dudes a cup cake.
Tbh I think Costa starches him anyway and I’m not discrediting Chimaev by saying that
Khamzat says on the countdown- I left my dreams in chechnya and moved my family to Sweden.
He fuking serious? He got asylum, money, housing in sweden. What’s he mean?
Also lied to get refugee status. Hell of a fighter but he’s full of shit
Chimaev did say he wouldn’t be mad if Edwards And Usman had their trilogy that he would like to stay busy and would be interested in another bout at WW or even middleweight after the Diaz fight until the title shot
Khamzat went to Ireland to avenge khabibs honour but customs took one look at him and said, no fookin way
Haha he’s great fun
Wasn’t khamzat saying how he’ll smash and kill anyone and calling ppl out before the burns fight? Funny to see him get sensitive about someone playfully going after him when all he did was talk for a while. You’d think coming from his part of the world, dudes would be more thick skinned… I hope this fight gets made. Would be putting money on costa
“I dont fight with those kind of guys. Somebody already fucked him up”
Nigga you’re fighting Nate Diaz who has 11 losses
Khamzat is doing way too much talking imo. He really needs to crush Nate .
His part of the world is Sweden.
True. I keep forgetting that.
KHAMZAT BY WHATEVER THE F’ HE WANTS, COSTA IS A PUTO
Nate should get into khamzat head before the fight like he did Michael Johnson and cowboy . Khamzat fights reckless may be Nate’s only chance
Khamzat has been all talk since before the burns fight, the shit with edwards and then retirement because he hot a flu. Burns embarrassed him and he immediately went to fight everyone on 2 weeks notice to nah need a full camp.
Now he jumps to fight Diaz? Jesus can you pick a worse nane?
He has always been an act, this just proved it even more,
Hold me back bros oh wait im going down the stairs the wrong way
Khamzat on throw down against Diaz’s team:
“If they wanna fight before (Saturday), f*** the money, brother,” Chimaev told ESPN. “I’m gonna fight with them. I love to fight. It’s what I love – it’s my work to fight.
“I’ve been born for war. I’m inside a warrior. [I] don’t care. When the fights come, you don’t care about money or what’s behind it – just fight. We will see what happens.”
Khamzat costa incident
As far as possibly fighting Costa after Saturday night, Chimaev quickly dismissed the idea. While he has previously competed at middleweight, it doesn’t appear his return to 185 pounds will happen against Costa.
“Why [should I fight him]?” Chimaev said. “I don’t fight with that guy. Somebody already f***** him up in the ass.”
Sounds like a dick tuck
Like I said born for war, runs to sweden to avoid war lol
Cumsock is a phony lol
