Khamzat Chimaev and Paulo Costa altercation

I re-watched the Burns fight this weekend. He was very close to being finished by a puffy 155er. Costa would destroy him.

If he was a true savage he wouldn’t get his beard trimmed.

So Jones lost his last 3 fights :laughing: its strange how judges sometimes count scores, and referees helps fighters…

About which fighters win has more value for company, like left fights on contract, fans base, etc

I’ve always thought that taking a fight with Nate after beating Burns was unwise. Kham should be fighting Colby - that would be much more interesting style matchup and makes sense in terms of rankings

This is a decent angle for both, khamzat is already popular and does fight at MW when it suits him. He “should” breeze through diaz

Costa is getting a lot more popularity now and he is not intimidated by Khamzat. This could be a big fight.

Not sure khamzat would take it though, costa is a tougher fight than Izzy with this TDD and BJJ

Khamzat is great - he wants to fight everyone.

As long as he’s actively fighting I don’t mind his smack talk.

He has fought 1 guy with a pulse, a blown up 155er. He barely made it out with the win and many thought he lost. He didnt want to fight anyone without a full camp since, its easy saying anyone anywhere when you are fighting 3 guys nobody knows.

Now he is going after another blown up 155er who is even worse than burns.

The shit talk is just that, nothing comes of it againt anyone with a pulse. He ignored magney when he was calling him out, then magney got wrestlefucked by chisea and khamzat talks more shit.

We will see what he is made of but he talks more than he fights

Costa should come out and help corner Nate to build some heat and possibly get a post fight scrap going.

He wants to fight everyone unless they are of a similar size to him or have strong wrestling credentials.

Then he is up for anything

This. magny called him out twice and khamzat didnt say shit. I kill everybody!

Fight semi-retired LW Nate…

A lot of fighters ducked Khamzat as well.

No shame in going to war with Burns. Khamzat clearly won that fight and Gilbert is a legit top 5 WW that knocked down Usman and nearly finished him.

I’m going against the grain in this thread. Khamzat is a legit contender and a tough fight for any WW.

Funny, I could’ve sworn he wanted to fight Colby and Usman.

Is it happening?

He called Usman out when he had no business doing it ranking wise. Colby answered the call and now we have Nate Diaz.

Talk is cheap with this guy

I don’t think anyone would dispute this.

I just think all the talk is straight up BS clout chasing to hype himself and I am yet to see him reach as far in the cage as he does with his twitter

He wasn’t too eager to fight Neil Magny awhile back

All said and done looking at their two careers and all factors plus all the shit khamzat talked its shameful he is fighting Nate straight up

Agree and even if he destroys Nate it doesn’t really tell us how good he really is. Nate is pretty washed out at this point

Funny to see all you rednecks getting your Jimmies rustled by Khamzat.

I hope he keeps wining and making you hillbillies all mad.
