Very possible we see Chimaev vs Nickal for the MW title by end of 2023 or middle of 2024

Not to toot my own horn, but we’re hearing Darren Till noise. Could my prediction be on schedule?

I don’t know how much is gas tank and how much is deviated septum plus CoVid lungs. All reports say he trains like madman but it’s hard to go long rounds when you don’t breathe well. I coached a wrestler years ago who had asthma and one underdeveloped lung. He was a 3 time state placer won a lot of matches in the first period but if you got him to the third period, he was toast. I sort of see Khazmat being like that.

Just seeing this. He got signed after the first fight.

He probably got signed BEFORE the first fight.

Your money might be tied up a couple years while you have to wait for the fight to maybe happen but Chimaev opened a 4-1 fav over Nickal and is already at 3-1 now. You can bet Nickal at +250.

It wasn’t that long ago that he wanted to retire forever because of his Covid lungs. He looked like he would have lost in a 5 round fight to burns

Wow. Didn’t know you could enter a future Bet THAT early

I thought he lost to Burns.

So did a lot of giys

Solid and reasonable gameplan. Good shit Slowshot.

Weird how Khamzat is calling out Alex so much.

He barely said shit to Israel.

It would be easy money for Hazmat, but he has to win two fights at 185 before he get a shot, to give the perception of the ufc being a legitimate sport.

I don’t think Hazmat beats Bobby. It’s like that Rock Paper Scissors meme where Izzy beat Bobby and Bobby beats Hazmat

Dude lost to Gilbert Burns…Khamzat isnt walking thru anyone thats elite

With that logic I could say Hendo lost to Goes and Newton. Despite that Hendo went to become a double champ in PRIDE, win the Strikeforce LHW belt, beat the GOAT HW and almost won the UFC MW title in his last fight.

Most people feel Chimaev beat Burns and the judges said he did.

I’ve watched the fight three times now and honestly don’t know how anyone can give the fight to Gilbert

And I give Gilbert more credit than most people here do

I though Hazmat beat Burns but I think he would have lost if the fight was 5 rounds.

Styles makes fights and I think Hazmat beats Alex. If he gets to avoid Costa and Bobby he might win

Burns 1 and 3…just like OMalley vs
