That was impressive. Safe to say, Covid might be on the past now for him, hopefully.

Khamzat is a scary dude.
The kid is special
Happy that’s is over him. He’s a fecking animal.
What’s amazing about Khazmat is that he reminds me of Khabib in regards to his issues with making weight. He’ll get better.
Khamzat is a nice guy. Carried Jinliang to the other siude of the octagon so that Hasbullah could watch.
Still only hit twice in 4 fights! It should not be possible at this level.
Look at their frames — he’s clearly too big for the welterweight.Khamzat is a nice guy. Carried Jinliang to the other siude of the octagon so that Hasbullah could watch.
@George Owen but if he can make it then absolutely go for it….

I’m Conor McGregor tonight. Well replace Buckfast with cocaine.
Yeah, as long as he can make the cut safely, he should keep going. Imagine a title eliminator vs Vicente Luque or some shit like that. Or vs Colby.
I also want to see him at MW though.
Exactly mate. There is always so much speculation.
Would you agree in saying that weight cuts can affect performance? I mean it a fighter is just too big… …I’m not saying he’s going to move up and take over the division… …but maybe look like fighter?
Chimaev will 100% want a title shot at 170 before moving up and I imagine he's only 1, maybe 2, more fights away from that with how he's dispatching people, I'd like to see him against either Burns or Chiesa next.
Feck, didn't realize this card started so early! Thank goodness I checked before calling it a night.
Feel like Volkov would be a beast but something is missing
Just in time for what should be 3 cracking fights!
Yeah the main 3, sad I missed Chimaev's fight though. But will watch it back later.
Time for some smeshing.
yeah, definitely affects performance, but it varies fighter to fighter. They have to do the calculations and decide what's the best move.
For example, let's say a 75% Khabib (just speculating here), was enough to dominate lightweight, but maybe at his 100% at 170lbs, he wouldn't be as successfull against the top of the division.
Khamzat has shown he can crush low-mid level middleweights, so I'm definitely interested to see how he would do vs the top of the division. But hopefully, he does a full WW run first to see how far he goes.
I agree with all of that. Excuse me for not replying a wall of text to you.
Makhachev is on top!
Oh my God !! A kimura
Different gravy.
Crazy, you know its coming but there is little to nothing you can do about it.
Was hoping to see him tested more than that tbh, impressive though.
How hard is a Kimura at this level? It’s unbelievable.Made it look way too easy.
Hasbullah
That's how you make a Dagestani pretzel
Let Islam fight Tony… after that he’ll take Lightweight.
I know that Hooker is very popular but I don’t think he should be talked about among the very elite fighters.
He doesn’t really have a lot of names in his win column and has come up short anytime he has fought one of the really top fighters.
Entertaining and a lot of heart, but I don’t think he will ever be a champion.
Probably the wrong fight to mention this after, because he has just fought an absolute machine, but I have watched most of his UFC fights and it’s always been the impression I have come away with.

He did get folded like a deck chair. He’s a good fighter though and he did get close to beating Poirier which just proves to you how this games is such small margines and how match-ups play their part.
Nice to see Colby Cheese Covington using the Connor McGregor threaten murder schtik.
Very little between Sandhagen and Yan. I like them both as fighters so don't even know how to go into this one
If Y an keeps it clean he should have thisVery little between Sandhagen and Yan. I like them both as fighters so don't even know how to go into this one
Hope Sandhagen wins but think Yan will
Yan should get it done in my opinion.Very little between Sandhagen and Yan. I like them both as fighters so don't even know how to go into this one
Although, would be kinda poetic if Yan loses to a flying knee, after kneeing Aljamain.
Thats true, but I just never have confidence in him if he is going up against a fighter with a big reputation. He has a lot more “names” on his loss list than on his win list.
Oliveira has shown how it’s still possible to improve and evolve as a fighter well into your career, but I am not convinced he has what it takes at the very top level.
Okay I’m just going to go and say it— I want Yan’s babies
Cory leaving his chin open way too often for my liking. Volume goes to Sandhagen, but Yan looking for that finish.
It’s very close,
Far more competitive that the Aljo fight
Far more competitive that the Aljo fight
I’d say it’s 1-1. Very even.
What a fight so far.
