Alex Periera did what Khamzat Chimaev was supposed to do

[MetaIIica]

When Khamzat first came onto the scene he was finishing low quality opponents with ease, and he said he wanted to fight next week, he wanted to smash usman then go up to 185 and smash Adesanya, well after that Khazmat has been fighting 1-2 times a year and barely squeezed wins against Usman and Burns and keeps missing 170. Meanwhile Pereira burst onto the scene AFTER Khamzat and achieved two championship belts before Khamzat had his first title shot, all while remaining humble, and stoic, as opposed to Khamzats extremely cocky attitude which he can't live up to anymore.

at teh same time khamzat is forgotten about now as we have ww studs like ian garry, jdm and shavkat carrying the division

Hard to make some noise outside of X when you can only fight in UAE or Saudis. That's on him though, that's what you get for being friends with a war criminal.

Sadly, yes.

Alex speed ran the UFC

That's a great observation, TS. In a perfect world Poatan would be getting hyped daily on these forums and in the MMA media. Scary, scary dude!

Alex ko’d two divisions by being one dimensional. Being great at mma is actually a flaw at this point. Elite striking is the way to go.

he’s not so bad. he’s a competent grappler at least. it’s nothing compared the way nggano rolled through the hw division throwing windmill strikes.

Oh yeah I am sure if Khamzat got the Pereira treatment, he wouldn't have done the same. lol

How do strikers that don't grapple at all do against Khamzat again? Oh that's right, they get flawless victoried

Pereira was the 185 lb champ and fucking cried about the idea of fighting Khamzat at 185 so he said no, 205 only. He knew what would have happened.

Khamzat was supposed to be that guy until he got a runny nose Lol

 

[Mr Dilkington]

Pereira got a nice big crowd pop when he was shown on the screen at 299.

Sneaky superstar in the making.

Khamzat was given special treatment, how many times did he miss weight and was given the fight? They literally had to switch up nate, jing liang, tony ferguson all because Khamzat missed weight.
Burns with his T-Rex arms was lighting up Khamzat in 2nd and 3rd rounds, usman was outstriking him, i can't imagine what Poaton would do to the guy.

The "Pereira treatment" lmfao!!! As if Khamzat doesn't get favourable treatment. Khamzat fans are reaching new levels of cope these days.

LoL Adesanya fucking took Pereira down. Imagine how ridiculous Khamzat vs Pereira would be.
Pereira gets the Kevin Holland treatment against Khamzat. I can't even imagine how hilarious these forums would be when Khamzat would make Pereira look like he belongs in your local regional promotion

 

[burningspear]

Khamzat, big noise little action, the antithesis of Mr Pereira.

 

[nonoob]

Good point, Khamzat WAS Gifted a perfect shot at 205 from Alex - and ducked out with nothing to lose and everything to gain .

then they will go from Poatan destroys Khamzat to "Poatan shit grappling, this was perfect matchup for Chimaev - who still sucks donkey ass btw"

Favorable match making also helps.

 

[cshireman4]

7 fights in the UFC and still hasn't gotten a title shot in either weight class while Alex's 4th fight at MW was for the belt? If/when Khamzat loses, then go off. Blaming him for not capitalizing on opportunities that were never made available to him is pathetic. Alex is a killer. Khamzat might be. It's not mutually exclusive and we don't have enough information about the latter to draw any meaningful conclusions. But to a 6'6" musclebound god like TS, anything less than walking on water should be shunned.

That fight was 2 years ago, that's a very long time to improve. Alex fought 3 times since then and is training daily with Glover. What has Khamzat done in that time? Pereira is probably harder to submit than Usman at this point. Wouldn't shock me if Khamzat's actually regressed
