News Khamzat Chimaev shuts down UFC 300 rumors - ‘Not fighting in Ramadan anymore’

[octagonation]

He no doubt would ragdoll Leon in the first rd, question is what happens if he can't finish him?

Leons grappling has improved. This is a competitive fight

Amazing

"The UFC 300 main event man... it'll wow you guys"

"178.5 lbs... Khamzat Chimaev has missed weight.."

I mean at least this makes more sense than him getting a TS at 185 but he should be behind Belal and Shavkat. He no doubt would ragdoll Leon in the first rd, question is what happens if he can't finish him?

Your 2nd sentence alone makes it a pretty exciting matchup story

All fairness and ranking order aside: they will go with the argument "Shavkat or Belal is not a name people want as a main or co-main for UFC300"

And I imagine (not condoning it) that they call pull the old card "Khamzat was always an option for the next title fight, you just forgot about that. Things got in the way for a while...now we finally get to do it"

I am hearing that fight will happen at 175 ibs. The 170 division is being moved to 175 and there will be a new division 165 probably conor will fight in that one

Khamzat confirmed he is not fighting at ufc 300.So either Leon/belal or DDP /Izzy

 

[Arcticman]

Please be true want to see the end of leon and he's boring fecking title reign and fights.
He is the cure for insomina

 

[akeller901]

I assume same way he knew about Kayla on 300 and Dustin not actually signing for 299

The fighters themselves?

You really think that Dana even if he had the fight would let the fighters leak it themselves or tell someone like Ariel? I guarantee Dana’s gone to extra measures just to make sure Ariel doesn’t leak something again or someone else does

Yeah seems legit. Anyone who believes the reports of 165 and 175 is gullible af.

I hate both of these matchups for UFC 300

So he knew about Kayla and Dustin’s situations because he guessed? He’s psychic maybe?

Kham ain’t fighting he’s closing a deal on some new waterfront real estate in the desert

If Dana fails to bring Khamzat on UFC 300 at any capacity whether it is against Izzy, Cannonier, Leon or DDP he has sort of failed UFC 300.. The question is who can you honestly bring that is left. Adesanya is retired alot of people need to understand that Sydney was his last fight. Jones is injured. There is nobody else.

Not reading through this thread

was this Ariel saying which fights would be good to make?

Or does he have actual insider information that the wheels are turning behind the scenes on these fights?

if it's the former..God I hate these MMA social media accounts

 

[r-harper-1]

The disrespect for Belal is insane. They'd rather go with a guy who will 100% miss weight and possibly ruin the event.

It’s worth the risk ….Muhammad is BORING

Ariel is such a loser.
Dude throws sh*t at the wall, hoping it sticks.
His credibility continues to plummet.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

no way khamzat cuts to 170 ever again, DDP vs Khamzat is a fun fight

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

And Ariel bases this on what exactly

Just making shit up. The State Department still isn't giving Khamzat a US work visa, unless he just wades in through the Rio Grande, of course.

This would be a great result tho... good fight that would not be for the title.

I'd be happy with that.

If Borz wins he earns a title shot, and it'd be a very promotable fight.
