Usman piecing him up on the feet

[Arm Barbarian]

3rd round, LANDING on Chimaev.

Gotta give Kamaru props.

10 days notice and keeping the young up and comer honest.

 

[Ernouleto]

Chimaev had to lay and pray to beat 10 day notice Usman. Cringe and dissappointing

 

[ThePimblettEra]

Yep.

Imagine a prime Usman in a fight that's not short notice?
Yikes...

He had way more than the days notice, UFC knew way earlier that costa was pulling out

 

[Huligani]

I'll say this again: Khamzat couldn't dominate a 2 week notice Welterweight, his cardio was no better than Usman's and he lost a lot of exchanges on the feet to Usman, yet he's getting the title shot over Du Plessis who destroyed the legit #1 contender at the time. Embarrassing.

 

[cws80us]

Yeah. He looked gassed after the 1st but hung in there. Good performance given the circumstances.

This. Disappointing and boring

 

[Travis Alexander]

Chim is as overrated as I’ve said from day 1

 

[TheBulge]

If this had been a few years ago @WW I think Usman would have taken it.

 

[morrisondafalln]

Yeah his gas tank is horrible. Can barley go 3 rounds. Folks may want to taper their expectations.

 

[Drazyx]

Lay n praying, to try to get a very very close and lackluster decision.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Yep.

Imagine a prime Usman in a fight that's not short notice?
Yikes...

And at 170lbs rather than 185lbs which he's never fought at? Lol. 36 year old on a 2 fight losing streak, takes fight on 10 days notice u0 a weight class. Come on.

 

[Zab3ast]

Yep.

Imagine a prime Usman in a fight that's not short notice?
Yikes...

He would still get controlled like a weak chicken on the ground

He was on his hands and knees for a whole round

 

[Drazyx]

That 10-8 is a joke

 

[Jman]

Khamzat would get drowned by Du Plessis. Dude has NO CARDIO.

 

[surgeyou1]

Khamzat looks very mortal if he can't get that finish in the 1st. He's got to improve his cardio/pacing bigtime in a 5 rounder.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

Unlikely, son.

 

[aali14]

Yeah he's not beating Usman if he was challenging for the belt at WW, 5 rounder and all

 

[humdizzle]

i didn't see championship level there. but he won. he still has time to improve things.

zabit level cardio though

 

[Zab3ast]

Khamzat would get drowned by Du Plessis. Dude has NO CARDIO.

Dupussy has no ground game first round submission

 

[Ivancho]

Not really all those punches were sloppy and didn't landed ...just DC and the other guy were overreacting oooooooooooooohhhhhh ohhhhhh.. I have to mute
