To have respect means not generally to be scared. If you are a fighter for a living you choose fights mostly wiser than picking the most equal brawlingpartner on your own lvl all the time. Would be kind of suicidal @@ilatnusff5675 there is a businesswill and the dedication to yourself of willing to test the own borders and mess with the best. I think these 2 will have a hard time together..
....but he IS the bad guy himself after he earned the name Scamzat when he did his rug-pull bs on those naive unsuspecting sheeple fans! That would never be me! I've never given a penny to any celebrity or online 'influencer'....Fk that!....charity starts at home so why tf would I give my money to a complete stranger? --> it's just Never gonna happen, no sir!!
@@ilatnusff5675 You got the wrong idea, he isn't saying that is a weakness. Chimaev is actually a fairly nice and respectful person, but he tries to sell fights with trash talk. Chimaev was saying he would rather fight a bad guy because for one it's easier to trash talk them, for two he doesn't feel bad about fighting them like he did with Burns in front of his kids. He isn't pointing out a weakness, just quoting something he said before the fight was booked. There is no need to disrespect either man here and OP wasn't disrespecting Chimaev with their comment I think you may have misunderstood their intentions
@@creasedhorizon8931 thnx bro...saved me an explanation. Its so confusing for a 55 yrs old guy like me to get a 'mf' from a kid for simply saying both fighters are 'nice guys'...!!.🤔🤔☺️
@@imoeazy ah man idk, this is an exciting one. My heart says max and my brain say ilia. But after the bmf fight with Justin, idk what to expect from max anymore lol
I want Whitaker to win but khamzat wrestling might be a problem. I want max to win but he seems better at LW, so topuria probably gonna win. And I think ankalaev is gonna beat Rakic
If Whittaker come to any fight with the same focus he had the last 2, it's no good for the opponent, even chimaev. When he really get into this mod, he beat everyone including ddp....
I said something looked different about him in his last fight, in the face offs and when he was walking out. He looked crazy. He's got that look in his eye again in this face off. Looking forward to see if he comes out as vicious in this fight, gonna be a banger.
Aint nobody like Bobby Knuckles Guy is a Real BMF Any other high level contender qould of said fuck no after khazmat first drop out Not Bobby Knuckles, The man is a WARRIOR a KNIGHT !! Lets gooo BOBBY !!!!!
That's why when they asked Hamza months ago what you think of Whittaker, Hamza said he's a good man and I want to fight a bad man, but the fight organizers want this fight and Hamza doesn't refuse any fight.
Finally kamzat is fighting in the top 5 in his division so we can actually see if he can do what all his hyped up fans say, im excited, lets go Bobby 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
You could never say anything bad about Robert, he is probably the most likable guy in the UFC. Chimaev is a respectful guy, and he knows RW is a good guy, he just wants to fight the bad guys. Hear what Chimaev said about Burns and his kids. Bless both men
most people don't get the mental aspect of combat sport. Robert Whittaker has changed, he found his animal person in the cage. People think he's declining, not at all, the man has never been that lethal and focused. Chimaev is about to get owned.
Reaper looks unfazed , Khazmat looked a little nervous but who knows . He’s usually jawing at these face offs but not with rob 💯 he knows this ain’t gonna be easy .
Going with Khamzat on this one but I have a lot of respect for Whittaker man. He’s cut from that GSP cloth. Very honorable, a lot of respect & integrity. Rob is a True Martial Artist through & through. He definitely deserves to go in the Hall of Fame 1 day 💯
As an aussie! When he mentioned the kangaroo i bursted out laughing...i loved it haha rootin for me boy Rob Dog, be unaustralian if we dont back our own.
I feel an inexplicable feeling that this fight will either end quickly or be a complete domination, and I don’t know who the winner/loser is gonna be. I just have a feeling it’s not gonna be a close fight. Hopefully the MMA gods prove me wrong and they have an all out war.
This is it… his biggest challenge! If he gets past Rob, he’s made it and that title is within reach. If he makes it look easy, I fear for the MW division.
First time I'm seeing Khamzat show any sign he's intimidated or uncomfortable. More likely discomfort but I think he recognizes his biggest challenge yet in Robert!!
This is pretty much Robert's last shot at a title. If he loses, it's on to Bellator. Or possibly he'll be the guy Dana White uses to promote the next Rising star.
