@Carl Drogo thank you! Lol it’s sad watching grown ass men turn into fangirls. These dudes worship the grounds other humans walk on “this made me like him more” 💀😂😂
Khamzat has always appeared to me like someone who actually genuinely likes other people and would like to be friends with everybody. His "trashtalk" has never been mean, it's always just friendly banter. It's just that on the other hand he loves fighting, that's why he's hyped up to beat the opponent but never with actual ill intention and malice.
There was this moment in the fight where Burns first gave a little smirk/smilie to Khamzat and he returned that little grin. It was probably my favorite moment in the whole fight. Kind of like a mutual respect “oh we are ALL the way in the trenches tonight and we both getting PAID”. Haha what a fight
Everyone wanted a test, he got it and he PASSED. Anyone that thought he was gonna run over Burn is delusional. He just beat the #2 WW in the world and people have the nerve to say the hype isnt real? Shows you how fickle some fans are. This experience will only make him BETTER and that should excite you
95 percent of internet comments that now all of a sudden will magically have taken a step back saying they never counted Burns out. Internet is truly a magical place...
@Carl Drogo clown you really think usman gonna beat chimaev or beat him easily? And just saying I think he will beat Izzy. He just beat #2 without playing it smart and going to his wrestling a bit more. This guy has a lot more.
There's different layers to this shit. And its being built on top of other peoples hype. I wanted to see him fight somebody who could challenge him. And we saw that.
KHAMZAT IS THE AGRESSOR IN THE FINAL ROUND Khamzat (rank 11) vs. Burns (rank 2) clearly an IMPRESSIVE WIN for a guy to fight a RANKED 2. Hard challenge. Better respect that guy (KHAMZAT) 🐺 . . .this proves khamzat GOT A CHIN. Bloody war 🐺
@@safashaikh2894 It's in the video mate. Khamzat says Burns kids said to him "hey you gonna fight my daddy" and Khamzat was all shook now that he saw Burns as a person and not a killer like him.
This fight will stand the test of time as one of the greatest fights ever. Khamzat is an absolute skillful savage just as we thought, Burns came in and showed he’s cut from that same cloth. Neither guy is capable of rolling over and quitting. Absolutely amazing display of courage and a warriors spirit. So much respect for both men!
The fact that he went to check on burns and then comes out and honestly critiques himself and seems genuinely disappointed in himself for not listening to his coach shows that he is mature and will get even better.
PEOPLE DOUBTING BURNS SHOULD WIN THIS FIGHT LOLs. 😅🤭 KHAMZAT IS THE AGRESSOR IN THE FINAL ROUND Khamzat (rank 11) vs. Burns (rank 2) clearly an IMPRESSIVE WIN for a guy to fight a RANKED 2. Hard challenge. Better respect that guy (KHAMZAT) 🐺 . .this proves khamzat GOT A CHIN
@@marcrogers1918 What do you expect him to do? That's the leader of his country. Who knows if Chechen people even know about Kadyrovs crimes due to national propoganda. Do you lose respect for every athlete who's been to the white house over the past 20 years? Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden are all war criminals. Or is that not enough of a big deal because the near million civilians they killed combined are just random brown people in the middle east?
Translation of the questions asked in Russian (the end of the video) “Hey Khamzat, in the first round you managed to successfully wrestle with Gilbert, but later on you did not really try to take him down, why is that? Did you feel any kind of threat or your coaches set a particular goal? - “No, there was no threat for me. The initial plan was to show him some wrestling and my strength in that department so he would second guess himself and allow me to beat him up easier. All in all, I wasn’t in danger. - “You dropped him with the jab first, why do you think you couldn’t finish him after that and how close do you feel you were to doing that? - “I don’t know, I don’t even remember how close I was. I recall that I dropped him and wanted to go for a finish, but then I figured that he starts swinging and I couldn’t find the target properly, that’s why I thought of allowing him to stand up and try to knock him down (out) again. It is what it is (about how it eventually went down). - “What about your interaction with Gilbert’s children, did it happen before the fight and what (how) happened? - Yeah, I met them in the hotel the day before the fight. I went down to the lobby and they were passing by and said:” oh it’s you who fights our daddy”. I was like: “oh shit, I am not really willing to see (somebody’s) children right before the fight, you know, think about his (Gilbert’s) family. I am an emotional guy and it’s hard for me to see kids at fights. I would never bring my own children to (see) fights.
He hit the jackpot tonight. He beat the #2 ranked guy but he also got humbled. As he said he thought he'd just run though him & fell in love with having a war. He gained valuable experience tonight that will make him better.
This man just put on a performance that everybody that watches combat sports loves to see. Win or lose this guy will draw attention every time . He has that Nate Diaz appeal to him.
People are VERY underestimating how big this was. He went from having four fights unranked, and being number 11, to fighting the number 2 RANKED man in the WORLD, that's out of 7 BILLION people, and not only best him, but he got him on the ground and ground and pounded him, he stood up with him and looked crisp and clean, he took the shots like a champ too, this is WAY bigger and impressive than people are giving it credit for. But that being said we ARE all pretty spoiled and take shit for granted. Lol
This interview showed why he will one day be champ. He realized he was being too eager and chasing rather than fighting a more technical fight, he also will now have even more motivation to improve his skill set now he knows that the top 3 guys are no pushovers. I can't wait to see how much he improves in his next fight!
LMAO you’re actually right haha, he really did, at around 7:15. It’s so fucken cute that he so obviously sees Till almost as a big brother to always emulate; in things like accent, humour, mannerisms etc
That 'daddy' completely tore him apart, look at how he looks after the fight. If he wants to fight a 'killer' I believe he may be wheeled out of the Octagon.
I think you guys may be missing his point. Khamzat gave Burns the utmost respect after the fight. He said he needed this war from Burns. What he meant is: He wants to fight another killer "guilt free". Khamzat said it was hard for him to hurt Burns after he saw Burns children! Do that make a little more sense? Of course, Burns is a killer. However, Khamzat wants to fight other killers "guilt free". He don't want to be thinking about the man's children...
@@Nate___ I see no excuse with Khamzat. He certainly didn't make any. Nor was he responsible for any hype. From his perspective he looked at the lay of the land at the UFC and sensed weakness. He challenged the #2 guy and split his head open! Love him or hate him, Khamzat is a savage warrior. However, I noticed two mistakes that he made: 1. He stop listening to his coaches during the fight. 2. He fought during the fasting Month of Ramadan! I don't think Muhammad Ali ever did that. Insha'Allah, when he battle Colby and Usman, he should not be fasting. He is going to need all of his strength... One thing I believe is going to happen is Jihad - no doubt! He is now #2
Honestly, I like him even more now. Yes, he didn’t get some crazy finish, but he showed his heart! He displayed his “human” side and proved that he got a lot more in him than just «smesh, kill everybody». Borz certainly has a bright future! Can’t wait to see him fight again.
Im a Khamzat Fan and watched this fight just few hours ago. I feel bad for Burns.In my opinion it was a draw atleast , and they gave the win for Khamzat because his a business for UFC now. And the ring saved Khamzat in the second round!Do not kill me :D :D
Mad that he fell into the trap Burns did when fighting Usman, trying to chase the finish but still won. He actually looked raw today and yet so good, this guys potential is unreal.
dude was in fasting mode which puts him at 40% effectiveness, n still won while disregarding his coaches tactics. imagine him at 100% & sticking to the game plan. insane
Gimme a break, sounds like the "30% Usman" excuse he used to make. There's more then one Muslim fighter, Ramadan isn't an excuse. He went from basically d level guys to c level in li Jiang to A plus, of course it wasn't going to be easy, common sense tells you that. Gilbert was inches from being the undisputed champion of the world for God sakes.
@@Justice4Skye clearly you never fasted, id you had you would know that literally atleast 35-45% the power is lost and cardio is reduced. It is heavily taxing!
Nothing but respect and love for Burns. I loved that fight, Khamzat finally showed ability to take some big shots and still keep the pressure up. When he learns to regulate that pressure and know when to go for the kill, I have no doubt he can become one of the greatest threats ever at WW. Very much looking forward to the potential Colby/Khamzat matchup. Great card all around.
Khamzat has my respect for being humble in victory, expressing his love for family and friends, shitting on hollow questions, and continually improving his English. The aura of invincibility is slightly diminished but he is a complex character with a colossal enthusiasm for fighting.
This was an insane fucking fight. I was screaming. Excited for what a more calculated and experienced Khamzat will look like in 1-2 years. Monster potential!
His coach was screaming ”slåss inte”, which basically means dont trade with him. I hope his coaches make him understand that he should use his nice striking technique to set up takedowns because that will open up the KO potential, later in the fight
Yeah, what a great advice from your corner. "Dont trade with him". Allstars is a joke of a gym. They ruined Gustafsson and will ruin Khamzat. He needs to do a Usman and go to a new gym. Wittman has done wonder with Usman's striking.
I truly don’t believe the hype train is dead. His haters think so but for me no. This guy just beat the number 2 WW in the entire world and almost finished him twice. How can his haters begin to even gloss over that? He’s the real deal and he absolutely needed to be pushed like this. This is just the beginning of his journey
When I saw Khamzat's first quick takedown of Burns I thought this was going to be a lopsided fight. Then he got completely away from his grappling and went for the knockout. Gilbert's chin is unreal. He'll be unbeatable if he patterns his style after Khabib... his grappling is off the charts and he can smesh people.
@@MrJesusdoesntsave age and attrition will be the only way Usman slows down. I think it would be smart for Chimaev to fight Colby and Edwards first. Especially in a 5 round main event, to get that experience and test his cardio out.
Khamzat is practicing mma only for three years and it was enough for him to defeat 2nd ranked welterweight. I think with more experience he will be able to become champion
Ive had the same mind state before. The "too keen to get the finish" kind of offence leaves you open.. and Khamzat def looked like thats what he was doing. Great fight. Great lessons. Can only get better. On and up.
Thought the same, its that feeling of invincibility you have when fighting in a new sport then reality hits you in the face. He definitely has some Thanos-like chin.
He definitely looked emotional, that bit where he slapped Burns or whatever after the bell might show that he has a problem fighting with his heart rather than his brain.
Not gonna lie I counted him out when he took that big oerhand by he cage and gilbert hit him on the way down.. That fight had me on the edge of my seat
Same. Im so used to knocking heads off that when its not happening I tend to over commit to chasing the finish. Definitely something khamzat needs to avoid doing see as the competition from know on will be unforgiving of any mistakes.
Khamzat needed this fight. ALL he did was trade punches which is his weakness. Wrestling BY FAR is what he is superior at and he didnt even barely try it. Once they get his head right, he will be unbeatable. His coaches were SCREAMING at him to shoot and change levels and he just kept swinging. That was just inexperience on Khamzat's part. Once he actually deploys wrestling with his striking. I am not sure anyone will beat him.
@@TonyMontana-vt2io can you blame him for this? he was tested for the first time and definitely passed it. he won't dominate anyone on top of the division, everybody knows that. but you can't expect him to say that in public
Khamzat is my new favorite fighter, I love this fighter all the way around. Gilbert showed up big time, just breathless that these two athletes gave us a HUGE piece of themselves. Thank you so much!!!!!
This fight reminds me of the time Jones fought Gus for the first time: an absolute war that was a learning curve for Jones and made him feel human which in the long run improved him as a fighter
@@johnharris3335 could have went either way ? Not at all Khazmat is an Unranked fighter and he fought the second best in the division and dominated ? Come on now
This interview from Hamza shows me this man very smart and intelligent. He realized his mistake and proudly talk about it . Also he is very humble. I am fan of this man . From very rough county to superstardom. I love it
I thought the opposite. If you want to see how a smart fighter works, watch Khabib. If Khamzat is such a great fighter then standing toe to toe and getting hit hard many times is the opposite of smart. As for the interview, he still talks about smeshing opponents, which is hardly humble. Gilbert is the truly humble one here: never says anything disrespectful.
@@duncanwilson2926 he is aiming high, and has the potential to live up to it. That's his mindset, and that's what makes greats, that doesn't make him not humble imo
Khamzat made alot of fans last night. I love the guys attitude and what he brings to the sport. Happy to see Darren working alongside Khamzat and knuckling down grafting. God bless
Till will gain a lot from their relationship while Khamzat will loose on every aspect. It's a little far fetched but imagine Khamzat teaming up with a guy like Jiří Procházka. Two straight up warriors.
I wish more fans would realize that these pressers and interviews are ancillary. We are lucky to see what we see but fighters don't owe you answers at all. I love Khamzat's idgaf answers. It's ultimate fighting, not ultimate youtube.
Actually, they owe everything to the fans. The Ufc underpays them and does not allow external spinsorship so their income depends on fan popularity. But I agree, we should be grateful for this content and respect the fighters for doing it.
His super confidence is on another level. I like when he goes straight to the point, maybe because of his fairly limited English but he made it clear cut. The best part is that he's going home to his momma and eating "his" food, lol.
Khamzat is either a) ill-disciplined b) crazy as we thought because his corner kept telling him to stick to the game plan and kept shouting stick to grappling but as you can tell he only tried once in the first round and the rest didn’t really attempt it… both fighters were amazing but I would’ve been more interested to see this guy stick to the game plan and see how he did
I know…. Idk why he didn’t try and grapple more. Get some more takedowns. It worked well in round one. Even if he didnt want to enter the guard, takedown gets ya some points at least
Bro how can you just blatantly lie and get 20 likes. How? His corner did not tell him to stick to grappling. They told him to not brawl with burns, and to fight more technical with straight 1 2s. I just don't get it.
Brutally honest, ''You don't think i'm tough ''' He'll learn a lot from that fight, GSP 's loss early in his career and Khabib almost losing to Tibau made them much better fighters.
Smart Kid : "Hey you are fighting my daddy!!" Killer : "$**t....F**k... Dont want to kill someone's daddy" Kid knew how to play mind games with a killer ;))
absolutely humble dude, GUYS he is on Ramadan... so he was slow, he just wanted to make something amazing, but I didn't work so he needed to adapt and just make scorecard high
He spent the better part of 15 minutes fighting in the worst way possible and still beat the #2 guy. This fight was like a chisel to Chimaev and it chipped away the clearly rough edges.
When Khamzat improve his cardio, acts with brains, leaves his ego at home and learns from his mistakes from the Burns Fight, Khamzat becomes a monster. He has everything you need, the rest he can learn. Alone his strong punches, wow. He have steel in his hands. He didn't use his best weapon and still won against Burns. Khamzat needed a fight like that to wake up. He felt too safe and didn't take Burns seriously. He also got infected by the hype of the fans, just before the fight he was much too relaxed.
As much as i enjoy watching him and Till together, he needs to to keep Till away from his corner on fight nights, you can tell he was barely focused when they were warming up backstage and Darren prob encouraged him to go fight like that ignoring his own coaches.
Mad respect to both these amazing fighters who put in a show for us all, while keeping respectful to one another even in the aftermath. F’in amazing sportsmanship!
He cares about the win he just saying he’s not thinking about whether he won 2 to 3 rounds or how close the fight was ...he saying I knew I was taking my 50Gs ...meaning he knew he was gonna win ...if he’s happy with 50Gs that means that was the winning amount for him. Had he lose he probably get 35000 or 30000 ...he still learning how to speak clearly on what he means
@@gr6gh Connor gets tens of millions when he fights,he's on that trajectory give it another year or two of still being undefeated and he will get their. HE WILL HAVE A LIQUOR ALCOHOL BRAND CALLED SMESH BROS
Im so glad he acknowledged his carelessness . I thought he would pound his chest and take this as a huge dub. Hopefully he comes back very much improved
@@mudassirkamal5289 yeah is fights haven’t been that entertainingly lately but he’s a counter striker so blame Vettori and rob as well. I think once he moves up to LHW he’s gonna get another reality check because rakic yuri Yan are all killers there
He got paid 50 grand for this fight, damn they're getting robbed literally just the sold out arena earns around 1m that night that's minus the sponsors and ppv
@Alexandre Daigneault i just did some research and you're incorrect. Khazmat made around 80k in dollars that night as that is what he is guaranteed that is equivalent to around 60k in his currency, he made a 50k bonus for this fight in dollars which is equivalent to 39k in his currency so overall in his currency he made around 100k for this fight minus the tax he has to pay out, also his camp and his coach ect so realistically he probably walked away with around 65k in his pocket. That is not enough and UFC need to held accountable
One more fight at this level then he'll be ready for Usman. He's jumping from unranked to fight with no. 2 , it's the first time he's ever been tested. Definitely a good experience for him en route to the belt
And early in the fight, people are forgetting this, but not only did he TAKE a MASSIVE right power punch from burns and just stood there and kept swinging, with crisp clean striking, and foot work still, but he also took burns down and ground and pounded him, damn near won it right there. If you watch, burns was in despair at that time. He had to really turn it up to get back up from that shit. Not even usman was able to do that to burns and keep him down for ground and pound like he did. I can't WAIT until this dude trains with what he's taken away from his fight last night, has ANOTHER two or three fights, and learn from THEM too, and then fights usman. It's not going to take long for him to be another Jon Jones in welterweight or even better.
@@johnbraucher1499 are you gonna ignore Burns also dropped him as well? an almost finished him? Usman literally dropped Burns with a Jab not a Power punch like a Hook or Overhead
I’d honestly say give him a next two more fights and one of them have to be Vincente luque , edwards or even masvidal. After seeing burns catch him and even wobble him times in this fight, I’d love to see a technical striker and not brawler to go up against him
Him "looking human" & getting rocked because of recklessness will only blind people to the fact in his first test he was outclassing the #2 ranked fighter for a majority of the fight. He switches stances easily, showed great kicks & as we all know is a monster wrestling. He vs Chaos will be unreal.
His ortho to south paw switches are so smooth, but yeah he was reckless. Colby is a great night fight but he need to improve his cardio because he was gassin
Khamzat was rocked and was lucky to win. Two connected punches after he got rocked and 30 more seconds after the bell and you'd have a different winner
yeah he almost ended the fight early with that sneak jab he always does but Gilbert is tough if the fight went on any longer Khamzat would have submitted him out of instinct
Love this guy! Hopefully he stays genuine and doesn’t get “Hollywooded” he just wants to fight, that’s it. Happy with $50,000 while his boss makes $50,000,000. Snakes among the sheep.
Dana is the highest paying fight promoter there is. The fact is he has to make that money to keep the UFC in business. If you feel that way, rescue them with your fight company and pay them 100 million dollars. 50,000 is a good fighting fee as they make more money in one fight,then we do all year.
@@rwl123r I have to disagree with you. The UFC does not need to make the amount of money it does to survive the bars lately have been set high and in business with investors they expect to see you reach that bar every time, since their pockets become deeper and deeper. These fighters train year round, they are not waitresses that come in for a night shift and then leave with tips. They earn and deserve much more than the UFC pays them and it’s a known fact. The problem is that the “UFC” the brand, is known as a worldwide platform. To compete in the UFC is to compete with the top fighters in the world. Many pure bread fighters fight in the UFC for that reason, not the money. They earn their money, it’s not easy. And for this reason they take advantage of the fighters and pay whatever they want to pay them. It is a business.
@@TopboyP you could disagree,but you would be wrong. What do you think would happen? He would walk in and say " Hi I'm Dana White." And everything falls into place. It is obvious you haven't ever researched how much a venue cost. in 2021, the average venue he has to fork over 5 million dollars and that doesn't include permits, security, liable insurance and venues he calls in. Plus he has to pay for promotion swag for the venue. Then after all of that he pays his fighters. So yeah, 50 million for all the work he has done is about right. Like I said before, you can save them all by opening your own fight promotion and pay the fighters 100 million dollars. No one cares honestly about these fighters, they are independent contractors, so if they want .ore money, negotiate a better deal
@Butwhy first of all that's a lie. Only champions of the UFC fight once per year contracted. They only need to fight once. People like Nate Diaz, fights more then once. Hell even Randy Couture at 44 fought more then once a year. Connor and Khabib if I remember correctly fought twice in one year ( I think not 100 percent sure) if fighters are complaining knowing what they get paid and still go through with it, that's on them. Plus there pay doesn't even really matter. Their social media and endorsements is where they make there real money.
@Butwhy oh boy, It is Dana White who said that so I make it up with him. I am saying they are contracted to one, I didn't say limited to one. Do you even read what people write? I said Randy Couture fought more then once at the age of 44 as a champion.
Great interview. His attitude towards fighting reminds me of what all fighters should be like before politics and fame get involved. He just wants to fight everyone and make money to provide for his family. I truly believes he lives by this creed. It’s good for the fight world. Good for the UFC.
@@desireewhite2379 brother he can pay for internet but he didnt care enough to change the network sim and all. He was like i will go back and connect to wifi of hotel. I am pretty sure ufc building have wifi too but he didnt care
@Desiree White he has a sweedish sim that doesn't work here. That's what he said. He said he was going to get the internet swapped or something like that so he could make calls in the US
Love guys like Khamzat and Gilbert. They put everything on the line and don’t take the easy fight. They want to fight the best because they know that’s what it takes to be the best.
Anyone think that he looked like he was holding back tears after talking about Gilbert’s kids, apologizing for hitting him and him fighting for his family too? I absolutely love this kid.
He needed this, he needs to calm down and fight way smarter, he's such a beast the finish will come when he doesn't force it. Every smart martial artist knows this!
This was such a good experience for Khamzat. I knew it would take someone like Gilbert who could prevent the take downs to really challenge Khamzat. It was such a close fight, I had Gilbert winning, but both guys were on top of their game.
Hes right, he didnt need to put power in every punch, plus he got the takedown so easily why would he not shoot again. He wanted to stand and bang for crowd's excitement honestly
