Khamzat Chimaev, elite, high level wrestling |Chimaev vs Hermansson Freestyle Wrestling Analysis 

its been a blast watching chimaevs career..

@Lij fi you're right sadly, but the people who actually followed the sport knew he was going to be the next big thing

@Lij fi Yeah I would definitely say his rise was the least exciting but there was definitely a lot of buzz about him as the future champ early on. It's just every time he'd step up, he'd miss weight or end up taking long periods of time off. Whereas the other guys were a lot more full steam ahead kind of thing, Khabib's rise was more of a slow burn.

@@akindtroll28 Exactly this. It wasn't the same as Jones, McGregor because it wasn't really in our faces. But you could tell when you watched him fight. Especially from the RDA fight onwards.

@@sarcasticgenius8563 I never watched khabibs early fights, was he boring or something? I always remember it was known that he was probably the best but there was some weird stigma or something? I ask because I felt like that was the narrative and he definitely wasn't boring when I started watching his fights so I'm genuinely curious? Seemed like a "he's not exciting, not going for finishes, doesn't deserve a push" kinda thing but I didn't see those fights?

Ohhhh you ain’t kidding haha

Bisping is also watching the tail section 🚋

😂😂😂😂😂

choo choo m'fuckers

Anddddd I'm on board ok great

Khamzat is too strong for any welterweight. He would school Usman

@@mattr27 😐

@Emriko Rex He walks around 190 to 195. He's said this on the JRE

@@mattr27 Kamaru is just as big as khamzat

@@mattr27 I hope you realize there is no way Hermanson would have beat Usman in a wrestling match. Post college in 2011, Usman was ranked in the top 10 in the nation in freestyle wrestling. TOP 10 IN THE NATION. I get Khamzat is undefeated in Sweden's nationals. But I'm sorry to say, Sweden's wrestling is trash compared to American's wrestling. There is a reason he has 100% takedown defense. I honestly don't see anything yet that would make me believe that he's a better wrestler than Usman. If we are talking about grappling, then Khamzat is ofc better bc of his top control. But as far as taking someone down and keeping them down, Usman is 2nd to none in the UFC.

I have heard nothing but praise for the guy! Nobody is slating him around here. Why would they he's an unknown really, making a really good start in MMA. The only people who are gonna be slating him are the guys he's gonna end up fighting imo.

He’s going to smash Usman I think Usman will retire v soon he don’t want that smoke

Hazmat* Stop mispronouncing his name ffs

@@DailyCorvid "he as an unknown" -Proceeds to get the most viewed vid in ufc channel's last 100 vids and soon to beat fucking burns lmao my dude

@@timmytyson6037 Not a single person past your good self can even spell the guys name let alone know what the hell he's supposed to be famous for... I am not saying he's bad, I am saying nobody knows how good he is yet. He is an unknown I don't care how many RU-vid views he gets, Jake Paul gets more it proves fucking nowt.

Sheer poetry in motion, but just another day for Uncle. The GOAT, obv.

knockout power, good athleticism, superb wrestling....only thing that threatens his title acquisition is his health

@@chochoproductions5720 and cardio and will.

@@user-hh2is9kg9j Anyone who trains as hard as Khamzat is going to be tough as hell. His cardio definitely could be a problem

@@user-hh2is9kg9j We don´t know about the cardio, and will? seriously? Guy´s willing to die for real before surrender.

Spider Silva back in the day had similar if not more hype as well. We still have yet to see how good his striking n striking defense is tho

Lol at 9 years old he was but as an adult too? Didnt find anything about it as an adult

Isn't he (Hermansson) from Norway

@@Red_Neck Hes swedish but moved to norway

@@sabuomarrr1 Got it 👍

Thats like being the tallest guy at a dwarf party.

That Herman San guy looked like he just showed up for a paycheck after a night of drinking

I’ve never seen a fighter like Chimaev before he’s really a special freak of nature. Can wrestle and maul people like Khabib, has one punch KO power and has pre fight McGregor mind games can’t wait to see him become champ

If this guy lived at a different age he would really invade countries and do all kind of stuff

@@Amzyy if his next 3 fights are -usman -izzy -glover, honestly, i pick him against all of them and damn i think chimaev could submitt Francis in one round to be honest I think only guys like Daniel cormier, jon jones, stipe, even corey anderson, curtis blaydes could beat chimaev, much bigger guys with good wrestling

Khamzat started wrestling at five years old

Same man

Joke

He hasn’t even fought a top 5 person yet!! Calm down

@@markon8242 They said the same thing about Khabib. Your opinion is devoid of logic should you choose to reflect on it.

It's not a big deal for someone so talented and motivated, sure he can

Most agree with that. He's a more aggressive khabib imo

Only with God’s will. Nothing is guaranteed in this life.

@@Leon-sq5mc So God is not guaranteed to exist?

lol wait till he faces Colby or usman

Which weight class?

Cheal was never close to being considered a top tier wrestler

@@chriscooper6206 we don’t admit Chael P wasn’t ever anything but the best around here

@@chriscooper6206 You heathen, wash your mouth with soap and vinegar, Uncle WAS the Top Tier! Dad burn newbies!

Legged??

judo isn't for the cage, its for throwing people on their heads on concrete in a street fight and walking away leaving them knocked the fuck out trying to understand what happend to them

Judo is useful for takedowns n wrestling tho

@@northeast4665 yeah I’m just commenting on Chael saying “no one uses Judo” and I was saying Khabib definitely used a lot of Judo.

@@Yasmuraz Isn't Khabib also a black belt judoka?

Unc took the jab. Pray for him.

Fantastic and correct.

Exactly. But if he doesn't fight him and runs. It demises it worse than a lose

@@Topher_1551 Not worse, it becomes an unknown.

@@WaqManVR good point

Remember Usman running his mouth about Colby is his Buster to his Ali. Well guess what Usman lol

Facts usman been sliding by doing trilogies with lightweights but he don't wanna really fight this dude he talking about "don't let the sport retire you" but at first he was like I'll fight anyone anywhere!!! Lmao

I cant wait for khamzat to humble him.

He actually got to 10-0, but referee either didn't know or didn't want to give him the 4 points from last feet-to-back throw, coz it would've end the match. Game over in 1st round.

Bro 205 to big type in Jon Jones and khamzat you Will see size diffrence

Just wach the video of khamzat with geathje, or when he face off chiesa you will realise he is just a big natural 170er. And he usually is 195 out side of fight camp. He has the size to compete at 185, but 170 is his natural weight class, the fact he can take multiple fights on short notice at 170, just shows you how comfortable he usually make the weight.

I think a couple of years in 170, then 185 a few more years, and if he still feels like competing at a later age, he can go even higher. With his body type and time on his side, he can do these things. But 170 at a later age might be too much for him due to weight cuts.

@@hyperbeast134 khamzats skills are beyond that of jones

He had a bit of problems making weight in his last fight I know .but Like What half a pound lol? No sht He quickly came back from a near death experience from covid and had a surgery, of course making weight wasn't gonna be easy under those circumstances. Vincent luke missed weight resently and he had no excuse for missing, why does nobody talk about him being too big for 170?

Usman is shaking

Adriano martins has entered the chat

Well idk about that but he's definitely a hell of a lot more fun

Hhaha, yeah, and total population of all Caucasus doesn't exceed 15mln. Dagestanis, Chechens, and lately Georgians. Surprising that Ossetians, another small Caucasus nation whom everybody knows in the world of wrestling, still are not present in mma.

Don't forget North-Iranian. Those guys are winning 80% of Iran's gold medals at World and Olympic championships.

Seriously what’s wrong 😬

Esp in Dagestani.

He’s 23 or 24 and 0 in freestyle wrestling 3 - 0 amateur mma 10-0 in professional MMA Any1 claiming hype train doesn’t understand what that means. This is just a dominant competitor. UFC is holding him back severely trying to run him through the same pipeline, Chael is also guilty of underestimating him. Khamzat has the will and knows how to win. Let him humble the division.

He's defenitly no slouch. Trained at the same gym as Khazma many many years ago. If u countered him he will keep getting countered untill he learns everything. Very big and hard puncher aswell as wrestler. But abit stiff with no real BJJ then, but strong af. Tbh I'd think Usman might be the easier of the two in style against izzy. Have a hard time seeing him catching Iz than Usman. Tho both of them are the hardest you can get.

@@emilpeterson7034 Jan had no problems with Izzy and Khamzat is a whole different animal. I think he’ll walk through both of them tbh. I think his only competition is at light heavy.

@@timmysawdust193 True. We'd sparred & trained together years ago so I guess it makes me underestimate what he has become. He looks amazing, just remember him as abit stiff which he obv isnt anymore. Izzy just looks so flexible and quick with long reach which he HAD issues with. Tho 1 wrong move and u aint getting him off u, strong af which made it harder to submit the guy. Not a good position. Would love for him to become champ. Really nice guy, plus i could say I've dropped a UFC champ...No one needs to know when it was but who dont want to be able to say they have :>

Thankkk youuu I’ve been saying he will smash Izzy for so long

He would have been in the Olympics, but Sweden wouldn't allow him to represent him due to citizenship. But he won 3 golds

Yeah his trips and throws are Olympic level

Nahh, I follow Olympic wrestling closely and he's good but not Olympic medalist good. The top 1-3 wrestlers these days are just insane. Some scramble so well it's so damn hard to score on them

@@haikalrosli8579 If that is all he trained he would be. He flashes brilliance.

Not really

She doesn't use Judo though, she's predominantly a striker. Now that's a generalization, of course you could go through her fights and find a few examples of her using Judo, but it's her Muay Thai she's using to win

@@nicholasoneal1521 not much high level grapplers in her division for her to be using it IG

@@blase9786 then it should be easier for her to use those throws and dominate people with them

Val has got a Black Belt in Violence Bob, have you seen Izzys' analysis of her, "Izzy, so who do you think will win," he mentions her opposition and her assets she brings to the table, when they ask about her just shakes his head, places his hand over his eyes and looks downwards in a sad fashion, meaning shes a fkn killing machine.

For real. He's such a smooth talker he just throws in random bullshit all the time and you don't realize it.

The GOAT, Josh, The Undisputed GOAT. Brilliance in our lifetime, we are truly blessed obv.

The IJF(International Judo Federation) does not allow Judoka’s to cross train in other combat sports, this is why high level Judoka’s are rare in MMA but the few who did cross over were very successful champions or contenders - Fedor Emilianenko , hector Lombard, Karo Parisyan, Ronda rousey, Kayla Harrison, Rick Hawn, Satoshi Ishi… all good examples of High level judo champions that did very well in MMA. Khabib, Fabricio Werdum, Debian Maia, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Ronaldo Souza, Antonio Bigfoot Silva are also some examples of Judo black belts in MMA who mixed their Judo together with their wrestling and bjj.

@@Jake-pm3pz I really don't understand how they could forget Fedor (!!!) and Khabib (!!!) every time. Two of the best ever.

@@Jake-pm3pz Are they undefeated like unkel Chael, that's the right question to ask!

Not even a single division champ 🤣🤣🤣

I doubt he’ll go to LH he’s too small. Watch him and Gus spar

@@blase9786 Nah, Gus is too big. The dude is like 6'5

@@blase9786 he can bulk up and try

@@blase9786 yeah Gus is 6’5 and also now a HW

so was Khabib

you know how big Adesanya is? Chimaev is tall but he is skinny like Izzy for MW.

@@blockaderunner so is pretty much everyone, and conor for FW ;)

@@blockaderunner it’s that wrestler strength

@@l0yer you’re smoking rocks, the guy at mw is coming in the ring at least 205-210 solid lean muscle. He has that crazy Russian strength

Khamzat is better than Khabib in every aspect

@ben esterberg I'm not saying he's khabib level. Khabib is levels above khamzat. But khamzat is similar to khabib

No he's not. The only difference is that khamzat hits harder and he is being pushed by the ufc way faster than khabib. But in terms of skills khabib was special.

@@Izzy-zh8ck He has some skills to have never lost a match in mma or wrestling. Khamzat also said he’s beat olympic wrestlers 8-0 or 10-0

@@Izzy-zh8ck Khamzat's is way better than Khabib it is obvious

Fanboys gotta be fanboys, cuzz.

He's a weak punk.

Same, I randomly came across one of his fights. I was going through some ufc highlights I was on a binge and I saw a fight of his were he dominated the fight n the way he was pounding his opponent n I became an instant fan I’ve been telling people about him too, since then I was telling them there’s a beast that’s coming to ufc n his going to keep it entertaining

A 23-0 wrestling record is not impressive. He would not have a chance of competing with the top 25 at his weight in the world. Wouldn’t be close ,

his amateur wrestling career was in Sweden. All scandinavian countries mostly wrestle greco, so the freestyle level in Sweden is very low. He wrestled freestyle in chechnya before moving to Sweden, so his 23-0 record in sweden is not impressive relatively speaking

Its ok bro they just haters

@@chriscooper6206 cope harder

@@dopevids4252 Only they say points, you just say "nah". Fan-boy worse than hater, u kno that?

Khabib isn't mainly a Judoka, by example, he has never competed in a high level Judo tournament.

Khabib does Sambo and Judo, but these are also different from his main sport of Combat Sambo, same with Fedor. Combat Sambo is very different from traditional Sambo and incorporates striking (to a lesser extent than MMA of course)

@@nicholasoneal1521 no he said the opposite himself

@@Madmax-py3gp really? Could you send a video of him saying the main martial art he uses is Judo? Or an article quoting him?

@Nicholas O'Neal I think he has because he is an international Master of sport in Judo and generally they give this title to people who won an international competition

Fedor Emilianenko too lol, the IJF(International Judo Federation) does not allow Judoka’s to cross train in other combat sports, this is why high level Judoka’s are rare in MMA but the few who did cross over were very successful champions or contenders - Fedor Emilianenko , hector Lombard, Karo Parisyan, Ronda rousey, Kayla Harrison, Rick Hawn, Satoshi Ishi… all good examples of High level judo champions that did very well in MMA.

They weren't all that great, but there are better examples. Ronda, amanda ribas, khabib, fedor, kayla harrison etc.

I think Chimaev can beat usman but of course it’s the same other way around. Usman took a lot more damage and had a longer career...if they fought right now usman has the best chance of winning. It’s sounding like usman is gonna bow out of the sport soon. Whether or not Chimaev will climb fast enough to send him off, only time will tell.

@@enjayflave i think Khamzat would whoop your boyfriend Colbys ass every where. But not Usman.

I think Khamzat would whoop colbys ass, but he'd just be another highlight real win for Usman.

Yoel Romero started MMA very very late in his career and he didn't even attempt takedowns

@@user-gb4zq9np7m he started late for sure, interesting that he started at the same age as DC (32 yrs old) and look how much more DC utilized his wrestling compared to Yoel. DC was a folkstyle wrestler the vast majority of his life, kind of proves my point a little.

@@Th3Chuzzl3r the thing is about folkstyle locked hands is illegal which makes riding not very applicable. Cause locked hand just makes things much easier

@@user-gb4zq9np7m I see a benefit from training without locking your hands, you're use to getting a wrist ride and using your other hand to control something else or in mma's case, to punch. Nothing offensive comes from locking your hands, it just lets you maintain control, if you're not locking hands you're typically looking to advance to a better position or a pinning combination.

Yoel romero does not have the cardio for mma wrestling

Fedor used judo throws and trips a lot. Bronze in Russian Nationals. A lot of people consider him the HW GOAT. Good point.

@T. Fedor literally used an Uchi Mata on Chael to reverse his double leg when they fought. 😆

Yeah exactly, The IJF(International Judo Federation) does not allow Judoka’s to cross train in other combat sports, this is why high level Judoka’s are rare in MMA but the few who did cross over were very successful champions or contenders - Fedor Emilianenko , hector Lombard, Karo Parisyan, Ronda rousey, Kayla Harrison, Rick Hawn, Satoshi Ishi… all good examples of High level judo champions that did very well in MMA.

Those are 3 guys out of hundreds of champions, most champions have been wrestlers and it's not even a question, not to mention that all of these guys favored another martial art over Judo,( Sambo for Khabib/Fedor, and BJJ for Werdum). Wrestling is the best base martial art for fighting, point blank period.

I predicted 8 months ago that Usman will retire before facing Chimaev. Now Usman is saying hes not sure how much longer hell fight and chimaev is 2 fights away minimum. No way Usman takes that risk, hes not that guy

Obviously he does it intentionally! 😡
