The short answer is no. He needs to fight a top contender at 185.

Khamzat made his debut in 2020. DDP & Periera made their debuts after him, worked their way up and both are title holders now. What's Khamzat's excuse?

Crazy right. Bad Management and a lack of strategy. I think everyone thought hes a golden goose until he believed it himself, freaking out, overtraining, switching divisions, being sick multiple times a year, while the time runs by and he keeps calling out the changing Champs on Twitter. And fighting one 3 round decision fight a year.

I'd like to see him fight that Chinese guy, Izzy

with the frequency he shows nowadays, i think his title shot is gonna take some time

"Borz" doesn't know that wolves don't bark. And all he does is bark. He will never be a champion. It became clear a long time ago.

No way. Theres no denying that Khamzat is one of the most dangerous fighters for round 1, but thats it. He gasses after just 1 round. He has that 1 round cardio like Conor, just the wrestling type. But make no mistake, he is lethal in the first round and probably one of the best wrestler and grappler in the UFC for that first round. He can go hard for max 1.5 rounds. His inactivity doesn't exactly help either.

Clearly not. Love Khamzat as a fighter, but he’s not nearly active enough. He could have earned his title shot already but now he does not deserve it at all

@@beaualoevvyeah Colby actually fought ranked fighters before got Usman title shot, it took im 6 years ... after really close fight with Usman, he beat exchampion Woodley, so he got another titleshot and after that he schooled Masvidal who was about top5 so he got another ... can you see the difference? Please name one top15 middleweight ranked fighter Khamzat fought, thank you ...

Ofcourse not. End of dicussion..🎤

Would like to see the rematch considering how close the fight was. I wouldn't say it was a robbery, but I personally think Strickland won. Khamzat should fight at least one real middleweight contender before he starts talking about title shots at 185.

The thing with him is when he burst on to the scene everyone was talking about him and he was very active as a fighter. Once he showed his skills in my opinion fighters who weren't at the very top (ranked 1-4) didn't really want to take him on as he was clearly in my opinion a contender for challenging the top guys but had to earn that spot. However how does he earn it if he isn't being given the fights. That compounded with missing weight against Diaz has I think made it difficult for the UFC to figure out what to do with him but he has shown that he is able to fight and beat very difficult opponents like G Burns and K Usman albeit they were close fights. I think he should be one fight away from a title shot but I don't think there's much news on what's happening with his recovery

Definitely. Let's see what he can do

I wanna see Khamzat vs Sean now and DDP vs Cannonier (or maybe Izzy if Cannonier won't heal fast enough).

He must fight against a middleweight before even being considered for a title shot

Being an obnoxious meathead online and fighting zero ranked middleweights doesn’t warrant a title fight.

this shouldn't even be discussed!

No and neither does Izzy

Crazy how people are overrating du plessis now. Bro was getting ragdolled by FREAKING DEREK BRUNSON. Khamzat mauls him.

SO Khamshot who never beaten anyone ranked in the top 30 in middleweight. Would beat the champion???

I think he needs to have one more fight before the title shot. Let him fight Strickland or the winner of Costa/Whittaker.

Izzy doesn’t deserve a title shot off a loss. I’d run ddp vs Strickland back but Dana said no to that. Khamzat was promised two title fights already. He more than deserving.

He can have a welterweight title shot. Dude has beaten 1 lightweight and 1 former welterweight champ and we are saying he's better than Bones.

DDP vs Sean rematch, Izzy vs Mr Smesh in a #1 contenders match.

As much as I like Khamzat, I have to say no. He can't stay off the injured/sick list to save his soul, yet still calls out everyone and wants his title shot.

It should be strickland vs ddp 2.. izzy vs khazmat at ufc 300

Khamzat deserves squat, but I’m sure he will continue his little baby wah wah tactics

I think 🤔 khamzat is a dangerous contender at 185

@komerczka

I would expect contender at 185 to fight at least 1 ranked fighter at 185 ...

From a purely objective rankings based perspective no, but I'd be lying if I said that DDP vs Khamzat wasn't the fight I wanted most from an entertainment perspective. That being said, I think that Ironically probably a better argument for Khamzat getting a WW title shot next considering the people he's beat (Burns and Usman etc.) You can make an evidence based argument that he deserves a shot right now more than Belal or Shavkat etc. due to beating higher ranked WW's.

Sean vc dricus Rematch is the right call

Sean vs Khamzat

The answer to the title of the video: NO. The end.

I don't know if he deserves a title shot but look at this cases: -Islam got a title shot off unranked Bobby Green (catchweight fight). -Leon got a title shot off Nate Diaz (coming off losses) -Vera got a title shot off #12/#10 Pedro Munhoz And those are only in recent time. Fun fact: Khamzat beating #3 Burns was a higher rank win that any of Leon's wins before he got a title shot.

nope

Strickland got the shot after fighting Abus like come on it wasnt Khamzats fault paulo pulled out

I literally don't think there are welterweights or middleweights in the UFC with the ground game pedigree of Burns and Aliskerov so I think Chimaev thinks he can finish everyone else within two rounds if he doesn't get injured and he has so far and within those to rounds he is as fast and explosive as any of the other.

With all due respect to Khamzat, no. He needs to fight a 'proper' middleweight with a proper fight camp. Give him the winner of Costa v Whittaker then if he wins, give him the title shot.

Chimney will gass out in 1 round

I wonder if Robert Whittaker will have some saying in this situation... 😉

No, have him fight a top 5 first!

Dont deserve the title shot. but anything can happen in ufc. We should pity him or other fighters that have same situation as him . We must remember that each fighter and division in UFC have different story and situation. Some of them got lucky to get fast track to fight the title because of story and situation of his division. For example Alex peira. Some fighters haven't got any title fight even have 7 to 10 win streak. Top fighters of the division have " diva" attitude that don't want to fight top 15/10.. Even some Champ play diva attitude. Some division keep having rematch between the Champ and his rivalry. Some division got stuck because the champ suddenly got injured. Some contenders only want to fight the title, don't want to fight below him. So what other fighters that have same situation as Khamzat should do? . For Khamzat Chimaev situation, what should he do? Other fighters don't scare of him? Really? Why he or other fighters that have same situation as him don't get any fight if other fighters don't scare of them? He keeps call out the champ or contender because that what any fighters should do to keep relevant, to keep the hype. UFC not pure sport such as FIFA, or other sport organisation. UFC is sport plus business plus entrainment.. So we as fans of UFC / MMA must understand the situation, support the fighters, don't be too bias.

no one knows if Khamzat is good yet.. name one real fight that he has had

Strickland Adesanya Whittaker Cannonier Vettori Costa… In answer to your question- no he doesnt

Guru already did a video on this, so no.

Nope, he doesn't fight and the last two were so close to welterweights!

Dricus stops Chimaev in the 3rd

He was promised title shot and he should get it! Undefeated, no one else there in the top 10 is undefeated and they all fought each other. We are tired seeing the same guys fighting each other. Dont tell me that he is not able to get the needed and wanted paper view! Look at his followers, millions more than all the other fighters! Dont say we never know how it would have gone if it was a 5 rounds figh! It was not a 5 rounds fight, therefore this satement is a bullshit statement! He knew its only 3 rounds so he fought so and he was in no round dominated or near to that! He did with Usman on the ground what no fighter ever was able to do to him! Did Strickland deserve his shot against Adesanya?? Noo way he did! Did Pareira deserved after 3 fights a title shot? Never he did! Why you all talking same shit since ages that Khamzat is not deserving it? Bullshit! We wanna see this kind of fights, not these boring tactical fights! He brings people to watch and needed excitement!

No

Maybe if he fought a 185er he could get to a title shot. Or make 170. The dude is a joke

Nope, not active enough and needs big wins at MW, against real MW contenders.

Deserve meaning can he win the title pretty easily? Yes

no. next video. lol

DDP/Adesanya, Strickland/Chimaev, Whittaker or Costa vs Cannonier are the next fights to make.

Kebab should come back and fight Khamzat or Islam. No it won't happen but there the best fights for them for the exact reason they are suppose to be brothers. No Muslim ever looks after the other here though so who knows 🤣

No he doesn’t fight enough and misses weight too often

first view, like and comment.

Not no but fuck no

Chimaev is so overrated it is insane at this point.
