Whoever criticizes Khamzat is delusional, he's absolutely the real deal. He beat Usman in the wrestling exchanges like no one else ever dreamed of doing but people still criticizing.Khamzat is no hype train, he's here to stay, make peace with it.

Crazy when you think about it, In 17 UFC fights, Usman had only been taken down 1 time, Against Khamzat he got taken down 4 times. Got him down every round, NOBODY has done that to Usman, People saying this wasn't impressive are being incredibly disrespectful to Usman, Dude was the P4P #1 fighter and being compared to GSP and Silva a little over a year ago, Loses two fights, One of which he was actually cruising to a W until the last minute and the other also a competitive bout, And now people say he's old and washed up, So ridiculous man. This fight went about how it should have tbh, And I seriously didn't think Khamzat would be able to control Usman the way he did, So hats off to the dude, Usman showed he can still compete, And Khamzat showed he is legit, If dude can polish his striking a bit and learn to manage his energy a little better, I don't dont see anyone stopping him. Great fight.

Dude ain't even at his pinnacle yet and the very best the sport has to offer STILL can't beat him. And he'll only grow and learn and get better from fights like these. Couple more years and he's gonna be damn near unbeatable.
All the best of luck to Strickland
Super humble
khamzat's such a different personality post-fight after these last couple. Seems like he allows humility and gratitude to take front-seat from the 'smesh everybody, kill everybody' thing. Reasonable and I'm not really making a point one way or the other. I enjoy the persona and the human side as he does just seem a decent dude overall.
It seems Borz has learned his lesson from last time. No outburst post fight , humble , giving some respect to Usman instead of screaming how he's the best and will murder everyone. Dana was pissed at Borz for missing weight and acting out after his last fight . That's why it's been so long since we have seen him. I'd like to UFC keep their word and give him a title shot. He'd be a tough matchup for Strickland
Хамзат💪
What a warrior! Fight on with a broken hand and win over Usman!
Khazmat just beat a dominant wrestler at his own game. Yes he has to clean up his striking defense and possible pace strategy but I don’t know how anyone can talk shit about em, I don’t get it?
You can hear the song of a Man walking to his funeral.... Tough tough loss.

After this fight imma just jump on the bandwagon cause this dude is a complete psycho and I love it. The way he looked at usman at the start of the fight was amazing and to give ‘em that look then take him down more times he ever has been taken down in his career hopefully one day we get him vs Islam
He’s a good dude. It’s like he’s just happy to be living his best life. Came from nothing, sleeping in gyms to becoming a huge prize fighter soon to fight for the UFC belt….not to mention he just had a baby. Seems life is good for him and I’m happy for him.
