Any guy who expends that much energy in the first round is going to fatigue themselves. The problem with Chimaev is that his striking is just not that good to keep up with high level strikers like Usman or Whitaker, and if he struggles to submit Whitaker, it works in Whitakers favor, especially given a five round fight.

In every fight Khamzat has had. He has been in trouble with his entire coaching team for everything from "playing with his food" to "letting the matches go on to test himself". There are a small handful of men that you can not do that with. Gilbert Burns is one, and Chimaev did. He wanted the test of Burns more that the win, but got the win. Usman is by far one of the top 10 ever and Chimaev almost lost that one for doing the same. When it comes to GSP, Jones, Fedor, Khabib, Whittaker, and a very few others. If Chimaev goes out to "test" himself with Whittaker. Whittaker will hand his ass to him in a brown paper bag. If Chimaev comes to win and is nothing but business. He will hand Whittaker a loss. I said this from the time it was announced. " This match is Chimaev's to loose or to win. The deciding factor is what his intent is. Because no one in the world in different weight classes can play anything with Whittaker."

I agree with you about Chimaev's conditioning. Theres no point in having fuel left in the tank after the fight. Empty the tank, you should be exerted at the end.

It all depends on wat point in the fight does the fighter get tired. If the fighter getsexhausted early then they have poor conditioning. If they get exhausted towards the end then they have good conditioning. If they never get exhausted like Nate Diaz then they have great conditioning.

Go back to the robert vs smith fight. Bobby knuckles is here to SCRAP!

Chimaev is a wrestling-dominant fighter. In the Burns fight he chose to fight stand-up right, He was fighting somewhat out of his comfort zone for long periods during the fight. My point is when your in your comfort zone you don't get tired as quickly as what you do when your not in your comfort zone. Whittaker's footwork could make it a very long hard fight for Chimaev. I think Whittaker can take him.

George was coached by Firas Zahabi. Firas talks about slow twitch and fast twitch muscles. And how fast twitch come at a cost.. Endurance. GSP believes this as well.

The concern for fatigue is rightfully questionable. But wasn't he deathly ill prior to one fight then broke his hand in the 1st round in another? Idk if he's fought enough to know that answer yet...he usually finishes them too fast to tell. 💪

Fascinating take on the fight mate. Whatever they say about khamzat he seems to prove people wrong. They said he would be tested against an experienced striker in meerschaert and he dropped him with one punch. And his endurance always gets questioned but that brutal fight against burns he had never been tested like that and he was still swinging hard in the last round. I look forward to the fight.

Five rounds will certainly fatigue anyone. Let’s not forget Khamzat was severely ill with covid. From my perspective, having nearly died, I’ll just admit I’m not 50% of the capacity I was prior (when I finished an Ironman at 55 years old). It’s amazing to me he was ever able to compete at all.

Khamzat pushes so much energy out that if he just slowed down considerably he'd have much greater chances later on

Oh Chael, you’re just trolling us. You know damn well conditioning affects the amount of time you can function at a high level before energy is depleted and your reactions, timing and function ability get compromised.

Did anyone not see Whittaker gas out fighting DDP before he got TKO’d? Khamzat is going to eat him alive not sure why no one’s caught on yet.

George gave up the middle weight belt after beating Bisping because he didn't want the Whitaker smoke. He knows how good Whitaker is.

People forget how close Burns Chimaev was, could've gone either way. Whittaker will expose him. I'm a casual btw.

We said that about Driccus, too, and we see how that turned out....

I don’t think he gets tired , he just goes way too hard from the start. Him and Burns went to war the whole time. However , Rob is a different animal.

Whittaker yeah he is a beast. Burns i think either beat or almost be chimaev. So yeah this is going to het bad for him.

But they called the singlet pull. So even if they didn’t have the footage they couldn’t overturn it. He knew he did it and they called it.

Yes. He has a conditioning issue.If Chimaev could fight at the same pace in rounds 2/3 as he does round 1 he’d be unstoppable. You’re right it’s not a critique. He’s been dominant without the greatest conditioning, arguably the easiest thing to work on.

Chael can you make a video on Charles Oliveira please and ask yourself and make a claim what does he do next for his career

Seven quarters 😂 Chael can't let maths get close

Khamzat already fought Burns and Usman. Not really understanding why he is not getting a title shot.

I think Whittaker has a chance if he goes 5 round. But he has to pass the storm, which is chimaev. If we get that chimaev that fought Kevin Holland that didn't let up that was constantly on the gas that's a hard time for Rob. But Usman showed us to stand with him but he is a fantastic wrestler but still lost. Before people say Usman didn't train etc. He has stated before he doesn't stop training.

It is interesting the consensus that Khamzat has no gas tank… wrestlers usually have the absolute best cardio. Hands down.

Any conditioning ‘issues’ he may have had were likely due to poor cuts. He’s less likely to suffer those at middle. Whittaker has great conditioning and better standup. Chimaev can only win this on the ground, which tests conditioning more than standup. My money will literally be on a RW stoppage. Guess we’ll see.

Ask Oleg Taktarov about karate and conditioning. Grappler 👊🏻

I don’t necessarily think Khamzat has a bad gas tank but he definitely is bad at managing his gas tank. But thats kind of the trade off of his style.

No this will be a good fight I think Chimiav has learned going in there an going all out so I think he will take it slow honestly

I hate and love this match. Very bittersweet- Bobby knuckles is and will be one of my all time favorites, as goes for Khamzat. 😢

Hey champ, bring some videos photographs or other type of visual media to support your very well based opinions. Just a thought, Champ!

Ppl are uneducated. Khamzat's conditioning is fine. He's literally won the 3rd round in both his "tough" fights. Ppl are comparing his other rounds to how he fights in the first, so the contrast is making them think he's gassed. He's not... of course he don't fight that way for a whole fight, he's not a fucking robot. Lol. Guys that gas don't finish stronger than their opponents. I love his fighting style. He doesn't fade.... not dramatically. He just comes to dominate and run through his opponent. If they survive that initial storm then he settles into the fight. As far as 4th and 5th round cardio who knows.... Whittaker , or whoever else, will have to get him there for us to find out. But he hasn't shown any reason to think he can't keep fighting. Like i said, he's finished both tough fights stronger than his opponents. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

No bouncing stand-up style and no high kicks against this takedown machine Rob !!

MAKE ROUNDS SHORTER

Whitaker, a few years ago, maybe. But he just doesn't have that fire in his eyes like he used to

Khamzat is a f**king animal I mean my dude always comes to eat and clean the plate. And his striking obviously isn't as great as his grappling but mark my words i could see him catching Whittaker like Izzy did Khamzat is tall long no he doesn't have izzy striking but he's got more pop for sure but all around very interesting fight especially with styles make fights this is a great example.

It hurts to say as a big fan of Chimaev, but yes, his cardio is not a strength of his based on some of his fights. Like Conner against Nate Diaz, where Conner's lack of cardio made him lose his dominant position and the fight, there's a tiny window of an opportunity for Whittaker to achieve a similar result. Chimaev will finish him, though with KO or submission. Against Usman, who has insane KO power and ground game, Chimaev was able to handle him through 5 rounds, so with Whittaker, he can, and he will finish him InshaAllah☝🏽

I actually like Khamzat and Rob; I like Khamzat because to date, he's shown up to fight every time (he's never stood there and done fuck all when you know he's got action in him like Costa vs Izzy) and I like Rob because he's fought a fucking wildly tough list in the ufc and only lost to wonderboy, izzy and dricus.... and each time, Rob has shown up to fight. It'll be weird because both of these guys have said they respect the other in the past - but maybe that'll be why it's a good fight also, that they want to test themselves against someone they respect (more than 'i'm in a fight with someone i idolise' like gsp v hughes'... Keen.

Chimaev seems to get gassed and lose focus in its fights and forget any strategy he might have had in effort to entertain. It will be interesting to see this approach against a seasoned Vet like Whitaker

It's all about the win, doesn't matter how Khamzat looks against Whittaker as long as he secures the W. Whittaker is a well decorated UFC champ not some nobody.
