Honestly I'm more interested in Colby vs chimaev, everything would be more intense and hilarious 😂😂
Can you imagine the press conference that would be hilarious 🤣🤣
The trash talk would be next level 😂
Alex vs chimaev is next
I wanna see Khamzat's reaction when Colby calls him c*mshot face to face 😂
☑️💯
khamzat said something that most ufc stars never say, "It's not all about me, Dana has a lot of things to do, I'm not the only one" Most fighters coming up as big stars, never say things like that.
you know when someone really has a good heart. big respect to khamzat
ok
Khamzat has big heart
dude is way more intelligent than people think and anyone that pays attention can pick up enough to undestand it
who gives a fuk
Khamzat wants to fight in all the weight classes at once 😂😂😂
He don't understand anything, lights of fame
But can't make weight for any of them when needed 😂
He's a dunce he can't weight bully anymore in 170 UFC won't let him fight at 170 after .issuing weight by 10 pounds
@@googletoldme2292 Missed weight once.
the ignorance of the comments here is mind blowing
Khamzat is one of my favourite fighters period !
If Colby signs the contract to fight Khamzat I’ll be VERY surprised, other than that I don’t think he’s signing anything with Khamzat on it
me too. colby probably praying to god khamzat goes up to 185
He won’t. He’s all about easy big money fights .
He might take it for 2M$, UFC is trying hard.
No way Colby accept, if he's not fighting for the title, he only fight people over 35 year old and with at least 2 fight losing streak.
Colby won't sign
"Yea brutha, i have two cars" idk why that made me laugh right off the bat
Khamzat been eating beans on toast for a minute
same lmao
Yea rich people like u will laugh no doubt about it. But struggler and person who have seen life hard that's means so much to them and they thank god for the blessings. Unlike people like u. Fkg trash
to be fare Khamzat deserves a tittle shot more then Pereira did.
Who tf has he fought in middleweight?
@@dashawnballard52 Khamzat's original weight was at light heavyweight and khamzat before joining the ufc khamzat fought at middleweight
No he doesn’t. What sort of stupid logic is this. I don’t think khamzat has a ranked win at middleweight, if he does it’s no higher than rank 13. He hasn’t fought there in several fights.
Alex beat a top 5 contender.
No comparison
Alex beat a top 5 MW, khazmat hasnt
To be fair that was the fight everyone wanted to see cause of the rivalry. The fight sold itself
Khamzat seems like a wise and humble guy despite his wild actions at times. He’s dope
Crazy that Pereira is the easiest fight for Khamzat in the top 5 of 185 and 170. If you're a striker, Pereira is the bringer of death. If you're a wrestler, Pereira is like a midnight snack.
Everybody is sleeping on this fact this is the key statement right here.
@@yammak2004 not at all it’s literally what all the casuals like you two dumb ducks are thinking
He's a coward! He duck paulo Costa nd rob..all he wanna do is fight strikers! Typical scary Russians
Always best to eat a midnight snack quickly just incase you get caught
Why doesn’t this apply to Izzy who hasn’t been taken down? Why will it be different for Alex? Oh wait it won’t be because he can actually fight, unlike khamzat who fakes glove touching to get a takedown
Khamzat wants Perreira in Brazil, isn't he f**king awesome?? lmfao
Uncle dana😂😂😂
,,dana white laugh"
I like Poatan, but hes going to be in big trouble lol
u glazing
@Sayaf Uddin Khamzat kills Costo inside Round 1 infront of Brazilian crowd, grabs the mic..yells "uh vai morrer" into the mic while staring intensely at Pereira sitting among the crowd 👀
Brett has such a chill and laid back way of asking questions, felt like just two buddies talking.
Great interview!
English is, like, his 4th language, and yet Khamzat is one of my favorite fighters on the mic.
Is it? How?
@@s3npai486 Two native languages, third is of country he immigrated to and English
@@aleksei3834 what two native languages does he know russian and ?
@@s3npai486 chechen, they're completely different
chechen, russian, swedish and english
If Khamzat fights Alex he’d literally be STEALING the belt like candy😂
He’d get knocked out lmao
Maybe in his dreams when he's sleeping lol Alex is huge I feel khamzat is a better match for Izzy
@@memecusmaximus4880 Khamzat takes Alex down and subs him easy. Izzy controlled Alex w basic wrist control. Khamzat’s game is levels above that
@@memecusmaximus4880 Khamzat is huge too, bro
In Israel vs Alex fight Alex trained for a striker and with khamzat Pereira will be ready.
Thank you brett for bringing him back as its been so long since we saw or heard anything from chimaev
Khamzat spot on about the brown belt. Also showed more respect toward Izzy than before. Khamzat beats them all
Why didn't u ask about
(1) Brawl at UFC Dubai with Abu Bakr
(2) Paulo Costa taking his hat
(3) His views on Islam Makhachev vs Oliveira
(4) His views on belal finishing Sean.
(5) was Paulo Costa fight offered.
(6) Henry Cejudo invited him once to train with him, would he be interested to train with cejudo.
Yeah man these are some really good questions
he afraid of costa, he wants easy matchups
Simply a trash reporter, too bad Dana hates the dude with the actual merit helwani 😄
Because Brett Okamoto is a coward who sucks up to fighters
Bc Brett is terrible
If jiri defends the belt against Teixeira I would like to see Pereira vs Jiri that would be a great fight
That would be a banger
Periera almost got knocked out by a middleweight.
Jiri will break his skull. There's a reason why he doesn't fight close to his natural weight
What if his chin is affected by that massive weight cut and it is harder to knock him out at LHW contest?
@@realconfigs casual detected
@@realconfigs You talk as if Israel Adesanya is just any guy, a small guy with no knockout power 🤣. Israel's speed, accuracy and timing are out of this world, he's the worst type of striker Alex could face. An aggressive fighter like Jiri is all Alex wants, he's a full plate for the left hand to come in several times.
Khamzat is the man can’t wait until he gets the belt!!!
It's ridiculous Borz fights in 2 divisions but can't get a title fight, but Alex gets 1 after 3 fights. I don't like that.
The UFC did that for one reason only, to dethrone Izzy. Yes it sucks that Alex was able to leapfrog all the top guys, but it worked a treat. It opened up the Middleweights division from Izzy's stranglehold.
It's crazy how khamzAt went from fighting every week to fighting once or twice a year.
top ranked guys cant get fights that quickly.
Do you understand how fighters can… duck fights? Both khamzat and rob both don’t want to fight each other either.. Who in the top 5 of 170 or 185 WANT to fight khamzat? Top 5 btw
Usually how it goes when you get to the top. Not to mention it doesn't help the guy is a nightmare matchup for anyone with less than elite grappling of some sort lol.
Yeah downwards there are fights bt top guys dnt wanna figgt him so its a stalemate, its more a headache for UFC and mtchmakers that they cant make a fan fav fight for Khamzat
Because no one really wants to fight him in the top three guys and the circumstances up there also make it hard to tell. Fun fact, Alex Pereira signed with the UFC a year after Khamzat.
Lets Go Khamzat Chimaev ❗️💪🐺
Love when Khamzat sounds like he was born in Liverpool bc of his relationship with Darren, it's hilarious 😂😂
K is such an Intelligent, Fearless, Good Hearted Man.
So "Steady".
Great Interview. And Interviewer.
The earth is not flat bruh stop with this number one bullsht.

Colby wouldn’t agree to that fight lol
5 round fight, I favor Colby slightly because of his cardio
@@DWoodsII I see it as competitive as alex vs adesanya
@@LIIIIIFE cope
@@ShiteOnTheBus the truth is bitter isnt it? cuckington fangirl.
@@DWoodsII Colby ain't gonna last 5 rounds. He will be put to sleep before the judges has any say.
Khamzat is much likeable when he's by himself he's so chilled and despite some of the backstage dramas I believe he's got a heart of a true warrior ❤ he just needs a bit more time to execute the timing & precision of his fighting approach he'll be there when it's on 💯‼
That's because he is a good person. He's a real warrior, he reminds one of my freinds back in high school just misunderstood.
Definetly the real deal, only opponent that can beat him at 170 is the scale. I think he beats pereira in a title bout.
He's still supremely confident of his skills; but life has given him a firmer grounding, having now seen a few elite guys fall and having fought an elite himself: no matter how good you are --- or think you are --- as Khamzat himself now admits, the chin is not made of titanium. Another elite lands on your chin, just once, very hard, are you go down just like every one else!
The other thing: he and his gym have both gotten into hot waters recently. The coaches & owners of the gym ---- who have big bills to pay and dozens under their wings, training in facilities Khamzat and other also train in --- must have come down HARD on them: MMA is a professional sport; and you will behave yourself like professional athletes, or you can take a hike.
This interview is likely as close to the actual Khamzat as you'd ever get out of an extreme fighting sport like MMA, where you really have to be among the most skilled AND most aggressive (mentally, if not always physically) to get to the top. Here, Khamzat showed both his supreme self-confidence and vulnerability, which is, no matter how good someone is, including himself, all it takes is just one hard kick to the head or a hard punch to the chin, by another elite competitor ---- regardless whether it is by "luck" or by "design" --- & that's pretty much it!
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 Yes I heard about the situation with his gym & team very contentious indeed but my thoughts are with them and blessings need to go up in hard times.
He needs to be a character if he wants to make a fortune. It’s only business!
I have Swedish blood and he represents Sweden, I respect this tough individual
I had a swedish massage
Vikings🔥😅 Greetings from Chechnya
Khamzat
Talks to Brett because he feels comfortable. It doesn’t feel like Brett is trying to get a headline for clicks and views. So Khamzat respects that. This is why he always talks to him, and let’s be real this is when we get the best version of Khamzat as far as media goes.
Khamzat would be champ tomorrow if he fought Alex :D
1 round with Alex. 1 round with Leon. Ez
He's a coward! He duck paulo Costa nd rob..all he wanna do is fight strikers! Typical scary Russians
You’re a retard for saying this :D
@@TeemoForLife I will enjoye when Pereira take Khamzat head. The hunter shall destroy the wolf.
He has to fight AT LEAST A TOP 5 MIDDLEWEIGHT FIGHTER before fighting the champ. Who does this guy think he is. Just skips the whole line to fight the champ??? Yea not really
It’s so funny that Khamzat was viewed as the one to dethrone both Usman and Izzy yet both were dethrone in a sort of rematch 😂 But Khamzat is such an athlete (although crazy and soooo annoying) I can’t see him not winning one or two belts 😂
I feel like both Usman and Izzy will get their belt back
@@theeagle450 doesn't really matter. At middleweight whoever has the belt is getting smashed but it's tricky at welterweight because Usman and Leon both are super well rounded
@@theeagle450 me too
The first top fighter he has fought, nearly beat him so get off your knees
@@theeagle450 usman is more likely too
8 mins into this interview and I’m impressed. Such honesty . And he tends to annoy me
No one cares bruh
@@user-mm8mh6zi2f yet here you are replying . Stfu
@@BP-rn3nl his honesty about Dana having bigger things then him , ufc not revolving around him , last fight being his biggest check , giving Gilbert props about being great grappler. That’s not my opinion that’s fActs he usually so conceited
@@salrodriguez8059 truthfully he’s not conceited. He’s promoted himself a bit to get his name going. But deep down, the guy has said he’s got respect for the other fighters.
Caus u judged him and know nothing about him.
Future Double champion 🐺⚔️🍽️
Khamzat got dropped by Burns. I wouldn't count out Pereira flatlining him.
Unless Khamzat plans on brawling like a r*tard again, he mops up Alex quickly.
Israel takedown
Pereira easily imagine what khamzat can do 🤗
Khamzat also took down Burns instantly without effort, but had to respect the ground game so he couldn't finish, there's no ground game to respect with Pereira, if Adesanya can control you on the ground with minimal effort that says enough, 1 takedown and that fight is over.
The only reason Burns was allowed to strike was because of his insane BJJ. Alex has 0 BJJ compared to Gilbert
@@skull1675 Israel didn't technically take him down. Alex just made a mistake in the clinch when going for a judo trip. Israel failed all his other takedowns when shooting for a double or single. Pereira has good takedown defense
I can listen to him all day. 😂😂😂
Same 🤣🤣❤️❤️
Khamzat will be loved by the end of his career for sure
He is already loved
🤣🤣 love it .
"Everything (hate) fans give me ,I will give it back to their fighter inside the cage !
What a mentality 👏
Khamzat talking about taxes was too funny
Man usman vs khamzat was a dream fight for me and then leon came in😩
Lol He’ll get the belt back . Then you’ll have your dream match.
@@Dazdillinger101 no he wont, usmans soul has been taken, u americans still mad leon fly over to america and finished marty from nebraska, one day u bois will have to put respect on his name
@@shreddedguy679I respect him, but he has a very high chance of losing. Great kick but also a lucky shot, he was getting dominated most of the fight
@@shreddedguy679 lol Leon lost every round , up until the kick. Usman will rinse and repeat
@@Dazdillinger101 except for the first round when he took usman down and took his back and threatened to rear naked choke him but ok lets pretend that didnt happen, but other than that, you right, usman did dominate, 1400 metres above sea level, next fight gonna be exactly at sea level and then we will see if leons excuses as to why he got gassed is legit, and best believe if he is right, hes gonna beat usman again
Khamzat will be the first triple champ in UFC history
I think so also
no he wont colby will stop him
Cant sleep but a brett Okamoto interview should help
Lmao 🤣.
Guy is very boring
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣 common man....
He’s a walking melatonin fo sho bro😂
Without Brett, maybe you don't see this interview at all.
If they put Gilbert vs Jorge and Khamzat vs Kolby in one event imagine the press conference!
Khamzat knows better than to stand with Alex. He don’t want that problem after Burns smacked him down 😂
If Khamzat fights a game plan, he will definitely win titles, that Gilbert fight was a fight the coach never wanted to see, Khamzat fought recklessly, chaldish I'd say.
Khamzat is one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC. UFC knows this
Excellent interview. Learned a lot about the Wolf. Will be wearing gold soon.
13:06 i know what he meant but that was still funny lmao
Hahahhahah
Racist 😭😩🤣🤣🤣
This dude is a force to be reckoned with 💯💯
He is just different
He is heaps confident but still humble and realistic in lots of things
You can never miss his fight or interview
I wish I have a friend or brother like him
Let's go 🐺
Humble? No he chases strikers . Bo wants him .he wont humbly fight bo
@@scottieeasley4907 you are so dumb, why would Khamzat fight an unranked guy who hasn’t fought in the UFC. Please put bias aside for one second
Delusional fan boy.
@@scottieeasley4907 lol I just had a stroke seeing humble in it
Bo gotta earn his way up… it will happen eventually… no fear from either side.
Brett talking like he doesn't want to wake up the kids
Therapy couch brett is so boring. Get this man a drink or something, so he can have some personality 🤦♂️
It seems like some champs are losing belts just to avoid Khamzat 💪🤣
Khamzat is definitely not scared of anyone and most fighters can feel that!
Alex doesn't care lol hes like an android
This logic makes no sense lol casual fan. Losing a belt to avoid him when if they lose the belt, they’re more likely to fight him? You’re dumb
Very nice interview! Lots of info there.
Brett this is by far your best interview. Excellent work.
Khamzat has the best beard in the ufc
And worst moustache 😉
I would say Tyrone woodly has better beard
@@Napoleon-Blownapart 😂😂😂 obviously
Better than Arlovski? Gtfo lol
Jiri up there too
Pereira solved the toughest puzzle in adesanya which many couldn't. He deserves respect and he has something which others don't have, so fighters shouldn't underestimate him thinking they can win just by wrestling him.
trust people are aware it is the elite wrestlers that are seeing paths to victory against him. whittiker and khamzat are good candidates.
@@lester0679 withikar will never beat alex
@@lester0679 neither will cumshot he got handled by a ex lightweight
He's a coward! He duck paulo Costa nd rob..all he wanna do is fight strikers! Typical scary Russians

13:05 saved himself there 🤣🤣
Colby Vs Chimaev would be gold …….. the press conference f* in hilarious
He is clearly pissed with the interviewer asking him about money because he is not materialistic at all. Usually people from west often discuss these topics in detail but he was more interested in talking about fight.
He's not pissed at all
Kill people, make money - Khamzat
@@jungp5749 go rewatch the first few mins and then watch the rest of the video. Khamzat didn't want to answer any of those questions but the interviewer wouldn't let it go. He is clearly displeased and it is visible.
He just wants to smash everyone brotha. Kill everybody.
@@yellowscarlightningscream8347 not materialistic??? He drives a 6 figure Mercedes and has outfits that cost more then a normal persons salary.
Khamzat would ragdoll Alex, taking it from the Adesanya fight. And would embarrass Colby too, calling it 💴
The Colby fight would be a lot closer
Colby beats Khamzat at this moment. In 2-3 years when Khamzat’s hands improve he will play with him
Casual.
100% agree
Khamzat gets stuffed and gasses. Then the pain begins
Love your interviews Bret ❤️
Good one 😂
Cutting from 205 down to 170 might sound like alot, but remember, Khabib walked around at the same weight and cut down to 155. I don't understand why everyone acts like it's the end of the world when Khamzat misses weight once but praises Kahbib when he misses weight 6 times across his entire career.
Bro Khabib did not walk around at 200 lbs. Maybe now he does because he is like fat guy you know
He said in multiple interviews he wouldn't have made 205 if he didn't cut weight. The dude was the biggest LW in the history of the sport by far.
🎯
I'm pretty sure Khabib was in the 190s and below like all other lightweights then went up to 200s after retiring. The only concern I have for Khamzat is his mind. He's not as stable as Khabib and may deteriorate just as Mcgregor did.
Agree! In main event cards as well!
Well Khamzat wanted Alex before he even fought for the belt
Shut up
At the same time he ducked Costa and Whittaker! Lol
@@alexmulugeta9582 he’s definitely going to end up fighting them when he moves up
He's a coward! He duck paulo Costa nd rob..all he wanna do is fight strikers! Typical scary Russians
@@alexmulugeta9582 « ducked » lol costa is step back tf he need costa noob clown
Pereira could be a dream matchup for Khamzat to get that 185 strap or a nightmare matchup cuz of Pereira stone hands that KO you stiff.. Interesting matchup 🙌
Not really that interesting, khamzat would be on his legs faster than the kevin holland fight and submit him.
Some think Poatan would be easy for Khamzat but he has reach and more than likely striking advantage + he has to be stronger than gilburt burns based on his size alone. Even with Gilberts good BJJ poatan would be Khamzats hardest fight
@@a-q9414 for sure thats the highest probability outcome
@@shadowbolt2910 how would he survive the first round?? Khamzat will rush him like he did against Holland. If Pereira doesnt land a perfect punch/kick/knee before Khamzat closes the gap, its over for him.
guys this fight isnt really that complicated. khamzat will win if he can take alex down but if he cant then hes getting koed. i honestly dont see this fight going past round 1 but id say alex has a 60% chance of beating khamzat
Love this dude....thanks for interviewing.
Khamzat the 🐐
I don't see Alex stopping a take down and a mauling. He is huge and can use size and muscle to help his chances though he has no technique on the ground
I feel Alex will get alot better fast coz he's new to it like Ngannou
Try to take him down. You are getting hit right in the dome. Otherwise Izzy would have taken him down in the 5th. Not easy.
@@bartholomewlyons Izzy was gassed. He took down a fresher fighter in the 3rd with no issue and held him there. Elite wrestling with good BJJ knowledge is the cheat code for this era of MMA. It takes much longer to become proficient on the ground than on the feet and the gap in skill level is way more visible in the cage. Alex can train wrestling for the next 5 years I dont think hes going to be able to stay on his feet vs any of the top guys who have a wrestling base. I genuinely think Khamzat runs through him like he did Holland, its an awful matchup for him.
IF Adasanya could control Alex on the ground and he's not a wrestler just imagine what khamzat would do.
@@Adam-xe5xm I agree khamzat is a 10 times totally harder person to stop a take down
Brilliant interview. Nice calm proper conversation. No ego bursting out . Real talk lots of confidence but saw a more real side to
Khamzat there even the way he spoke about
Tills kids being cute. A side to him down to earth weve never seen before. Humble. He’s starting to understand the ufc now it seems. Another great interview Brett. 👍🏽
Thats always him on interviews . He just gets fired up during fight week etc.. the presser etc. Thats just entertainment imo, rest is just all noise from social media.
Khamzat trains with light heavys like Gustafson, I think he’ll be alright lol
Khamzat vs Colby Covington is going to be a war 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I want to see khamzat Usman.
We all do
Usmans knees won’t be able to handle all that wrestling
Usman would beat him or ko him cumshot is not on that level
why, Leon took his soul and he aint getting it back...
He gives other fighters the fears.
Because Kadyrov will kidnap their family. Imagine fighting a guy in the 40's who knew Himmler or someone like this.
Amazing interview 👏
Khamzat should try to be active, win the 170 belt and then move up to 185 by the end of next year. He looks much stronger and better at 185, so his team would be wise to make him move up sooner than later...
*BALD KHAMZAT IS MOST DANGEROUS GUY IN UFC*
Brett Okamoto always talks to fighters like he just woke up in bed next to them and he's in love
Therapy couch brett is the worst. So boring.
Respect to the guy for asking the right questions. Spot on.
Khamzat has done absolutely nothing to jump Rob in line for the middleweight strap
rob´s last fight was a L and khamzat has more starpower
Colby knows he would die if he stepped into the octagon with Khamzat… right?
Khamzats face is 80% beard
He's a coward! He duck paulo Costa nd rob..all he wanna do is fight strikers! Typical scary Russians
😆 lol! Super weird looking... Can you imagine what he'd look like without it lol. Maybe he keeps it for cushion from the strikes to his chin. Or he doesn't have one 🤔
@@atheist6997 bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
"I love that guy.. like my brother" ✊
He likes dictators who send people to kill children. Cumshawt that is. Idk if your brother likes criminals too.
pls I wanna see him in Brazil pls UFC make it happen!!
👏👏In that fight Khamzat was too obsessed with giving Burns a quick KO so he abandoned the gameplan. And Khamzat Will kill Burns more easily if he fight smart acording to the coach's plan
No other fighter would be allowed to jump into a new division & fight for the title immediately... Unless Dana loves you lol
Israel Adesanya did that, and i dont think Dana likes him that much. He is not a huge draw.
@kenopasia he went into a division and fight literally nobody? You are trippin. Khamzat gotta fight somebody… he’s fought nobody. He’s gotta fight rob, Strickland, vatori, Costa… this dude doesn’t get to skip the whole line.
Khamzat plays the villain but he’s really a very good guy.
Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA
Thank you for another great interview with the one and only Khamzat Chimaev. I become a bigger fan after each interview. I love how Khamzat’s shows this side of his personality. 2023 is he will win at least one belt! Let’s go Borz
Make it happen ufc and see if this guy can back it up his word
That beard is on point 👌
Where was the call out before the fight.
Khamzat vs Islam would be a great fight.
Can Chimaev take Alex down and submit him? I think so. However, if Alex hit Chimaev, Chimaev's frame can not handle that kind of power. A sequece of full power hits from Pereira could kill Chimaev.
Chimaev has a very good chin but it may not help against pereira
@@boxingking9421 This is why this match up would be interesting. Its like a 50/50, who ever gets the right opportunity for advantage wins. I wouldn't even count either of them out tbh.
@@boxingking9421 no he doesn’t dude could barely take Gilbert burns shots a lightweight pereira would put him to sleep easily lol
@@oscargee1173 lol khamzat was fasting my friend maybe learn the science behind that 👍 also khamzat literally knocked out a guy with the only punch thrown in the fight.
@@iGrindBudz khamzat still too small for the top middleweights he fights little guys like costa said he don’t want that smoke with costa or Robert lmao
My favorite fighter 🔥🙏
I like the spirit of Khamzat Chimaev, he is a real sport man!!!
Now that would be a crazy matchup!
With the current frame Khamzat would be a trouble for most middleweight , Izzy , rob , Marvin etc but Khamzat he needs to get a bit bigger to take on Alex , he's a bigggg dude , or else it'll be a bit hard for him to take him down n keep him down , and the cardio will give him advantage but then going back to welterweight will be a bit tough for him and then on top of that , against Colby it'll be hard .
Dude Khamzat had no issues taking down a heavyweight in his training partner gustavson
Izzy was grappling Alex with no issues. Khamzat would actually ragdoll him
@@mikko3 he still took him down easily. Imagine what a pro wrestler like Khamzat would do
A heavyweight?
@@LTMoro You're right. Pereira was having a hard time with Izzy's grappling so Chimaev would maul him easily.
Yeah that's what I want too. Khamzat vs Periera
khamzat has beat no one at middleweight and pereira just had a 5 round war he won’t be ready in january
good interview
Suddenly Izzy doesn’t want another shot if khamzat wins the belt from Alex 😂
Khamzat vs colby, usman, leon, israel, alex, paulo... bruh It's hard to predict who this guy will fight.. it's like a hitman hired by the mafia is assigned to get paid from every door.. 💀
Clout chaser who can’t make weight 🤡🤡🤡
True af I think this guy will have at least 1 belt in 2023 idk what weight tho
and nearly messed it up vs gilbert who put an absolute beat down on khamzat
We miss you Khamzat fight soon !!
Izzy and chimave is the best logic, and great style match-up
Brett 'yes man' Okamoto asking those hard hitting questions
