It's not just the fact khamzat wasn't active for a year. Covid almost killed him, khamzat thought he'd never fight again, then went through depression, changed a bunch of the personnel behind him during training and then showed up and mauled a legend of the game. WOW
Khamzat has become a real professional now. He said his training camp for Whittaker was the first time he ever had nutritionists and doctors, which explains why he made weight and didn't get injured or sick because he's actually recovering and not over-training. I think we're going to see active Khamzat again, albeit one that fights every 6 or so months and probably only in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Ilia Topuria is a cheat code of a fighter. Beautiful boxing. Relative to his amazing grappling skills, his boxing is quite a new addition but yet he looks like a veteran in that department. Perfectly well rounded. He’s only 27. I don’t think anyone beats him in his division. Khamzat gave us a “Yall must’ve forgot” type of performance. No one wants to watch Mr. Jab-Teep weirdo-Strickland against Dricus again.
@@ItsameAlex His Philly shell jab merchant style? He's all talk and no bite. He's done, khamzat gets the title, Period. I was never a khamzat supporter but now I really want him to get the belt. He's proven himself enough.
@@judah9906 That person is probably more of a fan of Strickland the weird idiot person that he is and lifelines that to justify their affection for his fight style.
Bo Nikal and Dricus du Plesis i am sure can. Bo can stop Chimaev from getting to hes dominant positions not sure what esle he can do. DDP can just out neanderthal chimaev and somehow win like he always does.
Whittaker will never be the same again with that injury. I wish him speedy recovery. I hope he retires, I don't want to see him losing like tony fergurson.
Nah, this is not the type of injury that alters a fighter's trajectory. It's not a horrific KO that shatters a fighter's chin, or a blown out ACL that could compromise their mobility forever. It's just his teeth, which a) will heal just fine after the procedures are done, and b) have very little bearing on a fighter's ability to fighter once healed.
@@therainman7777that is not quite true, it weakens the jaw considerably, it also changes the geometry of his face even with corrective procedure. He will be out for at least a year if he is sensible. His jaw collapsed the procedure used are bone grafts, surgical wiring or plates. 6 month recovery time then an unspecified amount of time to test the jaw and hope for no repercussions
@@Fluxdeluxe1 Ah I had heard earlier today that the latest update was the injury was only to his teeth, and not really his jaw. If that’s not true then that changes things.
I agree with Strickland but I think do finishes khamzat, Ddp is so strong and doesn’t stop coming forward. Khamzat was tired from like 3 minutes of fighting with Whittaker, I don’t see khamzat subbing ddp early and I think ddp is strong enough to hold his own in the grappling. If they fight I think ddp finishes him in the 4th
@@kurt6708 khamzat was not that Tired. Whittaker was way more tired Look at his face on the ground lol. But i think no one is going to want to fight Khamzat now he proven he is the most dangerous guy. Which is not the best thing to do because no one is going to want to risk getting there jaw broke like rob did. The same thing will happen to DDP if he just keeps coming forward. Rob said he was going to bring the fight to Khamzat which is just not smart. Only way i see beating Khamzat is landing a really powerful hit when he shoots for takedown because he shoots takedown kind of far away. Khamzat fights like a angry Khabib lol
Chris Barnett is actually a rlly gd fighter with 23 wins and 18 KOs and his specialty is spinning head kicks he’s a rlly special fighter and deserves a place in the UFC
Illa read Max halfway through round 2 he was reading Max making Max throw just for the sake of it and he was forcing Max into positions open to the power punches
It’s one thing when fighters go on win streaks to the top with their technical skills and all that, but when a fighter rises up the ranks and is leaving behind a trail of blood, destruction and hospital bills that’s when you realize there’s a different animal in the sport now
The moment khamzat gets the title shot is the moment Du plessis can say good bye to his title. I think realistically speaking du plessis has a 1% lucky punchers chance thats about it
Yeah, no. Du plessis is freakishly strong and fights like no one else. You can't really plan for that guy and taking him down and mauling him would be ten times more difficult than with Whittaker. Don't sleep of du plessis, dude is a freak just like Khamzat...
CORRECTION. Everything dude said about Rob’s injury is completely false. His jaw is fine, just teeth got pushed back, recurring injury. He just did an interview with RedCornerMma on RUclips. And he explains it all.
Max and Volk have fought a total of 75 minutes and neither knocked each other. Topuria does that to both in under 25 minutes, a third of their fight time totaled. legend
It’s been long since i have been this depressed over a loss. I’ve been worried for years if “is this the fight where Maz gets KOd” and now it’s happened.
Chris Barnet is actually a pretty good fighter with some very impressive performances. Also that was the most in shape he has looked in his career. Big fan Brian but do some more research on these guys!!
4:55 I do believe, it’s not just words, I do believe that his kid & him getting sick has changed him for the better. Actions speak louder than words & his actions where seen at the pre fight press conference, the face offs, the walk out to the fight etc, interviews even, he was just calmer, like he’s more humble, we all know what he can do & know he’s scary, he doesn’t have to go all wild. We know the Wolf is lurking & I think he knows this now as well.
Khamzat is an absolute savage, it's a different type of strength that he posses, not a wight lifting type strength but just a natural strength that's hard to put into words. If you have ever wrestled or fought a wrestler you'll know what I'm taking about. You get some guy who doesn't look that strong until they grab ahold of you and you're like wtf. Khamzat just needs to keep focused but he could be the most talented fighter the UFC has ever produced.
Come on Brian, Chris Barnett is actually pretty awesome. He’s got 2 wins in the UFC and is super popular with the fans. Would be a great podcast guest imo
It’s because you have two hands pulling the left hand across the chin and the right hand crotch of his elbow is also pulling back usually guys don’t go 100 on the chin
If you actually watch the final sequence, you can see khamzat elbow Rob in the jaw and then the squeeze happens not long after. I think he possibly fractured it right before the face squeeze.
Rob’s jaw is not broken, smashed, or destroyed - despite what an online doctor said after watching it on his phone. His bottom 3 front teeth got pushed in, that’s it.
Who actually cares what McGregor says or thinks anymore seriously? I hate the way his name is gettin roped into something that he has nothing to do with 😂
bryan you cannot be talking like such a casual about chris barnett. if you haven’t seen his spinning back kick KO then you can’t speak on his athleticism.
That face crank on Whittaker by Khamzat was nasty, ive trained MMA and when being submitted I rather get choked out then have my face crushed, its the most painful thing that can happen to you even with a mouth guard on 😁😬

bro notice how causals who despise khamzat saying "whittaker knocking him out" "khamzat getting destroyed" slowly turning into khamzat fans , i find that hilarious😂
Toupia is the future, Connor is the past, would be an epic event, though imo there is only one outcome and winner , I could be wrong but i doubt it, love and luck to both.

Topuria is the New GOAT
Barnet is pretty athletic tbf, he throws wheel kicks, does flips etc
by geordie's logic brian ortega isn't athletic
lol he just found out who Barnett is last night, don't take his videos too seriously
What Topuria said in response to McGreggor is spot on. And lets be honest, Topuria would destroy that coke head.

Big love Brian. Loving all your content lately. Really good stuff! Kindest regards, Richard U.K

Always love your break downs post fight. Much love from Australia mate, keep doing what your doing love it..

Looking back, maybe Max should have met Ilia in the center.
Great video man. Love your way of narrating. Very dynamic and entertaining ✌️

That shows how good Usman is, on short notice to bring such a performance at not his weight class 😮
No one but you silly lot thought Whit had a chance. Every other sensible human knew Khamzat was going to destroy that lad.
