Dana White is always punking on DC, especially during the Contender Series. It’s not only super unprofessional but can you imagine having your boss call you stupid on live TV? Especially when you’re a recently retired MMA double champion and he’s an 80’s boxercise instructor? I’m glad DC got his tiny bit of revenge.
I was glad Joe didn't let him off the hook on that. Sometimes Joe's irritating when he presses fighters, but Khamzat needs someone to remind him that this is a sport and not just "smeshankillevrybuddymutherfucka"
Nate's been ragdolled once already, he got suplexed 3 times back to back to back lmao...Kamzhat weighing about 200lbs would have thrown him around even worse.
I always think the US need more chants. During the London cards each home fighter got their own tune. It would be cool to see Dustin, Chandler, Tony etc get a personal chant.
But Khamzat came across as a legit heel in the post fight interview. Like a WWE heel, with the beard and everything. It’s weird because I get the sense that he is a nice guy
Really? I think this went 100% as expected. Khamzat didn’t have to make weight. And Holland is terrible against wrestlers. I think even Holland was expecting this.
Iole tweeted that Khamzat wasn't fined and didn't forfeit any of his purse because the Holland fight was at 180. Holland probably got paid nicely though for towing the line.
I thought Khamzat didnt relinquish anything from his purse bc of the weight agreement. Apparently the fact that the fight was agreed to be at a catchweight between Holland and Chimaev removed any penalties.
I honestly believe we have already seen Khamzat fight his toughest challenge in WW division aka Burns. I think colby is just too small and scrawny, I wouldn't be surprised if Khamzat ragdolls him.
Went as expected. I don't know why anybody expected anything else seeing as Khamzat is an incredible wrestler and Holland is incredible at being wrestlefucked.
While I think you're right, Chimaev should have to take another fight at WW before he gets a title shot to prove he can actually make weight. I hope the UFC don't just gloss over the weight miss at least.
Khamzat is probably the best fighter at showing there’s a huge gap in ability. He has so much confidence in his abilities that he can finish both the Leech and Kevin Holland without taking a single hit. Better more cautious fighters probably play it a little more safe and get touched with a jab before they get the takedown
Dunno why it has to be said, but IGNORING a glove touch is different from FAKING a glove touch. Chimaev just ignored him and feinted high and went low for the takedown like he ALWAYS does.
He said the doctor stopped him from cutting in the post fight. It's a Costa Vettori situation and everyone will forgive and forget about the miss weight.
I don't think so. Joe got him to specify that he thinks he could've made weight but was stopped by the doctor. This is good for Khamzat because it gives him plausible deniability for some people. The alternative would be him dodging the question entirely, which would give him nothing.
How do people still fall for it and square their hips when Khamzat shoots every time within the first 3 seconds. Just spend the 1st round running. There's no set up. You know he's going to shoot. It happens every one of their fights.
That’s the problem. With no set up and from distance he can shoot and get to peoples hips. He also flows very well. Starts from a single, transitions to the back, and kept control while Holland grambied. His wrestling is crazy.
Especially after they already touched gloves by Herb lol. So stupid. Result would've been the same though. Khamzat was throwing him around like he's a hotel pillow.
I don't care what anybody says. Chimaev missing weight was planned as shit. Diaz fight never made sense, I think it's Dana sending a message that he could literally have him killed in the octagon.
I hate that these fighters try to dap each other up during the round . You literally just touched gloves before the fight. I would say it was cheap, but it’s not.
I think fighters that are scared of taking damage do this. Till vs Wonderboy had more high fives than significant strikes. The fight took place in Liverpool and Till was really playing to not lose. Wonderboy was typical "I didn't let my hands go". It was so friendly it was bizarre--UFC:ultimate friendly companionship
What is the difference between Paulo and Khamzat missing weight. I still like both fighters and I don't hate Kevin/Nate or Marvin. Yet yall hated Marvin then hated Costa and then loved Marvin for winning and then loved Paulo for twitter but then liked Luke for going the distance and then like Paulo again for talking shit to Khamzat. Seriously yall too emotional for me.
Honestly can't see how anyone didn't see this coming. Still fuck the weight miss and no punishment. The only one to lose here was Holland on all fronts.
Wonder if Connor McGreggor pulled the shit Khamzat did would people be saying the same shit. I quite like the heel Khamzat. He's a lunatic, but he's very entertaining.
Burns is fucking good man, he can hang with the best WWs on the feet or the ground even if he doesn’t get the win, he was dangerous with Usman and Chimaev.
Watch the "second" time Holland attempts to roll out of Chimaevs hold, Chimaev has his head against the mat and his left hand next to it, he essentially slammed Holland back into position with one arm. Freak.
This dude is so fucking terrifying. We all forgot after burns but this guy might be the best wrestler on the planet. It happened so fast I wish I could replay it
Burns is at the top of the division for a reason, as talented and durable as they come. That said, Khamzat jumped into the deep end even though he is green and held his own even though he abandoned the game plan. If he actually followed what his coach wanted, it would have ended very differently, even with Gilbert.
Mirrors / Alternate angles
Like DC shooting on Dana
I actually laughed at loud when DC said that. Just the thought of DC body-slamming Dana is funny.
I missed it. What did DC say?
Not a single strike thrown
A classic line was born. Can't wait for the memes.
Dana White is always punking on DC, especially during the Contender Series. It’s not only super unprofessional but can you imagine having your boss call you stupid on live TV? Especially when you’re a recently retired MMA double champion and he’s an 80’s boxercise instructor? I’m glad DC got his tiny bit of revenge.
Khazmat- “I don’t care about making weight. I kill everyone.” Joe-“you gotta make weight though.”
NO make weight. ONLY fight for belt!!
I was glad Joe didn't let him off the hook on that. Sometimes Joe's irritating when he presses fighters, but Khamzat needs someone to remind him that this is a sport and not just "smeshankillevrybuddymutherfucka"
hey as long as the ufc accommodates him, he's not wrong.
I lost brain cells listening to that post fight interview.
Evil khabib arc continues
Haram khabib
[удалено]
Bizzaro Khabib
Wabib
Imagine that was Nate lol, what a way for his UFC career to end.
Nate's been ragdolled once already, he got suplexed 3 times back to back to back lmao...Kamzhat weighing about 200lbs would have thrown him around even worse.
If he subbed Nate, this sub would meltdown
He would throw Nate around worse than Rory did.
He would’ve made light work of Nate too
They really were going to feed Nate Diaz to this motherfucker
Dana sends his regards
[удалено]
The villain arc is extremely good marketing tbh
People gonna love hate Khamzat like he’s their ex wife
Really took that bullet for Nate eh?
If he would’ve just done Nate like that he might’ve saved him some damage. This main could be a dog fight.
The USA chants almost worked
It fueled khamzat even more
I always think the US need more chants. During the London cards each home fighter got their own tune. It would be cool to see Dustin, Chandler, Tony etc get a personal chant.
HIPP HIPP
probably shouldve picked a better time than while their man had his face stuck in khamzats crotch to start the chants
USA chant is the new curse, Charles finished Chandler, Dustin and Justin after USA chants too
But Khamzat came across as a legit heel in the post fight interview. Like a WWE heel, with the beard and everything. It’s weird because I get the sense that he is a nice guy
Another fight with no significant strikes taken
Essentially 5 of 6 UFC fights without being touched. Kind of hard to fathom.
My Khamzat is rattled theory in the mud
Need that fight vs Colby
So many armchair psychologists in the weigh in thread. Even tho I wanted Holland to win I’m so glad those nerds got shown up.
Kevin Holland is the real hero saving Nate Diaz from a mauling
This was like throwing a mouse into a snake tank. Wasn't expecting it to be THIS one sided.
Yup. Looked like a snake or tiger tightening their death grip around their food.
Really? I think this went 100% as expected. Khamzat didn’t have to make weight. And Holland is terrible against wrestlers. I think even Holland was expecting this.
Imagine if he didn’t go for the glove touch. I wanted at least 5 seconds on the feet lol
kevin wouldve been wrestlefucked either way, but i wanted some kung fu action wtf man
I'm surprised DC and Joe aren't even mentioning that lol. Did they seriously not see that?
Yeah, thought he was going for glove tap too. 🤔
Lol at joe rogan trying to talk sense into him
That would take a whole podcast. Dude's out of his mind.
He tried his best but this post-fight Khamzat is just insane
Honestly Holland had better wrestling defence than I expected. Those scrambles were impressive while they lasted
Yeah, that really put in perspective how good khamzat's wrestling was.
God damn khamzat just steamrolled Kevin like he was nothing
He would do the same thing to most Middleweights and Welterweights
Consistency has been Kevin’s weak point since his first day on TUF. His win over Souza is still surprising to me.
People forgot who khamzat is
Unfortunate for Holland but expected. The only upside to this it’s that he got the Bag Khamzat threw away on the scales.
Iole tweeted that Khamzat wasn't fined and didn't forfeit any of his purse because the Holland fight was at 180. Holland probably got paid nicely though for towing the line.
He wasn't fined since it was a catch weight. At least that's what was reported.
Agreed i'm more surprised how good kevin was able to survive. His scrambling was pretty insane
I thought Khamzat didnt relinquish anything from his purse bc of the weight agreement. Apparently the fact that the fight was agreed to be at a catchweight between Holland and Chimaev removed any penalties.
I find myself agreeing with you, but it’s funny that not dying for 2 minutes is considered “REALLY well” against Chimaev.
Khamzat is absolutely crazy he rag dolls people like it's nothing. MMA needs Khamzat vs Colby more than ever
How good is Gilbert Burns tho
Colby is never in his life signing that contract
Colby dodging that one to the end of his days, I don't think he'll ever fight Chimaev.
The more Khamzat fights, the less Colby wants it
Colby hasn't beat anyone that's not washed in years, he'd get wrecked.
He rag dolls himself in perfect precision. Amazing wrestling. Never seen anything like that.
I honestly believe we have already seen Khamzat fight his toughest challenge in WW division aka Burns. I think colby is just too small and scrawny, I wouldn't be surprised if Khamzat ragdolls him.
Not Touched 1x, again? Ffs. That's 4 fights now without being hit 1x.
I guess it's hard to hit a backpack when you're wearing it lol.
Nate would have died, not ganna lie….
Colby vs khamzat , American wrestling vs Chechen wrestling...
ran through him like a laxative
Bit of a wierd analogy
[удалено]
‘Please bro holland has a chance bro I swear’
like a hot knife through butter
That initial TD and scramble was crazy. Khamzat’s so fast
"That looks like me shooting on Dana White" -DC
That was scary
I got downvoted on here for saying Khamzat would destroy Kevin. I hate that I was right.
Khamzat will do to Masvidal what Ben Askren failed to do
[удалено]
Thank god he didn’t fight Nate. Khamzat is a fuckin monster.
Khamzat vs Colby is the fight to make
Usman and Colby would be great matchups. Costa would be great too.
4th fight without taking one strike wtf he’s getting more damage in sparring and press conferences
God damn was there even a strike thrown?
Nope, another fight with 0 strikes absorbed
Went as expected. I don't know why anybody expected anything else seeing as Khamzat is an incredible wrestler and Holland is incredible at being wrestlefucked.
Getting the fist bump pre-fight was more than I expected. I'm surprised Kevin went for it at the beginning of the round too.
Ben askren crying as he's watching this
Didn’t expect everyone to be so salty! It would’ve delayed the end by about 5 seconds probably.
There is no Juctice
First leech and now this. Feeling Tony getting shadow realmed in the future
Kevin actually got a lot better at wrestling than he used to be. Fought more valiantly than he could’ve a year ago. But to no avail.
I find peace in the fact that Diaz didn’t have to go through that for his last fight
ThE BoOs GoT tO hIm
People are about to ride the hype train again and forget the weight miss ever happened.
All part of the UFC plan. Look into it
While I think you're right, Chimaev should have to take another fight at WW before he gets a title shot to prove he can actually make weight. I hope the UFC don't just gloss over the weight miss at least.
Was always going to happen.
Khamzat is probably the best fighter at showing there’s a huge gap in ability. He has so much confidence in his abilities that he can finish both the Leech and Kevin Holland without taking a single hit. Better more cautious fighters probably play it a little more safe and get touched with a jab before they get the takedown
I mean it’ll work. Y’all went right back to loving Costa for no reason.
Dunno why it has to be said, but IGNORING a glove touch is different from FAKING a glove touch. Chimaev just ignored him and feinted high and went low for the takedown like he ALWAYS does.
Did Khamzat just say he knew he was fighting Kevin the night before weigh in?
UFC knew he wasnt making weight, so they made a fake story line of Holland and Kamzat getting into a backstage fight. Its basically the WWE, lol.
Khamzat absolutely steamrolled kevin holland. That was bonkers
He’s so good. Fuck him tho
He said the doctor stopped him from cutting in the post fight. It's a Costa Vettori situation and everyone will forgive and forget about the miss weight.
Being a heel is low-key more fitting for his career
The next fight to make is obviously Costa and they both just don’t make weight and fight at Light Heavyweight 🤣
Dana was really trying to kill Nate. Nate should be thanking Kevin Holland for saving his life.
All time bad post fight interview. Joe is having to remind him that weight actually matters. Lmao.
I kill everyone! - Khamzat
Dana told Joe to lecture him LMFAO
All time perfect interview for the full heel turn
I don't think so. Joe got him to specify that he thinks he could've made weight but was stopped by the doctor. This is good for Khamzat because it gives him plausible deniability for some people. The alternative would be him dodging the question entirely, which would give him nothing.
Fuck, BJJ Khamzat is a nightmare for everybody.
Absolutely astounding that there are dipshits out here saying that Khamzat was scared of Nate. Khamzat spared Nate's life.
He's so good x4
Kevin added Hamzat as one of the fighters he wants to workout with next summer
That fucking Khazmat boomed me
Honestly never seen a guy beat so many guys so easily before. He's needs a jump in competition. Diaz isn't good enough
How do people still fall for it and square their hips when Khamzat shoots every time within the first 3 seconds. Just spend the 1st round running. There's no set up. You know he's going to shoot. It happens every one of their fights.
He is extremely fast! Holland didn't even react to the first shot.
That’s the problem. With no set up and from distance he can shoot and get to peoples hips. He also flows very well. Starts from a single, transitions to the back, and kept control while Holland grambied. His wrestling is crazy.
Khamzat would have rested his balls on Nate's head and done whatever he wanted, wow
Holland has going for the high five at the start of the fight and khamzat went for the takedown.
Imagine what he would have done to Diaz
Rory vs Nate 2 but way worse, I think khamzat would throw nate outside of the octagon cage, if that isn't illegal
Why touch gloves Kevin whyyyyy
Especially after they already touched gloves by Herb lol. So stupid. Result would've been the same though. Khamzat was throwing him around like he's a hotel pillow.
None of this beef is real, they all just selling
The post-fight chat is like watching a 9 year old after necking a bottle of Mountain Dew and hopping in to a MW2 lobby chat.
I keel everybody in this lobby
I don't care what anybody says. Chimaev missing weight was planned as shit. Diaz fight never made sense, I think it's Dana sending a message that he could literally have him killed in the octagon.
I agree this was all a plan
I hate that these fighters try to dap each other up during the round . You literally just touched gloves before the fight. I would say it was cheap, but it’s not.
I think fighters that are scared of taking damage do this. Till vs Wonderboy had more high fives than significant strikes. The fight took place in Liverpool and Till was really playing to not lose. Wonderboy was typical "I didn't let my hands go". It was so friendly it was bizarre--UFC:ultimate friendly companionship
this reminds me so much of wrestling. khamzat is playing a perfect heel. very entertaining, can't wait to see what's next
100% perfect heel. people will pay to see him lose even more now.
I didn’t like this
I didn't like it. I loved it
What is the difference between Paulo and Khamzat missing weight. I still like both fighters and I don't hate Kevin/Nate or Marvin. Yet yall hated Marvin then hated Costa and then loved Marvin for winning and then loved Paulo for twitter but then liked Luke for going the distance and then like Paulo again for talking shit to Khamzat. Seriously yall too emotional for me.
they'll be back on khamzat's dick, not sure when but they will. i promise you that
Honestly can't see how anyone didn't see this coming. Still fuck the weight miss and no punishment. The only one to lose here was Holland on all fronts.
At least Holland said thanks to Khamzat for making him rich
WHAT THE FUCK BRO THAT WAS INSANE
Yeah there was no contest there.
Khamzat would have dunked Nate all over the place
Joe trying to explain weight classes to him is hilarious
I think he beats usman tbh
Wonder if Connor McGreggor pulled the shit Khamzat did would people be saying the same shit. I quite like the heel Khamzat. He's a lunatic, but he's very entertaining.
He’s so good x4
So glad he didn't make weight, I'd have been sick seeing Nate go through a wood-chipper like that on his last fight.
LMFAO REDDIT ON SUICIDE WATCH
Real talk I would not wanna be trapped in an octagon with any Chechen
At least Khabib wasn't a dickhead.
He is not called evil khabib for nothing!!!
Khabib was definitely a sportsman, and Abdulmanap being a judo and sambo guy probably had a lot to do with that.
Burns is fucking good man, he can hang with the best WWs on the feet or the ground even if he doesn’t get the win, he was dangerous with Usman and Chimaev.
Wow. That's scary
Khamzat will destroy Leon with ease.
No way nate would have survived that
Ragdolled him. Crazy strength from Chimaev
clowns in here on that hate circlejerk really convinced themselves Holland wasn’t gonna get finished in the first round lmao
One thing I think A lot of people are missing is that Kevin took no damage and could probably fight again next week.
Darce definitely fucked up his shoulder good.
Dang. Quick work.
Insane performance, I’m glad he missed weight because he might’ve killed Diaz
Joe attacking the weight. 10-8 Rogan
Nate Diaz dodged a bullet
Where are the people saying Holland had a chance? haha predictable, but at least it wasn't to an old, small Nate Diaz.
Watch the "second" time Holland attempts to roll out of Chimaevs hold, Chimaev has his head against the mat and his left hand next to it, he essentially slammed Holland back into position with one arm. Freak.
The MMA Gods are fickle
This dude is so fucking terrifying. We all forgot after burns but this guy might be the best wrestler on the planet. It happened so fast I wish I could replay it
Never hated someone winning so much
So glad I didn’t have to watch Nate go through that
The villain arc has truly started
Just how good is Gilbert Burns?
Burns is at the top of the division for a reason, as talented and durable as they come. That said, Khamzat jumped into the deep end even though he is green and held his own even though he abandoned the game plan. If he actually followed what his coach wanted, it would have ended very differently, even with Gilbert.
Khamzat: "Nobody can stop me." Also Khamzat: "The doctor stopped me"
Doctor Stoppage
[удалено]
[удалено]
He leaning into the hate. Full heel gourmet chicken incoming.
why go for the glove touch if you touched gloves a few seconds earlier already?
Khamzat would have legit murdered Nate in there 😐
Costa vs Chimaev please.
Is it too early to say vintage khamzat
Anyone got a gif of that sequence near the end where Holland is spinning on the bottom and Khamzat is just floating above him like a cloud?
Holland Black belt from where ? McDonald’s ?
