This is a make-or-break fight for both fighters.
- Khamzat = a 1.5-round fighter.
- Kamaru = a 5-round fighter.
- Khamzat struggled with Gilbert Burns, for 3 straight rounds, it was an ordeal.
- Kamaru struggled with Gilbert Burns, for 30 seconds, after which he pieced him up, and kicked his ass, finishing him.
Conclusion:
Khamzat Chimaev has about 1.5 rounds of "chance" against Usman, after which Usman's quality, experience, and longevity will break Chimaev into pieces.
Barring an early, quick, KO, I have Usman breaking Khamzat, who may soil the UFC floor by the pressure, especially if this is a 5-rounder.
