Fight of the Year

 

[World eater]

Let’s see if Rob can erase that 0.

 

[Shay Brennan]

Chimaev by submission round 1

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

Rob will murder Khamzat if he's still on top of his game. Obviously he has a lot of mileage so it's not guaranteed, but 2019 Whittaker would murk Khamzat with ease.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

War Goatmaev. Respect to Bobby.

 

[usernamee]

Chimaev starting his transformation to becoming an actual wolf with that beard.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Can't wait. Most anticipated upcoming MMA fight for me within the next few months for sure

 

[LeBron]

Two strong hairlines going at it.

If Whittaker murks Chimaev that means Whittaker is still on his game but also that Chimaev is a bum.

If Chimaev murks Whittaker it was clearly because Whittaker is not on his game and Chimaev is still a bum.

 

[Shay Brennan]

Whittaker has been hurt in 8 of his last 9 fights.
His chin isn't that good, he got dropped by a jab from DDP and Adesanya.

Borz can win this by KO as well.

Got clipped with a spinning wheel kick in his last fight and was recovered within 2 seconds. Whittaker's chin has never been granite, it's his recovery that's amazing.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Of course Chimaev picks one of the smallest Middleweights. ha ha

Still, getting dropped by a jab multiple times isn't good. Especially considering Chimaev has dropped Gilbert with a jab and GM3 with a cross.

Also, if DDP, Gastelum and Jacare can take him down then Borz can too.

If Whittaker murks Chimaev that means Whittaker is still on his game but also that Chimaev is a bum.

If Chimaev murks Whittaker it was clearly because Whittaker is not on his game and Chimaev is still a bum.

Chimaev just was simply never that good.

I'm not sold on that. Khamzat should be able to take Rob down with ease, however, I have no idea if we see Khamzat gassing again. He is still a strange fighter to evaluate.

 

[fizzlehiss]

Rob fights like a bigger better version of Burns. Should be interesting.

Romero wasn't able to and you think Khamzat will?

Khamzat getting pushed to the front of the line in a second division. Let's hope he doesn't find a way to screw this up. I think he's the favorite early in this fight. Bobby's chin isn't what it once was and he can't see incoming strikes as easily as he used to. He's also predictable with a ton of tape. If he can survive early, he's got a chance to win if this hits deeper waters. He just needs to be defensively minded the first ten minutes.

Romero is not an mma wrestler, regardless of his olympic credentials. Romero beat the fuck out of Whittaker on the feet though.
