A very very stiff test for Khamzat

 

[SpurNani]

This is Robs last chance

1st round should be interesting since Khamzat is freakishly fast and strong so he might shock the world early but I have a hard time seeing him deal with Whittaker’s footwork once the fight settles down and his cardio is a major concern. Whittaker’s jab, push kick, angles, TDD and output are looking like the perfect tools here for the job.

Whittaker by round 4 TKO is what I’m going by.

I thought Volkov - Almeida was already announced?

I’m assuming Almeida couldn’t get cleared so quickly after a brutal knockout loss.

wish it was izzy but can't be mad about rob getting this fight. good test to see if khamzat is belt material or a perennial keyboard champion

Holy shit what a fight!

 

[AstralPanda]

Will be difficult for even the most astute haters to deny Khazmat after he butchers Whittaker with ease. I'm sure a few will find a way though.

Totally agree. Khamzat may be the most dangerous first round opponent for anyone but I think Rob survives and makes it a war that he wins.

 

[Kourtland]

So I wonder who is fighting fighting for the belt

 

[DoctorStoppage]

I got Khamzat and I think he makes it look easy, with Rob showing his wear

 

[Luckyme]

Good fight but this does more for Khamzat than Whittaker. Rob should have held out for Strickland

Honestly I think this is the more interesting matchup stylistically

Izzy most likely and if he isn't ready they'll do a Sean rematch. But Izzy is in the gym and training so he should be good to go when he gets the call.

By the way this is a great fucking fight. Now we get to really see what Khamzat is made of.

 

[flektarn]

A good scrap and one of the few names khamzat kept out of his yap when he first was going up to MW.
Still would've preferred Izzy tho. Guess he thinks he deserves a TS after doing fuck all since getting dog walked by Sean.
