      Nothing we have ever seen from Colby or khamzat leads to that conclusion.
      Even if you think khamzat would win, it’s not at all clear or obvious that he would destroy him
      Khamzat had a war with Gilbert. Is it obvious Gilbert would destroy Colby ? If Gilbert can stand with khamzat, Colby definitely can. And Colby has better wrestling than Gilbert. So..

    Colby has good striking. Not near the best. Not near the worst. Just good striking. Chimaev is a little untested there. The time he striked mostly, he almost got KO'd a couple times but he also nearly KO'd Burns but again, as we know, Burns is a little chinny with CERTAIN shots (straight shots). It's a very good matchup. The only bad thing about this matchup is the size difference between the two. Chimaev is a weight bully in this division.
