Chael Sonnen actually called him "HAZMAT" 😂😂😂
Our wishes came true! 🤣
he's trolling, right? he's so serious with it that I genuinely can't tell lmao
He felt better when he called Usman "Kamara"
He didn’t called him right even once😂
@@Doma2579 Imagine if he mentioned Belal 🤣
Blown my mind away how Chael still mispronounce their name like in one of his youtube videos, but in front of their faces. Still the GOAT.
he has to be doing it on purpose💀💀 i think it’s just a chael thing, who’s gonna tell him otherwise???
If uncle Chael can whoop everyone on the 5th floor, he can mispronounce names in front of anyone. Still undeafeated.
Chael doesn't mispronounce anything
@@intraterrestrial5035 Chael wrote the rule book on RULES 😂😂
@@upgrade3004205 goat, obliterated Jon Jones big toe to hold the title, he’s not scared
Usman: As I'm sure he's excited for the matchup, and so am I.😄
Khamzat:😈

i wanna see pereira vs khamzat staredown 😂
it is khazmat for that video
lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 4:10 it really kills it
@@f1ahlol he can only wrestle Pereira but P is also learning wrestling now.
6:19 Khamzat switching to the psychopath stare, and Usman laughs straight after 😁
Bro this is visually hilarious with Khamzat smiling creepily n usman sitting there like hes on a job zoom call😂
Hamzat looking like he's gonna take a body, he has evil thoughts going through his mind
Lol
hahaha so true
Khamzat hates fast english
Technically he is on his job’s zoom call.
And after I don't know how many vlogs Chael did on Khamzat to this day he still calls him Khazmat.
Honestly Chael was a awful choice for this one hes just an odd guy whos kinda annoying and yaps when he already stated the main question could have been way better with DC or Brad
Bro would be dyslexic if he knew how to pronounce it.
@@jleonlove7965nah

Mf looks insane!!!
6:25 had me dead personally
Chael the only man that works for bellator and UFC at the same.
LOL
Undefeated undisputed 😂
The champ works for whoever he wants!
American gangsters play both sides
He's also done promotion for ONE FC, Eagle FC, and PFL
"Hazmat", "Khazmat", "Kamara" what the hell has Chael been drinking? hahah

Usman trying to understand khamzat 😂😂😂
He knows khamzat will KO him
@@Crayawni funny
@@Crayawni okey
I don't know man... Look at khamzats fight with burns.. look at what Usman did to burns... Not having picked up any injuries in a long camp, he's fresh, doesn't have to cut weight.... I mean. Idk man this fight is a lot closer than I think most people think it will play out. I've heard a lot of people I respect saying the same thing (DFS by The Numbers) ... But I just don't see it.
We shall see though
Nah.
Not at all. He just want to know how to manage this big crazy wolf 🐺 Props to him.
Both are warriors
khamzat surprisingly calm i hope he matured from burns fight when he was emotional
calm? he moves his head a lot in this interview
@@besmart2350 lool bruh
I think his last answer was a great sign of growth. He basically said he cant predict cause anything can happen and his job is to be prepared for anything. It seemed like he learned alot vs Burns, and getting chewed out by his coach at the end of the second round was something he needed. Khamzat threw away everything they trained for and just went to fight for his fans, he underrestimated Burns heavily. I know he doesnt underestimate Kamaru now so I expect a more patient Khamzat, but more technical and same tenaciousness, and thats pretty scary. I think hes gonna sell himself amazingly. However, the door for him making a huge mistake and an experienced Kamaru captilizes off of it does worry me
4:14 looking at Khamzat Chimaev face we know it’s to go be a wild Saturday.
😈
Marty will win you will see
One of the GOATs and one of the best all-time wrestlers in MMA history... interviewing Usman and Chimaev!
Thank you Uncle Chael for yet another flawless performance! 🙏
Seriously? Haven't seen much wrestling from him. A lot of td defense
@@jaxchristian6408He's talking about Chael.
unprofessional, calling Khamzat - Hazmat
@@jaxchristian6408Chaels Wrestling was world class fr 😂
That joke is dead now. Chael never won the belt and lost so many times 😂😂😂why do you guys keep calling him a Goat.
Both guys know that both deserve respect. That’s why they didn’t talk trash
Both are Muslim, and both used to be managed by Ali Abdulaziz .
@@romeokeoni7450 Abdelasleeze*
True I get that both have respect but I feel like Kamaru is missing an opportunity to get in Khamzat's head. Khamzat seems to get easily triggered. Kamaru talking a big game would also hype the fight even more.
@@GoldStandardPlaysbut that’s not how usman is it goes against his whole personality just to talk shit for views
Nahhh… Khamzat has been trash talking Usman before now. He just didn’t expect the fight with Usman will happen. But then he also knows that if he trash talks, he will stir up Usman because Usman will use what he says against him in the Octagon
Khamzat has really grown a lot since the Gilbert fight. He was always so overconfident in his skills saying he will KO everyone but when he reached the top of the game he realised that these guys dont go away so easily and that there are levels to this. Much respect to both men, I wish them but the best.
He was just saying that because it was the only thing he knew to say in English lol. His English was very limited.
Its because he knows how good Usman is and what a Monster he was lol. I bet you if this was Paulo Costa Khamzat would have said I smesh you I finish you all the time and trashtalk him😂
@@nme_mmanah he also know Usman is much more dangerous than Costa the fact that he doesnt even give a prediction tells you he has crazy respect even vs Burns he said all that
But he will K.O him 😈
After the first Hazmat, I was thinking “Oh must have been a mistake, Chael won’t do it again”
Chael proceeds to call him hazmat through the whole interview 😂
i was laughing so hard on him like bruh who tf is Hazmat XD
Didnt he actually say `Kamara` too a couple of times? :D
Kazmat
@@RatBonez11it’s pronounced Haam-zat not Haz-mat
@@RatBonez11 Nobody's talking about the K, you weirdo. Chael is literally switching the m and z
Kamaru fight 5 round fight since May 2018 . 6 yrs straight this guy fighting for 5 round fights . That’s bad ass.
It’s easier to understand khamzat’s English when he’s screaming
Khamzat looking like a hungry starving wolf throughout the whole interview😂🤣
Fake wannabe
I swear😂😂😂😂
He looked bored to me
@@devinw5150bro both look dead 😂
@@OldschoolDragster They might be cutting weight right now
Khamzat looked annoyed as hell whenever Chael call him Hazmat. 🤣
Also in his mind he says: “I’m wasting time here with these clowns brada, I should be go back training instead.”
I couldn’t stop laughing every time Uncle Chael said HAZMAT 😂😂😂 holy cow!! He can do it with straight face 😂😂😂
His trolling is hilarious
Called hazmit at one point lmao
This should be a 5 round fight
I'm really surprised that it isnt.
@@mrsain19how r u surprised? Only title fights and main events are 5 round fights
@@pekkale not always. there has been precedent of non-title/non-main event fights being 5 rounders. for example: Leon Edwards vs Nate Diaz.
which is what i said in the first place.
so not only are you wrong, you exposed yourself for not doing a drop of research before posting anything. typical internetter. log off.
@@mrsain19 did i hurt ur feelings?
@@pekkale lol yes. now apologize.
I am rooting hard for Kamaru.
@BaldVolkshow it
@BaldVolk😂😂
I’m rooting for KAZMAT
Yeah, I absolutely love how tough and devoted both fighters are, also like Chimaev's style, but on the other hand I want to see Kamaru win, because he's more composed and humble fighter. Chimaev tends to be way too full of himself and that's what I dislike about him.
Fr, Kamaru will finish Fake Kabib
Love how Chael moves the interview forward while Hazmat tries to find his teeth 😂
HAZMAT against KAMARA let's go!
4:13 ... who wants to fight THIS guy? Kamaru is the man!
Really kept calling this man hazmat and khamzat couldn't care less 😂 with that evil grin
Usman wearing the Ngannou shirt he a real one😎
They censored it in Embedded lol
4:16 Look this second chimaev look like hungry wolf😬🐺
Khamzat never actually answers the question asked 😂
Literally lmaaooooo
😂
He said in an interview with John Morgan that when he doesn't understand the question he just says 'smesh everybody' and the interviewer moves on
He just answer "smesh"😂😂
@@tsunax1400he doesnt give a shit. He just comes for the money and will fight anyone. Shows no fear. The confidence level is astounding just like khabib and islam
khamzat learned a lot from the burns fight. he acts like he hasnt for the camera's but he is different
i feel like he is only getting better, after such a long break im hoping to see some new ideas from Khamzat.
He actually acknowledged that one punch or kick to his head will be the end so since Gilbert fight he surely has learned lot
@@krishna57689usman has a bigger punch so let’s see how his chin holds up if he gets to crazy usman might knock him out
*Chael Sonnen should have a segment like this every UFC event.*
Drunk Conor McGregor vibes from Khamzat 😂
Bro had his mouth open and head back he’s on the stuff that helps you heal fast but also buffs you up 😭😭😭😭
Haram
Don't compare a wolf to a chicken
That's a dumb comparison
@@rman229 I heard in Jenah there is a river of wine 🍷 😂😂😂
Khamzat’s face 4:13 about to eat that man alive saturday
ayooooooo
I will always respect Usman... He's a real fighter. And real champion.
Its khmazats time, nobody is as exciting as this man is
@@OldschoolDragster if he's not missing weight
@@OldschoolDragster if only he was a little bit educated.
@@OldschoolDragster His last fight was over a year ago. If it's his time then his career is already a failure. Went from being one of the most undeservedly hyped fighters in the UFC, to getting exposed by Burns, then he disappeared for a year. Now all his hype is gone and no one cares about him anymore. If this guy fights once a year without actually achieving anything, he might as well retire. He never even fought for a belt and he's already down to one fight a year.
@@truthoverlies6434 He beat burns, wdym exposed hahaha
I like the level of respect these 2 warriors have to each other.
Usman is an All Time Great in the History of UFC and the WW G.O.A.T this is honest Straight facts whether you like it or not, The man always had that Greatness even at his Early states of his career what a freak of an Athlete Man just wow hopefully he'll be able to get that Victory at Abu Dhabi because no one deserves him more than he is they're really Underestimating and Doubting the Champ and he's the Underdog.. lol
Rofl 🤣 😂 🤣 weak comp.
Goat St Pierre
Gsp was a different level
@@jaxchristian6408gsp fought didnt fight the level competition usman fought leon, gilbert, sean strickland, tyron, RDA THOSE guys ARE all champions he beat all of them. 🐐 (Gilbert world champion jiu-jitsu champ i believe)
Gsp is ww goat lol
Khamzat🔥🔥🔥🌟🌟
Khamzat is that “bad boy” in class that doesn’t wanna be there 💀
Ayo chael doin these interviews is a great move by the ufc
Kamara and Hazmat are both amazing fighters !!!!
This was unintentionally too funny 😂
Kamara and Hazmat chael truly is a gem
Usman deserves every respect and praise for saving that card . Thank you Marty
they won't, unless you haven't detected racsm in the MMA world... If usman wins, it's a different story tho..
This gonna be a hell of a fight!!!
Kamaru is a hell of a competitor man
The way khamzat look to usman😂
Kinda love that khamzat isnt happy, feel like hes gonna run through usman and just be like “thats it?”
The way Khamzat be staring deeply into the camera is hella funny 😂😂. Lookin’ like he’s getting freaky.
Love the spirit of this fight, two great fighters
Хьамзат, Аллах1 Дала аьтто Бойла хьан! Чечня с тобой Борз!!! Мы все верим в тебя!
How's it feel to live under the rule of the war criminal/ war lord Ramzan Kadyrov who is Khamzats friend? 🇺🇲🇺🇦
Khamzat is such a psycho, all he needs is better fight IQ, if he has that he'll be great
ur not a Psychologist to call ppl psycho..I m a clinical psychologist and a clinical psychologist never called someone psycho ..but i can councel u ..only psycho called others psycho to hide a psycho of themselves
@@darkshade_mma wtf
@@darkshade_mma Psycho 😂
@@darkshade_mma "clinical psychologist" but misspells counsel lmaoo
He's decent but yeah he needs constent support and guidance from his corner
Khamzat sitting there trying to intimidate Kamaru with different emojis on his face is hilarious 😂😂😂
So it was Dana who decided the winner will fight for the middleweight belt and not Khamzat or Usman who asked for it.
I feel sorry for the other middleweights like Cannonier, DDP and Whittaker. They will have to wait 6 -12 months to get a title shot.
Lol cannonier and whittaker shouldn't be in the conversation
@@madworker1927 They are next in line after this winner, then DDP but their shot at the champion will get delayed.
DDP will probably be the guy who has to wait first of the 3, around 6 to 12 months. This will be a hard pill to swallow for someone who fought 3 times in 8 months and is now benched.
Yea once Izzy decided he was taking an extended break, this immediately became a title eliminator. That said, in regards to Usman, my guess is that he likely knew ahead of time that not only was Izzy taking time off, but that this fight would be an eliminator. Likely was an easy sell for him once the UFC came calling for a late replacement.
@@mrsain19 @Izzy and Usman are very good friends so it wouldn't surprise me if Izzy used his leverage to say Usman should get a shot at the beltif he wins as Izzy is not coming back for a long time, if at all.
I find it strange that Khamzat vs Costa winner doesn't get a shot at belt but after Khamzat vs Usman is announced because of Costa's injury then suddenly the winner gets a shot at the middleweight belt with neither asking for it.
Something happened behind the scenes that we are not privy to.
@@hector7129 I think Khamzat will destroy Usman without getting injured. Khamzat's wild behaviour might be a concern. He is rather unhinged outside the octagon.
Usman like a motivated employee at home office and Khamzat like the one whos always sitting on the toilet while a zoom meeting but does every project perfectly 😂
Love and respect for both fighters.
Chael like a proud father interviewing the fighters these days, proud of he's work 😁
The way Chael called Khamzat Hazmat 💀🤣
Uncle Chael is the best there ever will be…he has also never lost a single round
I love this version of chimaev..... not much talking, just like he started .... The Burns built up was not my favourite...... This is the real khamzat from what i know
I don't want to say he got humbled a little after the Leon fights but i could say he's different now he doesn't have that Pressure on him being a champion and Dealing with the Media, Content, Advert stuffs this sh1ts sometimes hits to the nerves and changes your mindset and like i said after his last fight i think Usman has becomed much Better, Humble and Beware person now he has nothing to lose his Legacy is big and still Aiming for the Big Dreams and Motivating himself for them and for these kind of little things i really think he'll be able to Put a biig Stone cold, High Class Performance at Abu Dhabi and Remind everyone who he is and What kind of a Champion he is 🇳🇬🙏
that look by Khamzat at 4:15 would have made me so scared bro 😭
If chamaev studies for the next three years every day his intelligence level can match a small marble
Hazmat looks like hes here for hostage negotiation.
So hyped to see this fight. I used to hate Usman but seeing how humble he's become all of a sudden and how he took the fight on such short notice makes me have massive respect for him now. And he looks much better at 185, he looks very filled out, and hes so much more technical than Costa. And Chimaev is literally the grim reaper of the division, this man has displayed such a rare type of ferocity that hasn't been seen in a long time. He runs through everyone with no mercy. Seeing these 2 fight is gonna be insane
Leon humbled him
Same with me, I think Usman has grown as a man and watching him and Justin work together has made me a huge fan. I hope Usman wins, and can humble Hazmat... :)
@@christophergallagher3845 Its true Leon humbled him after he couldn't find success in the trilogy. Sometimes when a fighter gets humbled their confidence never comes back fully. Sometimes they start to become more complacent. Sometimes they try to play a facade where they pretend their ego wasn't checked at all by the humbling. Usman is different. He took the first opportunity to go after the belt of a heavier weight class knowing he would have to wait for somebody else to beat Leon before having the opportunity to get that belt back. Taking the fight vs khamzat at 170 to push other contenders away from the title kinda like Max Holloway does was what he initially tried to do and nobody thought it was a smart idea. Now he does it at 185 as a means to get the mw belt. You have to dare to be great before you can be great
Idk how it took all that to respect Usman. Dominated everybody for years, never missed weight, active af
Except Gilbert, who usman finished.
Damn that Leon head kick shot that sent kamaru to the multi verse left him with a lazy eye wtf 😂 his eye is lazy as Sh!t now
wasn't his eye always like this? Also Khamzat has this condition also it seems like and many other fighters too. (even non fighters have this). Anyways, I wish them good health. They put their health on the line just to entertain us
Chimaev looks tired
He always looks and sounds like this tbh prob just got done training
1:36 THE CHAMP IS HERE “DESEAN STRICKLAND” FTW
No one has ever done a better job managing their brand publicly while saying as few words as Khamzat
Chimaev looks like a beast 😂. Kamaru is in for war..and on short notice 😊
Respect for both i cant wait.
KHAMZAT❤
Respect for both fighters
Kamara vs Hazmat is going to be a great fight
Chael pronouncing names is undefeated 😂😂😂 been this way for years like come on chael 😂😂
Se siente la tensión de los dos lados...esperemos que kamaru vaya lo mejor entrenado que pueda y esto es una guerra garantizada
No se siente tension no mms 😂
It was nice to see a respectful interview with zero trash talking.
6:22 Khamzat r*pe face 🤣🤣
Imagine making a joke out ouf r*pe
The Khamzat Staredown at 6:23 is wils
Chael is ridiculously good as an interviewer and a great orator in general.
? He over-complicated questions for "Hazmat" and never let him finish, wtf you talking he's horrible
@@karnazacssnah nah what are you talking, he is very good
Chimaev wanted to frighten Kamaru by staring like that!
Bruh i don't want anyone in the co-main or main event to lose😔
Khamzat isn't impressed with this interview.
He looks eager to get this fight underway!
What a fight 🔥🔥💥💥 can't miss it
Did Chael say “Khazmat”?……
Omg he did.
Not just once! Do you know why? Because Chael can.

Both respect of this amazing fighters. Good Luck Kamaru & Khamzat! God bless 🙏
Chael pronounces both their names wrong on purpose, what a 🐐
I feel Usman isn't the same after that head kick which kinda hurts.
You folks invented those head kick lies in your heads even without having a head kick.
So this is where the khamzat Rizz meme came from
He really said hazmat and kimura
Rooting for Kamaru but his chances are extremely low here
lmfaoooo
😂😂
4:15 just look at Chimaev face 6:22
Uncle Chael gets rewarded with the interview for making the prediction.
Кто за Хамзат❤❤
I love chael! GREAT TO SEE HIM BACK
