He showed a ton of maturity in the fight & on the mic. A win over Usman is quite a feather in the cap for Khamzat.
Yeah huge.Usman took it on 10 days and almost chined Khamzat.
@@selestial7still won tho 🤡
I think you should read what he said in russian after that speech
@@selestial7nah , your chocolate lover lost. Try coping litttle Dustin fan!
@@Mohammed-fu5zn no way omg he should get cancelled 🤯
His wrestling domination on Usman in the first round was unbelievable literally no one dominated Usman like that. He just couldn’t find the opening for a choke.
Usman slamming khamzat out of the choke attempt and possibly breaking his wrist... And khamzat stays on the back somehow??
Insane fight
Another most boring performance from Khamzat fighting
@@BrutalInsightsboring macam mak kau
@@rman229 AND STILL he doll and kept him down after that slam
If round 1 continued usman would end up being submitted guaranteed
Two things people aren’t acknowledging:
1. His beautiful speech in the post fight. That was a touch of class and articulated very well. He didn’t call out Strickland or even care about his performance. He went straight to raising awareness to those who are suffering.
2. Kamaru obviously wasn’t 100% but has anyone ever seen someone wrestle and take Kamaru down like that ever? I don’t think there’s another middleweight, let alone welterweight that could take Kamaru down w such ease.
U must not have heard of Bo Nickal then
@@Skipjj common Bo nickal meat rider appears
@@Skipjjtouché
@@Skipjj did bo nickal ever take Usman down mutliple times? Did bo nickal did crazy stuff with his first opponents like Khamzat did? Stfu casual
his post fight was truly amazing
People don't realize how big of a deal it is to out grapple Usman. Regardless of short notice, this is something Usman has done his whole life .
It would be a big deal if they were the same size and if Usman actually was in fight shape with a camp behind him. Weight is everything in wrestling, Usman was not prepared or bulked up to fight at MW, he was giving up at least 15-20lbs today. The best D1 wrestlers could lose to D2-D3 wrestlers 15lbs bigger than them.
1. weight class 2. no training camp 3. is Usman still Usman?
@@ruin3r They were the same size.
@@nft3
and Usman has
1- trevor wittman best coach 2- experience 3- advantage of being active 4- no broken hand -5 money for high level camp -6 black belt Brazilian jiu-jitsu
and for weight they were same idiot
@@ruin3r cry🤣🤣
I was always entertained by Khamzat but now I'm a fan. Not because of his performance, but because of his message after the fight. The violence needs to stop when innocent children are being hurt. It needs to end and people need to come together.
Ur not a fan of fighters for their fighting ability? Casual.
Only casuals throw that word around 😂
yes. I was worried he would just start pushing Palestine as a victim and take sides. Was a far more unifying message. Very humble and positive.
So, more Covid vaxxes for children?
@@mejohn101 bro he literally said after, in chechen, that he asks for permission from Kadyrov to go and fight for Palestine
Best TD defense in the UFC Usman had & Khamzat got him down immediately & sealed the win getting a TD. Freaky good wrestling.
Dunno buddy .. he clearly won 1st, no question there.
But did nothing on the ground in 3th a lost in striking .
And in 2nd while Usman didnt oustrike him as much as in 3th Usman still did landed more bigger strikes.
Imho should have been 2:1 for Usman. you can argue draw with 10:8 in first but for that he should do more damage.
@@r6201skWdym he controlled him in the third and had body shots.
@@r6201skHe injured his hand and absolutely dominated in the first round. 2nd and 3rd round weren’t good at all for his standard but you can’t forget he fought the WW Goat
Usman isn't the welterweight goat, GSP is
@@JK-rr1ub That’s your opinion, both were the best in the division for a long time. I believe Usman in his prime would beat GSP in his prime.
If it's realy broken, he just took down the guy with most take down defences, with one hand only 100%... beast
Beast lol. Hardly. All he did was put on a how to bear hug a guy tutorial and bore everyone to death. Then almost got knocked out on his feet then went back to trying to hug the guy again. Worst amateur looking fighter in ufc history
How did it break? Usman broke it
How could he do anything with a broken hand? Dude your hand is like one of the many weapons in fighting??
@@EddieJarnowskihe would completely destroy you & anyone in your family with a smile. He’s a beast
The guy who the most take down defense gets taken down 4 times in a fight 😂😂😂.
Humble Khamzat wasn’t expected. Respect.
I like humble khamzat
And after the fight, a photo of him with Kadyrov, who murders children in Ukraine respect
@@michatemplariuszmarten9976 sadly you cant get past this guy if you live there and want to do MMA.
@@michatemplariuszmarten9976not a choice in chechnya
U NEVER see Usman get man handled like that. Khamzat must have some scary strength. Had he not busted his hand i think he'd of dominated all 3 rounds.
Usman never got man handled wtf
@@Therealpeter10 he did, lol 🤣🤣
Dude we both know if that was championship fight 5 rounds .
Usman would have won ..
That was just getting started 3 round need to stop begin the standard for a co main
@@Therealpeter10round 1 yes he did
@@V1novatwere you even watching the fight? Round 1 he backpacked, still had his take downs stuffed, never had a successful takedown that was concerning. He just sat on him for about 4 mins. Then round 2 was just absolutely stale, then 3 was almost a repeat of round 1 but with a bit more action at the end. At one point usman was 7/10 on takedown defense in the 3rd round.
What I was more surprised was that a judge called that 28-28, and it was far from a draw. Khamzat did dominate a majority of the fight but he did not manhandle Kamaru like a rag doll.
Such a great human being! Greetings from USA!
Costa dodged a bullet!
Very humble. Good to see.
haha the ending was so cute:3 his hand was broken so he didn't want feel more acute pain with a handshake
It's pretty much clear this guy is a monster at grappling (nobody ever dominated usman on the ground like that) but he has holes in his striking, usman was actually hurting him and made the wrong move to go for a TD instead to push on striking. Chimaev has to work on that
Go coach him
@@Skipjjhe is right tho.
@@Skipjj pretty sure his coach is good enough and will tell him the same
why strike when you can just take people down lol
Once he figures out how to use angles in the pocket its over for everyone
Usman has only been taken down 5 times in his career. 4 of those 5 times happened in this fight.
With one hand
@@muzammilmohsin7259really??😂 😂😂
@@mbalimthembu8071 Nah, with 2 hands.
@@silentassassin423 No I'm pretty sure he broke his hand after that slam.
@@darkclaw1462 I don't really know how you're sure but okay... He still had 2 hands. Fighters get hurt quite often. I doubt a little hurting in his hand caused anything different.
He won with one hand 👊🏻 Legend 🔥
😂
super boring fight
Who said he had one hand just excuses
World people!😅 Bandwagon Creepers.
World people!😅 Bandwagon Creepers.
All the people trashing him on Twitter about being subpar, not knowing he broke his hand and still won.
Insane fighter, and Usman is a true warrior also for stepping up short-notice. Hopefully they rematch with full camps.
Observations from the fight :
1) A beautiful use of post-match-winning speech. Send a message of peace and unity to the world against violence.
2) A display of great mental state, when he expressed gratitude to UFC management for getting him where he and his family are today.
3) A brilliant display of dominance in R1 from Khamzat. A master display of defense from Usman. Not many could have avoided a choke from that position.
4) A mature way of approaching R2 from Khamzat, with an injured hand.
5) A complete nail-biting thrilling fight display in R3 from both the lions. Combination of striking, grappling, defense and respecting the opponents.
6) Khamzat's display of admiration for Usman through his post-match-winning gestures (tap on the shoulder post-match winner announcement), his words for him during the speech, and when he says 'He Made Me A Better Fighter Today'.
Khamzat hand getting injured evened out the odds for Usman for a short-notice fight. Made this a competitive contest.
Cant agree more
Thank you ChatGPT for this great observation.
@@mojo3717 lol
But what's really concerning me is him saying that he doesn't care about title and only cares about money to help his people back home
To see someone as passionate as him I really want him to prioritize legacy over money like KHABIB I hope it was just outta emotion and he's still that animal with the hunger of being the best.
@@disastergaming1009 of-course he would be as hungry to prove his metal in that octagon. It was said out of priority of the present, he wanted to help others ahead of his own ambitions. Greatness indeed!!
Is there no sound in this video or is it just in my end?
Won with the GOAT with one hand.
🐐 of 💩 😂😂😂

@@mynutsonyourchin2806cry later usman fanboy haha
@@warchiefrich4793 I’m not usman fanboy I said he’s not even close to being a 🐐
@@mynutsonyourchin2806I mean he just beat the guy who literally lap the division twice with one hand I say he getting there faster than a regular fighter
You can tell he hates interviews, just wants to win the belt, provide for his family, actually such a humble guy that came from nothing, respect!
haha the ending was so cute:3 his hand was broken so he didn't want feel more acute pain with a handshake
No its because its forbidden in his religion... talk about not knowing nothing about a person but asuming things@@ItsameAlex
No doubt in my mind he dominates the entire fight if he doesn't break his hand. He ran thru Usman in RD1. I don't think Strickland stands a chance..
In 5 rounds he does...Khamzat's kryptonite is 5 rounds...he slows down significantly as the fight goes on
@@elarabymohammed1 The problem is that if you want to go to round 4 and 5 you have to survive the 3 first ones, Strickland would have probably got submitted round 1 if he was in Usman's place
@@heroe1486 strickland is not a bum lol if conor can survive khabib then sean can definitely weather the storm at the start...
Thought we were done with underestimating him 😅
Strickland has too much cardio for khamzat
@@elarabymohammed1ya because conor and khabib is the same and mma math works….
He almost submitted usman until usman decided to slam him to release the choke.
@@lordswine50 at this point i think its easier to point out who is not a goat in the UFC.
Khamzat is a LOT more likeable when he's respectful and mature
The screaming and shouting gets old and feels forced
Well just like Colby gotta sell the fights some how.
his post fight interview was the best interview i’ve ever heard in my life. that was hands down my favorite part of this card. khamzat has matured a lot his future is gonna be so fun to experience.
Khamzat absolutely dominated can’t believe a judge had it 28-28 smh
What fight were you watching??🤔
I think you stopped watching it after round 1. Round 1 was Khamzat 10-8. Round 2 was Kamaru 10-9. Round 3 could go either way. Not an unreasonable score card at all.
Honestly, I would love to see him fight Adesanya over Strickland
He’d maul Izzy & that would leave no other Africans for ddp…
It would be the same outcome as Kevin Holland
@@Skipjjif khamzat beats Izzy, he steals his African card.
Loved his post fight speech! Very classy and a message that most people can get behind no matter where you stand.
haha the ending was so cute:3 his hand was broken so he didn't want feel more acute pain with a handshake
Khamzat “I have no enemies” Chimaev
Why no sounds?
Damn I’ve never seen this humble side of chimaev. Much respect
Beautiful performance from Chimaev so close to getting a finish
Huge respect for that post fight speech
He is so awkward, but also so genuine. Got to love that guy He is amazing no matter what
mate he just doesn’t speak the language
You are awkward. Khamzat knows 4 or 5 languages. How many do you know?
He isn’t akward English isn’t his language his to tough to be awkward
I feel like he is becoming more mature lately
She be leng one still that's y
I don't understand how people saying it's robbed. First round definitely for Khamzat. Second round usman hit one good shot and Khamzat did takedown end of the round. Third round both guys throw punches but none of these landed so its close but not robbed
Not robbed at all, first one is even possibly a 10-8, second round nothing really happened but Chimaev got the TKD and somehow dominant position on the ground, 3rd round Chimaev was also on top, so yeah I don't see how you can see it as a robbery
@@heroe1486 bro I think you misunderstood. Read it again, I said the fight was close but not robbed. Khamzat won it fair and square
It's psychological. It happens allthe time. A fighter dominates rd1 but they don't dominate rd 2. Even if they clearly win it, people tend to score it for the opponent just because they did better than the previous round.
Def not robbed. I had him 10-8 round 1, 9-10 round 2, and 10-9 round 3. Whoever scored it 28-28 needs to be fired. It was clearly a win for chimaev round 3 with the takedown.
@@heroe1486 Khamzat didn't do anything with round 2 takedown. Just control time doesn't mean anything. Kamaru also pistoned his face with straight punches in round 2. Round 3 is controversial.
Usman vs Whittaker would be a dope matchup frl! Both coming off middleweight losses
“We’ll see if it’s not broken I’ll continue to train, I’m going to train anyways” literally the definition of Khamzat😂
His post fight speech was beautiful. Really amazing to see the humanity come out in him
Хамзат брат поздравляю с победой.Я за тебя болел знал что ты победишь.ДАЙ АЛЛАХ тебя здоровья счастья успехов
That's how I thought the fight would go. Mostly around who can out-wrestle the other. But it looked almost even. great fight 💪 Usman gave him a tough time with grappling and Gilbert did some big work in a fist fight. 💪
Pure beast on the takedown and ground game
Khamzat is next level. Absolutely should get a title shot…I think he deserves it…not one boring fight with him, takes the fight on short notice, doesn’t make excuses
Khamzat the true 🐺
The true snoozeman. That fight was boring and stupid. Khamzat looked like an amateur
@@EddieJarnowskicry 😂
@@mynutsonyourchin2806 how does a guy get declared the winner of a fight he didn't even fight in. Hugged the guy, then almost got knocked out, then goes back to hugging the guy. This is the ultimate fighting championship not a bromance hugging contest.
@@EddieJarnowski he DOMINATED usman a few punches don’t win you a round or sympathy points. Clear 3-0 or 2-1 Khamzat for sympathy I guess give usman round 2 for retirement present 🎁
@@EddieJarnowski nah ceo juiceman snoozeman didn’t have enough notice to cycle on & off of epo before this one😭💉
His attitude has changed and he seems more calm
Everyone saying Usman only had 10days, so did Khamzat! 😂 Usman is still the man tho
Not too many will survive the 1st round against this guy.
haha the ending was so cute:3 his hand was broken so he didn't want feel more acute pain with a handshake
Won against Usman with 1 hand. What a beast.
Facts
Strickland is gonna have a hard time holding onto that MW Belt against Khazmat
quite the opposite, khamzat got a shit gas tank
Yeah I think Strickland will light him up quite easily.
Strickland doesn't have Usman wrestling @@DB-us6ke
To physically dominate Usman of all ppl like that in RD1 does not give me much confidence in Strickland's chances. He isn't a very big or physically strong 185er.
I foresee an easy double-leg takedown for Chimaev
That’s one good thing about khamzat he’s sound like a killer before the fight then after he’s very respectful and calm .
As a Khamzat fan, I was scared he was about to finish Usman within 1. minute 1. round. I don't know why. I wanted the fight to go on to see what they both are made of.
What I though understood is, Khamzat took down Usman more than Usman got taken down his entire career in the UFC, which is increadible. Also, assuming he broke his hand first round, how he pulled that W vs not just any fighter but probably one of the most intelligent and best fighter is absolutely crazy.
On a side note though, it was looking like he was losing his breath in round 3, he was slowing down. Something similar happened vs Burns fight. That's where he should upgrade more, but it doesn't make sense as everyone keep saying he's a cardio beast, nobody comes close he never gets tired etc.
The reporter says to Chimaev, "you showed a lot of maturity and patience, something that we don't always see from you..." hahahaha
Bro the sounds doesn't work for me
@@JSamadsame
what a fight bro, gotta hand it to both gentlemen
The handshake rejection at the end was beautiful.
I didn’t see her offer handshake . Are u imagining it

*Whoever is reading this i pray that, whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you are struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day!*
thank you. wish you all the same.
Honestly i had expected Khamzat to win by a landslide. watching the fight, it made me think it was a draw or Usman winning. Still a win or Khamzat, but i had overestimated him too much.
Ya im a khamzat fan and i wasnt so sure he won.. 1st round khamzat, 2nd round usman, 3rd round, sure khamzat took him down but didnt do anything with it while he also took the harder punches.
You shoudnt have expected a landslide though after the burns fight
Makes sense. Since ur a casual I wouldn’t expect u to know how to score a fight.
First round should have been either 10-8 or 10-7 as Usman did nothing absolutely nothing
@@chadwellington2524
Usman went up a weight class he fights at, a mere 10 days notice, coming from 2 losses. Gilbert had outstriked Khamzat, Khamzat was going to fight Paulo Costa, a striker with good decent takedown defence, i had thought he would have upped his striking for fighting Paulo Costa.
This is why I expected Khamzat to breeze through Usman.
@@fenrir834 Ok ya good points, thats fair
BRO HAS GILBERT BURNS AND KAMARU USMAN ON HIS RESUME.. THATS SOME ACCOMPLISHMENT IN ONLY 3 YEARS
Khamzat humble and respectful in victory, class act 👏👏👏💯
Great audio 🎉
Is the audio weird for anyone else?
haha the ending was so cute:3 his hand was broken so he didn't want feel more acute pain with a handshake
I think we fans connect (within limits) with the people who, despite their apparently superhuman qualities, seem to have similar experiences and feelings to us mortals. It’s about the authenticity of the lived human experience. Volkonovski has that in bucket loads. What I think makes him different is his authenticity, courage and honesty in what he talks about. He seems so human. Contrast that with Jon Jones. A better fighter but about as inauthentic a human being as there is, at least in my opinion 🙏🏾
UFC, can you fix the sound?
Mckenzie makes people very comfortable to open up. Her presence is WOW
😢very humble man
It's honestly an achievement to takedown Usman, but to control him for like four and a half minutes in one round is just something else honestly.
On top of that, his post-fight interview was just beautiful man
Future champ for sure
lol whaT=????
TRIPLE CHAMP
@@danielsulcaaroni5292 Strickland wouldn't have survived the first round, are you aware he's the actual champ ?
What is up with this UFC video not playing audio on youtube? rendering problem?
Finish? 😆 I love this man.
No audio
Funny ending 😁 Big respect though to Khamzat.
Just standard Muslim practice. No touching member of the opposite sex unless family/spouse
I love how f-bombs are just casually dropped in professional after-fight interviews. 😂
As much as I wanted him to just run through usman, I think its better for him to go the 15 minutes with a former champ like Usman, I just hope he stays active now. I want to see him against a top 5 Middleweight before the title shot though
Thats actually fair 💯
Congrats Chimaev ! Well deserved ! 👊👏👏👏
Beautiful People❤
He seems kind of humbled by Kamaru and quite disapointed with himself
He should be
No volume
agree no sound at all but how other ppl can hear it
He will show his real skill in his next fight
🤣🤣🤣😂
Audio problem in the video.
There is such a big channel, and such a big team, yet how do they post videos like this. There is no sound in this video.
I think Khamzat gasses himself from being so excited to start the fight. He has to work on controlling his nerves/emotions to slow his heart rate. When he isn’t able to finish in the first round you see the impact on his gas tank in the next rounds. But yeah, his wrestling/grappling is on another level to be able to do that to Usman in the first round
Khamzat is very dominant in this fight... Congratulation... ❤🇵🇸❤️
Usman aurait gagné en 5 round
Very Humble!
Impressive 1st round, but round 2+3 were quite concerning imho in terms of cardio - I hope it was solely due to a hand injury.

Khamzat “Go Home,Be Happy” Chimaev
If this fight had been a 5 rounder, I'm pretty sure Khamzat would've lost. You can have the strength, skills, and technique, but if you don't have the cardio, you're going to lose. Khamzat was still breathing hard minutes after the fight.
so many fighters breathe heavily immediately after a fight
3 rounds or 5 rounds... that's if he could get to them! I mean all respect to Usman, but if Khamzat hasn't injured his hand in RD1 (doesn't have to be broken) I don't think RD2 and RD3 would've been the same. I think, had he not injured his hand, Khamzat would have probably finished Usman in RD2, or even RD1 depending on when exactly he injured his hand.
If it was a 1 round fight Usman gets destroyed. Get over it you hater. If it was a 5 round fight maybe he fights differently. Give credit when due, when was the last time someone took Usman down 4 times and gave him major problems like the first round. Alhamdulilah khamzat is unbeaten. Talk when he loses, and stay silent till then. Peace.
@@lovefoodandtravel9928 I'm a big fan of Khamzat. I wanted and expected him to win, and I'm happy he won. I was just pointing out what he has to improve on if he wants to become a champ and defend it. If he doesn't improve his cardio, boxing, and kicking, he will not be as dominant as he could be.
@@bernardocisneros4402let's be honest. If khamzat kept him on the ground like he had then usman would've not survived in the 4th or 5th rounds. His gas tank would've been emptied with Khamzats weighing him down.
Alhamdulilah ❤
Great fight very impressive
Today Im totally Accept Khamzat Is My BORZ.
Its Official ✅

Me too, Are you located in the US too?
Hope dana see’s this and realises how important kamaru is to this sport and i’m a brit n massive leon fan but usman deserves a push in middle make it happen boss
What a warrior! Fight on with broken hand and still win!
I think Dricus's win over Whittaker warrants a title shot more than Khamzat's win over Usman.
Dricus vs Strickland
Khamzat vs Jared
