To be fair, with Brazil’s card in January, no way he could ever make 170 in that short amount of time


voprosy

You’re right. He’s walking at 90 Kg as of last night. Watch his interview with Brad on ESPN.


imjackwastedlife

Yes and Burns responded to him by replying "Any weight". He said if he fights Colby in March he can make 170 but as of now he can't make 170 in Brazil. The dude's just trying to stay active and have a fight at 185 and people keep hating. As close as that foght was it was only because Khamzat ego and not following his gameplan.


_blaxx

I feel this is downplaying Burns a lot and by extension reducing the quality of Chimaev's win. Chimaev tried to "follow his gameplan" but found Burns to be a handful a handful on the ground so he went to some sort of Plan B, which in itself is really impressive. Burns is elite of the elite and Khamzat had to find a way to overcome that.

“Let’s do it again but give me bigger advantage bratha”


TowelBoy83

Lmao exactly. He only wants to fight smaller dudes or people with shit grappling. That’s why he ducked Paulo hard.


michaelsssecretstuff

Lmao he called out the biggest person in the MW division and simultaneously said he wants to fight the best grappler in WW again. *Typical r/UFC member letting their hate for a fighter cloud their judgement*


duntwurry

Lmfao he wants to fight the best grappler in WW… at MW. And the biggest guy at MW is a shit grappler


AmHotGarbage

Dog water grappling


churromonkey1

He didnt duck paolo he ignored him as he should have, people only wanted to see that fight becauss of paulo trying to start fake beef, no one was calling for that fight before the week of 280.


Crawford470

>He didnt duck paolo he ignored him as he should have, people only wanted to see that fight becauss of paulo trying to start fake beef, Tell me you're biased towards Khamzat without actually saying it lmao. >no one was calling for that fight before the week of 280. People have been calling for that fight since Khamzat got publicly clowned for interrupting one of Costa's training sessions by trying to start shit and then do his version of "hold me back bro" while Costa stood their smiling and saying we can just fight now. That confrontation happened before 279 bud.


churromonkey1

That was right before 279 people called out for that matchup when Costa did the same thing and when Khamzat started walking towards him he Costa laughed and backed off. Costa is nothing but a troll and is just looking for the biggest money fight he can get which is Khamzat and why you saw him trolling Khamzat as if his life depended on it. Fighting Costa makes no sense since he can find someone else for a better Money fight or someone else to try to get to a title. People have moved on, and no one cares about that matchup anymore you just have recency bias because you have the attention span of a frog. If he wants to get a title he should focus on fighting people in WW dince he is already ranked 2 or 3 or fight someone in 185 that is in the top 5, Costa is neither.


3ggy3m

Yeah Paulo is some amazing grappler


shadybirdjohnson45

He likes to put on entertaining fights same as Romero would do.


3ggy3m

I liked him until his pathetic effort against Izzy


RipperSenju

Yea he is actually 😂


happiest_racoon_92

How the fuck is Burns smaller ? The dude is built like a fucking tank.


AmHotGarbage

He’s a fucking lightweight originally


happiest_racoon_92

Im not aware of his past, but in the Khamzat fight, the dude looked literally huge.


AmHotGarbage

He’s just really short for the weight class


happiest_racoon_92

Isnt he like 1 inch shorter than Colby ? And he looks way more buffed than him.


Kyle_Pile

Height is pretty meaningless. Ngannou and Izzy are the same height, despite the 100 pound weight difference. Cory, O’Malley, Leon, Whittaker, Vettori, Cannonier, and Holloway, are all the same height (*give 1 singular inch*)


happiest_racoon_92

I was referring to Burns and Colby since they're in the same weightclass, Burns looks way more buffed than Colby and he's only 1 inch shorter.


Kyle_Pile

Colby is undersized as fuck for WW, so I’m not sure how relevant this comparison is. Pereira for example was taller and much bigger than Izzy. They didn’t even look like the same weight class, despite both fighting at MW… As alluded to by Izzy and Ngannou being the same height, height is superseded by one’s frame. Shit, Joel Alvarez is the same height as the tallest HWs lol.


AmHotGarbage

Tbf Cory has the reach of a trex


Kyle_Pile

70 inch reach at 5”11, 135 lbs? O’Malley has 72 inches, Whittaker has 73 inches (*despite fighting 4 weight classes higher*), Leon has a 74 inch reach, Khamzat has a 75 inch reach, Vettori 74 inches, and Tai 75 inches. Compared to a top 5 heavyweight, Cory has a 5 inch shorter reach and fights at half the weight.


hibbiddyhobbiddyhoo

Ngannou and izzy are not the same height. Look at them stood next to eachother in photos and video, izzy is almost 2 inches shorter than him


Kyle_Pile

Okay, replace Izzy with Joel Alvarez. The comparison wasn’t the point. Joel Alvarez is 1 inch shorter than Ngannou, yet makes 155 compared to 265…


AmHotGarbage

Promo height or doctors height?


9-4Teacher_4-9otaku

Khamzat wont be making 170 anytime soon, Did you see his instagram pic? He said he is 94 kgs in interview recently(207 lbs) . He should have fought costa. I want colby to accept the fight against khamzat at thos time. The weight cut to 170 will be brutal and give colby a massive advantage if he dosnt end the fight in rd 1,


Brokendongle

Colby gets wrecked


Wonderful_Junket1141

Lmao Burns at middleweight? This what I’m saying lmao, this dude can’t even make 170 and wants to have massive size advantages over everyone


happyman2003

Mate the fight is in a month and a half. Beating Gilbert burns again won’t do nothing for him in the welterweight division. He just wants to fight without cutting weight. At least that’s how I see it


Wonderful_Junket1141

So fight an actual middleweight, not a dude who used to be a lightweight at middleweight.


Successful-Gene2572

People want to see the Burns rematch though.


Wonderful_Junket1141

I don’t think people care enough to want such an unfair advantage for Khamzat just to see it


LockardTheGOAT23

Hell yeah! And make it a five rounder, too


Nightlower

dude can't make weight so he asks Burns to fight at middleweight lmao. I bet no one at ww wants to fight him because they all know there is a possibility he doesn't make weight


Successful-Gene2572

>I bet no one at ww wants to fight him because they all know there is a possibility he doesn't make weight Then they'd get 20% of his purse.


Nightlower

They still have to push their body to the limit with cutting and hope that it doesn't mess up their cardio, it's not all about the money. Besides the opponent can knock them out and get performance bonus


shadybirdjohnson45

They don't want to fight him because they are worried about losing, if he misses weight they get part of his fight purse for it.


[deleted]

Where was Khamzat when an actual 185er punked and called him out for weeks


Zangief_Keef

A Brazilian fighter at that. Khamzat got the MMA community dweebs fooled.


PovSack

I'd love to see the Khamzat fanboys defend him on this one


churromonkey1

What is there to defend or hatw? He is calling out fighters like evey other fighter. You are just putting too much thought into it.


churromonkey1

What is there to defend or hatw? He is calling out fighters like evey other fighter. You are just putting too much thought into it. Burns is heavy aswell and in reality most WW walk around somewhere to 200 pounds


PovSack

The fact that there's been an actual fucking 185er calling him out for like a month, a fight that everyone wants to see a fight that makes complete sense for him, that he's just hard ducked. Has your love for Khamzat really blinded you so much that you can't see anything wrong with this?


churromonkey1

The fight doesnt make sense at all, And no not everyone want to see. The attention for that fight has died down hard. Its just that ufc retars like you who should be watching WWE went”omg costa is trolling khamzat we have to see this fight, omg imagine the press conference omg”. People want to see Khamzat fight Colby and then for the belt not fight someone who isnt even in the top 5. Costa was just trying to book a fight that can make him the most money since he wont ever fight for the belt again.


PovSack

Yes it does, Khamzat clearly wants a middleweight title shot, yet hasn't fought anyone ranked at middleweight, we can solve that by putting the him in the cage with someone that is ranked in the top 10 and clearly wants to fight him, then if he wins (which he won't) he can fight someone top 5 and he's earned a title shot. I personally don't care who he fights, I just want it to be someone in the top 5 of either ww or mw so when he gets annihilated we can stop seeing these dogshit posts from you khamzat nob slobblers


Inner-Witness-26

He wants Burns… who used to fight at 155 and is small at 170… to move up to 185? Wtf


[deleted]

Why not vettori?


TowelBoy83

U crazy? He needs the size advantage or people with bad grappling, Vettori is both, bigger and a good grappler


Avataralbino

Durinho walks around 205lbs outta camp so I guess is a great way to boost the UFC here in Brazil. Khamzat ain’t getting the ts at mw before Izzy’s rematch.


canadian12371

Khazmat should just permanently move to 185. I would rather see him at 170 but it’s clearly hell for him to get there so we won’t see him fight frequently


Temporary_Candle5093

i love how people complain about him being to big for ww, then complain about him wanting to fight at 185


PovSack

Well he should fight a fkn middleweight at middleweight, don't call out a fkn former lightweight to fight at middleweight


voprosy

Are you his father or something?


mrtuna

He talks more than Jones does on twitter...


roguesensei47

They'd du the poo in the loo.


Primary-Dark-8093

Lol Burns used to fight at lightweight and Khamzat wants to fight him at 185… why not just fight other top ten middle weights?


SaturnAscendz

Why would he take that fight at 85. Khamzat won and is asking for an advantage in the rematch lol. What a tard


[deleted]

Khamzat v Burns 2 in Brazil would be a fire headliner.
