Massive respect to Kamara and Hazmit for managing to pull through this interview.
it was an honor to be in this interview, they actually paid Chael for his time
Its hazmat not hazmit brother
kamarma and haramza
😅
You mean Hosman and Chamaya? I haven’t heard of these guys and one of them is gonna have a title shot after this fight, this is mind blowing
We got a guy who has the best takedowns we’ve ever seen, possibly the goat, smashes people brutally and has never lost a fight and in my opinion never lost a round, interviewing two great Mixed martial artist.
This is my first time ever commenting on Youtube, but this might be one of top favorite comments I’ve seen thus far
Chimaev not in the goat discussion. Many had Burns winning the fight. He just looks good against certain opponents, but didn’t look so with his only elite opponent.
@Studio Origamihe’s talking about Chael
@Studio Origamijoke went way over your head . 😂
Was never an Usman fan but I never missed a fight of his either. A move like this further paves his legacy, you can’t deny it. Well done and good luck to both these guys
Usman is going to get ragdolled
usman is overrated tbh
@Jake How can you call a dude that was lapping his division and beat a dominant champ overrated?
@Jakeyou must’ve done some amazing things in your life to call Usman overrated after all he’s done. 😂
Never understood why Usman has so many haters. He did so much for this sport. One of my all time favorites.
He’s a bit corny I think that’s probably the main reason honestly
This fight will win over a lot of people hating on him, win or lose
Idk either but I am a hardcore mma fan so I barely dislike any fighters. Usman deserves all the respect for what he has done. He had backed up all his talk and become world champ. He is a savage and I think he now wanna be 185 champ since Izzy is out. Corny sometimes but most of these ufc fighter corny don’t mean we shouldn’t respect and appreciate their elite level skills
it stems from his earlier days in the UFC, where he got a reputation for being boring ( lay and pray for decision wins) while being corny ( you know the 30% meme etc etc).
But yea after becoming champ and now even more so after losing the title he has carried himself in a way that you really have no other choice than respect him. Dude took his losses like a man and then jumps on this short notice fight.
Always had huge respect for how Kamaru carries himself as a champion. Seems like a top guy, and embodies everything a champion should have. Good luck or both men this weekend
LETS GO BABY!!!!! KHAMZAT SMESH.. love ur channel alhamdulilah
once a champion is always a champion never forget that
Everyone better not act surprised if Usman wins like he isnt proven and accomplished. Dude can 100% pull this off. Anything can happen in this sport.
If anyone calls the Usman W, “the biggest upset in UFC history” they’re casuals and disrespectful
Yeah, it’s not like Usman is fighting a bigger dude. Both were legit the same division with Usman ranking much higher.
The upset is if Khamzat pulls this off
@SuperVladamere Yeah nobody will say that. Is Khamzat even the favorite?
Usman smoked burns and strickland lol no idea what’s gonna happen
@Sean Matthew Kinghes a big favorite, just google the odds bro.
As a fan of Chimaev, it’s interesting to see how humble he is before Usman, compared to how he was acting against Costa. Looks like both fighters understand how good their opponent is and respect them for it. This fight is going to be amazing!
he had too, burns fight made to focus little bit more and have that cockiness slowed down, maybe pre fight interview hype ofc thats the game
I think it’s the other way around
It’s his hardest fight to date, people forget how good usman was because of the fight with Leon but you have to understand that he was the number one pound fighter in the world at some point . Maybe moving to middleweight is his best option especially when you consider that Izzy won’t be fighting anytime soon and he is even contemplating calling it a day with his career. Because of how big usman and khamzat are to the ufc, I wouldn’t be surprised if the winner fights for the title next
I think is because he feel respect to take a short notice like that he dont feel it will be good to make trash talk even for promote
Khamzat grateful Usman took the fight
This sport is so amazing because these guys put it all on the line. One of the last things anyone would advise Usman to do is take a short notice fight against Chimaev after the tough run he has had. Its a tough spot for Chimaev to be in as well. The winner is well deserved of a title shot. LFG!
What’s crazy is so many people have ducked Khamzat and Usman has pursued him. Even with his losses Usman is still a champion and ran through his division before Leon. Usman is in a totally different conversation if he doesn’t lose to Leon and give him that confidence.
i love the fact that they both show a massive respect with no trash talk
and yes,i liked my own comment
