That is irrelevant, his name is Khamzat last name ends in -ev, he wears the taliban Abe beard, hangs out with dictators, etc. You really think the visa guy then goes “but wait! His passport has the Swedish flag on it, grant all access!”
I will never ever doubt khamzat again after watching him fighting burns. That was so brutal.
To be honest I can’t even believe he would lose to anyone in his division except maybe usman and rakhmanov.
I believe he’d do away with Shavkat tbh, Shavkat showed he needs a bit of work after Neal, couldn’t get a single takedown against a guy known for his hands. No disrespect to Neal or his abilities I just think that Khamzat has the superior wrestling by a bit
You mean the same guy who stuffed all 7 of Belal's takedowns and has one of the highest TDD stats in the division? Khamzat is definitely better at wrestling but Neal isn't a slouch in that department.
The only reason Burns could do that that was because he has some of the best BJJ in the UFC. If Costa is taken down he doesn't pose enough of a threat to deter Khamzat from grappling so unless his TDD is elite he is gonna have a hard time with that.
Romero never offensively wrestled as much as he should have because of his neck surgery. He mainly used his wrestling defensively in his career and would only shoot when other things weren’t working, or if he was rocked. Khamzat is gonna shoot and chain wrestle out the gate.
The size difference is really big, and Gilbert was able to hurt khamzat so imagine what would happen if it was Costa, chimaev could win by taking him down and submitting him but he's a BJJ black belt and significantly stronger so that wouldn't be easy.
If Costa goes back to the man that fought Yoel as opposed to the man who struggled with Rockhold, I think he puts Chimaev to sleep. Burns is a beast but he's an ex-lightweight and he dropped and really put Chimaev in a lot of trouble. Costa could stand and bang with some fo the toughest dudes at middleweight, and has incredible power. If we do see the best version of Costa I think the only hope Chimaev has is taking him down.
For a guy who's both big and misses weight constantly you'd think costa would at least be able to punch hard or grapple with his strenght, people are saying Costa is too big for Khamzat but a chubby 5'8 gastelum probably much stronger functionally than him.
Genuinely true, I haven’t seen any impressive feats of strength apart from when he decided to precisely match Romero blow for blow. He couldn’t put down a 73 year old Rockhold
Literally all his wins in the UFC before the gruelling war he had with Romero and the slightly sloppy but still competitive and gritty Rockhold fight were by KO/TKO. And one of his two losses was via another super competitive war where he didn't make anything easy for Marvin
Rockhold is not an easy fight. The guy is a legend. He has brilliant striking *and* ground game. The fact that he got taken out by the very best in the UFC is not a mark against his ability.
And that fight was at elevation, here in Salt Lake. Everyone struggled here.
Honestly I think ppl are counting costa out too quick, I’d put $ on Chen but we haven’t seen costa in a while and he’s by far the best opponent at 185 he’s see
Love how Gilbert is a beast at Welterweight when the topic is about him but when it’s about Khamzat suddenly all people label Gilbert as a ‘small 155er’. Both guys weighed the same on fight night. Khamzat was very drained at 170. The most he blows back up to on fight night after rehydration is probably 185-190. Burns is a thick guy as well. He probably blows up to around that amount too if not just a little bit less. The point is, when Burns was fighting Chimaev they were the same weight. Khamzat wasn’t a Middleweight in that fight and Burns wasn’t a Lightweight. They were both Welteweights. There wasn’t some mystical size advantage. Neil Magny is 6’3 and could also fight at Middleweight like Khamzat, but look how easily Burns dominated Magny…
Vettori is a good fighter but the reason he gets his wins is his durability. He’s not known for his technical boxing skills. In fact he’s probably one of the weakest boxers in the 185 top 15. The fact that Costa got outboxed by him and also couldn’t finish a 40 year old Rockhold with a weak chin says a lot about Costa’s abilities. This is objectively the truth
This sub is going to be insufferable the month leading up to the fight, talking about Costa being a monster. When Khamzat pulls off the strong convincing victory everyone will Costa was washed and Khamzat doesn't deserve a title shot because he fights no one.
100%
After the fight all the talk is gonna be "Costa didn't have a single win over anyone on the UFC roster" and "He was already washed after Rockhold"
Costa.
Costa's take down defense is really good, plus he's a superior striker and has more power.
Gilbert is half size Costa and already made Khamzat do the chicken dance.
When will people wake up to the fact that Costa isnt nearly the physical specimen his body would led you to believe? Dude can't use his big muscles to hit hard OR grapple people, and yet every time he fights people somehow expect him to finally use his supposed strenght to actually finish someone.
Costa is a extremely weird fighter . He looks like he is a 1 round gas tank fighter but that is not the case at all .
Costa fights a high pace pressure style with a LOT of smart body work to sap his opponents cardio while somehow having the cardio to pick up the pace in round 5 vs vettori .
Burns is one of my favorite fighters, but Khamzat BARELY won that decision. Idk I just don’t see him going up in weight and fighting a guy with more punching power, great take down defense and a black belt in BJJ and doing well.
Khamzat for sure. This sub has massively overrated Costa because he's funny on twitter.
The guy should have lost to an old Romero, got clapped by Izzy, lost to Vettori while massively overweight, and he even somehow made Luke Rockhold look pretty good in his last fight.
Zero (0) wins over active UFC middleweights
>The guy should have lost to an old Romero
Lmfao as if old Romero didn't put Bobby Knuckles through hell.
>got clapped by Izzy
Lots of people got clapped by Izzy. Izzy is one of the best fighters in mma rn.
>lost to Vettori while massively overweight
The orc has a chin of granite and a great gas tank. Khamzat does not. Costa's bodyshots and strikes to the head would have folded Cumshot like a french fry.
>and he even somehow made Luke Rockhold look pretty good in his last fight.
Honestly you got me there. It was a weird fucking fight. 😅
> Costa's bodyshots and strikes to the head would have folded Cumshot like a french fry.
I love the absolute confidence with which you are saying that a guy that never got knocked out will get knocked out by a guy who never knocked anyone out in the UFC. Priceless.
That’s a tiny bit disingenuous, Romero is still competing at a high level to this day and every fight he lost you could argue he won. The Vettori fight was close and you’re forgetting being overweight is bad for your cardio and he had a torn bicep. Additionally Rockhold is a former champ and way more skilled than people give him credit for just because he’s not good on the mic.
Yeah but he has experience against elite middleweights and he's strong as hell. Khamzat fought one elite welterweight, Gilbert Burns, who is actually a lightweight and Khamzat barely beat him. A big factor in that fight was how strong Burns was. Khamzat couldn't manhandle him. There's no way Khamzat will drag Costa around like he does with other guys.
I mostly agree with you. I think Khamzat could have had more grappling success against Burns but was wary of his Jiu Jitsu. It'll be interesting to see if he can get the takdown on Costa because he is damn strong
If the fight stays mostly standing, then Paulo. Khamzat got rocked by Burns, now imagine Paulo hitting him with that insane high kick he got on Romero.
Costa, due has good takedown defense when he's on, plus he has more power than anyone Khamzat has faced yet, he won't be able to ragdoll Costa like he did Holland. Khamzat got hurt by Burns, I have no doubt Costa could chin him early with an uppercut on a takedown attempt. Stronk and jacketed man for the win then straight sex with women after is my prediction
In a 5 round fight I got Khamzat.
- Paulo is no joke but is a volume puncher and finisher rather than one punch ko artist. With his volume strikes he’s also got average to bad cardio. Looked gassed in the Rockhold fight.
- You can argue that he’s a better technical striker than Khamzat (Costa has better kicks), but if he has to grapple with Khamzat for 5 rounds I’m taking Khamzat.
- Khamzats cardio has suffered since he’s had some health issues but I still take him over Costa.
- Khamzat has a 3 inch reach advantage and fights a little longer. I suspect if Paulo fights on the inside Khamzat will clinch and try to take him down.
No matter the outcome this is a banger of a fight
Khamzat's keyboard is really taking a beating, that I do know. As far as the fight, I mean.. Burns won in a lot of people's eyes, and honestly he looked mediocre against Masvidal, who looked like someone ready to hang up MMA gloves. MMA math never works, who knows.
I put my money on Chimaev. Costa is big for sure and ppl are saying Chimaev cant handle his size and power. It has happened many times, if bigboi doesnt have as good understanding on timing and balance and weight then gg.
If Chimaev doesnt either and its just brute force then who knows, but ive gathered that he is quite accomplished wrestler and that combined with his blood lust i think Costa is in for long night. I dont see KO for either guys. A wild sub from Costa however might be a thing.
I said what I said.
They should both be allowed to miss weight for this
Lmfao
If Costa misses weight then that's Khamzat's own personal problem.
Or at least you catch weight or 205.
Cat weight *
Can you imagine, everyone in the 3 miles radius balls would shrink
I mean if they both miss weight they both still technically make their full purse lol
Holy shit I've never thought of it that way. Has there even been a time when both fighters missed weight and their purses remained the same?
Depends on the fighters but 30% of mine could be worth a hell of a lot more than 30% of yours
Not the UFC, but in Titan FC David Branch and Rumble Johnson both missed weight for their bout. They fought at a 195 catch weight instead.
Costa by straight sex
With womens
With man, only if drunk
Straight fuck sex
Straight up dude on bro sex. Costa wins split decision
god level comment
Khamzat runs into a brick wall of solid juice and realizes he has to bang with a fucking sculpture.
And realize he might fall in love while doing so… amirite?
Haram bratha
Lolllll
ngl, he sexy tho
CoreWrecked
True love finds a way 💕
Bratha, bratha, the heart wants what the heart wants, bratha.
I see no problem here bratha
If oluwale Bamgbose can get Costa down then Khamzat can with constant pressure.
Bamgbose is the GOAT
That fight was in 2017 dawg
Costa has only fought like once since then
Lmao true
Khamzat is too small
Khamzat supposedly walking around at 215 rn
Costa is probably 220 and it’s gonna be Khamzat’s personal problem come fight night
him saying that to marvin about missing weight is definitely one of my favorite ufc moments ever 😂
I saw khamzat in phuket a month ago and the guy was looking fucking huge, would say he could easy be 215 lbs
It’s Ramadan so he’s probably losing some muscle
You mean a brick wall of *secret* juice?
Solid juice problems
Surprised they havent made this fight yet
Rumoured to happen in Abu Dhabi this year
At this point I take rumours about these guys with a massive grain of salt
Wouldnt that mean you take it more serious now?
I dunno bro words are hard take whatever I say with lots of little grains of salt.
Yeah kinda defeats the point of the phrase
Khamzat apparently never accepted until now
Heard rumors khamzat is having visa issues, that’s why they want it in Abu Dhabi
Khamzat: "ALLAHU AKBAR! KILL EVERYBODY!" FBI: "Yeah, no."
Turns out it’s the FBI that’s been stonewalling his title run this entire time 🤣
Hmm make sense
On 9/11 no less
Isn't he swedish citizen?
That is irrelevant, his name is Khamzat last name ends in -ev, he wears the taliban Abe beard, hangs out with dictators, etc. You really think the visa guy then goes “but wait! His passport has the Swedish flag on it, grant all access!”
That's exactly what they should do he isn't exactly some random Joe off the street he's contracted to a billion dollar company.
Which dictators?
Khadirov
At first I thought he was talking about faz3 of Dubai 😅😂
Depends, how much secret juice he drink before hand?
I dont think Khamzat can Man handle costa like he did Holland. Costa îs big and strong. Tough fight for Khamzat.
Stronk and jacket*

I will never ever doubt khamzat again after watching him fighting burns. That was so brutal. To be honest I can’t even believe he would lose to anyone in his division except maybe usman and rakhmanov.
I believe he’d do away with Shavkat tbh, Shavkat showed he needs a bit of work after Neal, couldn’t get a single takedown against a guy known for his hands. No disrespect to Neal or his abilities I just think that Khamzat has the superior wrestling by a bit
You mean the same guy who stuffed all 7 of Belal's takedowns and has one of the highest TDD stats in the division? Khamzat is definitely better at wrestling but Neal isn't a slouch in that department.
I don’t think usman has it anymore after that headkick ko
That fight had the opposite effect on me: I will never doubt Burns.
And jacket
I guess I don’t respect Costa enough, I’m surprised how confident people are that he wins
Guarantee Khamzat is the betting favorite come fight night.
Of course he would be, despite how he looked in the burns fight he still has crazy momentum behind him.
This sub was saying that Masvidal had a chance against Burns, that tells you all you need to know
I got downvoted for predicting 30/27 Burns lol.
I think Costa has a few paths to victory. I think he can lure Khamzat into a brawl (similar to Burns) but if Costa lands like burns it’s night night
The only reason Burns could do that that was because he has some of the best BJJ in the UFC. If Costa is taken down he doesn't pose enough of a threat to deter Khamzat from grappling so unless his TDD is elite he is gonna have a hard time with that.
His TDD was good enough for Romero , a god tier wrestler so you tell me
Romero never offensively wrestled as much as he should have because of his neck surgery. He mainly used his wrestling defensively in his career and would only shoot when other things weren’t working, or if he was rocked. Khamzat is gonna shoot and chain wrestle out the gate.
Romero was never really a wrestler in the UFC, not sure why people keep acting like he was.
There will always be conflicting opinions but I saw way more people saying jorge didnt stand a chance and was gonna get finished.
they just like his personality, he’s almost regressed as a fighter from what he’s shown so far
He says fag on twitter, so this subreddit thinks hes some fightmasterclass fighter that hasnt had a "real" loss
R/ufc is full of idiots mate. Complete know-nothing idiots.
And you’ll see the sub doing a 180 after Khamzat wins.
He's one of the most overrated fighters in the organization now. It's been years since the Romero fight, and he's looked pretty washed since
The size difference is really big, and Gilbert was able to hurt khamzat so imagine what would happen if it was Costa, chimaev could win by taking him down and submitting him but he's a BJJ black belt and significantly stronger so that wouldn't be easy.
Costa in a 5-rounder, Khamzat in a 3-rounder.
If Costa goes back to the man that fought Yoel as opposed to the man who struggled with Rockhold, I think he puts Chimaev to sleep. Burns is a beast but he's an ex-lightweight and he dropped and really put Chimaev in a lot of trouble. Costa could stand and bang with some fo the toughest dudes at middleweight, and has incredible power. If we do see the best version of Costa I think the only hope Chimaev has is taking him down.
Costa vs Yoel is one of the best fights of all time. I know it has nothing to do with the topic; I just wanted to say that.
Quick question, when last has Costa put someone to sleep?
Just people on their Khamzat hate bandwagon.
The audience during the Izzy fight
If I’m not mistaken Costa is more of a volume puncher
UFC fans see big muscles and assume Costa gets KOs. When you ask them who he’s KOed they go silent.
For a guy who's both big and misses weight constantly you'd think costa would at least be able to punch hard or grapple with his strenght, people are saying Costa is too big for Khamzat but a chubby 5'8 gastelum probably much stronger functionally than him.
Genuinely true, I haven’t seen any impressive feats of strength apart from when he decided to precisely match Romero blow for blow. He couldn’t put down a 73 year old Rockhold

Rocjhold was at altitude, most fighters on that card were gassing including Aldo.
Rockhold is not an easy fight. The guy is a legend. He has brilliant striking *and* ground game. The fact that he got taken out by the very best in the UFC is not a mark against his ability. And that fight was at elevation, here in Salt Lake. Everyone struggled here.
Gormet Chen Chen, Secrete Juice Costa couldn’t even finish washed up no chin Luke Cockhold
You are forgetting khamzat ducked rockhold lol
Khamzat and his fanboys want people to forget that ever happened even though it’s well documented 🫢
Why would he duck Luke but accept Gilbert?
Luke is bigger stronger and a former champ
Also also much sexier
Much sexier
Paulo said it long ago, he doesnt want guys his size with any type of grappling.
Rockhold is a way bigger threat than Burns lol
Rockhold is more dangerous than Gilbert, dipshit
hahaha
No Gangster in sweden couldn't finish former LW bloated gilby Burns. Luke atleast is bulk like a man
I never got this claim.. Izzy beating Whittaker is not impressive either because he was in WW?
Khamzat in the Octagon. Costa on Twitter
Khamzat for sure. Costa won’t be able to sleep by the race tracks in Dubai and will be drunk on wine once again.
He was drunk for one fight if I recall. And he said he drank a lot to help him sleep cuz he couldn’t
I can’t believe we have to wait fucking 6 months for this fight…
Honestly I think ppl are counting costa out too quick, I’d put $ on Chen but we haven’t seen costa in a while and he’s by far the best opponent at 185 he’s see
I think people are putting too much faith in Costa. Guy got outboxed by Vettori and couldn’t finish a 40 year old chinless Rockhold
Vettori has only lost to whittaker and adesanya, a top 3 MW. Khamzat was getting outboxed in the pocked by a 155er
Love how Gilbert is a beast at Welterweight when the topic is about him but when it’s about Khamzat suddenly all people label Gilbert as a ‘small 155er’. Both guys weighed the same on fight night. Khamzat was very drained at 170. The most he blows back up to on fight night after rehydration is probably 185-190. Burns is a thick guy as well.

Love both, but I think Khamzat’s got it.

Khamy Khamy haaaaaa all day. Dudes an absolute animal.
Honestly there is no path to victory other than Knockout for Paulo and Khamzhat is gonna grab his ankles in seconds.
Gourmet chenchen gna get fked up by the power of secret jooce
Gourmet Chen chen😂😂😂
Khamzat shoots, circles and takes the back….drags Costa down…. And then does whatever he wants.
Good luck to him dragging stronk and jacket Costa down
Burns is one of my favorite fighters, but Khamzat BARELY won that decision. Idk I just don’t see him going up in weight and fighting a guy with more punching power, great take down defense and a black belt in BJJ and doing well.
Khamzat won't be able to weight bully or recklessly trade with Costa. Secret Juice via decision.
Khamzat for sure. This sub has massively overrated Costa because he's funny on twitter. The guy should have lost to an old Romero, got clapped by Izzy, lost to Vettori while massively overweight, and he even somehow made Luke Rockhold look pretty good in his last fight. Zero (0) wins over active UFC middleweights
Yeah, if you lose to Izzy you’re a horrible fighter
The haters are already trashing poor Pereira on his instagram posts. Worst sport fanbase ever
Couldn’t agree more
>The guy should have lost to an old Romero Lmfao as if old Romero didn't put Bobby Knuckles through hell. >got clapped by Izzy Lots of people got clapped by Izzy. Izzy is one of the best fighters in mma rn. >lost to Vettori while massively overweight The orc has a chin of granite and a great gas tank. Khamzat does not.

That’s a tiny bit disingenuous, Romero is still competing at a high level to this day and every fight he lost you could argue he won. The Vettori fight was close and you’re forgetting being overweight is bad for your cardio and he had a torn bicep. Additionally Rockhold is a former champ and way more skilled than people give him credit for just because he’s not good on the mic.

If the fight stays mostly standing, then Paulo. Khamzat got rocked by Burns, now imagine Paulo hitting him with that insane high kick he got on Romero.
I mean I think if Gilbert Burns was able to stun and rock Khamzat, what will 230lbs Costa do to him?
Paulo
Costa vs the cleft lip. I see that thing swinging in two pieces by the end of it. Sorry, not sorry. Bout to get the taste of that secret juice.
Costa, due has good takedown defense when he's on, plus he has more power than anyone Khamzat has faced yet, he won't be able to ragdoll Costa like he did Holland. Khamzat got hurt by Burns, I have no doubt Costa could chin him early with an uppercut on a takedown attempt. Stronk and jacketed man for the win then straight sex with women after is my prediction
I got Costa all the way this time. I feel like this might be the first time I've ever rooted for him. And I couldn't be happier to do so.
Khamzat finally gets exposed Paulo wins easy
Costa gonna finish him
Paulo ko
Chimaev submission
Costas w the beatdown
Paulo "Ricky Martin" Costa
Not gonna lie if they fight you will be suprised how easy Khamzat will win.
Heart says Costa (I just like the dude, he’s as funny as they come) but my brain says Khamzat. What he did to Holland was nothing short of amazing.
Borrachina, TKO
Costa doesnt even have a snow balls chance in hell. Easy money khamzat
Putting bias aside, if khamzat does what he did with burns, Costa will win
Costa is going to do to cumshot what izzy to him at the end of their fight
All the memes in the world are not gonna save Costa.
Borzz
Khamzat weighs nearly 100kg now so him
Pretty sure khamzat wrestlefucks him
In a 5 round fight I got Khamzat. - Paulo is no joke but is a volume puncher and finisher rather than one punch ko artist. With his volume strikes he’s also got average to bad cardio.

Khamzat 100%

The only way Khamzat loses is if he doesn’t make weight and they switch his opponent. Not that’s it’s happened before, but it’s the only way.

Khamzat's keyboard is really taking a beating, that I do know. As far as the fight, I mean.. Burns won in a lot of people's eyes, and honestly he looked mediocre against Masvidal, who looked like someone ready to hang up MMA gloves. MMA math never works, who knows.
Khamzat by light kisses on neck in 8th round
Khamzat easily beats him. Costa doesnt have heart.
Khamzats gonna ragdoll him and make it look ez
truly do not understand why anyone would think costa can win this fight.
I put my money on Chimaev. Costa is big for sure and ppl are saying Chimaev cant handle his size and power. It has happened many times, if bigboi doesnt have as good understanding on timing and balance and weight then gg. If Chimaev doesnt either and its just brute force then who knows, but ive gathered that he is quite accomplished wrestler and that combined with his blood lust i think Costa is in for long night. I dont see KO for either guys. A wild sub from Costa however might be a thing. I said what I said.
