Yeah definitely, that's what makes it so exciting Burns is by far his hardest opponent, and I think his obvious similarities to khabib do a lot of heavy lifting hype wise. So win or lose, it'll be huge either way. I loved khabib and since he retired khamzat is like the next best thing, so far anyway. I'd love to see him vs olievera if they could somehow get the weight divisions matched up, cause they both fight like spider monkeys.

Same, there will never be another Khabib but Khamzat’s the next best thing. Islam Machichev is also worth mentioning, esp since he’s related to Khabib and Khabib is his coach. But Islam will never be as exciting a fighter as the Chechen Khamzat partly because of Islam’s reserved milktoast personality

Khamzat is a little bit legit crazy. Apparently after he was inspired to become a MMA fighter after seeing Conor Mcgreggor, he took a plane to the state where Conor’s gym is, and was pulled over for speeding and then I think detained, maybe deported I forget. But when the cops asked where he was going, he said he was going to show up at Conor’s gym to fight Conor, and this was before he ever fought in MMA. He had a duffel bag with sparring gear and a large knife. Khamzat seems like the kinda guy who could legit snap

This story I heard on Chael Sonnen’s channel back in the day

Haha I love Chael, he's hilarious and really smart.. Although he was saying that fight was going to be "bjj vs wrestling" and there almost none of it haha. Anyway hype train I'd say was at least partially derailed. Awesome fight!

Yeah quite a banger. I saw an internet comment that said Burns proved Chimaev is human, that comment felt apt

2 things that impressed me about Chimaev: 1. For a guy that started as a pure wrestler, his striking has come a long way very quickly and 2. Guy has a chin, took shots that have dropped many lesser guys. I guess that comes with being from Chechnya

I think Khamzat will beat Colby (as much as I like Colby), but will lose to Usman. He needs to still get a LOT better to have a chance vs Usman. But now at least Usman is going to be interested. He seemed like was getting burned out beating the same few top level fighters multiple times in a row

Totally, he literally said he saw a human being in Chimaev not a monster and he proved that easily. Was glad to see dana still gave Burns his win money cause it was so close. Khamzat easily could have lost that fight with just a couple tweaks. In fact I think he hurt his hype image more by winning in that manner than Burns hurt his by losing. Still though Chimaev vs Usman would be so epic but I agree if that happened right now Usman would probably destroy him...

Finally tested negative for Covid. Went to to town to celebrate with a macdonalds, visited the warhammer store, catching my breath at the farm park now.

Thanks, they were very good! I also tried the vegan burger, I dunno if it is the same around your ends, but around here it was bloody marvellous! Meatier than meat!

Regarding the chips, we call the macdonalds ones fries because they are skinny. Generally chips are about twice to treble the width of frenchreedom fries.
