Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev recently remarked that in terms of technique and skill, Kamaru Usman and Israel Adesanya cannot compete with him. According to Swedish fighter, Usman is done fighting after suffering multiple injuries throughout the course of his career, while Adesanya would come up short.
Chimaev claims that Usman is handicapped and has had surgery all over. He thinks he is too old and too sluggish. The UFC welterweight champion is attempting to make big money while staying out of trouble. He feels Israel on the other hand, whom he will have to face if he moves up to 185 pounds and won’t back down from a battle with him as he is not terrified of Chimaev. But then again it doesn’t make a difference at all since Chimaev feels that the “The Style Bender” is no match to his greatness.
‘The Borz” in an interview with Daniel Cormier, says, “Usman almost handicapped brother. His knees doesn’t work, his back hurts, his arm hurts, operation everywhere. The guy is too old and he’s too slow. They wanna find a way to make money and they wanna go away from my way. And Israel, I think he will fight me. I don’t think that guy is scared, he’s gonna fight. And I will fight the guy as well. But this is not my level, that guy, I think. He gives his back to this guy (Robert Whittaker) who never did wrestling in UFC, never took somebody down.”
“When I knock Burns, I’m gonna go to him Usman”- Khamzat Chimaev hopes to see Kamaru Usman in Gilbert Burns’ corner at UFC 273
Khamzat Chimaev will face Gilbert Burns at UFC 273 this coming weekend. Burns recently revealed that his former teammate, Kamaru Usman has been helping him in preparations for the said bout. Khamzat is praying that Usman would be present for the fight, as a cornerman for Burns. In what he believes is a marvelous idea, Chimaev aims to knock out his opponent before calling out the UFC welterweight champion.
Chimaev hopes to see Usman in Burns’ corner on Saturday night. After scoring a knockout over Burns, the surging prospect plans to call out the UFC welterweight champion, while claiming he could defeat him on the same night. Borz also said, “I hope Kamaru will be there in his (Burns) corner, you know? Like (Usman was) talking, will help him for training camp and some s*it. I hope he will be there, you know. So when I knock him (Burns) out, I’m gonna go to him (Usman), ‘Jump in, you are next.’ So I can beat them both, same night.”
