The only thing Dillashaw has on Yan is wrestling and Dillashaw is more elusive I think. Speed, Hand speed, endurance, boxing all advantages I'd give to Yan. Sterling fought smart last night and won a close fight. I bet big on Yan in the rematch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Chimaev would rank after Covington. Even after last night I find it hard to rank Durinho behind Leon Edwards. Chimaev jumps Durinho obviously Usman, Covington, Chimaev, Durinho, Edwards would be my top 5 Edited April 11, 2022 by BillsGuy82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Luque wins his next fight I'd love to see Chimaev fight him next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big poppa pump Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 While Chimaev looked mortal, he needed a fight just like that! It does not mean he can't or won't win against Covington or Usman. His mystique of just walking through opponents may have changed, but his talent was on full display. I thought he would use more of his wrestling, but he chose to stand and bang. And everyone that is referring to Covington's pace, and endurance needs to realize that Chimaev can probably hang. Besides training like a beast, he didn't seem to fade in a 3 round war, and would have a different pace in a 5 round fight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Chimaev breaks Colby's jaw again. Colby's not getting the takedown on Chimaev and, even if he manages to, he's not keeping him down. Chimaev is the strongest WW on the planet. He brushed off Burns with little effort and ate bombs that Colby couldn't even dream of throwing. Burns was the toughest matchup for Chimaev, outside of Usman, at WW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't want to be on the mat against a world champion grappler like Burns so he kept the fight standing. Even though he didn't just run through Burns his size/strength advantage was extremely noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, yeah, but burns is better than all the other contenders imo. Besides maybe Colby. Any one of those 3 would steamroll boring Belal. After the Edwards fight, if Usman wins, nobody else seems like a good fight besides Chimaev to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns was also killing himself to make 155. Robert Whittaker wasn't looking too great at 170 before he moved to 185 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
