NYRaider Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 3 minutes ago, big poppa pump said: I completely agree with this! He also will eventually have to beat the pound for pound best fighter in the world to claim a championship in the near future (Usman). That will not be some easy task. I'm excited to see Chimaev fight some top level competition. He has absolutely ran through everyone he has fought so far, wish Leon would've taken the fight. Stylistically though he's going to be a tough fight for anyone although I do wonder how well his striking will hold up if he fights someone with good take down defense that can keep the fight standing.

Couture vs Fedor GSP vs Silva Lesnar vs Fedor Has to be GSP-Silva then Couture-Fedor. Lesnar-Fedor would've been a thrashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaev has to do it against top guys before I'm ready to buy into the hype. I feel like both have fought similar levels of competition. I know Hooker is better than anyone Chimaev has fought but neither has a resume that separates themselves much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaev is 10-0 overall and 4-0 in the UFC with one win against a ranked opponent. Islam has more wins in the UFC then Chimaev has total MMA bouts.

NYRaider Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 The only 3 fights that I can see Conor taking are the Masvidal fight, Nate trilogy, or possibly Khabib rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
