At the end of the day its a fight, and this is especially true in MMA; anything can happen. So, fighters losing the odd fight isn't exactly unexpected, in fact its expected for the majority of fighters. You could count on one hand the amount of fighters that are undefeated, while taking on the top guys. Khabib obviously being the most recent, but he's very much an anomaly in the sport.

Even Conor who at one point looked unstoppable, you could say that's due to the way he fights, and Khabibs style protects him a lot more than a pure striker like Conor, and while that might be partially true, if you take a look at the other wrestlers in the sport they aren't going on massive unbeaten streaks.

Obviously, the fact that even though there are certain key factors knowing who's going to be dominant in the octagon, we can not 100% accurately predict what will be the outcome of the fight, and Khabib Nurmagomenodov being an anomaly in the game was not really what I think, if you look at all the style in the combat sports grappling is pretty dominant if the fighter knows what he is doing, saying this pretty much the style of Dagestan Wrestling may Dominate some fighters and may outbalance other style, but it will always depends on the fighters strength if he will succeed, and I am not saying that Dagestan wrestling is pretty superior in all wrestling, this is just what I think, even though Dagestan fighters have the same exact style it will always depends on the fighter.

Therefore, I don't actually believe in the hype being derailed from a single loss. If Makhachev were to fight either Oliveria or Poirier which I personally do believe its a little too soon right now, if he was to lose that doesn't automatically mean the hype behind him should be gone. Poirer, and Oliveria are literally the two main men in the division right now.

I think I am just giving example on UFC fighters hype being derailed but definitely their career still goes on, because he question if there are fighters hype being derailed not in the MMA, but other industries, I think there are people liked that and under certain circumstances that their popularity has ended.

I find as fans we can have a knee jerk reaction whenever a fighter loses a fight. In fact, this probably isn't entirely the fans fault, due to the UFC as an organisation pushing the agenda that every fight will finish a fighter if they lose, and project the winner onto bigger, and better things. Boxing also has this mentality because hype sells tickets.

In my opinion, Certainly hype is needed to make sales, and some fighters is just creating drama for people, of fans to talked about and in certain times not only fans is getting hooked with it but certain curious people even the does know about a thing about MMA or fighting being lead to the hype, I think this is a normal setting for some, I am not saying all drama is not real but I think they seen this kind of thing very popular, if you want the tickets to be sold they need to accumulated a drama just like in the WWE.

Though it was proven recently that older fighters that were deemed finished many years ago, can improve, and go on to win belts. Makhachev losing against the current top 2 in the sport isn't going to realistically derail his career. Though, for his benefit its probably best to not jump in the cage with them too soon, because in the eyes of the fans it would take away a lot of the hype, however when he starts winning again that would return right away.

Well I don't really want Makachev to be jumping inside the ring and a lion is inside to be eaten alive, but if the UFC would give a legit fight for him, why not, and I am not saying that he could win everytime he fight, because we can certainly not able to predict the outcome, but as a fan and as a person that seen a potential to counter certain style and certainly I am not comparing him to Khabib, because even though they have identical fighting style, it is still not the same, both men are not the same there are certain strength levels that we can say both men are lacking, but I am not just looking at Makachev alone, but with a certain opponent he might face, as a bettor I will surely need to look deep down not only to Makachev but for certain opponent he might face.

I am really looking forward to that day happening, even though many are seeing Khamzat Chimaev is just pure hype, for me, I have seen potential with his technical striking, and wrestling he is an all-rounder and has the strength to push his takedowns, and just like Cyril Gane that everyone is saying is just a pure hype I think he can move his way up until he reach that title match he deserves.
~

It's true that media loves to write about him, they want to write clickbaity articles, and his name is clickbait already. But, idk, are there examples of someone hyped that much while being unworthy? I don't mean artists, singers and stuff, I mean MMA fighters.

There are Fighters that their hype got derailed when they certainly just lost one bout, like Johnny Walker was hype back then but Corey Anderson stop his train, Ben Askren was a hype when entering UFC, from One Championship he was undefeated and debuting from UFC his bulldog choke against Robbie Lawler pretty questionable because he was pretty devastated by Lawler until he can get that Bulldog choke, but the hype stop when he was Koéd by a flying knee in just 0:05 Seconds by Jorge Masvidal, I think there are many hype in the UFC and the MMA back then but for me Khamzat Chimaev's hype is really legit, and I can see the guy really has potential and he is not afraid in showing it.

Suns win streak is still alive, they beat the Warriors.

The score was 104-96 and Curry really struggle in this game who finished only with 12 points from 4/20 shooting.
Great defense done by the Suns to Curry, and even Wiggins only made 10 points this game.

Stephen Curry is really struggling to keep his pace, and I have seen how many times he is just sitting than playing because he is not effective inside the court, but it was really a close fight at first but when the 3rd quarter starts it was a war, I really think if Stephen Curry could be effective inside then this could be a win for the Golden State, but all that bad plays he is making, have severe the team but Jordan Poole did an incredible performance, now the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors each have 18 Wins and 3 Losses. and right now readying for the games ahead of time, I will not make a bet for the games tomorrow, would surely want to rest for now and enjoy my last profit from the previous games.

But that was fun, Warriors are still a good team although Curry did struggle in that game. Next time they will meet (if if will happen again) I will surely bet on the Warriors especially if they are playing at home.

With the win of the Suns, they are now the number 1 team in the West.
https://www.espn.com/nba/standings

I agree, and If they could meet in the finals that will be an interesting match-up to see if Golden State would keep their pace like this, and the Phoenix Suns isn't really exactly an unbeatable bunch, these two teams could definitely meet up for the finals, and at that game, it is Phoenix Suns home turf and the Golden State Warriors is closing the match and getting a hang until most of the 3rd quarter, but what if Stephen Curry is playing in his full 100% then I think this could be an easy feat for the Golden State,

I surely look bias over the Golden State Warriors but this is my opinion, there might be something in Curry's that is why he is not in his self today, but the form of the Phoenix Suns was really great as well, and I am looking at these two teams for my betting preference.

Jahn Regensburg VS Dynamo - WIN

Dusseldorf VS Heidenheim - LOST

Erzgebirge VS Darmstadt - WIN

Karlsruher VS Hannover 96 - WIN

Schalke VS SV Sandhausen - WIN

Pretty much I have racked 4 wins I surely think that Dusseldorf could win it, but it was really a close match, and still, Dusseldorf stay on the close stats as of Heidenheim, now Dusseldorf had fallen to the number 13 and Heidenheim rise to number 8 of the Standings, next matches will be on December 4.

@YuginKadoya those are some nice wins and it seems that you’re very well versed with these league games, and hence I’ll be keeping an eye on what your predictions are for the next games. Also Düsseldorf did try their best to win and it would have been 5 on 5 correct predictions for you, but it was not their lucky day however I’m sure that they’ll improve in their next game.

I really think I was just lucky this time, and regarding if you would see my NBA predictions, I really think it was pretty lucky,

1st game was 6 picks out of 7 picks won the bets,

2nd game was 5 pick out of 5 picks won and this is my happiest moment but

3rd game was 3 picks out of 9 picks won so I think this is out of greediness,

but that is all from the NBA betting thread, and here in the Bundesliga 1st and 2nd divisions I am surely giving my best to put in my picks, and thanks for the support will be very busy taking stats and details for the next games, I haven't had my bets on the 4 games because of frustration on the latest NBA picks and the games I missed was, the Holstein Kiel VS Werder, Paderborn VS Hansa, Nurnberg VS FC St. Pauli, Hamburger SV VS Ingolstadt, and I really want to make a bet for the FC St. Pauli in making their comeback on the 1st standings, but still will be putting my picks soon.

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Indiana Pacers - LOST

Chicago Bulls VS Charlotte Hornets - WIN

San Antonio Spurs VS Washington Wizards - LOST

Dallas Mavericks VS Cleveland Cavaliers - LOST

Utah Jazz VS Portland Trail Blazers - WIN

Los Angeles Clippers VS New Orleans Pelicans - LOST

WOW! this is a new record and this is how greed gets into me, it is a total loss, pretty much the Heat did struggle but it was a close match against the Nuggets I was pretty lucky on the other games but not much with this one, so now I am taking a break with betting for now but will still put my picks up, well this is what's greed from betting puts me I surely need a break interval from betting on the NBA, well we can not get all that we want.

Wow @YuginKadoya, that was perfect. I think I'm gonna need to follow your bet next time, you are so lucky yesterday and I hope you'll continue that luck. So do you have picks to share on the games tomorrow? Bulls vs Charlotte looks like a good game to bet on for me, of course, I'll bet on the Bulls.

Thanks, I am just lucky about all that pick and I am still researching for some teams that have player injuries, odds, and I am also considering the standings and home-court advantage for each team aswell. So this is my quick pick for today's games



I am pretty not so confident with my pick regarding the Bulls VS Hornets pretty much I think this will be a close match Zach LaVine and Javonte Green is questionable if they can play or there will be a limited time for them to play, While the Hornets Mason Plumlee will be back on December 1, and with the Minnesota Timberwolves VS Indiana Pacers I have picked the Pacers because Patrick Beverly was out until December 10 and Jarred Vanderbilt and Jaden McDaniels is questionable to play but if they can return I would shift my pick with the Timberwolves.

He started wrestling when he was 5 years old, and he is a three-time Swedish National champion in wrestling. So, I agree with you when you say "he has the best grappling". I mean, it's not entirely surprising, right? Smiley

This is why between Gilbert Burns if Chimaev would surely have a problem with Wrestling against Burns I think he may result in striking and I am very confident with the power of his striking, but I still think against Chimaev, Burns will surely have a hard time with his Chain Wrestling, and even if they are on the ringside it is still proven effective, that is why I am really confident on Khamzat Chimaev.

I think if nothing extraordinary happens, I'm betting on Khamzat during the following year or two, no matter who he is going to fight. In no way it's a recipe for successful betting. It's just my little experiment.

Well, if Khamzat Chimaev would rise as a champion and beat up Kamaru Usman, I think he can be a very massive wall for Welterweight challengers, don't get me wrong I said if we beat the way up the Welterweight division and beat Kamaru Usman then that is what's going to happen,

I am really looking forward to that day happening, even though many are seeing Khamzat Chimaev is just pure hype, for me, I have seen potential with his technical striking, and wrestling he is an all-rounder and has the strength to push his takedowns, and just like Cyril Gane that everyone is saying is just a pure hype I think he can move his way up until he reach that title match he deserves.

Rob Font VS Jose Aldo

I think this is the only fight worth looking at, Rob Font, sure have good striking, and have good takedown defense but getting a match with Jose Aldo I think he doesn't have what it takes yet, this is just my opinion, you can say that Aldo has many experiences but that fight with Cody Garbrandt looks awesome, but that is the only fight remember about him, but with Jose Aldo, he has fought great opponent like Conor McGregor, Alexander Volkanovski, Petr Yan, Max Holloway, even though he lost to those fighters I think the experience would surely be paid off by just fighting that opponent, and against Rob Font, this will surely surface, when he fought Marlon Vera a technical striker, I think he might do that again against Font when Jose Aldo fought Petr Yan he Savage kicks his front leg that Yan shifted to southpaw, but Yan is so good of a boxer that he still beats Aldo if he can be done that to Font and Rob Font style would crubble because of that then Aldo will sure win this, Stake odds for this fight 1.67 for Rob Font and 2.17 for Jose Aldo but I will go with Jose Aldo.

Just have seen now the most of the reviews from the weekend games and damn Bayern Munich was really unlucky against Bielefeld.
Haaland also played a few Minutes for Dortmund and scored already again , and they have said that Dortmund is hot for the game next weekend about Bayern.
Would be hard to place the right bet on this match , but i guess i will be going for Dortmund on this one.

I should say the Arminia Bielefeld should be an easy match for them, but they have won a close defeat, and have scored 1 goal with Leroy Sane, I should say Arminia Bielefeld was really focused on the defense you can see that all Bielefeld players were near the net, we can see that they are surely OK with getting a draw but that defense was insane that they have shut Robert Lewandowski, scoreless,

well, pretty much I was happy after seeing Erling Haaland recover and can play again, even though Haaland just played a couple of minutes he has made a goal and yes I really think that would be an exciting match to behold.


I think given the current slight decline in Bayern and the head-to-head meeting in the German Cup, 26 percent is too little for Borussia to win. Plus Borussia will play at home, which also gives some advantage. If nothing changes and closer to the match the bookmakers will give the appropriate odds, then in my opinion the bet on Borussia will be super profitable.

Well, you might be right, and as I have said I like both teams it is OK for me if Bayern would be champion again, and it is also OK if Dortmund would win this aswell if Dortmund would win this, I think they will have the financial capability for Erling Haaland to stay another season, I am OK for Haaland to stay on Dortmund, and in my opinion, this is 1 game that is hard to predict but for all the clumsiness Bayern are getting right now and certainly losing to teams that are from the lower standings, maybe Dortmund can snatch a win from Bayern and you are right it is more profitable to bet for Dortmund, and right now stake odds was 3.55 for Dortmund and 1.91 for Bayern.

Pretty much I am happy with all of the results on today's game, congrats to all that have bet on these teams,



Los Angeles Clippers VS Golden State Warriors - WIN

Indiana Pacers VS Milwaukee Bucks - WIN

Memphis Grizzlies VS Sacramento Kings - WIN

Toronto Raptors VS Boston Celtics - WIN

Los Angeles Lakers VS Detroit Piston - WIN

Pretty much the Lakers match against the Sacramento Kings should be won if only Lebron James dulldose his way inside the ring to surely secure a score that may change the outcome of the game if they would stick to the thing they are good at, instead of going on an OT that may deplete the teams gas tanks, but still, it is a good bet record.

@bisdak said in another thread that Teofimo Lopez’s victory versus Lomachenko was a fluke. He also said that Lomachenko is the biggest name in Lopez’s young boxing record. He is clearly correct hehe. Why do the boxing experts in this subforum not share this type of information before the fight hehehe.

In any case, Fulton vs. Figueroa was also very good. It was a majority victory for Fulton. I think it was a better fight than Lopez vs. Kambosos.

He still fights Vasiliy Lomachenko I think that is enough even though there are critics with his win and I surely understand that, because Lomachenko is a rhythm fighter that will always look and wait for an opportunity to strike, while Teofimo was very aggressive in that fight and for me, he sure throws many punches than Lomachenko while with the Kambosos fight Kambosos really focused and determine and was really true to what he had said that he will play fire with Teofimo Lopez, and he never backs down from the fight.

And now on to the next event that I have seen, and I think this is pretty much interesting and will be for the WBC lightweight title



Joseph Diaz vs. Devin Haney
December 4 2021, MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

VfB Stuttgart successfully won three points from Mainz 05 after winning with a narrow score of 2-1, the odds given on the stake site are quite large and it is safer to choose a double chance between VfB Stuttgart winning or drawing. However, this match VfB Stuttgart managed to win with a score of 2-1 and moved up to 13th place in the Bundesliga standings. Statistically, Mainz 05 should have won because their current position in the standings is in 9th position while VfB Stuttgart is only in 13th position.
Just like you, I am also looking at the standings, but we can not make our pick by just looking at the team standings because that is not the big picture, for I will be looking at teams injury and suspension report, but for Stuttgart even though they have many injuries, they still have pretty much good defense and that mistake that Mainz did by not intervening early with Borna Sosa, giving him a free goal but luck still plays in each team I really think Stuttgart and Mainz game was pretty close, Stuttgart only has the home advantage that gives them the urge to win, but I had to admit what Alexander hack did was really awesome but it is not really enough in winning in Bundesliga.
And for me Hertha VS Augsburg is a close match and I don't really know who's going to win against the two, and I haven't checked yet the injury reports for both teams, and I am taking a break with the betting part, and for me, I really want to watch the Wolfsburg VS Dortmund game, and yes I want Dortmund to win so they can take the 1st position on the standings.

Honestly, I am not excited about too many teams in this league because I want Dortmund to win the league title this season. But it is not going to be an easy task for them for sure. As they are still one point behind Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich does not seem to lose any match anytime soon. So Dortmund has to be aware and should not make any mistake at this point.

Surely the score of both teams are pretty much close, Bayern has 10 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses while Dortmund has 10 wins, 0 draws, and 3 losses, and because the recent match of Bayern is against Arminia, they pretty much easily climb back the ladder, but if you will look at the December 5 match-up and that's going to be Dortmund VS Bayern a likely exciting match in my opinion, but if we look at the winning probability Dortmund 26% the match to draw 22% and Bayern winning 52% simply Dortmund is playing at home and right now we can potentially see Erling Haaland playing against Bayern is possible, and Bayern's Joshua Kimmich is out with a Coronavirus, I really think this could be a match worth watching, I really am excited for these two teams to clash.

I would surely put my picks, in a day or two, but I feel excited seeing that Erling Haaland can now play and with the day against Bayern Munich, simply they are preserving Haaland for this day alone, but don't get me wrong I like both teams and whichever of this teams would become champion I am OK with the result.

An Islam Makhachev fight is what I am waiting for, and against another wrestler, I think this could be an interesting match-up, and Beneil Dariush is a Black belt of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai against a Combat Sambo, Dagestan fighter, this is going to be interesting, I am really going with Islam Makhachev because I really love the style of Combat Sambo and Chain Wrestling we could really see if what type of Wrestling is more convenient inside the octagon.


I wonder if Dariush BJJ could cancel the Dagestan ground game a bit. He's got some nice accomplishments under his belt, both in Gi and NO Gi when it comes to BJJ competition, however, he has a loss to Chiesa from a neck crank I think, so I don't know what happened there, but, I am on the Dariush hype train so I'll be a bit biased this time around XD It's not like Makhacev didn't have BJJ opposition before, recent being Thiago Moises, but, I kinda wanna think Dariush can bring something a bit more competitive to the table. Fuck, I'm hyped.

It is really interesting if which wrestling will dominate, and if you are hype, I am pretty hype aswell, and I am going with Islam Makachev all the way, pretty much we will see a possible counter for both sides, but for me, I am looking at the amount of power they will put on along with their Grappling,

So I am really expecting Dariush BBJ is also good, but this will surely be a fight of strength and endurance if it would go to the ground, I don't know If I have said this to the thread over and over, but what is good about Islam Makachev's wrestling was it has a chain a simultaneous combo that he can pull off, and even though they are near the steel bar it doesn't matter because Dagestan wrestling really works out fine even in those circumstances, and yeah I am really biased here because I would like Makachev winning this match.

Brooklyn Nets VS Phoenix Suns

It seems that James Harden is playing more clumsy In my opinion, but it was a great match to watch and I haven't made my pick in this match because I am too busy with work, my thought with this before the match starts, the game will be pretty close so I was not wrong even though the Nets doesn't have Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant will surely play aggressively, but the thing that I have noticed here was Harden, there are many mistakes that he did that potentially can get them the points they need, but again I still enjoy the game both teams surely is aggressive with the offense, Devin Booker and Chris Paul was the key player for the Phoenix Suns, while Kevin Durant, was pretty notable with the Brooklyn Nets,

But I will give my quick pick on stake.com on the matches today, but I will not give any detail regarding why for now.



Regarding my bet, I can accumulate 0.000313 BTC if all picks win.

News from UFC is that Beneil Dariush will fight Islam Makhachev as main event of UFC Fight Night on February 26, 2022!
This interesting fight is between number 3 and number 4 ranked fighter, so it's possible that we could see Justin Gaethje against winner of Charles Oliveira vs Dustin Poirier.


An Islam Makhachev fight is what I am waiting for, and against another wrestler, I think this could be an interesting match-up, and Beneil Dariush is a Black belt of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai against a Combat Sambo, Dagestan fighter, this is going to be interesting, I am really going with Islam Makhachev because I really love the style of Combat Sambo and Chain Wrestling we could really see if what type of Wrestling is more convenient inside the octagon.

And with Charles Oliveira that recently defeated Tony Ferguson and Michael Chandler, against Dustin Poirier, is a good fight a fight that is anticipated by many, my thought I would surely look forward In the performance of Oliveira, if he can surely make a technical win against Dustin Poirier, that is also a fighter that will surely make adjustments, with fighters that he faces,

I really don't like the event right now and it will start December 5 so it is surely a long break for UFC, but I am more anticipating the future fights and what I am anticipating right now was the Cyril Gane VS Francis Ngannou fight,  The UFC 270 that could be on January 23, 2022.

Do people still want to see him win or lose?

People just want to see him. He is like a second part of a movie, sequel, another episode of tv series Cheesy They just want to know what kind of weird stuff he would do next. He is like an entertainment. Like visiting zoo. We just go there to see animals, but not to see how they hunt, fight for food and etc.

Personally, I am more interested to see him doing trash talk, act crazy during conference, make posts in twitter or instagram, after fight words. Then seeing him fighting, tactics, training.

I like all of your references, pertaining to Conor McGregor, I am on the I don't care side, he now has a screw loose and doesn't really know what to do anymore, it seems that Machine Gun Kelly and Francesco Facchinetti incident was more of a publicity stunt, but a mental disorder, I think he should look for a psychologist to be examined, or a friend to talk to, my opinion Conor McGregor might have a mental problem, maybe it worsen due to the loss he had with Dustin Poirier, he really doesn't want to accept that he truly lost to him, right now he is rank 9 in the lightweight division, he surely needs a fight that can get him back on track.

Thank you @YuginKadoya, that's a good write-up and a lot of picks.

I would follow your picks on the Warriors and Suns, they are hot right now so I think they will win and cover the spread given to the underdog.
Blazers are good but their defense are weak against the Warriors, IIRC, I read that the Warriors are top 3 in defense and offense currently, so no way the Blazers would beat them especially in their home.

Thank you, I just want to put up what I think about the current situations and what may happen during the game, but again, we will never know the output until the end of the game, and regarding the Warriors and Suns pick they are the safest pick that you can bet on, so upon writing this post the Suns have dominated and win against the Knicks with 97 - 118 that is a pretty remarkable game in my opinion and Devin Booker has shown how a great player he is and with the Golden State Warriors still Stephen Curry is tenacious and pretty much big of an IQ when playing the game he can surely go to the assist or the offense is he likes it,

Pretty much this is what I got from my picks

Los Angeles Clippers VS Detroit Piston - WON

Orlando Magic VS Chicago Bulls - WON

New York Knicks VS Phoenix Suns - WON

Charlotte Hornets VS Minnesota Timberwolves - WON

Denver Nuggets VS Milwaukee Bucks - WON

Golden State Warriors VS Portland Trail Blazers - WON

Los Angeles Lakers VS Sacramento Kings - LOST

Pretty much just 1 lost, because of the OT if Lebron James would be so kind to shoot it inside as to insist on a three-point shot, pretty much that 3OT would surely put both teams pretty much exhausted.

VfB Stuttgart successfully won three points from Mainz 05 after winning with a narrow score of 2-1, the odds given on the stake site are quite large and it is safer to choose a double chance between VfB Stuttgart winning or drawing. However, this match VfB Stuttgart managed to win with a score of 2-1 and moved up to 13th place in the Bundesliga standings. Statistically, Mainz 05 should have won because their current position in the standings is in 9th position while VfB Stuttgart is only in 13th position.

Just like you, I am also looking at the standings, but we can not make our pick by just looking at the team standings because that is not the big picture, for I will be looking at teams injury and suspension report, but for Stuttgart even though they have many injuries, they still have pretty much good defense and that mistake that Mainz did by not intervening early with Borna Sosa, giving him a free goal but luck still plays in each team I really think Stuttgart and Mainz game was pretty close, Stuttgart only has the home advantage that gives them the urge to win, but I had to admit what Alexander hack did was really awesome but it is not really enough in winning in Bundesliga.

And for me Hertha VS Augsburg is a close match and I don't really know who's going to win against the two, and I haven't checked yet the injury reports for both teams, and I am taking a break with the betting part, and for me, I really want to watch the Wolfsburg VS Dortmund game, and yes I want Dortmund to win so they can take the 1st position on the standings.

^  I kinda thought Chimaev was nothing but a hyped prospect too until we all saw him matched up vs Li Jingliang and won and made it look really easy.  I mean think about it, he could take on most of those guys in the top 10 at 170.  Masvidal, Edwards, Thompson, Luque even Covington himself.  

But yeah..  Some rumor going around that it would be Burns next but I doubt he’ll be signing the contract.  Grin  That’s the thing with the UFC, ranked fighters tend to avoid young skilled prospects in fear of losing their rank.

Edit:  How would you guys line Chimaev vs Masvidal?  Just curious... 

If Burns would sign up a contract then that would be a good showcase for Khamzat Chimaev to really show what he can do because if he can not take on Gilbert Burn that lost to Kamaru Usman then what is the purpose of letting him fight for a title match, for me Colby Covington will be a pushover not really underestimating Covington but for me, I don't see him having a shot of dominating Khamzat Chimaev inside the octagon, whether it may be a stand-up or ground fight.

Don't get me wrong, I think he could potentially be something special. He's already pretty damn good, but I'm just not eager to jump the gun especially when he hasn't been tested in every way yet, especially when it comes to title talks. Considering Usman is also a pretty damn good wrestler, but also has the advantage of very good stand up.

I might be wrong, and I'll be happily wrong if it means the division comes a little more competitive, I'm all for that. I've just been sold on hype before, and it I've always got bitten in the arse, especially when it comes to betting.

Well, I really understand where you are getting this, and yes in gambling your picks in some mere hype over Khamzat Chimaev, is surely a gamble, and I truly respect what is your opinion,

But I have seen something from Chimaev not only because of the style of his fighting pretty much similar with Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makachev, Magomed Ankalaev, and (Flyweight Khabib) Muhammad Mokaev. because all that fighters I think may bring potential to each division, but Khamzat Chimaev in my opinion has raw power, he might struggle with Gilbert Burns but I think he will likely shove this hurdle and win,

Anyway, pretty many fighters that specialize in Combat Sambo or Dagestan Wrestling could be a really tough opponent, that is why each of them tries to be indifferent division, just my thought.
