@justaguy000010 @AgainstMadness @ThaWeasle Then who would be a good win?

@FuseCS @AgainstMadness @ThaWeasle Yes he was overhyped for beating Dolidze

Excellent work (as always) from @ThaWeasle breaking down rounds 3 & 5 of Chimaev vs Strickland. There's something really satisfying after a debated split decision watching someone go through the fight with a fine tooth comb and apply the scoring criteria to the letter.

@justaguy000010 @AgainstMadness @ThaWeasle Fluffy a mid win?

@AgainstMadness @ThaWeasle Glazing the dude that gets 1 mid win between each title fight for the last 2 shots now. Yeah real unbiased commentary foh

@OriyaMid He did not get robbed just because he didn't get the decision.

Sean Strickland and DDP trilogy will probably be made after the Imavov fight. Sean Strickland WILL win that fight just like he won the first fight, except this time, he won’t be taken down, and he’ll batter his face again. Robbed the first time, injured the 2nd. #UFCParamount

@FT_Merchant05 @DovySimuMMA We've seen time and time again that this just isn't true. Esparza vs Namajunas (2) is the snoozefest that comes to mind most.

@DovySimuMMA People hating but he’s right. This is why Izzy somehow beat Yoel Romero

🤔Arman Tsarukyan says that Khamzat should’ve won vs Sean Strickland because he was champion and Sean was the contender “it was a tight fight. Champions get an advantage, the contender gotta WIN to take it”

@FinesseTheBooks @JT_Lines wtf😹😹

@FinesseTheBooks @JT_Lines These 4 second clips are from when the slider is being moved back. During the full clips you see it settle at the bottom meaning they're more likely under 145.5 than over. Hope this helps.

‼️ WOW THE SCALE IS STILL MOVING FOR BOTH FIGHTERS IN THE MAIN EVENT NEITHER ONE MADE WEIGHT ‼️ ❌ CANCEL THE CARD ❌

@itsFASHR Hoe voelen de placements met decayed elo? 😭 Smurfen op je main erna wss

I just played my first faceit pug since december 4th 2024 😂 AMA

@jds042381 @_ili79 @ufcontnt He did recover surpsingly well in the later rounds considering the damage that was done to him right there.

@_ili79 @ufcontnt Before this he got rocked. Leg wobble and everything. He immediately was able ot hide it but he obviously didnt recover.

We're still not over this moment... 😱 #UFC328 #UFC #MMA

@Tales_core @EthNatUK Iirc this was in the middle of the round. The guy just started walking away thinking he heard the bell or something. Who knew getting hit in the head is generally not good for you.

@EthNatUK The black guy is a coward and deserves that beating

I want to see this tribalism from every single white person, no excuses.

@DricusKaneXX @bullyb170 "He pressed forward the whole time" That is not how a fight is scored.

@bullyb170 I watched it twice, I still think he won to. He pressed forward the whole time. Won Rounds 1, 3, and 4 for sure.

Khamzat Chimaev didn't look right.. like the same wolf. Was it the weight cut issue? I still think he won. My thoughts 👇👇👇 linktw.in/ImkVdV

@g_ocd53557 @ParabolicNotice @afeldMMA Plus he was definitely not lean on fight night either. If you compare him at 170 and last weekend the main difference seems to be 15 lbs of fat. He needs a better team when it comes to nutrition & conditioning. Going all out in a cardio training right before the watercut is dumb.

@ParabolicNotice @afeldMMA Bruh he was 231 in early March not in the weight ins

Khamzat Chimaev reportedly cut 46 lbs ahead of UFC 328, including 29 lbs in the final 14 days leading up to the fight👀 A 46 lbs total cut is roughly 20% of his body mass. His reported timeline: ▪️ 231 lbs camp peak ▪️ 214 lbs two weeks out ▪️ 185 lbs on the scale ▪️ 11–13 lbs regained by fight night Khamzat’s reported 20% cut is more aggressive than the most-cited study on extreme MMA weight cutting (Kasper et al., 2019), the same study where the fighter still suffered acute kidney injury despite being medically monitored throughout the process. The research shows extreme cuts compromise: 🔻 Cardio and recovery between rounds 🔻 Kidney function and dehydration tolerance 🔻 Hormones tied to energy and recovery 🔻 Output once adrenaline fades Per his brother, Chimaev’s body “shut down” with 2.6 lbs remaining. The cut was paused for about an hour. After the scale, he reportedly put back on only 11–13 lbs by fight night. For context, studies show UFC middleweights on average regain around 18 lbs between weigh-ins and fight night. Chimaev entered the cage 5–7 lbs below a typical rebound. Then, less than 36 hours after his body quit on him during the cut, he stepped into a five-round championship fight. A split decision loss followed. Khamzat reportedly told Dana White he’s moving up to 205 lbs, yet reports are already surfacing that he’s “obsessed” with getting another fight with Strickland. Weight cutting in MMA is honestly one of the wildest parts of the sport ‼️

@the3els Oh lmao my bad. Don't like either system though. Tbh p4p is a gimmick because it quite literally says nothing and is largely based on feelings. But considering that Khamzat was #4 before he got beat, it makes sense that he's above Van.

@FuseCS sports.yahoo.com/dana-white-cha…

Sean Strickland above Joshua Van lmfao this company deserves nothing

@borz185 @BorzzLightyear Who the fuck is we lmao

@BorzzLightyear We were on death door, weighted less than 200 lbs, the corpse of a lightweight khamzat really schooled Strickland on the feet if you think about it

No fighter could cut that much on 6 weeks without fully compromising his performance. Part of the blame is on the UFC (a fly by night company) who promised khamzat the 205 title and the other part is on Khamzat’s team for accepting that

@p1fw_ is the output in the room with us

Chimaev held a 220+ pound guy down for 21 minutes while throwing output and chaining takedowns for 5 rounds 9 months ago. Then completely gassed out in 6 minutes vs Strickland. It’s very obvious the weight cut was a huge factor, alongside overtraining

@SirPunchalot69 @p1fw_ He got hurt early in that 2nd round, but recovered well.

@p1fw_ Chimaev gassed gimmick, he was fresh in round 5

@Ihaveopinions54 @Natedogg977 @ChampRDS imavov did beat Izzy and Caio last year, I'd give him the shot if he didn't get beat by 1 week notice Strickland previously.

@Natedogg977 @ChampRDS Do DDP v Imavov first, winner gets the shot, Imavov hasn’t done shit in ages Tired of these fighters that don’t fight nearly as much waiting for the division to move around enough without their input to justify a shot

@enriquevsoto @DovySimuMMA @pound4poundshow I just rewatched round 3 and understand why people give it to Chimaev. He had a small slip/stumble at the end of the round and got his nose busted. End round recency bias. Also, Sean rolled with a lot of punches which many people don't see. (despite commentators mentioning it)

@DovySimuMMA @pound4poundshow Rounds 2 , 3 and 5 were fucking clear for Strickland He’s just jealous that Sean could actually get his belt back meanwhile this dude made a comeback and couldn’t get a fucking single win 😂😂

🤔Henry Cejudo thinks that Khamzat Chimaev beat Strickland "I thought Khamzat Chimaev actually won this fight. And again, I was rooting for Sean Strickland It could’ve gone 4-1 Chimaev or maybe 3-2 Chimaev” via @pound4poundshow

@JayQueueMMA @JedKMeshew Yep he did. I dont know how you can ever score a round with literally 0 damage 10-8. I had 48-47 Strickland, felt like he did more damage and rolled with a lot of shots that commentators saw as hits. Either 48-47 is valid.. 48-46 tho 💀💀 x.com/i/status/20533…

@JedKMeshew Yes but didn’t you have the first round a 10-8 for Khamzat? There’s an image going around that you scored it 48-46. I had it 48-47 for Khamzat for the exact same reasons but if you gave Khamzat a 10-8 1st rd that’s criminal.

Guys, I dunno what to tell you. In my opinion, snapping Sean's head back multiple times and breaking his nose is more significant than several more jabs landed. I also was pretty clear that if you think the other way, that's fine. Strickland fans are real weird. Go touch grass.

@SteadyHearn @MchaelSNM1 DDP1 was crazy close, even DDP said he thought it was 2-2 going into the 5th (Sean won 5th on all 3 scorecards) pretty much a toss up. 49-46 Costa was an INSANE scorecard. Honestly idk what that judge was smoking- reminded me of Vera v Sandhagen judging.

@MchaelSNM1 Only Chimaev and Costa were SDs and Costa he beat like 4-1 + he beat DDP and Cannonier

3 split decisions😭
