Khazmat won 1/3, Gilbert was game as **** but Khazmat really calmed himself down there in the 3rd, he was out of control swinging for a crazy KO in the second and almost lost because of it.

Great fight.

Now we get to see Aljo take on the meanest fighter in the organization.

Would have to watch the 3rd round again. But Chimaev looked like he was fresher at the end had Burns in big trouble earlier in the round. More visible damage on Burns might have cost him.

Ill gladly admit Im a big Burns fan, so no doubt watching it with a slight Burns tint on my glasses haha. Either way great fight.

Looks like Sterling has a real-estate agent in his corner.

Thought Chimaev took the third. He controlled the first minute, back and forth was fairly neutral for the next few, granted Gilbert was landing bombs, but in the end Chimaev was still controlling the octogon, coming forward and scoring. That kid has a **** chin, holy crap. He took like 15 shots that would've flatlined most WW's. Khamzat is a bad matchup for Colby and Usmans got his hands full. Only thing working against Khamzat right now is he needs a little more experience to fight the champ and he might not get it.

Should've been a 5 rounder.

Last round was 50/50.. take of two halves. I figure khamzat pressing forward and burns checking the clock swung it.



That right Rand khamzat ate my god

Split draw would be the funniest outcome. But think Yan will get it.

Asking for an acting role right after you win the belt? Gross.

I got Yan taking 1, 4, and 5. I dont think either one of Alto's were 10-8 rounds. So ya dont agree with that decision.

had that 48-47 Aljo. Round one was a close af but Aljo on volume strikes. Rd 2 was a borderline 10-8 but 10-9 works. 3 Aljo. 4 Yan. 5 was a literal coin flip, looked good with Yan in the last minute but Aljo grinded harder for the majority of the round.
