Can't imagine Chimaev will have fella's queuing up to fight him.

Watched him on Saturday night vs McKee. He's relentless and agressive

His previous fight against John Phillips was a replica, except that it lasted for 7 or 8 minutes from memory.
His dominance on the ground was just unreal in both fights. 
I know the quality isn't anywhere near what Khabib fought, but I thought his top pressure and control was at least as impressive as Khabib.

Any idea when he will fight again?

He said after the fight on Saturday night he would fight in an hours time if anyone else was injured on the card, or that further down the line he would fight twice in one night as its really easy money.

I'd doubt the UFC will keep throwing him fights every week though lol

I'd say he'll also struggle to get fights.  There's not much upside to a ranked fighter fighting him!!

It's not boxing lads, you generally fight who you are told. If you turn it down then you could be waiting a while for your next opportunity and being inactive would see you slide down the rankings. Even champions have been stripped for inactivity on the odd occasion.

The Welsh and Irish lads were a bit lambs to the slaughter for Chimaev, so hard to really judge, although he did seem very impressive. I believe there were no strikes landed on him over the course of the 2 fights! But he'll have tougher challenges ahead for sure.

He's literary Khabib 2.0

Not a chance Khabib made that weight.  UFC pulling a fast one.  Fights all on at reasonable time this evening which is good.

Special performance from Khabib. All time great.

Just watched the Khabib fight there.

He's just phenomenal, almost unbeatable.
In fairness to McGregor, he put up a better contest than either Poirier or Gaethje, albeit Khabib could fight them all 10 times each and would likely win all 30.

A pity peak Ferguson didn't get to fight Khabib a couple of years ago. I think he would have caused Khabib more problems than any of the others, but I still wouldn't have expected a Khabib loss. Ferguson looked pretty shot last time out though, so it'll be interesting to see if that's a terminal decline or whether he can get back on track.

Seems like McGregor v Poirier could happen in January. Not a huge amount between any of these 4 without Khabib, fights that could go either way, but should all be pretty exciting

Changed times, proper fight this weekend and not a peep
