Khamzat Chimaev visade återigen sin dominans i oktagonen när han besegrade Robert Whittaker i den första ronden under UFC 308 i Abu Dhabi. Segern, som kom efter en imponerande och intensiv kampstil, markerade Chimaevs största seger hittills och stärkte hans position som en potentiell utmanare om mellanviktsbältet. Whittaker, som själv är en tidigare mästare och känd för sitt tålamod och tekniska skicklighet, hade svårt att hantera Chimaevs aggressiva brottning och ground-and-pound, vilket ledde till att matchen avslutades tidigt.
Proffsens reaktioner på Chimaevs prestation
Många inom MMA-världen, inklusive andra UFC-stjärnor och experter, tog till sociala medier för att uttrycka sin förvåning och beundran för Chimaevs prestation. Kamaru Usman, en tidigare mästare i weltervikt, berömde Chimaev redan före matchen och sade att han såg något unikt hos honom som kunde bära honom till seger. Efter matchen framhöll Usman att Chimaevs förmåga att dominera Whittaker på mattan var något sällsynt, och kallade det en “speciell skicklighet”. Många andra MMA-profiler berömde också Chimaevs uthållighet och taktiska mognad, där fans på sociala medier beskrev hans prestation som “Calm Khamzat is different.”
