The crowd chanting USA while Holland was getting ragdolled was absolutely hillariois! 😂

I like that he spoke good about Kevin, even offered him a place at All Stars

People wanna hate on him but they forget what kind a childhood he had and where he is coming from. I wish him all the luck and happiness for his family. 💪🏽👍🏼

"I feel alive. When I'm in trouble I feel alive. When I win my fights I feel alive. When's I'm fighting I feel alive. When somebody don't like me, I feel alive". - Chimaev

“I don’t care about that. I care about my family, my career, and my money. So what now? The people don’t like me? One day they are with me, one day they’re not with me. I am a real guy, so I like the people that are real. Not the fake people that go one way and then goes the other.” (chimaev) I agree. be yourself. your family is more important than thinking about stupid fans...

Kinda wholesome to invite Kevin Holland to All-star gym. Never thought smesh bro's needed a 3rd member.

Love how after the fight he’s humble and offers him to come train with him doors open just out of wanting to better and help people

Khamzat seemed pretty relaxed and respectful and gave a good interview 👌 I like the mutual respect between him and Holland who in my opinion stood absolutely no chance of winning the fight but gave a good account of himself, would love to see Khamzat fight Costa

the hate he’s gotten has been so overblown, he’s never had trouble making weight before and literally was forced to stop cutting weight by the ufc. y’all fanboys who switched up on him are such sheep, just going with whatever the popular narrative is, don’t come back once he’s a double champ.

He talks so calmly you wouldn't even know he just rag-dolled a guy that even Vettori and Brunson couldn't submit

An amazing performance by Khamzat. When he sticks to his roots this dude won't be losing any time soon. Hats off to Holand for taking the fight. The crowd went bananas when this fight was going on, that should tell you something, irregardless of the boos and whatnot.

You know, I don't usually get caught up in the drama and storyline for these events(and I still remained reasonably detached from this one), but this brief presser was a good reminder of how much is going on behind the scenes that we do not see. There was so much that went into Khamzat missing weight by the margin that he did, from accepting a fight in September vs. October, to the doctor recommending he stop cutting and get rehydrate, etc. His weight was likely much closer to being on the target weight of 171 before these things took place. All that to say, while I still would like to see someone come in on weight(as a former fighter, this is something that is important to me), I don't think the backlash is completely warranted. He's never missed weight before, not even(to my knowledge) for his wrestling tournaments for the last decade and a half. I understand the fans and fighters displeasure with the situation, but I also understand what lead to it. And, like he said, fans are fickle. He cares about his team, his family, and his career. And I can definitely respect that.

The way Khamzat talks about Whittaker:) I love Whittaker as well, true warriors both of them.

Nobody talking about how Dana tried to feed Nate to a killer for his last fight. Dana is a smart man. He wanted Nate to get destroyed which is dark af. The fight commission saved Nates entire soul

"I like the people who are real" Words for life

Anyone that doesn’t absolutely love this guy has far too much hate in the blood. Age of UFC where everyone plays it safe and Khamzat wants to fight everyone all the time. Completely wreckless legend.

The more fans go against him, the more crazy he is as a fighter… lucky mate

“Why you laughing?” “What do you want me to do? Crying?” 😂

“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain…” - Khamzat Chimaev

Props to the translator, my guy didn’t miss a beat.

Respect to kevin holland, no one usually accepts fight with khamzat, but he did it in 1day. And he himself told he prepared for striker but is fighting against grappler, And he sucks at wretling too but he stepped up. Khamzat dominated, but repect to kevin too for accepting in 1 day notice

The ufc doctors stopped him from cutting weight exactly at 178 and no one finds that suspicious at all? Everyone was on charles side but completely bashes this guy.

This man is too real. It’s starting to show. People are gonna have to respect it even if they don’t like it. He literally just loves to fight. Man said I’ll give him all my money. And he’s the only fighter that says that that I actually believe.

Pretty sure khamzat could’ve taken Diaz + the 10 guys who tried to jump him 😅

"A lot of guys talking shit about me. I'm gonna take their heads off you know." That's the spirit!🐺

"One day people are with me, other day they're not with me, but whatever I don't care" PREACH IT! 🙌 Khamzat is unstoppable.

Love this dude even more after this interview. He's not gonna pretend he cares about goofy nate Diaz fans booing him and admits its all about family. Felt genuine emotion it was hard to catch my breath my heart was besting so fast watching this last fight against Holland. The only dude to keep my eyes on at now that Isreal only rarely fights and it's boring.

Reporter mentions Khamzat didnt get touched and how he feels about that. Khamzat responds by saying he likes getting punched. The dude is different man. Dana knew it. The greatest mma scout in the world knew it. Win lose or draw he is going to give us amazing moments and fights. Russians and chechens man just a different breed. You can tall he just doesnt understand the over the top hollywood questions these reporters throw at you.

I really hope Kevin takes him up on training with them you’d love to see it. ✊🏼👊🏼

He really trust and respect his coach very much that's why he's great. He's not cocky just confident.

I don't like Nate Diaz...but that guy is a UFC legend for sure...and made weight to fight khamzat....that dudes real....Go Nathan

"If you want, I can go squeeze his head off again" absolute rofl I've always watched Khamzat through the lens of thinking he was playing a character, and I didn't like his attitude at the weight miss, but seeing this has restored my confidence in him. I took off that lens and tried seeing him totally believe everything he's saying, and it checks out honestly. I liked him alot before 279 and am happy to see he really does have integrity. Now I reckon the reason he's fighting as on oversized WW is a long term plan to secure the triple belt as he's said twice now. He wants all three up to LHW, and why not the lightest first while you're young and can cut easier. I know some of you will judge me for drinking the secret cool-aid here but I think this guy is the real no bullshit deal. When he talks about fighting a war, he might just be talking literally. When he says he can take anyone, hels the champ and everyone else is just a matter of time, he is being extemely confident accidentally just by being blunt and honest about his feelings. And from the looks of things so far, he might be right. Ok Khamzat, you got me. I might be wrong, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're a genuine guy, I believe you can be champ and you got a fan. This is what I needed to see. I'd be really intrigued to see Kevin train with him.

Nate got saved. Khamzat would totaly have destroyed him

I love Nate and he’s a warrior but this guy would have killed him. 24-0 at wrestling and 12-0 in UFC. He’s also wrestled at 200lb so he’s an absolute monster.

Dude grew up in two wars, and look at him now...

I like how he kisses the people he beats. Nice guy humble winner

Stupid questions, khamzat made weight 5times before, he misses 1 and oh he is finished at 170. Fish memory

When he said “I was watching his head not his hand” 😂 love him man 🐺🗡

8:05 “even if I get touched I like that” this man is a cold blooded killer

So much respect to you Khamzat! Real warrior!!

"My plan is make much money and help people."- Khamzet Chimaev 👊

Always amazing how Khamzat can go from being hard to like to hard to dislike so fast!

MaSha Allah what a way of talking, what a way of fighting.!!! This man deserves fight with either welterweight champ or middle weight champ.

I would LOVE to see Holland train with him, could you imagine how much that would round out his game !?

You can hate him but you cant deny his talant. Guy is a absolute killer. He ran through Kevin ..hope he fight with Paulo costa next.

Nate better smoke one for Jesus tonight cause that man up in the sky saved Diaz life. Sad to see Tony and Nate getting old and slow. Age gets us all

I thought Khamzat acted like an idiot this week but I liked this interview for the most part, especially the respect he gave Kevin and Bobby. With that said he could do himself some favors by taking some responsibility for the weight miss.

Khamzat you're the best! Don't let the haters or the booing audience affect your path and goals. Keep up the Elite champion level work. Wish you the best on your life and ufc career

When he said “Diaz has to thank them THAT HE DIDNT FIGHT WITH ME” 😂 To be honest thats probably the case, because Nate seemed like relieved when he found out he will fight Tony and not Khamzat.

Would love to see Bobby Knuckles train with khamzat to take his grappling to the next level. It was nice hearing that recognition of skill.

Khamzat's facial expressions when they're asking questions cracks me up🤣

Khamzat Chimaev made welterweight one week after fighting at middleweight. Considering he could make the cut in a week, it's safe to say he'll be able to do it again in the future. This was just a weird one off miss that he will learn from.

Diaz dodged a fucking bullet

Khamzat understands 99% of people have a herd mentality. Smash the opponent as fast as possible, put the fans in their place, now they worship the ground he walks on. Khamzat is psychologically very intelligent, he knows how to run things.

“You wanna go back? I squeeze his head again.” Lol!!!!! He is the best

This man is an Inspiration. Hard works pay off. All the best for your future and greetings from Germany

Love what he said about Whittaker.

Khamzat fought like lion, straight to the neck. What a fighter.

I would be very impressed if Khamzat becomes "the bad guy". He has such a nice heart. He does this to help people and also, the level of respect he shows to others, such as Whittaker, is gold. So unfair that he's been judged so badly for the weight cut thing. It wasn't even his decision.

This crazy dude (KC) is my favorite fighter. We are watching the beginning of the making of a GOAT.

People don’t get what this guy went through in his life. When he says he isn’t scared he actually means it. And fans tend to suck. They change on fighters like the wind.

"We gonna take everything from this ufc brother, now I am ufc brother" Hazmat

when he said "Whittaker?" I thought he'd go for that stupid overdone joke "___ who?" but I like it that he kept it real

As American, I'm with Khamzat.

This guy is the real deal...completely destroyed Holland,,and made it look sooo easy,,respect.

He might sound cocky but he is absolutely right. The doctor saved Nate and gave him a worthy exit from the UFC. Nobody talking about Holland making jokes backstage but getting ragdolled when there are no guys to hold Khamzat back? Everyone loves Nate for throwing a bottle but where I come from throwing a bottle in a fight is a p***y move.

I'd love to see Holland join Team Smesh. It would definitely be a plus for his career at this point, but he's kinda the type to dance to his own beat.

I loveeee it when he says “WHATTT” ❤😂😂😭

It's like Khamzat was in a trans before the fight and after the fight he has returned to his calm and humble self.

Khamzat great job listening to your Coach. 🙏🏻 Keep it this way.

I like the fight! I like the honest no bs mindset. Say what you want, he is one of the tough guys.

Ok let's be realistic here - even the current champ don't have a chance with Khamzat!! Yes he didn't make the weight BUT I think it worked out for the better. Nate went home with a win instead of hospital with injuries +plus got to fight a battle which should have taken place ages ago.

He genuinely just loves fighting lol he says he feels alive

The fake fans turn on everyone in the end this man is a beast and sure he will smesh for many years to come

The way he say thinking about they can win against me like it’s not possible 😂 this guy is a freak of nature and a once in a life time typa talent

Khamzat missed weight to not kill diaz, wat a nice guy

lets all thank the ufc for switching fights and saving nate

Noone is lucky than Nate he dodged 🦅 🐺

I know they fought at catchweight and kevin holland is a former middle weight but it would be really interesting to see how khamzat performs at middle weight against top guys like adesanya vetorri costa...etc

Guy comes in the UFC and is fighting a top 5 guy (Burns) in his fifth fight and pushed him back almost the entire fight and wins, if that’s not impressive then I don’t know what is. Guy has put that expectation on him that casuals think he will just steamroll every single fighter put in front him. Everyone has a bit of adversity no matter how strong you are, specially against elites. Khamzat is a good fighter win or lose.

Khamzat is an absolute machine

Guy is spitting facts

We seriously need some better people interviewing these fighters. These questions are so obvious and they constantly try to lead fighters into specific answers.

Killer Khamzat. Lone 🐺. Will smash this division.

Notable wrestlers like Vittori and Brunson took it into a decision with holland. Khamzat gets it done in 1. He'll do alright in MW.

I fucking love Khamzat! Shame on the fans in the arena for booing on him! He is a fucking BEAST! Love from Norway!!

He said it perfectly about the fake ass fan base one day they're with you and the next they're not, do you Borz make your money, take care of your family and those most important to you and fkkkk everyone else. Absolute savage man he put everyone on notice today.

Everyone share this video plz we need more support for khazmat. He isn't a bad guy at all he actually has more heart then anyone I've seen in the ufc before.

Man this man is a legend by far my favorite fighter

and people were thinking nate had any chance of surpassing round 1 with this beast

His spoken English has improved a lot. He offered Holland to train at AllStars. I truly believe he means it. Imagine Khamzat, Darren and Kevin becoming good friends and messing around etc. Would be crazy hilarious 🤣

Amazing a good fighter like Holland, never had a chance. Nate would've went out Badly

Monster! The guy is a gift to true fans of the sport

Hes speaking pure facts “Holland was better than Nate. If Holland fought nate he would beat nate.” listen to this man. Pure facts.

I think Adesanya vs Khamzat should happen.. in my opinion it would really be an awesome fight considering the true beast they are and really entertaining as well

it's on the block asset video footage, his coach said he made the call to stop the weight cut because it wasn't worth Khamzat's health as his body was reacting badly. In the same video, his manager said they alerted medical staff during the weight cut - the doctor stopped the weight cut. It looks like a bit of a contradiction, but I believe the coach. Also Khamzat admitted he was doing a lot more weight/strength training. So it seems to be a bit of an oversight not to factor that in.

Man he's real he was willing to give all his money to Nate, but he didn't want to go home without a fight.

The most intense fight I've ever seen & it didn't even need a single strike. The intensity is otherworldly. This guy is like a heavyweight.

If you want to be the best, you HAVE TO BE with the best. I hope Kevin seriously considers taking this offer. It would take his career to the next level and the dude has so much potential but we're only getting older so he needs to make that decision FAST! Let's go!!

It’s true the weight division is a bizarre system dehydrating before a fight crazy incredible how they do it, I like the catch weight agreement if two people want to fight each other they come in at their best healthy weight within reason . Now at middle weight why not compete in this class be cool seeing him in this stacked division . He is right about Diaz it’s time for him and Tony to leave it for the younger guys . Let’s be honest here it’s hard watching the older guys fight and hold on too long . Hats off to them for being soo tuff but got to be real where the sport is, peoples age is a factor .
