Danna white has officially announced That kamat Chimay will fight Middleweight kamaru Usman at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi Alis karov and Shara bullet Were not needed Usman quickly agreed but With one condition if he wins he Advances to a title fight against Strickland let's break it down now what Will the former Champion be able to do In the new weight class is he in great Shape and what kind of fight will Chimay Show it's a great fight give us a like If you're excited let's let's go and yes Makev has been replaced volkanovski Steps in on short notice and Promises to Knock makv out this time experience in This aspect on the face of it it's even Silly to compare the champion who has Made five belt defenses has beaten the Entire top of his weight class think of His fight against Burns and kamat's Fight against Burns but there's one fact That evens things out a bit and that's The middleweight division kamaru was Only dominant and strong in his weight Class he hasn't been in the middleweight Division where the guy are already much Heavier and racing bigger weights oh and He's coming out on short notice don't Forget the fight is 9 days away hence The cardio the fight will only be three Rounds at least I couldn't find any Other information it would have been Cool to do five because the UFC has
Practiced that before but I think it's Still three rounds and you know even for Three rounds there's a lot to think About and talk about well comez it's Understandable he can get tired too it's A new weight class and all that but Kat Has been preparing for the middleweight Division for over a year kamaru Usman Again coming out on short notice are we Sure he's coming out in good condition And he's been preparing well and not Eating burgers all this time or maybe he Just needs a nice oh so fat check think About it so both experience and stamina Are equalized here because of a new Weight class for both a three round Fight and karoo coming out without a Proper Camp in anthropometry they are not very Different the difference is only in Height kamat is 2 in taller and kamaru Usman's armspan is not much bigger in Striking technique I have more questions For both of them than to praise their Pluses and tell who and how they fight There are still questions for Chimay After the Gilbert fight for kamaro after The leyon fight even after two fights Well look kamat had his first standup Fight with the Brazilian and what did we See kamat can lose in the clinch and Take some serious damage there are gaps In technique and poor defense but he Makes up for those shortcomings with
Resilience character and that mental Attitude missing and up Chimay did not Give up and this is a very important Aspect what can be said about the kamaru Who came up against leyon pressure and Jabs don't help if you're not facing a Dummy Usman doesn't have a plan B he's Easy to read in the standup and his Arsenal is also sparse jab double jab And duu when your opponent avoids your Striking hand and just moves then kamaru Doesn't know what to do at all Usman in Usman's way has a heavy jab and he can Hit you can't compare Leon and kamat Striking here the level is different With kamat especially if he is tired Especially in the late rounds many Things can go right and kamat as we've Noticed is missing a lot well let's be Honest Chimay also has a heavy jab and He can hit two then again Usman is Static and can be fouled I think kamaru Is still a slight favorite in the Standup all he needs to do here is not Make stupid takedowns and not engage in Exchanges though in exchanges too we Know there could be chances Chimay EV Went down more often in the fight Against burds but my opinion on the Wrestling has changed dramatically look Kamat is very strong on the ground he Transfers a and so on kamaru was like That too until recently but especially With some Woodle out there however all
These rumors about his knee injuries Didn't come from nothing in his last Fight he tried to spend it only in the Standup not because he's tired of boring Wins but because he does have serious Problems and when you have problems you Fight less not only in your fights but Also in training as a consequence you Lose skills and then you get transferred By Leon Edwards the last time Usman Dominated on the canvas was against Jorge Maz Vidal and he turned him over Purely on physical strength stren also If Usman moves up to middleweight and Fights chv who is huge and also very Strong I think Usman will need to think About his defense here not that Chimay Will beat him right away but kamat will Be able to hold him down and try to turn Him over Chimay wouldn't wrestle burns After the first round as Gilbert is Dangerous with his takedowns is Usman Ask yourself dangerous Chimay will Definitely take the fight here Especially in the first half of the Fight we have two options in our fight Prediction the first is kamaru is on the Downswing kamaro is injured and out just For the money he's lost twice he talks About title Ambitions in this weight Class but I don't think that's his main Goal now up until a month ago he just Wanted high-profile fights and was Offering a fight with kumot at interim
Weight the title fight against Strickland only came up yesterday and he Wants it simply because it's also a High-profile fight any fight for the Belt is always a high-profile fight and You also get a percentage of Pay-per-view sales so good financials in The standup I'd pick kamaru as the Favorite but it's 55 to 45% In wrestling I'm confident Shima will Take most of the fight the only last Question that remains is the physicality We are at middleweight and kamaru comes Into the fight overweight well I don't Think that's in his favor Chim has been Training for over a year at this waight Kamaru isn't coming into the fight in The best condition and he's still a Climatizing he only flies out to Abu Dhabi tomorrow Chimay is already Anticipating this win and is ready to Blow him away and kamaru was still Drinking coffee and eating sandwiches Yesterday and now he's flying out to Fight in the main event after after Injuries after losses not at his weight What's he thinking imagine yourself in His shoes if he loses it's fine I've Already lost twice and the weight is not My weight and I have a ready excuse I Didn't prepare what are you guys Thinking
