This is crazy because it’s a 5 rounder and we all know Khamzat starts to wilt later in the fight. Not sure what the oddsmakers are seeing here

The fight is a +200 of even happening. With Hazmats Covid lungs, missing weight, and just deciding not to show up it will be a miracle if the fight goes down.
Hazmat winning would be bad for the ufc because he isn’t reliable.
I enjoy watching him fight though. I wish he got his shit together

normally fighters start to get strings of bad losses once theyve lost the belt (hit their peak)
Because it’s in Abu Dhabi…the land where sketchy shit happens to favor select fighter’s and there’s really no commission oversight or recourse to curb it

Do you think shady shit goes on backstage like maybe some of these Arabs spiking Whittakers water bottle with sedatives?

I would not be surprised if there was a mysterious illness that struck Robert’s camp lol…but also Scamzat using IV’s after weigh-ins and other performance enhancing drugs leading up to this fight…I actually think Khamzat is on some anxiety meds right now. There’s been a bit of a change in his demeanor, noticeably, he’s not so excitable and screaming he’ll kill everyone etc. Definitely think it’s being used in order to stop those adrenaline dumps he seems to have in every big fight.

I would say that it’s due to a clear advantage that Khamzat has on the ground. Whittaker has a slight advantage on the feet and I wouldn’t be shocked if he lands a KO due to Khamzat’s reckless approach. However, it’s not the same difference as the ground game.
I hope Robert wins. Khamzat is just way too inconsistent to be able to support.

I am torn for this fight. Bobby Knuckles is one of the all time greats and so underrated but I would love to see Khamzat win the title.
With my money I’ve been fading Whittaker as of late, thinking father time will catch up to him and I’ve been paying for it.
I will probably in some form do so again this Saturday, and honestly won’t be surpised if I pay for it, however I expect Khamzat’s superior ground skills to be the deciding factor.
Because Whittaker is aging, has had some absolute wars and bettors are expecting him to get wrestlefucked for 5 rounds.
I just can’t see him being able to do that without tiring out. He’s gonna get tired by the end of the second round. And then Bobby will make him pay
I’m picking Whittaker via TKO in RD 5.
Bobby Knuckles has more than a ‘slight’ advantage on this feet.

Lotta money there
I know Rob is coming off a fast KO, but DDP bullied him and finished him on the ground. If he can last the first three rounds I think he’s got a shot, but Chimaev is a savage early. I’m definitely leaning against Rob, but I hope he wins as long as it doesn’t cost me money

If this fight took place outside the Middle East, I would take Whittaker, especially after that weight cut. But, you know damn well he’s getting the good IVs right now.
I parlayed Max and Bobby. It’s a pretty decent payout if it hits.
Chimaev is about to get in that ass on Saturday!
I’m rooting for Khamzat. For some reason I’ve always disliked Whittaker.
