00:00 You still don't have an opponent... nobody accepts? 00:51 What do you expect of Edwards-Usman 3? 01:18 Are there real gangsters in the UFC? 02:43 How have you improved in your 2.5 years with the UFC? 03:14 'I think I will fight Robert Whittaker' 04:26 Darren Till 06:10 Rapid-fire questions

That was a quality interview! Questions asked and production. I wish it was longer. Khamzat seems like a great and honest guy, love his style and personally. Thanks for the interview!

5.50 name of the background music please sir

name of music on 2:05 ?

reborn - swirling ship

Question - Sean Strickland? Khamzat - funny guy. Fans - f*** yes brother (in Sean's raspy peckerwood voice)

Much respect to Khamzat, his character and class are really showcased in how he talks about Rob Whitaker and also his friend Darren Till. I hope he gets a fight really soon. He deserves it and he's still training like he's in fight camp. Respect

We all saw how classy he acted around UFC 279🤣. I hope he learned from that because all in all it was kind of embarrassing for the sport. BUT, he's young, and he delivers in the octagon, so its all forgiven.

This Arab needs to fight someone his size.

@Crimeson smells like hat to me

Khamzat should stay active both in the octagon and in social media, YouTube etc. He is a unique personality and is interesting to watch outside MMA as well.

Someone give this beast a fight already

fr its taking too long

Nobody wants the smoke

@El Diablo I believe Costa called him out for weeks, even try to fight him at the PI and Khamzat did nothing.

@Johnny Sanchez Costa is looking for more money. I don't think he wants to be a part of UFC anymore.

@JISHI K Before all that happened, before he agreed to fight Whittaker, he try to get the Khamzat fight. And we never heard a peep from Khamzat on it. Ppl say no one wants to fight him. That’s BS. Costa tried, Whittaker would’ve taken the fight in Perth. I think ppl are going to be shocked when he moves up and starts fighting 5 rounds.

Thanks for asking the questions we all wanted answers too sharp interview🎯🔥

🙌

@Red Corner MMA Yeah i too wanted to know why darren sucked in his last fight.

@Dain you mean his last 5 fights

Khamzat talking about Darren sounded like he really cares about him. That's as much sentimentality as you could expect from a prize fighter

from someone who has raised in literal war*

He’s a Real Friend, as Real as it gets . Most friends abandon you at your lows or leave you alone . He’s going through that storm with him , Band of Brothers .

Haha! Thanks Oprah.

Khamzat is stone cold. Cool calm and collected. Can’t wait to see more from him.

Khamzat takes the stylelistic hardest fights in 2 divisions back to back what a Gangster 🙌

The hardest stylistic matchup for him at 185 would be Whittaker, are you implying Holland is his toughest matchup at middleweight ? Lmao

Idk he struggled with Burns in a 3 rounds fight. It’s going to be different world when he fights the top5 of Middle weight.

@Johnny Sanchez probably for 5 rounds too. That would be a great main event and practice for him.

@Johnny Sanchez burns was the hardest matchup for khamzat at 170

@PPV PLUG If you watched the video you would know he meant Whittaker even if he didn't phrase it correctly

Man..... I love Khamzat, he's definitely one of my favourite fighters. I wish nothing but the best for this guy! When you get to see his true personality....he really shines. I've never met him yet but I can kinda sense the type of person he is. A lot of people around him mention that he has a big heart. I know this year he will be his year and will get at least one belt InshaAllah!

One of my favourite fighters at the moment. TRUE CHAMPION

Хамзат ,при всем уважении,смотря на вас ,на Петра Яна, Махачкала, я в зрелом возрасте прихожу к спорту! И вся жизнь меняется! Спасибо вам огромное за ваш труд и пример ! На всё воля создателя! Пусть все будет хорошо!

Извиняюсь , Махачева ! Хабиба !

Вы большой молодец! Значит есть в вас стержень, воля и дух! Дай Бог вам крепкого здоровья! Привет от чеченца из Великобритании 🇬🇧✊

@JESUS IS MUSLIM буду рад видеть вас на острове Фукуок во Вьетнаме ! Благодарю вас

@Род я не совсем понял тебя , объяснись пожалуйста

he almost nailed with every nickname when we look at it neutrally :D

The one that colby gave

@Romeo Mike also the one he gave jorge & robert

colby one is perfect haha

Masvidals nickname is perfect

Scared boy is the last thing I’d say about Pereira 😂

Notice how he was eating at the beginning.. First, he suffered a fine from being not able to make weight as he went thousand pounds higher on the scale but then proceed to make his opponent suffer. Truly inspirational.

Wow you actually asked him why Till hasn't improved while training with him. Lol the question we all wanted to know. And he gave a great answer 👍

Exactly what we’ve been yelling at out TVs!

What a great video/interview, you did a fantastic job asking some direct questions and the ending was absolutely awesome, even tho I like Masvidal I must agree with Khamzat, he is no gangster, he is an UFC athlete and needs to win some fights, that's all he needs to focus on rn. Khamzat is the truth!!! 🙌👊😎

I agree with you 100% bro. Man the quick and honest one-two word answers at the end was dope!

My favorite fighter of all time. Real as they come.

lol, dude can't even beat the scale.

He's also one of my favorite fighters as well. I'll be in Phuket this summer and visit Tiger Muay Thai Gym. I hope I meet him and other great UFC/Thai fighters.

@Sebastien He did 11/12 times. Lol. He missed weight once and y'all haters still talk about it on his youtube channel. You guys should get a life, honestly.

@Ryan UFCLol if you only knew but hey w/e makes you sleep at night

Top tier MMA content. Thanks. More from Chimaev in the future!

He seems to have humbled a lot from the “I smesh everybody” days, this makes him even more dangerous in my opinion. Great fighter, get in him that octagon man!

But he said he has to smash masvidal too😂

Thats for when he is hyped on the fight, but he really thinks that can smash everybody!

Well he has to put on a show to sell fights. This is a private interview so he is being himself but when it's ufc official videos etc and it's game time you have to make some mess and controversy, we have to remember it is show business and it just sell the fights to make money. Those who can't hype up and gain notoriety and popularity will never make the money and UFC will also sideline them for more entertaining prospects. I think he should stick to his heel character

Khamazt is the REAL DEAL 👊 Love how honest and true his opinions are about fighters when questioned at the end. @6:10 REAL recognize REAL, REAL expose the FRAUDS 😤 LET'S GO BORZ 💥

He's like a warrior monk - nothing but training and fighting.

Nice to see his respect for Shavkat. Need to see them clash one day.

This right here!

My dream fight would be them two for the welterweight title, after they’ve both gone undefeated for another year or so

@Doron Beer I think everyone agrees. 2 undefeated monsters! However Chimaev/Whittaker is a gigantic fight right now

@Doron Beer Agree!

Thanks for Quality Content of Khamzat, almost everyday I look for news, its hard to find good videos, this is a great one, hope we see him sooner rather than later.

same here

Khamzat is such a good guy you can tell, he seems very real.

Khamzat and Till are true brothers I hope they stay like that it sucks seeing all the friends separate because of the sport sometimes. Your the man Khamzat and bless you till 🙏🏾

I see him every day at the gym here in Thailand. Train on same mat but he's with his team and sometimes in the cage away from everyone.

Is he training through Ramadan?

@absoluteabbs  he left Thailand. He was there maybe 6 weeks.

Хамзату Терпения и Успехов!!! Переживаем,Надеемся!!! Ещё Порадует Нас Всех!!!

i'm 55 and i still 'suffer so i can suffer later'. really being in shape and working hard at it is the best drug in the world.

“Suffer so I can suffer later” that’s not what he said. He said “suffer now to make others suffer later.”

You're 55, it's good to exercise but you shouldn't train really hard at 55, mostly enjoy life if you can.

@Akritas Digenisi hear what you're saying and i'm listening to my body, but i'm also driven. i mix it up : running, calisthenics, yoga, gym, light weights... and i give myself a day off or two when i've earnt it.

Buy some hearing aids gramps

The way he talks let you know that he has good soul

Love the answers to the the fast fire questions at the end. Khamzat is smarter than people think.

I love everything about this guy ❤️❤️

Great content brother, this is definitely one of the top channels in the MMA YouTube space 👊🏻

I appreciate that!

Very solid interview and a cool fighter. Would like to see him rise to the top

Awesome stuff here 👏🏿👏🏿 khamzat is that good people are scared! He’s one of my favourite fighters ! Borz 👏🏿👏🏿

So many people hating on him, hating him for missing weight, hating him for the talk, but you cannot deny that he is a monster in the cage and his work ethic is crazy, his far goal i heard is to be the first triple champ in UFC and I believe if he tries hard enough he could accomplish that

Nobody is doubting his skills little man. It’s just the way he behaves, definetely not like a real muslim.

@Sanki Fanki “little man” is that supposed to boost your ego or something? I’m not here to witness this man be a Muslim I’m here to watch him train and fight. And yes there are still many people doubting his skill.

@Sanki Fanki in Islam you can't fight

I really like his mentality! All respect for him!!!

Many fighters are scared to step in the ring with this man. He will get his chance.

Khamzat really respectful guy but when it is thime he ‘works’ in UFC, we really put an effort. thank you for this interview

I love and respect Khamzat as a fighter and from what we get to see. he is a true gentleman. May Allah grant him every victory he needs to become a CHAMP for a very long time.

Ты самый лучший в боях, я просто тебя обожаю, верь себя, и не смотри нинакого, просто знай, тебе нет равных. Ещё раз, ты лучший 💪👊🙂

The way he answered to all the those names of fighters…he sees through it all

I’ve never seen a natural fighter like khamzat it looks like he was born to do this.

The way bro fights is something out of a nightmare, coming forward hard the whole time no matter what you land on him

My dad says the exact same thing to me when I'm struggling suffer now to make them suffer later

I think taking that Nate Diaz fight was the worst decision of his career, and that enormous failed weight cut really put him in an awkward position where he doesn't seem like a welterweight anymore, but he also hasn't fought anybody of note at middleweight. The public completely turned on him, 180 degrees. I think he really needs to commit to one weight class and get back into the octagon as soon as possible. Personally I'm hoping he gets his run at 170 back on track before moving to 185 later in his career. Even if he doesn't get the title shot at Edwards and Covington keeps hiding from him, there are some killers at the top of the division who'd make must-see matches: Shavkhat, Belal, Usman! I'd love to see Khamzat and Usman test each other. Then again, if he can actually book either that Whittaker or Costa fight and win, well a win over a top 5 fighter is an easy shortcut to the top of a division. That could be exactly what he needs to kickstart a run to the title at 185.

Khamzat quote :( We are suffering know to make others suffer )

Khamzat is bad ass. I was an instant fan the first time he fought in Ufc, something stood out to me he was different. Then I watched the little videos of him wrestling that where on youtube, and knew he was going to be a ufc champion. 🐺

Funny he has been made a villain since the weight miss which is silly with how many big names guys have missed weight, seems like a really solid dude, but hey, controversy sells, Whittaker chimaev would be a huge test For him and I would love to see it. Really solid interview

I was so disappointed when he didn't make weight last fight....I know it's hard but just expected better from a guy like this

@Matthew Cutillo bro stop it😂Khamzat just missed weight, stop trying to make excuses for Khamzat. He was unprofessional and he should try to be more professional his next fight.

@Akritas Digenis Why missed weight? His previous fights he didn’t missed weight. Some ufc guy told him not to cut weight at the very last minute. Is it a coincidence?

@Aloha Tigers because he probably gained a lot of weight so it was hard for him to cut all that weight or maybe he didn't start cutting weight properly at the right time. It doesn't matter if he didn't missed weight in the past, he's a big guy and he's a natural middleweight so he shouldn't really be competing at welterweight unless he can make weight.

Cry me a river

You think he did that by accident ?😂

He s a solid guy If ya have him as an friend, guess for a lifetime Also guess in future become champ

He has potential to be the GOAT in his weightclass

You asked some good ass questions 👏

Thanks!

@Red Corner MMA The darren one was fire, I'd asked that too, was so curious to know

Yes

fr

Damn this video gave me the chillssss the future is bright for Khamzat but a lot on the line damn

The reaction by Borz when the interviewer said Shavkat was interesting haha gave me the impression he believes it's the better fighter of all mentioned

yup khamzat is smart he knows how dangerous is shavkat

Shavkat is still unproven he needs to fight someone in the top 5. Belal, khamzat, colby, and usman would all give him problems.

@Linux I loved Borz's reaction though haha I think he knows that dude is the real deal

I hope he becomes the champ this year. It would be the most exciting and fun title reign.

Respect for asking the Till question. That is what you call good journalism!

The thing that makes him so scary, is he's so hungry. he doesn't even consider fear. he's too focused.

After watching his fight with Gilbert, he's gonna get beat soon, he needs to improve fast because he's mouth went to far ahead of him. He's a beast but he got exposed shockingly, I was surprised how bad he looked and struggled against Gilbert.

Khamzat is a stand up dude nice to see him taking care of his guy Darren Till 💯

Genuine Warrior

Трудяга, чемпион, всех тебе вершин .!

Loves how he sticks by Till regardless

Khamzat is a beast 💪🏻❤️‍🔥

What a legend

This guy is in the next level..

The answers to those last questions were spot on 😂

Alex pereira will beat the shyt out this guy

@Save humanity what’s Alex gonna do about the takedowns?

@indeed what did masvidal do against Ben askrens takedowns?

@Save humanity if Alex doesn’t land that lucky shot like Jorge did , he’s getting finished quick. 👍

@Save humanity  Khamzat doesn't even need to train for that fight, he would dump Pereira on his head and submit him round 1.

Great interviewing skill and editing skill. He won me as a fan

I am glad he looks lean and he hasn't bulked up. We need him to take that 170lb belt.

Reminded me of what pacman said before, “if you train hard, the fight will be easy”.

I don't think anyone wants to fight him, this guy will literally tear you apart like a lion.

Wow this was really great. I Respect the mind of Khamzat

He's grown a lot since the Burns fight. He seems more even tempered. And it's nice to see that he's there for Till. I don't know who he fights next or when, but I'm glad they are taking their time. He's fun to watch.

He’s the scariest-looking funny-looking guy I’ve ever seen.

Khamzat really needs a fight soon, I have the feeling that the ufc is trying to made Paulo vs Khamzat or get colby for a co main event

Nobody wants to fight Khamzat. Unfortunately. Paulo won’t fight Khamzat. I wish they would though. Paulo only has one fight left in UFC.

If this dude doesn’t get a fight soon ima be even more pissed

Get this man a fight already.

I LOVE HIM MAN!!

Oh No ! was enjoying watching Khamza so much then this video came to an end ! Can't help but admiring his honesty

We need this guy back to ufc

Just need someone to actually want to fight him. Everyone denies his fight.

This guy is a real fighter is always excited to watch him fight.

Khamzat " I kill everyone aghhhhh" Khamzat " As soon as I got popular everyone started talking trash" Hilarious

Interesting to hear Khamzat call Shavkat Rakhmonov a "good fighter". Rakhmonov is a lurking monster in the division. Not even Khamzat has a 100% finish rate.

When Khamzat train hard and stay calm. You know something is cookin.

He is the man respect from Scotland big man

Excited to see him Vs Whittaker!

im not at all, 2 of my favourites

@wazza banzook Bobby has nothing to gain anymore

@Shafqat Ishan he said he aims to win the title again and he is capable

can't say it's possible but man i would die to see khamzat absolutely destroy conor

Just give him the belt so everyone has to fight him.

My new favorite UFC Fighter💪🏽

Khamzat is the man! 👏

Nunca e visto peliculas de luchador . Quisiera ver a chimaev en una pelicula de accion en una ciudad

i enjoy this version of borz. see this is the real everyday hard at work putting in the hours training khamzat. solid dude!

Thanks everyone for showing so much love

I been missing daddy Khamzat 😍 can’t wait for his next fight ❤

now that u see chimaev side of the story people are portrayimg him as a villain but people were thrash talking just because he was doimg his job pretty well and going pasd through guys like nothing so why is it a big deal when the wolf bites back🐺

Amazing reporter. Asked the right questions.

thank u it was me

Khamzat does really look at Darren like family

Chimaev Machine 🐺

Imagine how crazy you gotta be to call Pereira a scared boy

The GOAT

He’ll excel constantly

the one thing I've been hunting for in 2023 is a fight for the Borz
