Chael still out here calling Khamzat Hazmat 😂
Cause he's dangerous. It's actually a compliment
& "Kamara" Usman lol. At least he screwed up both names in the interest of fairness.
He effs up so many different names "Blahal" Muhammad lol
I noticed that as well XD@@steveknick1978
Best one was calling Jiri “Gory Provider”
Massive respect to Kamara and Hazmit for managing to pull through this interview.
it was an honor to be in this interview, they actually paid Chael for his time
Its hazmat not hazmit brother
kamarma and haramza
😅
You mean Hosman and Chamaya? I haven't heard of these guys and one of them is gonna have a title shot after this fight, this is mind blowing
Respect to Chael for interviewing so many guys at once, Kamaru, Hazmit, Kamzat, Hazmat, and Chimaev.
You forgot Kamara. But respect for summing it up 👏
lol
Great comment haha😂
😂😂
Chael needs to stick to Chimaev. He can’t say Khamzat, no matter how much he tries.
Khamzat’s facial expression throughout the interview… 😂😂😂
6:22
His new beard coiffure looks like he’s auditioning to be the new ZigZag rolling papers man.
LETS GO BABY!!!!! KHAMZAT SMESH.. love ur channel alhamdulilah FEEEEEEL THE SMESH BROTHA/SISTA
😂😂
😂😂@@irreet
Khamzat's face in the thumbnail🤣
I was like oh Jesus
Love how he leans into being insane lol
Yeah he winning on Saturday
he’s on the spectrum for sure
Fcking weirdo 😂😂😂😂
Hazmat & Kamara ....... Chael Absolute legend
Ooze man
Chael DGAF 😅
Kamara ooze men and hazmat chilmaev
It’s KAZMAT actually.
I'm genuinely impressed by Kamara and Hazmit's poise while navigating this interview
4:14 that smile was like out of a movie 😂
They gotta do these face-off interviews way more again. It's fun seeing them interact directly
I agree, either with Brett or somebody else Interviewing them or the fighters doing It 1v1 Individually.
@@darkclaw1462BRETT lmao
@@darkclaw1462you need a mediator or most fighters would just be shouting over eachother
with better wifi and mic next time
They barely even interacted 😂 I think they respect eachother too much to trash talk
Khamzat could play a villain in a movie so easily 😂😂😂😂
Stuff that nightmares are made off
His beard looks like a fake one
Giant paint brush
Imagine seeing that guy in a dark alley.
He has a beard that would put an Amish man to shame
the way he looks at the camera 😂
The way khamzat looks at Usman at 4:15 6:24 trying to scare him
this guy is a comedian
Gotta love Usman. This man is a true competitor. Dude truly cares about the sport, he wants to fight as many best fighters as possible at any time possible. Not many people in any sport are willing to do this.
they doing the same here......
they put in costa's fan base first
reveal the true card....
leave the fighters in disbelief to "act" as if its a natural occurence
ufc is a business that benefits both fighters, dana, and his match makers and his business....
its gladiator but everyone is blessed
khamzat makes me feel like he's carrying a knife
LETS GO BABY!!!!! KHAMZAT SMESH.. love ur channel alhamdulilah FEEEEEEL THE SMESH BROTHA/SISTA
We got a guy who has the best takedowns we’ve ever seen, possibly the goat, smashes people brutally and has never lost a fight and in my opinion never lost a round, interviewing two great Mixed martial artist.
This is my first time ever commenting on CZcams, but this might be one of top favorite comments I've seen thus far
Chimaev not in the goat discussion. Many had Burns winning the fight. He just looks good against certain opponents, but didn't look so with his only elite opponent.
@@studioorigami7463he’s talking about Chael
@@studioorigami7463joke went way over your head . 😂
@@studioorigami7463go to sleep, then WAKE UP
Kamaru: “As I’m sure he’s excited”
*Chimaev staring menacingly*
4:12
😂Borz gonna finish him in 1
Khamzat’s joker smile whist usman was talking about the victory was cracking me up 😂😂😂
Khmazat’s face at 4:16 he looks like he’s ready for literally whatever😂😂😂😂
Usman will never be forgotten in this sport
LETS GO BABY!!!!! KHAMZAT SMESH.. love ur channel alhamdulilah
Who?
Yep he’s a legend for sure. Was the most avoided fighter ever back when he was upcoming literally NOBODY wanted to fight him until he won the belt! Absolute monster
Never heard of him
Will forever be one of my favorite fighters.
As a fan of Chimaev, it's interesting to see how humble he is before Usman, compared to how he was acting against Costa. Looks like both fighters understand how good their opponent is and respect them for it. This fight is going to be amazing!
he had too, burns fight made to focus little bit more and have that cockiness slowed down, maybe pre fight interview hype ofc thats the game
I think it’s the other way around
It’s his hardest fight to date, people forget how good usman was because of the fight with Leon but you have to understand that he was the number one pound fighter in the world at some point . Maybe moving to middleweight is his best option especially when you consider that Izzy won’t be fighting anytime soon and he is even contemplating calling it a day with his career. Because of how big usman and khamzat are to the ufc, I wouldn’t be surprised if the winner fights for the title next
I think is because he feel respect to take a short notice like that he dont feel it will be good to make trash talk even for promote
Khamzat grateful Usman took the fight
That stare tho 4:17 😂
Khamzat’s nonchalance that is primarily disguised under his obvious profound respect for Usman had an unwavering level of laughter as well as awe to this interview LMFAOOOO! I love this matchup with two savages - one on the rise and ascension to glory, the other legend for me. I’m going to be absolutely locked in on Saturday!
Mr psychology 😂😂😂
What a stupid comment
Did you use chatGPT to write the comment
@@dopemusic6414 I mean just compare how Khamzat was in previous interviews or imagine how this would’ve been gone down if Costa was in Usman’s chair. Your satire is not funny or woke, you sound like a clown
LETS GO BABY!!!!! KHAMZAT SMESH.. love ur channel alhamdulilah FEEEEEEL THE SMESH BROTHA/SISTA
Khamzat answering questions they didn't even ask😂
😂
He sees the future and is making sure his 1 question ahead of anyone
😂🤣😂🤣
I can still hear a bit of scouse in khamzat's accent 😂
@wajihbec1087 Hopefully, we won't see a sign of Till during 294
Of course chael got khamzats name wrong 😂
Shoddy journalist lol
@@Mcfc2Richhe does it on purpose 💀
@@jackreacher2095I don’t understand why it just makes him seem ignorant lol. I love when Ariel calls him out on it and he acts all confused
@@plushpc5992it's hilarious lol and the fact that he's sticking to it face to face makes it even better coz the fighters know he's trolling
Kamara
I wasn't a big fan of usman but he seems to be much more humble in in his speech and it makes him much more likable!
This fight is going to be nuts!!!
The respect those 2 fighters had during this interview was palpable.
Chimaev didn't understand a single question, he just says whatever comes to his mind
😂😂😂😂
Indeed lol
Chael giving him the full vocab and chimaev is like “😮” and then mumbles whatever he wants to
he understood the prediction question atleast and said that he doesn't do predictions cuz when its in the cage what happens is unpredictable
Lmao 😂
Khamzat looking like a hungry starving wolf throughout the whole interview 😂
Think that's just his weight cut mate
Usman gunna domesticate your wolf
@@dyfox3856 LMAOOO you better hope so cause if Usman lose or gets Completely Dominated you know everybody coming back to this comment to violate you right
@jayybiggaveli6632 ooo I'm so scared
@@dyfox3856lol they coming to violate you😂. I think these people take comments too serious
going to be an amazing match.. love both these guys..
Chael did good interviewing, kamara and kamzatata
Never understood why Usman has so many haters. He did so much for this sport. One of my all time favorites.
He literally did nothing but juice! and cheat and hold up the division with the most rigged bouts UfC has ever seen
He’s a bit corny I think that’s probably the main reason honestly
This fight will win over a lot of people hating on him, win or lose
Idk either but I am a hardcore mma fan so I barely dislike any fighters. Usman deserves all the respect for what he has done. He had backed up all his talk and become world champ. He is a savage and I think he now wanna be 185 champ since Izzy is out. Corny sometimes but most of these ufc fighter corny don’t mean we shouldn’t respect and appreciate their elite level skills
it stems from his earlier days in the UFC, where he got a reputation for being boring ( lay and pray for decision wins) while being corny ( you know the 30% meme etc etc).
But yea after becoming champ and now even more so after losing the title he has carried himself in a way that you really have no other choice than respect him. Dude took his losses like a man and then jumps on this short notice fight.
Khamzat respects Usman a lot, you can tell because he was a lot more respectful in the interview than with other fighters 😂😂😂
He said it before that he respects Usman and he's always wanted to fight him since he was champion.
You could tell from cracks in Khamzat's voice
LETS GO BABY!!!!! KHAMZAT SMESH.. love ur channel alhamdulilah
Well Usman is a wrestler, a Muslim and recent long time champ who showed respect back. So plenty of reasons to be respectful.
@@msmrreckoningquit spam coping it's pathetic 😂
Respect to both guys for taking this fight
Usman ws a gr8 champion and hd a wonderful run.
Its good to see mutual respect between them.
One of those fights wr u wl be heartbroken no matter who wins😪
6:20 chimaev's face throughout this interview is hilarious 😂😂.
LETS GO BABY!!!!! KHAMZAT SMESH.. love ur channel alhamdulilah
Lool he cracks me up.
Looks like a villian.
What’s crazy is so many people have ducked Khamzat and Usman has pursued him. Even with his losses Usman is still a champion and ran through his division before Leon. Usman is in a totally different conversation if he doesn’t lose to Leon and give him that confidence.
He ran through Leon as well lol..won their first fight and won 98% of their 2nd fight and lost a split decision in their 3rd.
He signed on to fight Nate Diaz after talking about killing everybody
I reacted to it on my YT page TRU UFC Page
Cannonier, Belal, Leon, Bo called him before.
@@NaijaBullnah got beat at his own game in the first round. 1st takedown conceded and was controlled on the matt
So much respect for these two fights right now.😎💪🔥🔥🔥
Love to see the ufc #3 in trending. Also love any chance to see uncle Chael 🦾
Charl sticking to his "Hazmat" to his face is too funny.

I wish Kamaru could have had a full camp, but I still believe he can do it.
Khamzat will smash usman 😂
@@josephmills9205couldn't even smash Gilbert stfu 🤣
2 years ago....sure Usman wins
@@josephmills9205why didn't he smash burns??
@@josephmills9205If Khamzat does the same as he did with Burns by not taking Usman seriously then it will be a long night for him. Usman is a total beast! And I think Usman will get the W.
Usmans Evolution of getting better over time was so fascinating and amazing to watch
Always great to see Hazmat
4:15 Khamzat's face 🤣😆
LMAOOOO Khamzat look like a mad man this whole interview 😭😭😭😭
I can't believe Kamaru is taking this on such relatively short notice. Makes me believe he was already training for 185 and that possibly knew he would have a fight soon. Either way, to accept Hazmat in a NEW weight division for Kamaru is insane and I have new respect for Kamaru now
This is going to be awesome, respect to both
Respect to both Khamzat and Usman for taking this fight on mega short notice
Isman took it on short notice
They get paid millions.
Ill go out there in a dress and i have never fought.
Respect? Lmao, fanboy dork
@@jonathankabasele985 they both did. khamzat was in camp but training for a completely different style of fighter, and usman like anyone at the top of the pile is always in shape and ready barring injuries
@@googlename3859 No, no, no. There's a big difference between being in camp vs just being in shape. It's nowhere near the same. I'm not making excuses for Usman, he was going to lose anyway - his knees are cooked.
@@iliilliliiliilliliiliillil9137 there is a difference, but again spend 2 months training for one guy and now you're fighting a completely different style not just man. so really they're both taking it on short notice, khamzat likely has a conditioning advantage right now but thats it
Was never an Usman fan but I never missed a fight of his either. A move like this further paves his legacy, you can’t deny it. Well done and good luck to both these guys
Usman is going to get ragdolled
usman is overrated tbh
@@Jake-oq2bq How can you call a dude that was lapping his division and beat a dominant champ overrated?
@@Jake-oq2bqyou must’ve done some amazing things in your life to call Usman overrated after all he’s done. 😂
@@Jake-oq2bq here comes the usman hate train aka the Colby cuckold express
That camp is nuts! Idk how those fellas do it but hard work my God!
Found it interesting that when Chael asked them if they were going to win, Neither guy said yes, It feels like both fighters are aware of how good their opponent is & Have massive respect for each others skills. Curious how this fight plays out now.
Agreed both were humble
Scared
Before Leon Edwards the old Kamaru would have said yes by KO
@@tn5630grow up buddy
@@DearsonsUsman usually doesn’t give a prediction of how he’s going to win, except vs Masvidal 2.
Everyone better not act surprised if Usman wins like he isnt proven and accomplished. Dude can 100% pull this off. Anything can happen in this sport.
If anyone calls the Usman W, "the biggest upset in UFC history" they're casuals and disrespectful
Yeah, it’s not like Usman is fighting a bigger dude. Both were legit the same division with Usman ranking much higher.
The upset is if Khamzat pulls this off
@SuperVladamere Yeah nobody will say that. Is Khamzat even the favorite?
Usman smoked burns and strickland lol no idea what's gonna happen
@@seanmatthewkinghes a big favorite, just google the odds bro.
You know what? This was an excellent interview!
It was very refreshing to see civil behavior without all that visceral hate we usually see from UFC promotions.
Usman has been undeniable in every fight accept for his last.
He’s a legend who’s still at the top of his game against a true hungry lion.
I think experience is going to determine this fight. I’m actually hoping for a grappling war.
American grappler vs the Chechen/Dagestani Grappler. Guna be one for the books
“I can’t let you get close” - Chael when pronouncing foreign fighter names correctly
😂😂😂😂
I think they should do more of these! Problem with having both fighters on, they end up taking over the interview but the bad guy keeps them in check.
Easier to respect a man like Chael over Ariel
And also these guys are all pro, and have mutual respect for each other
When you come from a rough place like West Lynn you should respect the man, even guys in the favelas had a maid coming more than two times a week
Something felt off abt this interview and i think its bc they know they can't bs around ex fighters, having people like chael/dc interview is awesome
Chael "Hazmat" Chimaev ☣️☣️☣️ 😂
0:42 bro stop 🤣🤣🤣
Bien con la entrevista!
It’s weird seeing Khamzat so respectful but I like it. He’s respecting his opponent but he’s clearly not afraid
Well I think age and experience and the fact that his opponent isn't trash talking him are 3 factors.
The Gilbert Burns fight taught him that these are the top dogs for a reason
Gilbert burns break khamzat usman can finishd these guys completey
@@damienholland8103 i think his marriage too , his wife must have learned him that he needs to be humble sometime
It’s because they’re both Muslim.
6:21 that look from khamzat even had usman cracking up
Bro def got a screw lose
@@raymon418you just watched too many movies, it's called predictive programming
What a fight, man, havent been this excited in a while
In no other combat sport will you see two massive fights replaced on short notice with even bigger fights. Insane business from the UFC. 🔥🔥
You don't think this was planned? Come on
@@ericbaum9286You think Olivera intentionally let someone split his eyebrow open? And Costa intentionally got a staph infection? Please take the tinfoil hat off 😂
You dont think at all do you eric?
@@ericbaum9286 you’ve had a shocker here lad.
LETS GO BABY!!!!! KHAMZAT SMESH.. love ur channel alhamdulilah
Love hearing Khamzat said he’s grown a lot from the Burns fight. He seems more humble and I think it will benefit him going forward.
LETS GO BABY!!!!! KHAMZAT SMESH.. love ur channel alhamdulilah
He was always humble. He just didnt respect Costa. Usman always respected Khamzat and vice versa
Uncle Chael ALWAYS comin' thru inna clintch, T.Y. Sir!
Kamaru is awesome. Not enough people give him enough credit. He knows how to build his opponent. Most UFC fighters don't understand the importance of doing so.
Bro I love wrestler vs wrestler matchups. It’s like watching two apex predators go at it. You don’t know who’ll shoot first, or if they cancel each other out we’ll just get a crazy slugfest
Apex huggers.

These two have really grown over the last year, being tested and/or losing matches. I think humility is going to be a tremendous asset to both of them.

Khamzat surprised me, he mentioned Burns fight and he said I’m different fighter now , I learned a lot from that fight ! That just made me remember the interview with Burns where he said I would rather fight Khamzat now then in two years from now because once he get that experience he would be unstoppable!!
