nice fight 29-27 Chiamev. He probably got the best wrestling at midelweight. Not sure he beat guy like Duplessi or Whittaker but he make easy work of strickland, Adesanya and Cannonier.

5 rounds would be Usman all day. Chimaev after the rush in the 1st always gets tired a lot.

Chimaev is a one round fighter. Survive the crazy 1st round and he's a completely different fighter

Usman's a G for stepping up to fight that monster on short notice and putting on a competitive fight.

Chimaev 3-0. But it was kinda weird, he seemed so unwilling to strike and looked tired by round 3. He has show to have a better gas tank then this against burns and better striking too.
