      He's still supremely confident of his skills; but life has given him a firmer grounding, having now seen a few elite guys fall and having fought an elite himself: no matter how good you are --- or think you are --- as Khamzat himself now admits, the chin is not made of titanium. Another elite lands on your chin, just once, very hard, are you go down just like every one else!
      The other thing: he and his gym have both gotten into hot waters recently. The coaches & owners of the gym ---- who have big bills to pay and dozens under their wings, training in facilities Khamzat and other also train in --- must have come down HARD on them: MMA is a professional sport; and you will behave yourself like professional athletes, or you can take a hike.
      This interview is likely as close to the actual Khamzat as you'd ever get out of an extreme fighting sport like MMA, where you really have to be among the most skilled AND most aggressive (mentally, if not always physically) to get to the top. Here, Khamzat showed both his supreme self-confidence and vulnerability, which is, no matter how good someone is, including himself, all it takes is just one hard kick to the head or a hard punch to the chin, by another elite competitor ---- regardless whether it is by "luck" or by "design" --- & that's pretty much it!

It takes much longer to become proficient on the ground than on the feet and the gap in skill level is way more visible in the cage. Alex can train wrestling for the next 5 years I dont think hes going to be able to stay on his feet vs any of the top guys who have a wrestling base. I genuinely think Khamzat runs through him like he did Holland, its an awful matchup for him.

      😆 lol! Super weird looking... Can you imagine what he'd look like without it lol. Maybe he keeps it for cushion from the strikes to his chin. Or he doesn't have one 🤔

    👏👏In that fight Khamzat was too obsessed with giving Burns a quick KO so he abandoned the gameplan. And Khamzat Will kill Burns more easily if he fight smart acording to the coach's plan
