Khamzat Chimaev’s coach reveals the weakest point in his skillset

Khamzat Chimaev’s coach, Andreas Michael, has broken down his performance against Gilbert Burns.

While Chimaev was having success through the first round, even dropping Burns with a jab, he proceeded to engage in a close-range strike exchange in the second. The shorter 'Durinho', who gave up a significant reach advantage to 'Borz', capitalized on this, stunning him and almost finishing the fight.

This was WAR 💥

In round three, the Chechen fighter re-established his control by utilizing his jab, which led to a decision win. Speaking to ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto, Chimaev’s coach said that ‘Borz’ threw their game plan out the window. Insinuating that Chimaev's weakness was a lack of patience and refusal to adhere to his instructions, Andreas Michael stated:

“He threw the game plan out because he promised everyone that he was going to knock him out. Backstage, he told me that, ‘Oh, my God! It’s embarrassing. I promised that I was gonna knock him out.’ That was his only concern. So, he could have done a clinic.”

Michael emphasized that Chimaev should’ve kept on utilizing his jab, picked his shots, been more patient, and been more receptive to the instructions given from his corner. He said:

“From going like, hundred percent hitting Gilbert left, right, and center, he just jabbed him and dropped him in the third. If he had the patience, he would have done the job in an easier manner because no way he lost the fight.”
