Khamzat Chimaev is MMA's best round 1 fighter

It's time to face facts, there may have never been a better round 1 fighter than Khamzat Chimaev.

I won’t try to rewrite history, going in to UFC 308. I was picking Robert Whittaker. Not because I didn’t think Khamzat could win—honestly I’m not at all surprised that Chimaev dusted him the way he did. Instead, because I wasn’t entirely convinced by the Chechen-born fighter’s recent performances against other top-level pros.

Bouts against Gilbert Burns…
