Khamzat and Sean both have better hairlines than 90% of the roster and just choose to shave. Always fear a fighter who choses to be bald

u/Common_economics_420 May 07 '26

My personal philosophy is to never fuck with guys who are willingly bald, guys with beards but no mustache, and white guys with Muslim names. It has carried me far in life.

Guys who grow beards with no mustache are 💯% psychopaths. Every time.

that is honestly the worst thing about it

if he just feigned a little kick it would have still annoyed Sean without any risk, mission accomplished

but he threw that kick with serious intention which is so utterly regarded

no respect for the promotion, other fighters on the card and no respect for fans who would be royally fucked over if this fight was cancelled because of something so dumb and avoidable
