Alright, so check it, today I’m gonna walk you through how I messed around with some Khamzat Chimaev memes. It was a pretty chill weekend project, nothing too serious, just for laughs. Let’s dive in!
First things first, gathering the goods. I hit up Google Images, Reddit (r/KhamzatMMA is a goldmine, seriously), and even some shady meme sites. I was looking for anything and everything related to Khamzat: his iconic quotes (“Smesh everybody, brother!”), his training videos, fight highlights, you name it. The more ridiculous, the better.
Then, I needed a weapon of choice. I’m no Photoshop wizard, so I kept it simple. I used Meme Generator – it’s a free online tool, super easy to use. If you’re feeling fancy, you could use GIMP (it’s free and open-source) or even MS Paint if you’re feeling really old school.
Next up: the actual meme-ing. I took those images I downloaded and started adding captions. I tried a bunch of different stuff:
- Overly Attached Girlfriend style memes about Khamzat always wanting to fight.
- Drake Hotline Bling memes about him preferring wrestling over striking.
- Success Kid memes about him winning a fight in record time.
I played around with different fonts, colors, and sizes to see what looked best. The key is to keep it simple and relatable, you know?
Here’s an example: I found a picture of Khamzat looking super intense. I put the caption: “Me looking for the guy who said I can’t smesh.” Classic!
The process was mostly trial and error. Some memes were instant hits (at least with my friends), others were total duds. I learned that the best memes are the ones that are relevant to current events or inside jokes within the MMA community. Like, after his fight with Burns, there were tons of memes about his cardio, so I jumped on that bandwagon.
After making a bunch of memes, I wanted to share them. I posted them on my personal social media accounts, sent them to some friends who are also MMA fans, and even threw a couple up on r/KhamzatMMA. Got some laughs, some upvotes, it was all good fun.
What I learned? Making memes is surprisingly addictive! It’s a fun way to be creative and connect with people who share your interests. Plus, it’s a great way to procrastinate when you should be doing something more important. Just kidding… mostly.
Anyway, that’s the whole story. Not exactly rocket science, but it kept me entertained for a few hours. Go give it a try yourself! Smesh some memes, brother!
