Media “Dricus can’t game plan for Khamzat, he’s never felt that before” ~ Bo Nickal

[Takes Two To Tango]

I love Khamzat a lot and I think he'll be champion. But I won't discredit or underestimate Dricus he's tough as a bull, he doesn't give up and he's relentless. You can't count him out.

So I have no idea how this fight will turn out, there so many different scenarios.

But Khamzat FTW.

Bo actually saying something correct and unbiased this time. Def agree. Those saying Khamzat has a weakness.. when in the UFC has anyone beat him by his "weakness"? Similar to those saying someone will beat Khabib by making him grind it out.. yet, nobody ever did, even in winning a round against him. Yes, Khamzat can be beat, DDP, his skill set, his fight iq and his team, aren't the answer though.

Using your logic you can say Khazmat can't beat DDP because DDP has a weakness that no one has beaten. DDP hasn't lost his entire tenure in the UFC.

He's talking about game planning for Khamzat particular pressure, not Khamzat overall. He's known to be a glass canon and if you can drag the fight out, he slows down. Sounds like Bo thinks Khamzat gets him out quick.

"He's known to be a glass cannon"

How many undefeated glass cannons are you aware of Bro ?

I'm favoring DDP here, but not because Khamzat is a glass cannon.

Well, only one of them have been finished in their career. Dricus has been finished twice in the later rounds in his pro career.

I don't get how people come to the conclusion Khamzat is doomed past round 2, when he's never lost a fight. Wishful thinking.

Khamzat needs to sign the fight contract and make it to the cage for this fight to happen. I'm not holding my breath.

Like DDP is some push-over LoL

Dudes a gorilla inside the cage and will likely wear-out the Borz

What does Bo Pickle know about any of this?

I agree. I don't think Khamzat is as easy as wait out first round and get an easy decision. DDP relies on his funky offense and keeping pressure, would be interesting how he reacts to not being the hammer.

I wouldn't say "easy" no but Khamzat is only going to be ultra dangerous for the first 10 minutes, he's inefficient with his energy and will get drastically less dominant if the fight goes into the championship rounds.

Well we'll have to see. DDP doesn't have an amazing gas tank, but just can tough it out later in rounds. If someone is grappling you hard, you have to exert to resist just as much. It's not just a 1 way gas tank. I think Khamzat could easily do what he did with Whittaker without the submission for 5 rounds. He doesn't always go for the kill and have to every time, I would expect a title fight he takes it slower. DDP doesn't just give up the fight either and sit there so you're right it won't be easy.

 

[shunyata]

Don't underestimate DDP.

He might jump guard and obliterate a knee, again.

 

[ejazahmednit]

I think its the other way round
Dricus is one of the most erratic fighters probably ever

DDP.

 

[fortheo]

You can also say that Khamzat has never felt anything like DDP before.

*edit*

Bo said he thinks the striking is even between the two guys. WTF???

DDP could go wrestle a wild hippo for camp
