Khamzat will be forced to stand at some point

[Kvolcom]

Even Khabib has missed takedowns. GSP was forced to stand.

Its way harder to get a takedown than it is to stop a takedown.

Who is the guy that will force Khamzat to stand?

No one stops him from mauling them.

And even if they do, he'll KO them standing worse case scenario.

 

[Reign009]

He got hands too.

I get that it's not the greatest opponent, but this was literally the first punch that Khamzat threw in the fight.

 

[Azazyah]

don't think he minds the stand-up

 

[Vincentsky]

Obvious answer is Usman has the best chance since he's never been taken down

 

[electricfuneral]

he might have really good striking too

 

[Iron Nick]

He got 'em laser accurate hands too, brah!

Didn't Colby get one?

 

[Sticko]

Didn't Colby get one?

According to DC and Din Thomas, yes.
Officially, no.

Fake takedown

]The answer to this question determines who will hold the belt.

 

[BigTruck]

Fake takedown

Sounds about right

Colby had him on his hands and knees.

Khamzat will break the record for takedowns against Usman.

 

[Goatenstein]

Khamzat's accomplishments are hard to take seriously when he doesn't have a name like CM Punk on his resume.

 

[eddi]

his standup is great + he's got ridiculous knockout power, so far he seems unreal and a complete fighter, not sure about his cardio though

 

[asdf122345]

He hits hard. Something Khabib didn't have. This is why he called Khabib 2.0. Imagine a bigger and badder Khabib with scary striking on top of his scary grappling. The hype train is for real.

yeah the knockout power seems too much, we've got great strikers like zabit but he doesnt hit hard with khamzat its too ridiculous wtf was that punch against meerkat

 

[Safton]

I'm not even on the hype train and I know that this has already happened in BRAVE.

...It didn't end well for his plucky opponent.

 

[The Fat Mexican]

His striking doesn't need to be elite as long as he knows how to protect himself and has a decent chin (something I have no doubt he has)... the fear of the takedown will be a problem for every single striker he will ever fight.
