Go back & watch when Khamzat got DDP in the crucifix the second time. Those elbows were rowdy.Its subjective and I've only watched the fight once in real time (big doubt I'll be watching that snoozer again) but in the grand scheme of 'ground and pound' I would not say those looked nasty. We had so little activity on the ground outside of positional control it was a little bleep of excitement when something actually happened.
ain't nobody going watch them a 2nd time.Go back & watch when Khamzat got DDP in the crucifix the second time. Those elbows were rowdy.
The blame is on both guys. DDP's lack of fundamentals when it pertains to wrestling, and Khamzat's play it safe mode. It contributed to one of the worst title fights in recent memory.The fault is entirely upon DDP, his coaches, and his camp. He needs to get to America and spend six months in a wrestling centric room.
We diverge there. I’m firmly in the do what it takes to win camp even if people don’t like it. Khamzat, and I’m not a fan, did what he felt was correct and took little damage doing so. DDP’s complete ineptitude was solely to blame for me.The blame is on both guys. DDP's lack of fundamentals when it pertains to wrestling, and Khamzat's play it safe mode.

A sleep clinic.Call it what you want, but you can't blame someone using the best tool in their toolbox. Khamzat put on a fckn clinic.
Typical fanboy who has butthurt after his boy got smashedThat's gotta be one of the most boring fights I have ever seen in my life. It really isn't a fight if an opponent just holds waistlock grip and rides the opponent entire fight.
Rules need to be changed. In folkstyle wrestling they ban that waistlock grip on the ground, should be banned in MMA too. that should only be allowed standing up. I want to see scrambles not a man hugging a man for dear life for 25 minutes.
And if you have a waist lock, learn to fucking do something with it.DDP didn’t have basic frames or escapes from bottom. If the problem is the waist lock, learn how to get out of the waist lock.

A clinic in showing people to avoid watching himCall it what you want, but you can't blame someone using the best tool in their toolbox. Khamzat put on a fckn clinic.
A sleep clinic.
Sure. But ppl said the same shit bout GSP yet he's in everyone's GOAT convo.A clinic in showing people to avoid watching him
I can assure you he es trying his hardest to escape/get up/ avoid damage/ all of the above the entire time.The fault lies with the guy who's playing safety from the bottom.
DDP needed to try to escape and try to win the fight but he was just trying to avoid getting smashed and RNC'd.
One boring fight...even volk said what's the point of pleasing people who turn so fastKhamzat lived up to the nick name of "Borzzz" in this hugfest because it was extremely boring
Even the pro Hamas crowd who was on his side in the beginning was booing all that hugging
Khamzat fans who are defending this hugfest better keep up that same energy when other huggers like Gamrot or Mosvar do this
About as bad as a guy having only one boring fight (his most important ever to win) and everyone calling him boringWe already know they won't because human hypocrisy in the 2020s is at an all-time high.
