Media Bragging Rights: Du Plessis vs Chimaev - Who wins and how?

[Lawrence]

We see Khamzat on his back in the middle of round 2

Khamzat taps in ten 3rd

He doesn’t get slept…. He fucking surrenders.

War DDP !!!!!

 

[melans]

I'm gonna go with a close split or unanimous decision that pisses everyone off.

 

[cold_spring_harbor]

I've had a hunch that khamzat refuses to answer the 4th rd bell for a couple weeks now.
I just envision him with his head down refusing to get off the stool

 

[PurpleDrank]

I have a weird suspician Khamzat tags and hurts DDP on the feet.

 

[JustBleed69]

Dricus by accident

 

[Paladin]

I will say Khamzat is a glass canon. He will be exposed tomorrow.

 

[Bradillac]

I'm gonna go with a close split or unanimous decision that pisses everyone off.

If DDP wins by a relatively close decision, there’s going to be never ending posts about how Chimaev was robbed because he wasn’t given rounds where he got brutalized on the feet, but managed to get DDP down and hold on for his life.

 

[Slapjit]

DDP by decision only in my mind and in my heart yaar What a war MMA Dangal of the Year / Decade haanji Waheguru bless these warrior with just bang aura

 

[Mammothman]

Khamzat by donination and sub in the 3rd or 2nd round.

 

[Cameron]

Hot take but i have a draw in that order:
Chimaev 10-8, 10-9
Du Plessis 10-9, 10-9 and 10-9

That’s the most likely scenario I see

 

[Ghis2]

Khamzat will win because I don't want him to win. That's just how it is.

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

DDP by taking him down and submitting him in the first couple of minutes. I'm talking overwhelming grappling force, here. A mauling.

If Khamzat can't dominate/finish Usman, he's not beating DDP. I think it'll take DDP two rounds for a sub.

 

[Bobby Kotick]

Chimmy via tko ofc

 

[Jackonfire]

DDP via uppercut very similar to Lewis vs Blaydes

DDP tko R5 via Khamzat being gassed.

but I think a Khamzat win will crash the Sherdog server so that would be funny asf and well worth the L on on my Tap card. lol

[fortheo]

I have a weird suspician Khamzat tags and hurts DDP on the feet.

It's real possibility. The fight is so hard to predict

 

[Crawdad]

I'll take "The S is Silent" by...Decision? Right now I have it by TKO Rd 4, but Decision is more likely than a finish.

 

[MMAFanCal]

Dricus via round 3 or round 4 KO/TKO

Can Khamzat give Dricus the Whittaker treatment? Maybe, but Dricus is way tougher and now it is proven beyond any reasonable doubt. way bigger, stronger, powerful and taller than any of Khamzat's previous opponent. Khamzat tried to shove Dricus hard with one hand, but Dricus did not even flinch. He is going to look BIG tonight when he is properly filled out so my prediction is, he will fight to the death to prevent getting submitted like his life depends on it.

I had another one that I have thought hard about, that is a possibility. Dricus has a nasty guillotine that he has slept a lot of guys using such as, Bahati who was trying to bumrush Dricus went for his legs very deep and Dricus got a guillotine with both of his arms locked together on him and slept him. Once it is in, there is nothing his opponent can do. In one of those bumrushes by Khamzat, Dricus can catch Khamzat in that nasty guillotine and sleep Khamzat, but it is much less likely.

I left the sh*tshow as it became a total waste of time despite me explaining how the science of optics and camera angles work, but this is the guy many Khamzat blowhards were claiming was a manlet and no more than 5'10" LOL
