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

[Bradillac]

I'm calling DDP by 4th round sub over an exhausted Chimaev.

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

I dont see Dricus getting 10-8'd. If its going that bad, he will probably get tapped.

I think Dricus will get a late KO personally assuming he survives the first round but Im sure he's been preparing for the onslaught.

That outcome is very possible as well imo

 

[Daniel Henry]

I like DDP but we haven't seen this kinda domination at 185 since Andersons reign. Khamzat by submission rd 2.

 

[LeBron]

DDP via deep waters

 

[MindGamingMantis]

Khamzat by Sub. Hard to pick a round because it'll depend on what opening DDP gives him

 

[Dogshare]

Chimaev by decision. We get two very active first rounds. After that both fighters are slowing down. Chimaev's takedowns make the difference and he get's the decision.

 

[cshireman4]

Khamzat will finish him, no championship rounds needed...

 

[Rallarsvingare]

Khamzat will take DDP down the first round and use GnP to beat him up. Second round he will do the same but finish him with a choke, RNC if DDP tries to turtle to get back up, Anaconda if he tries to wrestle and grabs Khamzats legs.

 

[NenadRS]

My guess would be Khamzat by some kind of neck submission, round 1.

I do not see DDP defending takedown, and he may expose neck too much to get back up, since he uses a lot of explosive power there. But not sure how their strength compare.

 

[El Fernas]

DDP by late KO/TKO, the two times Chimaev has been in the 3rd round of a fight he seems to be exhausted.

 

[mooseman17]

Not many outcomes in this fight would surprise me.

Anything from the most obvious KC by first round mauling that ends with a sub - a TKO seems less likely.

Or DDP weathering the storm and taking over after 8 mins and KOing KC or subbing an extremely gassed KC after hurting him.

I can also see a hard fought decision win for either fighter where they have their hands on their hips at the final bell.

My pick is DDP third round TKO after surviving the first and gassing KC out.

 

[shunyata]

Khamzat by darce in round 1, or DDP by split decision.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

DDP by late ground and pound TKO, Chimaev gets him down a few times early and cant sub him, gasses and DDP eventually puts him on his back and bashes the shit out of him.

 

[Rosencrantz]

Chimaev either subs him in the first or coasts to a decision trough early dominance.

I think people don't realize the amount of energy that Khamzat will drain out of DDP. Expect him to be even more exhausted than vs Adesanya, making him an extremely easy target to take down. His only shot at winning this is by KO/TKO.

 

[fedoriswar37]

Dricus. RNC rd 3.

 

[Gamer007]

I think Khamzat is gonna make this look easy

 

[Tweak896]

I think Khamzat can even win a decision, wanted to pick the dangerous choice to show people wrong, but I think he's going to be 1000% trained for this and get a sub, I see lots of people trying to hype up his high level BJJ. Still 50/50 between the 2.

 

[JBJ was here]

Chimaev by decision. Yes, I know, I know. The gambler inside my head has a hunch.

The gambler inside your head is hopefully not allowed anywhere near your cash or credit cards. The prop odds on Chimaev by decision are in the +500-+525 range right now, and you'd have to be brain damaged to make that bet. You'll get odds 10 times as good on a draw, which is definitely more than 10% as likely, so if you must give in to your damaged brain at least make that bet instead.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

need to see teh weigh in first. imho

 

[TheCryingElite]

I’ve been saying it and now I’ll officially say Chimaev by round 2 KO/TKO. People are sleeping on his striking.
