Who wins and how?

Khamzat by ko or tko. He has an iron chin and probably the better grappling. Dricus has been stopped before by strikes, and when the fight turns into a sloppy brawl he might get chinned.

That being said, I really hope dricus pulls it off, as khamzat fights like once every leap year. Would suck to have the division being held up by inactivity.
This is exactly what I was thinking in my choice in the pool reflects this. This is where my money would be if I was a betting man , but I'm not in this one . Rooting for Dricus to win!
 
If khamzat doesnt win in the 1st round he ddp is going to give him a worse beating than the one he gave sean strickland in their 2nd fight
 
Going with Khamzat via gnp.

Honestly can't see DDP surviving the first two rounds of wrestling.

I like the guy, but the only thing stopping Khamzat is the weight cut/illness at this stage of his career.

Still predicting retard windmill punch to end the fight. Not predicting who.
 
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.
I couldn’t care less, but this silly reply reminded me to give Vendetta’s “Brain damage” and Destruction’s “Cracked brain” a listen.

Watch Derek Brunson vs DDP fight sir.

DDP was gasping for air after 2 minutes of being controlled. He uses so much energy and makes so many mistakes it's quite shocking actually.

Khamzat will ride DDP.

DDP will not be able to breath, his arms will be completely exhausted from carrying khamzat and hand fighting for his life , his breathing will be constantly disrupted as his face is getting hammerfisted .

If DDP lunges at Khamzat with his amateur punching style, he is basically giving away openings for takedowns.

Khamzat by sub Rd3. Take that to the bank sir.

A sub is most likely, but i want to see a KO by Khamzat, we need a KO this time.
 
I'm thinking Chimaev by submission, 2nd round maybe. Rooting hard for Stillknocks though.

This fight is where I came to a halt on Khamzat's hype train.
 
People keep saying DDP will tire out but DDP looks tired in quite a few of his fights. He looked tired and got hit by Adesanya if I remember correctly and still won. He looked tired in both Strickland fights and still won. DDP is the one guy who can look gassed and still be dangerous.

I have doubted DDP so many times but not this time. I think DDP wins just not sure how. I've never been impressed with Khamzat once it goes past 2 rounds and I suspect (like others) if it gets to the championship rounds DDP will grind it out and beat him.
 
I think Dricus might be my favorite current fighter. Having said that I don’t think he gets out of the first round. And if he does, I think people might be dramatizing how tired Khamzat will get. I’m not saying his cardio is great, but people act like it’ll be Homer Simpson like where Dricus can just push him over after round one.

I think the highest likelihood is a Khamzat sub finish in round one. But fuck it, I’m gonna get bold and say Dricus focuses too much on the takedown and gets caught standing and ground and pounded out. Khamzat, round 1 tko.

Having said that, please for the love of god Dricus, win this.
