Can DDP stop Khamzat's early TDs?

[mkess101]

You got me a bit on this one, I knew he focused on takedowns vs Adesanya because he had too, but I admit I had no idea he took down Gastropub 4 times. Forgot they even fought honestly. Kudos! Keep up this good work and I might let you shine my shoes one of these days!

But yeah you could also phrase it that he had as many takedowns in the two fights against Adesanya and Gastelum....as he has in his entire career COMBINED. So those two fights had as many takedowns as his other 34 fights put together.

Bitch, you think kudos for putting you in check means anything LMAO? I do it because it's easy and fun, though maybe I should feel a little bad for clowning someone with your lack of intellect.

So yeah Bobby didn't focus on wrestling until...when again? Oh yeah, the fights IMMEDIATELY prior to his fight with DDP. So when he actually started mixing that into his game, he had no issues getting them.

Do you enjoy getting slapped around like this? You like being humiliated?

Would be pretty embarrasing for Khamzat to just do what he does.

The greats, such as Jones, aim to test themselves against their opponents strengths. So let's say Khamzat takes DDP down and submits him easily. That would be a loss for Khamzat, imo.

Lmao no it fuckin wouldn't.

 

[HHJ]

Fuck no.

That's not even a question for this fight. He'll get him down.

But can he keep him there? Or will Dricus keep getting up and Khamzat has to take him down over and over again which will drain Chimmy?

Or maybe he keeps him there but can't finish him? And next round he can maybe take him down once or twice but not keep him there and after that it's not going to get easier..

Yea that's the key. Barring a miracle khamzat is absolutely gonna get him down. Can he survive the early onslaught is the real question

Don't sit here and pretend like my kudos wasn't the highlight of your year.

But anyway the topic was about DDP stopping the takedown. We're talking about a guy that was on bottom against elite grappler Till on two different occasions within a single round.

You kid but a long time many Sherdoggers unironically did that for Aldo vs Mendes, implying that if he didn't grab the fence, Aldo would've exploded on impact, ending the fight immediately.

The only thing I expect from you is more idiocy to make fun of. And I know you won't disappoint.

And I'm not gonna talk about Khamzat/DDP with you because I already have 2 parlays closing with Khamzat plus a straight play on him and I don't want your bad mojo fucking up my bets LMAO.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

You disagree? DDP is strong as fuck and Chimaev is going to be exhausted past round one. I think there’s a fairly high chance that DDP gets him down at some point in the fight. He’s said he’s going to try, and it makes sense strategy wise to tire Chimaev out even more.

Khamat has never been taken down and DDP is not a good wrestler. Yes I massively disagree and would be shocked to see DDP complete a takedown in this fight

If DDP doesn't grapple with Khamzat from the opening bell, they should stop the bout and award Khamzat the title.

 

[don't ask]

He did.He could have easily taken him down from the get go, but he chose to stand with him. And when he figured: "Ok, this guy has nothing for me standing (wich Gane didn't if you've watched the fight), Jones toook him down, thinking: "Allright, let's see what this guy has got for me on the ground, since he wasn't a challenge standing".

If Jones isn't paying posters here then the mental health crisis is even worse than I thought.

 

[StewDogg11]

I know you're a generally terrible shit-poster but this is especially hilarious.

Dricus hip tossed Whittaker to the mat in the first round then beat the absolute SHIT out of him with ground & pound. He handled Whittaker like it was his little cousin. He then KO's him in the second.

You also mentioned Bruson as though surviving bad ground positions with a ground specialist veteran, and get out and KO them is a knock on his abilities.

Stay retarded fam. You special to us.

Does no one remember Brunson manhandling Yoel Romero for 2 rounds lol?

 

[AndrewGolota48]

No I remember Yoel getting taken down and then getting up when he felt like it, a far cry from DDP being stuck and helpless under Brunson. Plus Khamzat is in a whole different universe from Brunson or Yoel or just about anyone other than a young Jon Jones.

Per UFC stats, DDP's TD defense is 50%, so not great. And that is against not really any high level wrestlers during his UFC career. As with most Khamzat fights I think this comes down to whether or not he can survive the 1st round. If so then I think he has a good chance of winning. But that's a big if. Only 2 guys have been able to survive that early onslaught, which was Burns and Usman. For some reason Khamzat was afraid of Burns jiu-jitsu and kept the fight standing. Usman was a short notice WW with world class wrestling and great cardio.

Khamzat has never been past 3 rounds, so it would be interesting to see what happens if he gets into the deep water. DDP has and weirdly good cardio. Looks like he's tired but then has a 5th gear late in fights. Khamzat has typically had very poor cardio. Could see this ending early or going to a decision. One of the most anticipated fights for me in a long time.

"Never takes anyone down".

Bobby had 9 TD's combined in the 3 fights prior to his fight with DDP.

Dude, I can't even tolerate your stupidity in threads about fights where I agree with you who will win.

It's funny, when you see a poster you think has generally bad takes and they're making the same predictions as you, then you start doubting your own pick because of how often wrong they are.

Well that's some insane logic.

40 year old Brunson in his last ever UFC fight isn't even close to the submission threat Khamzat is, and there's no way Khamzat gasses that hard so early like Brunson did.

- Brunson was 39, but feel free to round up
- He won 5 of his last 6
- He won his next fight in the PFL

DRICUS KNOCKED HIM OUT IN 2 ROUNDS.


What are we even talking about here? Dricus would M U R D E R Burns and losing streak Usman. Murder... call the cops, go to jail murder.

The standards for judging this stuff is bizarre. I'm a big fan of Khamzat and can't wait to watch him fight but there is a reality distortion field around him with some of you bozos.

 

[rjmbrd]

Or that he won 5 of 6 before fighting Dricus, and that he's a grappling-fighter by trade... setting aside they had fun and competitive exchange on the ground, and Dricus knocks him out literally in the 2nd round lmao

People are weird about giving Dricus flowers. Its just a thing that has persisted no matter how much he accomplishes.

40 year old Brunson at the end of his career had him trouble before he completely gassed.

Bozo, I'm sure a lot of people would favor a 2022 Burns to beat DDP at 170lbs, and I'm positive Dricus wouldn't do so well against Usman with a severe injury for 2/3 of the fight.

Also stop trying so hard. Nobody cares if you're "a big fan of Khamzat", so there's no need to clarify that.

 

[richardjohnson]

I really doubt it. I think Dricus’ weird style will make getting him down rather easy to be honest, at times he is just real sloppy and uncoordinated. It’s more about how well he defends when he gets taken down. I also don’t think Khamzat is at as much of a disadvantage on the feet as some make it seem though. He’s not known for it but Khamzat has decent hands and carries some power with them.

Like so many others have said this fight will most likely come to down to whether Khamzat can get him out of there quick or not. Dricus has proven he can go five hard rounds but there are still questions around Khamzat’s durability and stamina when he faces some resistance.
