Can DDP stop Khamzat's early TDs?

I'm gonna say no

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.

I’m dead…
But on a real note, this guy is usually on point with his analysis. But like a lot of MMA fans, I think he let his bias for what DDP stands for and his like for him as a person cloud his perception of the reality that DDP has zero skills. Skills pay the bills.

Everything I wrote is objective reality, not opinion.

If you're surprised that Khamzat was able to pull off a 5 round stinker of lay & pray, well yes most people are, people like myself who wrote in this thread he's got a good chance of stopping Dricus with a submission.

I didn't pick Dricus to win, said it was a 50/50 pick-em and Khamzat was likely to get a first round submission. That is verbatim from me in the thread you are reading this in. Do you realize how hilarious that is because 1) its easily verifiable and 2) you admit my analysis is good.

Use your head, I didn't pick Dricus and everything I corrected about others posting misinformation ("Dricus barely beat Bruson") isn't my opinion, its linear reality as it happened.


Nobody had Khamzat via lay n pray 5 round decision, certainly not you.

I don’t think you ever outright said what you really thought was going to happen. And yeah, I do remember that being your official pick that you put out there. Reason I say this is because…
1) you came at anyone who said otherwise, and 2) spent a great number of your posts criticizing Khamzat’s wins and cardio. Like saying that Dricus would destroy Burns on the ground, which is literal crazy talk considering what Burns has done in grappling.

Really uncharacteristic behavior.
I don’t have anything against you though. It is what it is. If you like the guy, it’s none of my business.

And I didn’t say that it was impossible for Dricus to win. But my take was that it was going to have to be Dricus catching him with something big or fluke-ish.

Everyone has this opinion, which makes me think it will end up being Khamzat by decision or Dricus by early stoppage.

This might have been a couple of days before the fight. I’ve always maintained that Dricus had horrible technique and it would take any decent specialist to expose it.

Just use the search feature instead of making shit up like a bozo. You're in here straight up lying:

I'm not even picking Dricus, I think its a coin flip and Khamzat has a great opportunity to win early.

IMO its a coin flip. Wouldn't be surprised if Khamzat pulls off an early submission,

One of the more fun and intriguing fights of the year.

He's a freaky good submission grappler and athlete, particularly in the first round.

This is MMA, anything can happen, Khamzat hits hard and surely can KO anyone, but its not his biggest threat.
