DDP and mature Khamzat are ridiculously strong, who is stronger?

ddp has natural strength like george foreman

kahmzat has more manufactured explosive stength

that being said, the 1st round they are probably pretty equal in terms of relative 'strength' and this is where ddp will be most vulnerable.

ddp can carry his natural strength for 5 rounds. questions remain on kamzats ability to carry his explosive strength for 5 rounds.

kc really loses steam after about a round and a half and if he blows his wade in the first roound vs ddp ...its going to be a long night for him.
DDP has that weird Brock like body but great cardio even when it might look like he doesn't - he carries his power n punching snap through all rounds .

Khaz is a natural WW that doesn't wsnt to cut so he bulks up. DDP is more a natural LHW thats bulked down . Khaz has gotten jacked a little before this fight n that's imo a mistake as will sap cardio even more.

Unless Khaz finds cardio hez got 1 rd then Dricus likely kos him within 3 as Khaz is very hitable especially after 1st.
 
I think Dricus is naturally stronger, but Khamzat is the better fighter overall and technically more sound.

Dricus also started as a WW, then got too jacked.
 
They're both strong as shit. Anyone from that caucus region is strong. But Khamzat isn't a "true" middle weight while DDP is a huge middleweight and can even go up to LHW. I think at WW Khamzat might be the strongest dude in the weight class. At Mw. Not so much. DDP is strong as shit too. Slight edge to DDP. Self high five!

Look at his fight record. He never started as a WW. He started as a MW. It was only until his 5th fight or something on the regional circuit he fought at WW TWICE. That's it. Fought twice at WW and one time at a catchweight. All on the regionals when he was 21. Every other fight was at MW.

Fair enough, but at least he has had fights at WW (and 176) as well.

They have a similar frame, but Dricus is obviously more muscular.

Most of Khamzat's fights are also at catchweight or MW so he's not really a natural WW either.

It will be interesting to see if Khamzat has bulked up a bit for this fight, or if he comes in the same weight as vs Whittaker.

Yeah but judging by frame alone. DDP is much more a natural MW over kham. Kham is a WW who doesn't want to kill himself to make WW. Which is honorable because we've had weight bullies in the past. (Not mentioning any names)
 
Hooo boy, I know we go through nuthugger fans on annoying fighters but with every generation, but damn the Khamzat posters are fucking ridiculous.

The fact they let this be a thread

Yeah the very rational DDP sack riders that are countering with "Yo dat -180 favorite ratlip has zero chance here!" is definitely more sane and measured. Only one side of this equation is annoying, sure...

Arguing against DDP often times result in an emotional response due to people really, really not wanting "ratlip" to win.

That results in many using a different measuring stick when assessing Khamzat vs assessing Dricus, especially regarding the close fights or lost rounds they've had.

I feel like I/We are mostly stating the obvious.

Both are very good and can win by finish or decision, Khamzat has a clear wrestling/grappling advantage, cardio issues are blown way out of proportion, there's more to fights than just being the bigger/stronger man, odds are pretty reasonable all things considered.

Agree 100%
 
Strength is dependent on how you are measuring it. Gym wise khamzat isn’t strong.

A person who is strong wasJim Miller. He’s a small guy but he was pulling between 4-5 plates. This was over a decade ago so I am assuming he isn’t pulling the same numbers at his current age.
