War Wagon DDP is simply too strong to be overpowered by Khamzat

[wrestlefan]

Let's not forget that Khamzat is actually a natural WW, and DDP is a huge MW. Khamzat just wasn't prepared to make the weight cut in the end.

DDP will simply be able to overpower Khamzat. He likely won't even have to sprawl or really actively defend much to stop him... He'll probably just dig for an under hook and throw him away. It'll be like when Cro cop fought wrestlers, or Tibau Vs Khabib, where the stronger guy was simply able to out power the grappler.

DDP is so strong he doesn't even need traditional wrestling training - he can take you down just by putting you into a headlock and falling to the ground.

The strength disadvantage will also cause Khamzat to gas quicker than usual.

Technique > strength.
Can't wait to find out what will happen. I'm super excited to find out how this one goes down, such a great fight.

for real, TS could have just said he doesn't know how wrestling works

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Khamzat is sure as fuck not a natural WW. 20 years ago dude wouldnt have looked out of place at LHW.

I'm not convinced that DDP is the stronger man either. At least not by enough that he can neutralize Khamzats technically superior wrestling.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Khamzat technique will overcome the strength of DDP imo. But we will see, can't wait!

 

[Harlekin]

Khamzat is 6'2 and massive
DDP is 6'0 and massive

TS doesn't know that Dricus had several welterweight bouts and titles.
And Khamzat failed to make welterweight years ago, massively.

Wasteland this shit

The thing with Kamzat's TDs is that everybody knows they are coming, but somehow nobody can stop them.

As soon as somebody denies his first TD — which could very well be DDP — the aura around the TD will be gone. It will still be a threat, but psychology is a whore, and once people understand that you can actually deny him from taking you down and it really works in practice, they will start doing it more often. It's a mix of the opponent's self-confidence and also Kamzat's own self-confidence.

 

[Alpha_T83]

We shall see. If DDP can survive round 1 without taking damage, I think he has a very high chance to win.

Core strength/balance, grip strength, overall "grappling strength" and explosive strength can't really be judged just from looking at who is more ripped or weighs more.

If that was the case, wrestling champions would all just be strongmen/power lifters.

Sharp technique also makes someone feel a lot stronger.

Speed and agility are also contributing factors.

 

[Human Bass]

Chimaev is not really a WW anymore. He is certainly bigger than Whittaker.

Wasteland this shit

Dricus is 6'1" officially and fights at 215 - 220 lbs fight night. Not 6'0". Whittaker is around 5'11" - 6' and 190 - 195 lbs fight night. Dricus is much bigger than that. He did not look small even next to 260 lbs 6'5" Aspinall. Don't downgrade him to exaggerate the difference. He was barefoot taller than 6'1" Sean Strickland. Wait till you see them face to face. Their height difference is going to be negligible when they come face to face.

I don't know who is going to win, but people acting like Dricus has no technique to go with his freakish strength. It is actually Khamzat who relies on brute strength to outmuscle and outpower his opponents, which results in a big adrenaline dump in round 1. Not Dricus. He neutralized every opponent's grappling so far. The guy has been wrestling all his life and was doing Judo at age 4. He was already a blackbelt at age 14 and did no-gi wrestling until he switched to K-1 Kickboxing in his late teens.




Both of them relative to Whittaker



Also, Dricus barefoot is next to 6'2" 230 - 240 lbs former heavyweight Goddard

DDP has been on a tear. He may be too much for Khamzat. I think Dricus will win but he has to escape the first round

But i dont know that he's stronger than Khamzat. One things for sure Khamzat is undefeated Gilbert and Usman gave him hell. But in his last fight he washed out Whitaker. And think of the other people he squashed and how he did it

This is a very hard fight to predict. Its just that Khamzat usually finishes in the first. He is most dangerous then

 

[Bork Neslar]

Let's hope DDP smashes rat lip's face.

Why are you sucking him off so much?

Ikram already denied his takedowns. So much for that theory.

I can swim just as good as fish. For about 2 minutes. Then I drown in deep waters.

Think about it Sherbro

 

[RockyLockridge]

DDP's chances start at 50% and go up 12.5% for every round that passes.

It'll be like Tibau Vs Khabib, where the stronger guy was simply able to out power the grappler.

lol @ "natural WW."

Dude has missed the WW limit by as much as 8.5 lbs. He is not a natural WW.

He may have been at one point, but age and growth tend to "naturally" change ones size.
