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

[Senzo Tanaka]

This will be the first time Khamzat is fighting someone that's an actual big, strong Middleweight. If he passes this test, he's going to be hard to beat. Something just tells me DDP gets it done. Especially after his comments about wanting to wrestle with him.

 

[BowserJr]

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.

The strength matchup is the most intriguing part to me.

Cant wait!

 

[Rosencrantz]

I'm rooting for DDP but people on her are forgetting Khamzat has striking too.

People keep talking about surviving the takedown as if that was his only problem, but i think there's a very real possibility Dricus gets knocked out cold in the first round of this fight. DDP isn't exactly known for his clean striking and defense, and Khamzat has crazy good timing and one punch KO power when he is fresh.

 

[Rosencrantz]

So khazmat beat another big strong guy in usman in first round then hold him at bay for next two rounds with broken wrist and what will ddp do that khazmat did not see already

He is bigger and has heavier hands than Usman. Like it or not, that makes a hell of a difference in fighting.

Myth? Lol, you've never trained in your life. Go to a gym, and have your beta ass humbled by a 120 female blue belt. Try to not get an erection while she's humbling you.

Lol you’re stuck in the 90’s dummy. Any legit grappler will tell you that size and strength absolutely matter. Now get fucked dipshit.

Michelle Waterson outgrapples any strongman or NFL lineman out there because she has a higher belt level. Heck she would outgrapple even a prime Karelin because he only had wrestling but zero BJJ.

My god the idiocy in this comment. I’m gonna ignore everything else and focus on you saying Michelle waterson would “outgrapple” Karelin…

But first. I never said a trained grappler with an excellent technique couldn’t beat an untrained opponent. What I’m calling 90s logic is Dricus is not some bum who doesn’t know anything…Khamzat has superior grappling and technique…but strength absolutely matters. If strength didn’t matter, that would mean a 90 pound blue belt woman could beat ANY untrained grappler. There are other factors at play: athletcism, age, cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance. Any BJJ black belt worth his salt is going to tell you the same… Strength matters and “untrained” doesn’t mean fucking helpless.

If my sarcasm meter is on the fritz and you were just joking here… My apologies. I’m just surprised that no one else has chimed in to call out this stupid fucking myth.

Now back to Michelle Waterson. Karelin could literally bear hug her and just keep her there. Or he could Souplex her and hold her on the ground. He could lay on her and drain her gas tank until she’s dead… He could submit it without actually having to submit her. Also… He could actually submit her. If strength didn’t matter there wouldn’t be any weight classes.

Of course they matter, when both competitors are both skilled.

You aren't, you're a pussy.

You’re the one who implied that strength wouldn’t matter…that Dricus’ physicality would be neutralized by Khamzat’s technique alone. Now you’re backpedaling and pretending like you always said both matter. Which is it?

Anyone who actually trains knows brute strength can get you out of bad spots, delay submissions, gas your opponent, and change the tempo of a fight. That’s why fighters lift. That’s why weight classes exist.

Stop talking in circles. Either strength matters or it doesn’t. You tried to act like it didn’t, and now you’re trying to save face with nonsense.

And goal post shit is even dumber than your original comment. “Of course (strength) matters when both opponents are skilled.”

So just for shits and giggles Sherlock…you’re telling me when it’s one trained and one untrained fighter…strength means nothing? Or two untrained fighters for that matter? Make that bit of dumbfuckery make sense.

Your stupid logic has been exposed so just STFU. Using the old Gracie sales pitch.

Not reading that story beta nerd. Cheap her short, like your pecker.

Technique does beat strength though and technique/skills are the most important facet of fighting. Once we have a general baseline of skill, which we certainly have in modern professional MMA, that's when physicality and athleticism really become crucial, but technique still reigns supreme in determining a given fighter's ceiling. Strength still matters, but it's a secondary consideration in comparison.

In the case of DDP and Chimaev, I don't know that there's a significant delta in terms of strength between the two, but I do know Khamzat is the superior grappler. DDP is a very good defensive grappler and the superior striker who retains his power deep into a fight. Of course, Khamzat can crack too.

This fight is insane and I can't wait to see it go down!

 

[Jose Beehive]

Mad fight! both dudes are unreasonably strong and appear to have iron bones, I feel i'd lose to these guys even if they just stood there blocking for 3 rounds, Imagine going shin to shin with DDP or just like being pushed back by Khamzat, fuck that! never mind getting bombed or squeezed .

 

[DreyDay]

First time in a while where I am actually super excited for a UFC Main event. Unfortunately the card sucks balls

 

[ILove4MinutesHyuna]

Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world. Khamzat needs to find that lever.

 

[don't ask]

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

Think about it Sherbro

I can fuck just as good as a porn star. For about two thrusts. Then I get leg cramps and my asthma kicks in.

I think it’s stacked with good fights,
But not necessarily big names, surprised how few seem to know who Pico is..
I ain’t paying though.

You know..... they said the same thing about Whittaker.

 

[wwkirk]

You speak the tooth

Yuck! But also, is the "War Wagon" tag recent? I hadn't noticed it before.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

You know..... they said the same thing about Whittaker.

They said Whittaker was a big MW who is likely stronger than Khazmat? I don't think so.

 

[Adamant]

They said Whittaker was a big MW who is likely stronger than Khazmat? I don't think so.

They said Khamzat wouldn't be able to take him down or sub him, and wouldn't be able to handle Bobby's knuckles. Then look what happened. It feels like we're going through the same thing all over again with this fight.
