DDP v Khamzat ; Let's go

[lerobshow]

MMA is and ALWAYS has been about what have you given to me recently. Well, Khamzat made a hell of a statement against Rob. I think regardless of who you were going for, you wasn't expecting Rob to just get his jaw dislocated like that.

That fire will die down in a month or two like it always does but guys, I'm a neutral guy in general (Montreal born-bred, Living in Thailand since 2010) but man I feel like people are starting to do the same mistake that we ALL have done already which is to overlook DDP.

I have no idea who win this fight. DDP is obviously a very messy striker (I still have no clue what he's doing despite trained 10 years in Muay Thai). DDP is a very weird, unorthodox and tough puzzle to figure out. Can Khamzat really just go out there and sumbit him?

Both of them are training in Thailand often and I know that for a fact. I also know that DDP is a very large guy (not tall, not the biggest monster in the room, but obviously very tough).

I want you guys opinion. I personally rooted against DDP for the Rob fight. I also picked him against Strickland and then I learned my lesson I guess and picked him against Izzy lol.

Sorry I'm kinda high and don't want to talk too much but I guess my question is -- Is DDP really a push over for Khamzat? Or, are we again victim of the ''what have you done for me lately'' factor.

DDP already called for the fight in February. Hopefully it happens. Best fight to make at MW right now. I would favour Khamzat, but would not bet on it.

If the UFC doesn't do this next they are beyond saving.

It would be a reprehensibly bad matchmaking to not have khamzat go next if possible

 

[Chayanne]

I'm putting my money on DDP.

Meh. DDP earned his shot. Kumshot fights every other year, so if he fights and wins again within a year, then yes. He deserves it. But if beats an elite every 1.5 years. . . I can only imagine how slow he'll be in defending the belt. No thanks. Show/prove that you can show up regularly (like recent GOAT champs like Poatan or Izzy).

I understand this point of view and won't argue against it.

I've doubted the Donkey Kong strength of DDP for too long. That being said since I'd like him to win he won't. Ya'll can thank me.

18 months to deliver a Kumshot

I guess he needs to rest in between

That's a hell of a refractory period, right?

 

[blunttruth]

DDP is fighting Strickland next, get over it. Kahzmat should be fighting Fluffy, Pyfer, or Nickel next.

Im 46 gonna be 47 and even I don't have to cook that long in between cumshots lol.

 

[TerraRayzing]

Might be my most anticipated fight right now.
DDP is the one guy I think khamzat can't overwhelm as he is physically strong and a competent grappler. If he does then oh boy, give him a title shit at 205 right after.
That said I'm betting on Dricus. Dude is just as berserk as Khamzat and I think he manages to hold off the first round storm and takes over in the later rounds.

 

[MMAFanCal]

I don't care about Strickland and his boring jabbing his opponent to a 5 round decision strategy. Dricus is asking for Khamzat in February despite being the champion so that is the fight Dana need to make as it will sell like crazy.

Khamzat should take up another fight quickly instead of sitting out to prove he can fight regularly before he fights for the title

Khamzat is yet to main event a card, it be great if did, maybe against some like Caio or Izzy or someone else

If he's not next for the title I'd prefer him to take a fight, too. He said he'd like Adesanya, but I honestly can't see Adesanya taking that fight if it's not for the belt.

Caio is an interesting fight for Khamzat but I think Caio wins that tbh sir.

 

[coolfight3r]

Both in their prime wil be a banger. Whittaker is getting old and has been through a ton of wars. Khamzat and DDP haven’t taken much damage. Will be a war.

 

[HHJ]

I think it will def happen. UFC doesnt even like Strickland, and they would gladly toss him out of the way in favor of Khamzat the Mighty.

Waste of time, make the DDP fight now.

Honestly I want to see Khamzat fight more consistently first. They should have done Izzy or strickland vs Khamzat next. I just don't trust this guy to consistently fight and I don't want him with the belt if that's what he's going to do.
