Media DDP's team has told the UFC they want Chimaev in February

[Speedy1]

Sean bout to cry in the corner

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Dricus is impressed by Chimaev and wants every title defense to be as big as possible. There's a lot of money to make here:




LOL, I wonder what Sean's response is gonna be

Book it Dana!

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Props to DDP for wanting the fight. But this is a bad matchup for him and he might regret this decision.

Hope we see it as soon as January

 

[Morning Star]

DDP is a G for calling out the tougher fight. Could be an absolute war if it gets past the 1st couple.

 

[FreedomCricket]

I like Sean and want to see him get a title shot, but I'm also fine with Khamzat/DDP. Just wish we didn't have to wait until FEBRUARY.

Get this shit done end of December.

 

[michi972]

Why would he not be ready for February?

It's almost november now. It's like 3 months from now. 2-3 months camp probably, aby even short suspenssion and Khamzat being inconsistent

He didn't take any damage and seemed healthy leading up to this fight, after focusing more on recovery. Just schedule it and let someone be ready as a back up just in case.

 

[Meathead Jock]

3.5 month wait for Khamzat after taking zero damage is more than enough time. 2 weeks before Ramadan as well, if he waits any longer than Ramadan just makes booking in March/April difficult and he is out for a long time considering he needs to be more active.

Make this happen Dana!

 

[CrimsonFan]

It's the smart move for DDP. Beating Khamzat will make him a star.


On paper I mean he should be able to hang with him. He's got the size, power, wrestling. It's gonna be a huge task for Khamzat.


Having said that...


Chimaev via TKO round 1 is my pick.

 

[MarioLemieux]

If DDP can survive the opening blitz he has a chance. He's a pretty strong grappler himself.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Strickland should be offered money to sit happily. Chimaev vs Ddp needs to happen.

 

[ElLunico]

It's almost november now. It's like 3 months from now. 2-3 months camp probably, aby even short suspenssion and Khamzat being inconsistent

That's 4 months lol. That's still far away lol. Izzy averaged 3 fights a year as a champion. Aljo got a 2 month turn around after going 5 rounds.

Pereira just fought 6 times in a year it felt like. What are you worried about Khamzat? Lol

 

[Fedorgasm]

Damn!

First Poatan becomes the most active champ ever and now DDP straight up calling for the more dangerous matchup?

These guys are making UFC great again! MUGA!

 

[CJrider]

Smart call out because it shows he's interested, wants the bigger fight, and finally puts Khamzat in a position to say he can or can not fight outside of the middle east.

If Khamzat is locked down on a terror list, then Sean takes the shot.

 

[Dionysian]

Big respect for DDP, he's the fucking man. No ducking or bullshit.

Bring on the only title fight anyone gives a shit about baby. Khamzat vs DDP ASAP.

 

[Psychojoe86]

This is a tricky one. That would give Khamzat about 4 months to prepare, and he usually takes longer camps than that. A March bout would potentially get pushed back to Ramadan so that is rough as well.

DDP is playing his cards well, and taking the callout right to Khamzat is a bold play. Hopefully Strickland gets passed up, because that bout could result in an extended trilogy if Sean wins

 

[Natural Order]

DDP vs Chimaev just became the fight to make in MMA.

Get it done you bald bozo.

Fuck Strickland. You need to do more for another shot than an SD over a guy who is 1-4 in the last five years.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

If they're gonna do Sean dirty -- then put some CA$H in his pocket.

They'll slide him a lil movie roll or something to keep him happy and busy lol

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Awesome, I hope it happens next.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

starts late march ends late april

Early march, anyway, it won't be a problem, if the fight is during february.
