Did he ever really stand a chance?

A finish would've been great

I mean if Kham decided to throw the gameplan out the window and strike yeah he could of had a chance.

Gotta say it, Ddp was slightly overrated here on the boards pre fight.

Jack of all trades, excels at none of them, just a cardio crazy horse with the ugliest stand up since jardine

He did a lot for advancing the lgbqt agenda in south africa i guess

 

[Slapjit]

Survival mode DDP he simply perform backflip then skull bash to liver ending with proper sleeper hold haanji #AndStillKnocks

Unfortunately yaar he abandon this mindset leading to schoolyard dominance

 

[chardog]

Hindsight is 20/20, one thing is certain, a rematch is likely three wins and not immediate.

 

[JBJ was here]

DDP didn't stand an anything. Flat on his back or on all fours, he never tried standing on his own.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Absolutely he did, I thought Chimaev may have gassed eventually, he never did though

 

[TriangleMonkey]

No answer to get up from turtle. Maybe after 2 rounds you open up more on your escapes Idk what his plan was

He did NOT want to get submitted and did everything in his power to just survive

Khamzat also respected his prey, knowing he couldn’t give him any space to work, and had to secure the bag of gold


He hovered over DDP waiting for him to open up, which DDP preferred staying a shell with no neck/limb extended for grabbing ahold of

Different cultures, hard to judge

with the ugliest stand up since jardine

DDP is the southpaw Shogun

Sylvia & Jardine's styles were way worse

Dude shogun' form was muuuch more aesthetically pleasing and effective than DDPs. He had proper muay thay form in pride, he aint into no gheyboxin

lol

Shogun's style was much more easier on the eyes I will say that. But when DDP rushes in with strikes his movements do remind me of Shogun a lil bit.

khamzat shoots ina weird way where he's like draggin his knee's on the ground practically sometimes. Could be a grey area for the ref. I dunno. Still worth it, better to get dq'd than to lose the belt by being beat up and held down for 25 minutes

 

[BigOlJeet]

The way Shertards tout about Khamzat being this killer that ends it at the opening bell, all he did was LnP and just showed he’s just another boring wrestler. What Paulo Costa said is true “I illegally streamed and I want a refund” lol

 

[dschinghiskhan1]

No chance. A lot of us said it. People kept bringing up the burns fight for some reason but burns is much more skilled on the ground than DDP. All the size and strength means nothing in grappling if your technique is terrible.

There is no way Khamzat is training to do take downs and is hoping his knee position saves him getting one in the face and/or gives him the DQ if he does get hit in the face but that's genius.

 

[Caio]

Not now, he needs a few years. Maybe move to country with stronger training partners. But he has immense heart and willpower. I think he will improve a lot.
