Did the beard save Khamzat in R5?

[Usssssyyyy]

To me it looks like it. With less than a minute left Dricus seemed like he was going to do the impossible & choke out Khamzat. Only issue was he ran in to that giant beard & it proved impossible.

The beard gives an unfair advantage, with no beard there’s a strong chance DDP could’ve tucked under that chin & still have the belt.

Ban beards in the octagon to make the fights fair.

Would have been insane if DDP was to pull off a submission win at the end. That would've been as epic as Anderson's last minute win over Chael.

Yes Khamzat was very lucky, they need to book an immediate rematch without the beard. DDP controlled Khamzat from his back almost 5 rounds straight.

Do not give any ideas to Marc Goddard. Mf might shave him during his next fight.

 

[sabretitan]

Yep. Watch boxing so many saves bud. You're on to something

DDP spent 24 mins on his back and somehow was closer to finishing the fight than Canzat

Wouldn't have mattered. Khamzat has genetic advantage for getting out of that position. He leaves the beard on to trick opponents into doing that.

Lmao knew this was coming

Keeping most of his hair on his chin instead of his head or upper lip gives him a lower centre of gravity for takedowns. Get DDP a Muslim barber for the rematch and he's crucifixing Khamzat.

 

[HUGHPHUG]

They should be shaved head to toe, oiled up and naked. At most a small Roman style nappy

No submissions, whoever enters first wins

 

[Neck&Neck]

Neckbeards are the best choke defence
