Dricus Du Plessis’ Coach Wants to 'Destroy' Khamzat Chimaev in Rematch

It was a dominating performance, but nobody wants to see a rematch, for the moment.
One of those cases where no rematch is warranted. DDP has to show that the next fight won't just be a complete repeat of the first. Otherwise, how do you sell that fight? He's going to need to win at least one fight against a decent wrestler, probably more than 1.
 
Plan A: Don't let Khamzat take DDP down.

Plan B: (You will be here again) Now What?

Plan C: DDP Crucifix defense.
 
A lot of what sherdoggers are suggesting DDP should have done are things DDP did in fact do.

You all wanted him to travel elsewhere to train: he travelled to train with russian grapplers in prep for khamzat.

You all want him to do his training at least part time elsewhere now and get better training partners -- his coach himself acknowledged in this interview that they need to do that and make big changes and that they're going to spend 4 months solely doing just that.

So yeah, while his coach is a cunt and a bitter loser, he's still doing what everyone is saying he should do.
+1
 
He's got a long way to go, Khamzat didn't do anything new on Saturday and he didn't prepare DDP for his basic attack plan.
 
What are the chances Dricus makes his way back up to the top, Khamzat is still there and Dricus is ready to wrestle his ass off, but Khamzat just stands and breaks his face by outstriking him. Does anyone remember when GSP pulled that on Koscheck?
 
Word has it that ddp still has his neck bent a little to the side from turning it so much while being ridden by crucifix
 
Khamzat getting into the crucifix without trying to finish the fight was a bit mystifying. The only things that make the crucifix difficult to escape are panic from horrific G&P or submission defense taking precedence; without one of those the escape is white belt level stuff, especially if you start with good athleticism. It's almost as though Khamzat knew that DDP wouldn't bother trying to escape.
DDP spent more time in the crucifix than Jesus - Craig Jones.

lmao

Your fighter tries to block front kicks with his knee. There's a LOT to fix.

Dricus Du Plessis’ coach still thinks he can solve the puzzle of Khamzat Chimaev.

Chimaev challenged Du Plessis for the middleweight title in the main event at UFC 319 on Saturday in Chicago. Leading up to the fight, coach Morne Visser sounded extremely confident about Du Plessis’ wrestling, predicting the South African would beat Chimaev at his own game. However, things played out differently as Chimaev took Du Plessis down in the opening seconds and controlled him throughout the first round.


While Du Plessis and Visser were smiling in the corner at the end of the first round, the smiles started to disappear as the same script played out round after round. “Borz” dethroned Du Plessis via unanimous decision after controlling him for over 21 minutes. Towards the latter rounds, Visser had only one advice for his student – that he needed a finish.

However, Visser believes he has the answer to the riddle of Chimaev. While some suggest that Du Plessis should fight Reinier de Ridder next, Visser wants to focus solely on a rematch against Chimaev. While it’s easier said than done, Visser believes Chimaev can be destroyed if his takedowns are defended.

Visser: ‘I Want to FIx This Problem’​


“Instead of preparing for Reinier de Ridder fight, I would rather spend that time to fix the problem that we’ve got and then go into a camp,” Visser told Submission Radio. “So I won’t just take a fight because a fight’s available. I want to fix this problem. Because we’re gonna face Khamzat and I want to destroy him this time. And that sounds easy, it sounds so easy. If you can get that guy not to take you down or stuff his takedowns and stand back up and punish him. But he’s also picked up his wrestling big time, Khamzat. And no RDR fights right now, I want to spend the time on fixing this problem.”

Meanwhile, Chimaev has called out de Ridder for his first title defense. “The Dutch Knight” also verbally agreed to the fight, calling for a matchup at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi in October.

"We'll for sure get him next time!"

DDP should have to win at least 4 in a row before getting another title shot.
 
Yeah the guy who lost 50-41 is going to win the rematch lmao.

Almost like he had a mole in his camp…
