Explain how Dricus tkos Chimaev when he hit Strickland 500 times without a stoppage

[Intermission]

He hit Strickland with everything who got tkoed by One punch from Poatan.

Chimaev has s stronger chin than Strickland so how the hell you figure Dricus ends it by stoppage? What am I missing?

Not saying he wont win... But hes not koing Khamzat

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Not saying he does but Gilbert Burns had Khamzat hurt pretty good. It’s a lot harder to take a shot when you’re gassed. If he empties the tank in the first 2 and can’t get the finish, he’s in trouble.

Gilbert Burns

Gilbert hits harder

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Catches him right on his chinny

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

Strickland doesn't engage, so he's hard to KO.

 

[usernamee]

Stricks is 90% defense and 10% offense so it's a hell of a lot more difficult to catch him with good shots. And he has great cardio/style for five rounds and a more exhausted fighter is also not just easier to catch but to put out as well.

 

[Intermission]

it's a hell of a lot more difficult to catch him with good shots.

well he did. broke his nose

 

[Intermission]

I believe the laws of chins holds up tonight just like every other.

"How does Jon Jones beat Ciryl Gane when he couldn't even take down Dominick Reyes?!"

 

[usernamee]

well he did. broke his nose

A nose breaks easily and I didn't say it was impossible to catch him, I said it's more difficult.

A nose breaks easily and I didn't say it was impossible to catch him, I said it's more difficult.

Point remains, he doesnt have an iron chin.

One word: fatigue

Ciryl gane has worse grappling. thats how

 

[Intermission]

One word: fatigue

get lost with this fatigue. Hes never been close to losing any fights due to fatigue.

His chin seems strong to me.

He took a perfect punch from Poatan right on the tip of his jaw and it didn't leave him immediately stiff on the canvas as it does with most other people, so that's a good sign.

His only other TKO/KO loss is a spinning wheel kick, which he didn't go out from either but had to be TKOd with punches.

 

[Robbocop]

Strickland is very hard to hit cleanly, Poatan has some of the best striking in the UFC, Chimaev has not fought a lot of top competition, just a few thoughts on the topic. Also while Poatan's left hook put Strickland on queer street, there were several follow up punches which are what led to the stoppage of the fight.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Strickland has some of the best striking defense in all of the UFC

 

[RockyLockridge]

That is also my tap

 

[spinitch]

Strickland trained with Poatan after his brain fuzzed in that fight. Poatan has demonstrated his KO abilities. Khamzat could be tough to KO as well if he fights well defensively plus having a good chin or gets a sub in round 1 with his speed pressure.
