If DDP had Usman's wrestling skills, do you think he could have beaten Khamzat?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Imagine if Khamzat had Pereira's striking. He wouldn't lose to anyone

Good point, but I think Khamzat striking is underrated.

If Forrest had Anderson’s reflexes, would he have won?

If Alistair had Mark Hunt’s chin, would he have beat Francis?

If Francis didn’t have blathleticism, would he have beat anyone?

Someday, people are going to make their own fights and fighters using AI. But for now, we’re stuck with human beings and all their limitations… which is why it’s exciting.

I disagree 1000%. People are terrified of his shot, so he can style on people because their main concern is him taking them down.

 

[icerealm]

yes, khamzat couldnt submit ddp despite having much more skill than him

if ddp wrestle or did more grappling he could have edge out a win

If Jiri had Usyk's boxing, Tazhudinov wrestling, and Gordon Ryan jiu jitsu, could he have beaten Pereira?

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Probably.

But thats the nature of MMA, you'd have to be a very special fighter to be able to develop DDPs level of striking AND Khamzats level of wrestling. Its beyond most peoples capacity.
