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

[ShaggyDoyle]

An Usman got Khamzat to 3 rounds on short notice and was holding his own fairly well, despite being smaller.



Now imagine for a second if DDP had Usman's level of take down defense and solid wrestling, do you think he could have gotten Khamzat to stand and bang and possibly win the fight?

 

[OmegaRugal]

Of course

 

[Luthien]

I think Khamzat could have quickly finished DDP on the feet

Which is why I was annoyed that he didn't even give it a try^^

Also, what if DDP had Merab level cardio, prime Anderson Silva's striking, Fedor's ground and pound, Demian Maia's BJJ, Jon Jones's reach, and prime Mark Hunt's chin! He'll be unstoppable!

 

[HatKick]

What if Usman was the same size as DDP? Would he beat Khamzat?

 

[Luthien]

What if Conor had been twice the size of Nate?!

 

[Portland8242]

If Bisping's johnson was the same size as Rockhold's, would he have still beaten him?

 

[AndrewGolota48]

Of course

Seriously, a huge version of Usman with those wrestling skills replacing DDP's historically bad TDD, and then being able to utilize his strengths....he would streamroll Khamzat. Still loses to Jon Jones though.

Maybe DDP would've had a better chance if Khamzat had injured himself in round 1 like vs Usman.

 

[ninja boot]

maybe... but in fantasyland Khamzat would have hybridized Iron sheik and the Ultimate Warrior's skillsets and beat him even worse.

Thats what i was thinking. 100 on all skills

 

[Trabaho]

Didn't Khamzat break his hand im that fight. He was coasting 2 & 3.

Usman was lucky to get out of the first round.

 

[MMACro]

Ifs ifs ifs
Khamzat made world champion look like PFL fighter
Deal with it

 

[Intermission]

Khamzat made world champion look like PFL fighter

He didn't do anything, they should have been stood up every time.

 

[Söze Aldo]

DDP with peak Usman's wrestling would be a GOAT candidate.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Prime Usman would have beaten Chimaev at 170.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

How about 'if' he was Fedor, would he have won?

he did try in the last round and DDP started landing shots right away

 

[chinarice]

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