Media Khamzat claims he is better than Dricus everywhere. Levels above him.

[MMAFanCal]

In the fight countdown I had posted, Khamzat had said he is better than Dricus everywhere and that Dricus 'is not my level'. Looks like Dricus calls Khamzat 'very special' and that 'hype is well deserved', but it is not quite the same the other way around for the champion himself.

His rationale:

- He beat Whittaker faster than Dricus
- Whittaker to quote took him down and Whittaker could not do a single thing to himself
- Dricus has never beaten an undefeated opponent. All of his opponents are either 'not a fighter' or they are on a losing streak.
- Dricus looked bad against Till and Brunson getting taken down by them.
- Dricus does not have good enough striking or grappling to stand against him.

I know Dricus is the underdog going into this fight, but do you think this fight has garnered the least respect for his skillsets? I personally think yes.

I think once DDP beat Izzy all doubts should've been eliminated imo. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean the guy is invincible or unbeatable by any stretch of the imagination, but thinking he is a scrub is fckn absurd.

I am just stating a fact that came out yesterday. Those are all his words.

Unfortunately, the narrative I am seeing everywhere (including by Khamzat himself), Dricus beat a washed up Adesanya. Khamzat also said Adesanya is the better fighter, but Dricus only beat him because Adesanya is not into it as much. It is more due to the fact that Adesanya was not himself than it is due to Dricus being that good.

It's like the "two minutes of hate"-sessions in 1984.

 

[Ladder Master]

How many fighters has Khamzat beat in the top 10 at 185 lbs
vs how many has DDP beat?

Get lost already troll. I am putting facts up. You are no one to stop me from putting threads up that are legit and don't violate any rules.

You guys cry like a b*tch when facts are stated that don't favor Khamzat yet, cry all day how Dricus is so inferior to Khamzat. Look at the coach post of people crying that Dricus' coach said Khamzat stand up is not that good. Khamzat made homophobic remarks towards his coach and called his team 'fat', yet his coach cannot critique Khamzat's skills?

Go look at your own post history you a**hole. You are the no. 1 Dricus hater.

If you want to get butthurt for things Khamzat himself is saying, you need therapy or better things to do in your life.

No doubt Izzy isn't the same guy he was years ago, but anyone beating Izzy right now solidifies them as being a contender in the division. DDP impressed me in the Izzy fight because he won while being gassed. Usually, guys give up or can't push through while being gassed, but DDP not only pushed thru but finished the fight. DDP is also pretty well rounded. His stand up isn't the best nor is it the most technical, but it is effective. He has wrestling, grappling, & submission skills. Not to mention he's hard to put away. You critique DDP skills all day, but the fact of the matter is he is holding gold right now in a competitive division & has defended it. More questions will be answered for both guys next weekend, but DDP is no joke. Scrubs don't hold gold in the UFC.

With all due respect, you're calling me a troll and a POS over a very light hearted jab, a movie reference.

I actually appreciate that you're starting threads, relax.

This is also funny, I actually like Dricus.

 

[KO Shotz]

Agreed, but unfortunately this time I am seeing Dricus being treated more of a joke. The points I stated in my OP are the common running theme.

I guess we will see when they step into the octagon. But DDP has been underestimated the entire time & he keeps proving most wrong.

I definitely don't want to stop you from making threads, I enjoy it.

I'm not butthurt, it was a joke. Relax.

That is what is the deja vu thing about this for me. Seen this play out many times, but they say, this time it is different because it is Khamzat and his grappling is unstoppable.

That's fine. Let's not get too excited about Chimaev tho. Yes, the guy is legit & is very dangerous, but his performances against Usman & Gilbert Burns are nothing to rant about. Khamzat's win against bobby knuckles was impressive, but I'm not sold on Chimaev being an unstoppable monster especially after the first round.

Ditto. Khamzat is the best contender in the division by a long shot, but yeah Dricus is no joke either.

Thanks.

As for me being a #1 Dricus hater, I picked him to win (and rooted for him) vs both Strickland and Izzy.

I just think that this is a bad matchup for him, just as people think Dricus is a bad matchup for Khamzat, and I acknowledge the possibility that he might prove me wrong.

It's nothing personal for me, I don't know either of them.

Dricus is actually the better one

Striking: Dricus
Wrestling: Khamzat
Jujitsu: Even
Cardio: Dricus
Durability: Dricus

Its so obvious whats gonna happen. Khamzat will fade after the middle of the second round and Dricus will start to outwork him to a decision.

Majority of them were fake news. Using fake tweets and sometimes fake qoutes.

This is not all that deep, it is just a cage fight and both guys will shake hands at the end of the day..

Besides Khamzat has to believe he is better then Dricus otherwise why would he be fighting him? Makes no sense no

Dude, GTFO. They are not 12 and 'EVERYONE is fake news' is a huge stretch, captain exaggeration.

You are trying to take that one example of the photoshopped pictures in which I fixed the title to ensure Khamzat is not deemed as responsible, still you sound salty and butthurt.

EVERY other thread I have made, had direct quote from Khamzat (or a video directly). Show me which other was fake news that I posted.
