Khamzat would absolutely maul Bo Nickal haha

[Asahi]

RDR would destroy Khamzat.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Yea he put himself on a pedestal like he was too good to be fighting more than once a year or something. He should have followed Rosas Jr's lead and fought as much as he can, get as much experience as he can so he's prepared when it's time to move up in competition.

In a way, he's both rushed his career by coming to the UFC when he did, but he's also really dragged his feet when it comes to taking bouts and getting rounds in along the way.
Starting a new sport in your late twenties pretty much requires a consistent willingness to keep evolving in as fast a time frame as you're able to.

If he wasn't planning to push for 3 fights a year even at the risk of losing one or two along the way, he likely underestimated the learning curve

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

This is the reason why people are giving it to Bo, his arrogance was next level and it wasn't justified.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Khamzat wouldn’t make it to the fight unless he got special treatment in UAE

 

[nostradumbass]

Maul him where? Khamzat beats guys by taking them down and subbing them, and there's nothing that suggests he'd be able to do that to Bo. He's probably the better striker, but it's not like he lights guy up on the feet or picks them apart with his striking. There's a good chance we'd finally get to see Khamzat put on his back.

 

[don't ask]

He trained in florida the entire camp at att, not the happy valley gym.

Well, then he needs to go back to the Happy Valley gym and not leave until I complain about it!

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

RDR would destroy Khamzat.

From what i have seen, no he wouldn't, khamzat would beat him by taking him down and GnP him till ko.
i don't see a sub or winning on the feet for either guy.

 

[nonoob]

Bo really needs to stop training in Happy Valley and go train with a team that isn't just Penn State wrestlers. Go train with well rounded fighters who will help you progress, or in fucking Thailand. Hell, he could go train in Holland with the guy who just whooped him and could probably learn how to be a better fighter. His current setup isn't going to get him anywhere

Fully agree BB. Bo spending a single minute training high level wrestling is a waste. How about boxing? Almost as much of a waste of time and money, Bo isn't in there to box, he's there to win fights. Hope he uses his loss as a lesson and for motivation.

 

[Poirierfan]

And RDR would beat both imo, so there's that.

RDR is 6.4 with high level judo and bjj and a gas tank to go with it. As great as Usman is Khamzat would struggle harder with the natural size and strength RDR brings. After RD 1 or 2 RDR will walk a gassed Khamzat down and finishing him wherever.

just remember they already trained with each other, so they both know how good the other is.

Oh, I did not know that. Where did they train together?

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

RDR said in his pre fight presser, he said he trained with both DDP and Khamzat.

Ok. I know he also trains with Mousasi so his skills are definitely being sharpened. And if he tightens up his striking he could definitely be a problem for anyone.

 

[TheNewGame]

RDR would destroy Khamzat.

Who is RDR's best win? Don't know any of the guys he beat prior to the UFC

I think Khamzat looked more dominant than RDR against Holland and Meershaert

 

[AndrewGolota48]

RDR would destroy Khamzat.

This, Bo is actually the clear second best MW on the planet, RDR is just that good. Both humiliate Khamzat and DDP.

How is that even relevant?

Khamzat beat Burns by mostly striking.
He KO'd Aliskerov, who has only lost to Khamzat and Whittaker.

He also 1 punch KO'd GM3, who is better than anyone Bo has finished.

Khamzat is lightyears ahead of Bo in his stand-up and is also a way more efficient mma-wrestler. Khamzat is also much better at BJJ. He has also proven that he can get in a war and come out on top. The times when he "gassed", he still managed to bite down on the mouthpiece and get takedowns and win rounds, Bo could do none of that vs Rdr.

Rdr took down Bo and he also reversed Bo, I don't see why Khamzat couldn't as well.

Bo has no chance of victory there, 0%.

 

[TheNewGame]

Because I'm curious.

How did RDR's striking look against other good strikers?

Hey Bo
This must be your Alt
