Volk vs Islam 1

10/10 fight. Cannot wait.

Volk vs Islam 1

This is probably the best shout from the last 5 or so years.

I love Alex but I really don't think any one fight of his was at this level of anticipatory buzz among hardcore fans

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Just going by MW Alex vs Izzy was bigger; as was Anderson / Hendo and Anderson / Belfort.

Give this a solid 7.5 / 8 overall

Well If there was ever a title match in the Pedantic Fight Championship; you'd get a 10

I’ll give it a solid 8. It’s kinda crazy that it’s taken Khamzat so long to get here after fighting 3x in his first year in the UFC, but we’re finally here. This def has a big fight feel to me and I’m excited for it.

Yeah wasn't it three fights in a few months or something? Yeah I thought he'd have had the strap well before now, let's see what happens.

And I think this is the best actual fight the UFC can put on currently. Jones v Aspinall would have been huge but not as interesting in terms of the actual fight IMO, can't wait for this, I can't pick a winner though I'd favour DDP if you put a gun to my head.

Yeah, Khamzat had the quickest turnaround in UFC history in 2021. He was marking fools at WW and MW both. I agree this is probably the biggest fight that could be put together now. I don’t know who to pick, I could really see Khamzat just bulldozing him, or Dricus taking the fight deep and exploiting the striking holes we’ve seen in Khamzat.
I think I’m gonna pick Khamzat but not confident in it.

On a scale of 1-10 how do you rank the big fight feel for Khamzat vs DDP?

When is the last time the UFC put on a fight that you felt was at this level of big fight feel?



For me its a 10 and I went back looking at every PPV main event back to the covid era and nothing was topping this for me. What do you guys say?

In today's terms its a 9 or 10

Compared to all fights from the past maybe a 7.

Before the fights happened here are some 10s off the top of my head

Randy v Chuck 1,2,3
Chuck v Tito 1
Wand v Rampage 1 & 2
Bustamante v Hendo 1& 2
Franklin v Silva 1
Hendo v Silva
Tim v Arlovski 2
Nog V Tim
Fedor v AA
Fedor v Tim
Nog v Fedor 2
Fedor v CC
CC v Nog
GSP v BJ 1&2
BJ v Sherk
Saku v Wand 1

no Rampage/Chuck 2 I'm disgusted

We will be certain 24 hours post the fight.

I think it will spike so hard during the main card and few hours after the fight into the skies probably overtaking majority of the past big fights.

There is a huge potential just the way it has trended and everything on Social media this will spike over everywhere other fight come in second place after the Khabib-Conor fight but the potential is even there to surpass just based on the early traffic movements on social media but the spike will only reveal itself during main card until the few hours post fight

 

[prime_lobov]

6/10. Neither guy has the charisma or star power required to get that big fight feel. Ilia, Khabib, Conor, Brock, Fedor - these guys had legit aura. DDP vs Khamzat might be a great fight but it doesn’t have that feel.

Khamzat is the biggest star in the UFC currently. Dude has 10 million followers and works social media like no other fighter imagine if he captures the belt. He will shout up even further.

His fights used to beat Adesanya´s social media interests and would out spike him when Adesanya was still the champ and khamzat as contender

I just woke up today and noticed I was in a strange room, missing a kidney, and my Sherdog username is suddenly blue. I’m still trying to piece it all together.

I kid I kid, I officially became blue yesterday. There a few new mods that you’ll see around.

Shit, now people can't have you on ignore. This forum just dropped in quality.

 

[Cameron]

For me this is a 10. True number 1 vs number 2. Feels like we haven’t had it in a while.

 

[jnes]

Great fight, probably the 2nd most I've been hyped for this year, first was Islam vs Arman and we know how that ended...

 

[Thepaintbucket]

I think it's exciting because there are so many unknowns with Khamzat despite being a worthy ranked contender

 

[BowserJr]

no Rampage/Chuck 2 I'm disgusted

You got me.

That was a great one too. For some reason it slipped my mind
