Bro who cares about what people who don't know anything about MMA think

You gonna rewatch it?

 

[Söze Aldo]

I enjoyed it

I was very entertained, laughing my ass off at how bad DDP looked. Then laughing at his and his corners attitude between rounds, and seeing him get put on his back again within 20 seconds.

All the people who voted below 5 are ironically probably think GSP is GOAT despite being as boring his entire career.

Saying GSP was boring his entire career is just ignorant he has 8 finishes inUFC and not all of his decision wins were boring. Grow up.

I'm going to today I was a bit intoxicated watching live. lol

 

[Söze Aldo]

the most shocking thing was DDP's total lack of knowledge. should have been breaking the wrist control, pushing head down, properly splaying hips back, legs wide, whizzer, cross face, something.

instead he unknowingly conceded every attempt and just looked lost at basic get ups.

that was the most shocking/entertaining.

Yeah, what's crazy is he's not a terrible grappler generally



He said Khamzat just did everything to counter him being able to get out of the blanketing.

You gonna rewatch it?

Yes, when I am able to download it.

Not sure what that has to do with people who NEVER watched MMA before.

this is entirely my point though, there are massive levels in wrestling. just because he submits nobodies doesn't mean he can hang with kamzaht.

on top of that, he had 0 basic high school wrestling defense. DC is right, this is stuff you learn in the very beginning. so the fact that he had a whole camp, and just had no idea or concept of what to do, what to grab, is pretty crazy.

I'm just yanking your crank bro. I'm glad you found it entertaining.

To me, it was more shocking than entertaining but to each their own.

Will be harder to get through it sober.

DDP isn’t even new to grappling. He started judo at a very young age and reportedly took up wrestling at 12. The difference may come down to the level of grappling training he received compared to guys like DC and Khamzat, who reached a high level in freestyle wrestling while in Sweden.

Well look at it from my perspective as a fan of both guys. I expected DDP to come on later on but he couldn't, although he tried. This time Khamzat was able to go all 5 and was less tired cos he was controlling the fight. Also a lot of people hate on any Caucasus fighters, regardless of how they fight. Wether it's Shara or Khamzat. So it's fuckin awesome to see those people cry.

As a grappler myself it was awesome to see that kind of skill employed. Sure I def was shouting for khamzat to frame some elbows in the crucifix like matt Hughes but he got the job done. I am pleased.

Khamzat did very well. He landed a shit ton of gnp and was looking for subs. Dricus was just too good at stopping the sub attempts and minimizing the gnp. But he couldn't do anything else.

If Dricus was just a little worse or a little better the fight would probably have been more entertaining.

 

[HHJ]

If Dricus was just a little worse or a little better the fight would probably have been more entertaining.

Of course. We saw what he could manage when he got some space. If he could stop that takedown, Khamzat is in trouble

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Zero or 1 , and I'll explain why.. its because every single round was on loop, it was groundhog day in every round, nothing different was happening, the takedowns were exactly the same time, the crucifix, side control, everything. It just started to get hard to watch, patty cake punches from Khamzat, and DDP very little urgency.

I know people are gonna say you don't know what you're watching and don't understand skill.. yeah yeah we get all of that but TS is asking in terms of entertainment, and imo every round was on loop and it seemed to be dragging on forever.

 

[sdpdude9]

Wasn’t great and not because of Khamzat’s grappling heavy approach. For me, it wasn’t great because it was uncompetitive and seeing DDP fail to stop a takedown or even come close to getting up was frustrating.

 

[Aurelian]

Of course. We saw what he could manage when he got some space. If he could stop that takedown, Khamzat is in trouble

I didn't like the fact he went for a guillotine in the first and second rounds. Seems like a training mistake. Should have been working TDD.

In the world where Khaz gets tired, I don't hate that. Keep the scramble alive early.

The guillotine choke in the 5th round was soul crushing.

Tbh...

Despite all this domination, I would like to see a rematch at some point and see what the guy can do to adjust.
