If Khamzat Chimaev goes in there and takes out DDP in the 1st round will there be any arguments left that this is indeed one of the best talents if not the best ever talent to step inside octagon. What makes Khamzat special is how he sees the fight game and how he approaches it and he often makes elite competition look easy that is just the level he is at.

Imagine what kind of monster you have to be to just take DDP out like that. Plus few more title defenses Khamzat Chimaev´s GOATship will be undeniable and most of it will come on the back of how quickly and how he dispatches his opponents.

Nobody does MMA like this, he is an artist

If there's one ability Khamzat has, it's the ability to rise to the top without answering a single question about what he's capable of. I've never seen anything like it before.

Chimaev´s capability is in his technical level and fight IQ where others will take hours to paint one painting he can do it in minutes and in order to understand and appreicate you have to watch him on slowmo to understand what happened.

All his fights are like a crime scene people don´t understand what happened because it went so fast then you have to rewind and watch it on slowmo to analyse what happened

The eye test says he's an amazing athelte and fighter. It's all good in theory. We need to see it applied against the highest level in practice.

This is just silly.
 
His ability to make very good fighters look like regional level cans is pretty special.

He basically handled Whittaker with the same ease as he did Rhys McKee.

He has basically only faced resistance in just 2 out of his 8 UFC-fights, and even in those two he was very close to finishing in round 1.

I think he's up there with Aspinall, Islam, and Ilia in talent-level, because his grappling poses such an extreme finishing threat.
 
If he finishes DDP in the 1st round it was because DDP finally got exposed and/or DDP never really fought anyone good. So we still wouldn't know if Khamzat is any good and it's still very likely he's a can.
DDP's faced a murderer's row. I didn't have a high opinion of his "crab fu" style of fighting but he keeps folding his opponents so he deserves respect

I'm looking forward to this fight

He was in a complete war with burns.

that should go to Aspinall. His lone win after round 1 was an ancient arlovski. the dq and getting mauled
Om the ground and heel hooked with his deadly English grappling
 
On condition that if DDP finishes Khamzat, then we can look back on his (fortunately for him only 3 round) decisions over Burns and Usman as his best accomplishments, on way to being overhyped.
this comment is going to look even funnier after he destroys DDP
 
You new breed folks that think one title win puts you in best ever categories are funny, IMO.
