This fight is actually really bad for Khamzat.

[nublood]

One can only dream that he somehow wins and leaves the UFC.

I honestly hope that happens as I'm pulling for Nate. But Khamzat will maul, gnp, smother him or pretty much whatever he wants to do with Nate. Horrible matchup for Nate.

 

[Huligani]

Nate got thrown around by a lesser wrestler in Rory MacDonald.

 

[Adebisi]

Khamzat is still very green, any cage time is good for him. Even against a washed fighter, at least he’ll be going up against somebody with a ton of experience.

 

[Jawth]

Nate knows something we don't,why on earth would he take this fight? It doesn't make sense,i think nate tko in 5th

Because he is willing to take the beating so he can take another beating from a youtuber for $$.

I agree! It will be very hard for him to make this look like a fight and not just an assault on a minor.

NEVER COUNT OUT A DIAZ..



This could be legendary...odds are stacked against Nate but he wouldn't want it any other way..lets go

 

[mmacool]

I hope Nate don't let himself beat up. Easy way out without damage and that's it.

 

[The Judo Champ]

Nate has ducked wrestlers his whole career as he gets tossed around by basically every wrestler he’s ever faced. Khamzat is the biggest and arguably best wrestler Diaz has ever fought? If he can survive Gilbert burns bombs and bjj he can easily handle any threat Diaz offers

 

[Uber_Noober]

Nate knocks him out, then puts a blunt in his unconscious mouth and lights it for him

 

[chardog]

People already forgot Rory Macdonald ragdolling Diaz.

khamzat dont like ground game of high level JJ players

 

[NoSmilez]

Khamzat has the gameplan to beat a Diaz Brother. Nate's chances increases with a dog fight. The fight is Khamzat's to lose. We already know what Nate is coming with. I don't believe he is that shot where he will get mauled.

 

[Iroh]

Khamzat has the physical talent to be one of the greatest ever, but we’ve seen he has flaws related to striking defense, not sticking to a game plan, and wanting to swang and bang rather than fighting smart.

The Burns fight probably taught him a lot and might have made him a much better fighter. But now he’s getting fed a washed Nate Diaz. The crowd will be going wild and wanting violence. He’s gonna end up walking him down and fighting like an idiot and KO’ing him and then he’ll be back in the swang and bang mindset that got him in trouble against Burns.

But it will just further lead to developing bad habits that will cost him against elite WWs. You don’t sharpen your skills when you’re preparing for and fighting Nate Diaz.

He can still try to keep disciplined and follow a game plan, especially if Nate manages to last for a while. But also dependent on what gameplan he will have. And keeping active is also important and this fight keeps Khamzat active and helps his career. So I don't think it's that bad for him.

well, he couldnt handle burn's jj game, otherwise, that would have been an easy night for him.

people forget how green khamzat really is

 

[Zed237]

I agree. People r saying Nate loses to wrestlers but khamzat doesn't fight like a typical wrestler. He looks to finish in every position. That is the type of fight Nate likes because he's good at surviving and coming on once the opponent slows down. Conor threw the kitchen sink at Nate and lost. Second fight Conor decided to point fight once Nate survived the initial onslaught. Leon point fought and masvidal said he was going to show more of his grappling in later rounds (basically means control Nate since mas won't sub). Khamzat not going to sub Nate and so he will look for ko. Nate is hard to knock out.
Nate took fight hoping khamzat gets tired like he did in burns.

 

[chillyoo]

Smoke a bleez and find a way, Khazmat is huge but flawed.

It’s just that Nate should be at 155 to be his best and Khazmat could probably make 205

Damn, i swear half the people here didn't even read what TS typed...posting completely irrelevant replies lol

Its gonna be a doctor stoppage.

You are crazy if you think current Nate has high level bjj for WW standards.
