walker vs cerqueira: a glimpse of what may happen in khamzat vs dricus?

[mister piscadinha]

ofcourse, skill for skill you cant compare the first two with the latter two


but watching walker take cerqueira down and hit him with mat return after mat return everytime cerqueira got up, i couldnt help but imagining a similar sceneraio between dricus and khamzat

now, this obviously tired cerqueira as hell, but walker was somehow even more tired and would probably be finished if cerqueira wasnt loading up on every punch and falling around

i can imagine khamzat taking dricus down but having a hard time keeping the bigman down, having to force a lot of mat returns and gassing hard in the process

by the third round i see his wrestling getting stuffed and dricus knocking him the fuck out

my prediction would be dricus by tko rd3

walker is primarily just a wrestler, while chimaev is a great grappler in general. too much difference

DDP will likely grind a decison, khamzat will land hard shots and shoot but I think DDP will find ways to avoid it all.

You don’t just “get up” from wrestlers like Khamzat without being world class yourself. DDP is gonna be on his back all night.

DDP by destruction

Burns didn’t get up, he was let up, and Usman is a world class wrestler and Khamzat had a broken hand. Getting up isn’t just about strength lol

there's no "let up" in mma, khamzat didn't wanna engage with burns on the ground because of bjj
usman had no bjj, still, by the second round he was stuffin khamzat
dricus has size, strenght and bjj, do the math
