What happened to DDP being too strong with too good of cardio?

[wisdom blows]

I thought DDP was too strong with too good of cardio? Why did he curl up in the fetal position for 24:15 of the fight and only fight for 45 seconds? What happened? I thought he was too big and too strong for Chimaev, who barely beat a 155er in Burns? Why did DDP look like a porn star giving up that ass all night to a weaker fighter like Khamzat?

The devil is in the details. Khamzat isn't killing himself to make 170 anymore. Khamzat isn't overtraining (led to being exhausted on fight days). Khamzat isn't fighting with a torn ligament in his hand anymore (Usman fight). Khamzat has matured, has children now. Khamzat actually started training his cardio the right way. Khamzat isn't going 100 to nothing for the kill in the first 10 seconds of the fight anymore. He's just a more mature fighter now.

Calmzat Chillmaev is scary dangerous.

reewatch DPP vs Brunson... DPP being toyed by brunson physicaly

 

[Bobby Kotick]

DDP has never been a good fighter unfortunately

 

[gentel]

I mean DDP is so strong that Khamzat had to emphasize control and do less damage in crucifix and backpack, and Khamzat did gas out and almost got RNC'd in the 5th round

Overall DDP's athleticism turned it into a Jailton Almeida vs Derrick Lewis type of situation (that fight also made the fans throw a fit)

DDP fought like someone scared to be finished and just tucked his chain like he was in prison, offering up no openings at all. One of the most embarrassing and dreadful performances by a champ in UFC history smh

DDP heard the comments saying that Khamzat was going to gas in round 3 and beleived them.
What he doesnt understand is he needs to make Khamzat work too! Not just lay there and hope time will take his gas away lol

Funny thing is, people used to criticize DDP’s cardio lol.

Because DDP can't wrestle worth a f#ck and Khamzat hired TJ Dillashaw "doc" for cardio lol

Yep I'm hear to eat crow.
Thought DDP could tough out the early rounds and take over.

100 % wrong lol.
