Who is the smallest fighter that could stop Khamzat's takedowns?

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

So far, fresh Khamzat has treated Usman and Robert Whittaker like they were babies in the 1st round. They had no chance at stopping his takedowns, although large credit to Usman for surviving the initial storm and making it a competitive fight.

I dunno if there's a fighter in MW and down that could do it. But who do you think is the smallest fighter that could actually stop Khamzat from taking him down, and potentially take him down themselves? Or does such a fighter exist even in HW?

Aliskerov did for a while, hella underrated. But I assume khamzat got way better since then

 

[Viking Power]

Emmanuel Yarborough?

 

[UWPguy]

Ank probably could.

Below LHW, DDP is probably the only guy with a chance.

 

[UppercutFromHades]

No one tbh. Real talk.

Dricus TDD is horrible LMAO. Brunson was manhandling him with ease early and almost finished. The likes of Till and even Rob have gotten Dricus down. He is not hard to take down the reason he hasn't been taken down more is most of his UFC fights have been against pure strikers.

he's playing speed chess with grappling. And his shots are insanely fast coming in. its gonna take someone with similar training in sambo. that or you just weather the storm like kamaru did and wait for the next round to start

askar askarov

 

[SirKratos]

Pure strength and positional knowledge isn't going to be enough to stuff his takedowns. You need to be as fast as him too

 

[The Boomerang]

Conor McGregor would stand his base

 

[RichardHarrow]

Hasbullah

 

[Katsushyro]

Jose Aldo would stuff him bad

 

[Brigfa2]

I would predict that slow ass takedown and ko him with one knee

 

[Jason7227]

Usman rematch. A prepared Usman gives him "some" trouble.
