His strength makes the difference but if you're also a great grappler you can gas him. he's gonna get you though.

If youre a good grappler you can keep him on his feet where hes weak you saw it a lil in the final round and you saw it against Gilbert Burns which they references a few times....DDP stylisitcally is a good fight for Chimaev.He will look dominant against guys who cant wrestle...

Maybe De Ridder has the grappling to keep Khamzat off him on the ground, but I can't see him beating him on the feet.

Khamzat just needs to work on his ground and pound to reach next level Khabib type popularity with casuals.

His hands and chin are mediocre as hell....DDP was gassed as hell and still put about 2-3 rights on his chin that had him leaning back...

Chimaev has a good sense of feel on what you are doing & can move to counter what you're trying to do .

I wonder if Khamzat could do this to say, Jon Jones, who has a size advantage and a wrestling background. I think if Khamzat could fight Jones at his(Khamzat’s) walk around weight which I’m sure is at least 215-220, he could ragdoll Jon too. Or am I tripping. :lupe:

You're tripping. Jon Jones is a real heavyweight now and he has a wrestling background. He'll elbow Chimaev to bolivia

DDP made it easy for him by being sloppy in his gameplan and approach to a fight that wasnt a good styled fight for him to begin with...

Jones is also smart enough to fight intelligently against a guy that he knows wnats to wrestle and wll let him come to him. and be thr aggressor....

If Jon can stop DC, he can stop Khamzat, it might be Khamzat getting taken down then hell-bowed.

Low risk, and boring performance by Khamzat. DDP should've been better prepared for the takedowns, but when he finally stuffed one in the 5th he tagged Chimaev then took his back
