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.

You tripping. But that's the problem with hypothetical questions. 2010-2017 Jon could kill the whole world.

This is good...the casuals don't know that Khamzat finishes most of his fights and he showed enough vulnerability in that 5th round to have a lot of people see him as beatable by someone who can stop his takedowns.

This will get them to tune in to see the "boring" champion get beat. The challenge for UFC is finding a contender they can sell to the public as having enough wrestling to stop his TDs or enough jiu-jitsu to make him hesitant to stay on the ground (like with Gilbert Burns).

Right now, I'm hearing Fluffy Hernandez, De Ridder, and Caio Borralho being mentioning as who fans think can stop Khamzat. But I think they all need one more high profile win to get people believing.

I'd like to see Khamzat do more damage with ground and pound if the sub isn't there. But overall, I have no problem with a dominant wrestler as champion. I can see him going on a Khabib type run and then go up to fight for the LHW strap.

They do look similar, but Palestine has a a red triangle, not a solid red bar. Khamzat lives/trains in UAE so makes sense.

He got it back in January. That’s probably why he was repping them so heavy.
