“Take a community of Dutchmen of the type of those who defended themselves for fifty years against all the power of Spain at a time when Spain was the greatest power in the World. Intermix with them a strain of those inflexible French Huguenots who gave up home and fortune and left their Country forever at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The product must obviously be one of the most rugged, virile, unconquerable races ever seen upon Earth. Take this formidable people and train them for seven generations in constant warfare against savage men and ferocious beasts, in circumstances under which no weakling could survive, place them so that they acquire exceptional skills with weapons and in horsemanship, give them a Country which is eminently suited to the tactics of the huntsman, the marksman and the rider. Then, finally, put a fine temper upon their military qualities by a dour fatalistic Old Testament religion and an ardent and consuming patriotism. Combine all of these qualities and all these impulses in one individual, and you have the modern Boer. The most formidable antagonist who ever crossed the path of Imperial Britain.” - Arthur Conan Doyle 1902 - Just in case you think only Dagestan makes tough people

Strickland was the fight pre Whitaker Chimaev. The Loss Strickland had was split and controversial and instead of a rematch that happens the majority of the time. Izzy got the fight. Sean is ranked #1 so I agree with Chael 100%. Chimaev vs winner of Strickland v Du Plessis. That finishes the business of the sport
Sean lost his first title defence, then had the most boring fight in recent history in a split decision win Costa, then he whined like a school girl on social media. He wanted to wait, let him wait.
@@JoeSmith-we3jw it was his first, with many believing that he did win. A close fight is enough reason for a rematch. We've seen it happen without the rematched opponent ever being champion, so title defences don't determine a rematch
@tijlsepter5551 We now have an undefeated contender who ran through Whittaker in round 1. A fight Strickland refused to take. Only his most loyal supporters will believe he deserves it over Khamzat.
I think DDP mauls Chimaev. One thing is for certain- Chimaev ain't getting DDP out of there in the first two rounds. Chimaev will be in the world of trouble in round 3 and probably get finished. The moment Dricus smells blood he finishes you.
That’s the only chance DDP has because he hasn’t fought a wrestler like khamzat. It was impressive for ddp beating strickland and adesanya. But they’re not wrestlers. If rob was able to take ddp down then I’m certain khamzat will take him down.
@@dilochetty9332 tap to an injury? That’s an excuse lol khamzat was the one that caused it. Ddp cannot find sparring partners to emulate khamzat. You’ll see.
@@dilochetty9332 you will say the same thing if Khamzat later on wins this fight and other contender steps in or either Sean gets the match🤣, Just accept that Khamzat is really him, the guy’s different than the version when he fought Gilbert and Usman, he is so so much better, doesn’t take Rocket Scientist brain to understand that Khamzat is that good. I was rooting for Usman when they fought and i think that Usman would get the win, but yea i just think that Borz is just different man😅
he gonna take him down smesh him like everyone else and thats it, it seems like his new way of training is giving fruits for everything on his arsenal because as you said nobody knew him better than the one coach he raised him and train him from the start
Cumshot gonna get his first L from Dricus. He has yet to face a guy like Dricus. Rob is a small MW used to be a WW. Barely squeaked a win against a lightweight burns, drew against off the couch Usman. He can’t make weight. DDP will break him and you idiots will cry

The only times Chimaev has looked human was against elite grapplers. Against Burns, a BJJ world champion, Khamzat could not dominate on the ground - it was a dangerous area and he had to bail on ground positions a few times because of submission threats. Against Usman, he had to spent a ton of energy wrestling, but he could also not get good bang for his bucks on the positions he gained. Usman is one hell of a wrestler and even though Chimaev had an edge in that department, it wasn't enough of an edge for him to close the show. Usman has been a dominant champ, and the fact that he didn't go through a grueling camp is maybe not the disadvantage that people think - when you have chronic issues (the way Usman does with his knees), being well rested can sometimes beat 3 months of grind in camp. Those were the only times Chimaev couldn't really impose his will in the wrestling department: against legit, highly credentialled grapplers who came up in a grappling sport, as in, not guys who learned grappling for MMA and got good at mixing things up, but specialists who will fight every detail of a grappling position. DDP is an enormously physical guy, very strong and powerful, but I'm not sure he is technical enough of a grappler to fight off Chimaev in grappling, and Strickland is known to be a competent grappler, but he is not a guy who is in love with grappling. DDP is a tough fight, but it could easily turn out to be a mauling. Strickland might be an easy fight style-wise. They have trained together, Chimaev will know what to expect in the stand up, the pressure and the looks. Strickland's deceptively basic approach to striking will not surprise Chimaev because he's already experienced it, and he isn't the kind of guy who will suddenly develop some unorthodox stuff to throw Chimaev off his game. Grappling-wise, Strickland admitted he got mauled, and that's not the kind of skill gap that can be bridged in a training camp, especially if you are like Sean and don't love grappling. If Strickland wins the title, I very much doubt he will sign on the dotted line because he knows he's getting whopped.
@sylver76 Lol that's what I mean when I say it's excellent, it's good enough to submit Khamzat himself, who is claimed to be the best grappler but I disagree. You'll see what I mean when they fight eventually, because you haven't seen anything yet from Dricus.
Honestly if you look at the fight between Robert Whittaker vs Dricus, i know Dricus will get a big problem when he face KChimaev soon. why Robert Whittaker could taken down Dricus so easy on that fight??😢, imagine if he face KChimaev's Anaconda attack skill😢😢..i even dont want to imagine it, so scary to imagine how can be happened to our life😢..BUT RESPECT TO DDP HE IS A TRUE CHAMPION, HE'S NOT SCARE TO FIGHT EVERYBODY❤
Bet ya all, DDP straight out of the bell round 1 goes for a take down on Cumshot, then beat him at his own game. Just his mentality. Aint standing back for nobody
Khamzat is a force to be avoided when healthy, and the biggest problem in the UFC when fighting less than 100 He's a problem when sick and a disaster when in form 3.11.24
dricsu beats khamzat and he beats strickland. he is the real deal champion you will see. he is to much physicality and fight iq to lose to khamzat. now if khamzat had the same physicality as dricus then maybe khamzat could win but dricus is to strong and big for his wrestling to work against dricus like it does with everyone else. also gilbert burns beat khamzat i watched it back several times they robbed gilbert to allow khamzat to keep his undefeated record so the ufc can push it for views and revenue. same as how they robbed peter yan against sean o malley, peter clearly won the fight everyone saw it
8:30-8:50 Honestly you have to then call out Izzy for being dumb for choosing the hardest opponents. It's just a matter of wanting a challenge and legacy that Dricus wants more man.
Khamzats style matches perfect with Sean’s weaknesses. He finishes him in round one. DDP is not going to be nearly as easy but I do still believe Khamzat pulls out the win via decision. Or less likely but totally possible he sub’s him.
If he can keep the fight on the ground, he will drain DDP like Brunson did, and if his cardio can hold up, he can submit him in the third or fourth round. That's the only way he beats him.
He controls his pace and wipes him out in later rounds. I don't think Dricus can take five rounds with him, but we've got to find out what Chimaev's energy looks like now after 3. This is getting to be a turning point in Chimaev's career for how he handles the tough fights. His instinct is to jump in like a wolf and thrash and maul. Some fighters up on the top shelf can survive that and come back at you for 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th. Look at what Alex did to Khalil. That's veteran fighting. If all your stoppages are in the first round not mentioning any names something might not be what it should be. A real champion can win the tough ones.
Dricus stands firm while Strickland folds. If Chimaev can learn finesse than he might be able to successfully get DDP down....and then DDP stands back up ...
He has a lot of finesse/technique in his wrestling. I think Dricus needs to be more careful with his attacks vs Khamzat. He didn't have to worry about getting taken down in his last few fights, he will also have to be careful not to give up his back while trying to get back up on his feet.
People still don't know who DDP is...Go watch Dricus submit an entire school of Gracie black belts. Back to back with virtually no rest in between opponents! . Its on UA-cam. Go Check it out. Trust me. DDP is a tank and will absolutely eviscerate Khamzat.
@j.a.hernandez9742 . Well he took Whitaker down in the first round, ground and pounding him and splitting him open. The 2nd round he smashed Whitaker and TKO'd him against the cage. What more can you ask for? Khamzat only finished Robert quickly because he had an underlying weakness in his front teeth which collapsed in the choke. If Rob survived that first round the outcome would've been different. Khamzat is not that good. He is one dimensional with shit cardio. DDP is going to F him up.
I tend to believe that Chimaev’s relentless wrestling pressure would eventually overcome Dricus’ defense. We may not have seen this before but he hasn’t faced a Chimaev level wrestler either.
I agree with uncle Chael, DDP knows Strickland brought a tough fight. He's looking to explore other options, that being Khamzat. DDP said that Khamzat hasn't seen power like his before and frankly I'd agree, DDP is huge at 185 while Chimaev has only just come up a weight class. I don't like DDP as a champion so I hope I'm wrong, however I think he's smart going for Chimaev
Now I am absolutely convinced Chael hates DDP. A champ calling out the hardest fight in the division and Chael says that's not courageous that's just foolish is crazy business and then he says if DDP beats Strickland then the fans would just have to hope they see Strickland vs Chimaev as if anyone is remotely interested in that very predictable squash fight
Strickland can’t win any of those 2 matches. If he goes in first against Dricus, we’ll never see him fight Chimaev. Dricus beats Strickland and Chimaev beats Dricus, so where is the logic here? The only slight uncertainty is the outcome of Dricus versus Chimaev, but Chimaev will clearly be the favorite. So if you really want to see Strickland fight Chimaev, the right thing to do is to give Chimaev an immediate shot at the belt, and let him fight Strickland right after.
Well he knows that its inevitable to fight Chimaev and just wants to win the mental mind game before the fight by saying he wants to fight him. You have seen this many times, it would be different if Chimaev wasnt the obvious matchup in the near future, then he would never have gone out like that and call him out.
DDP will be like nothing Khamzat ever faced before he'll be fighting somebody with a granite chin High Fight IQ Superb wrestling unorthodox wrestling Brute strength that matches or surpasses chimaev if Khamzat shoots DDP locks in darce choke or guillotine his finished and he cannot knockout ppl so it's not good for khamzat both place and once khamzat gasses after first round he'll start getting picked apart round 4 or 5 will get finished first loss dricus is the man to beat him
what are you talking about, Chimaev can't knock out people? You clerly didn't see the fight he had with Meerschaert where Khamzat knocked him out in the first 15 seconds lol
@BorderlineWarriorPrincess khamzat got no option his glass jaw already got exposed with Gilbert burns 2 left hooks clean from DDP his finished if he shoots he'll get put in a choke and he wouldn't be able to scramble that's how powerful DDP go watch his fights he has more experience than khamzat to
@@husainaboobaker9615 I’ve watched both, DDP does have brute strength yeah but he’s awkward as fuck, and he doesn’t have much technique. He literally looks like one of the Joker’s titans from Arkham asylum the way he swings his arms round and runs forward and punches at the same time. He seems to go in and swing and gets lucky. Khamzat might not be as big or as physically strong, but in the ground game it doesn’t matter about strength and power as much as skill. He has the skill in abundance and knows where to put his weight to suffocate his opps.
@BorderlineWarriorPrincess yes that what makes him so unique he beat Whitaker Strickland and Izzy who have better technique guy does not know how to lose look at khamzat cardio he gassed after 1 round if he huffs and puffs against DDP round 2 he'll get clubbered and he will be put to sleep we've seen Khamzat be put down by guys like Burns whose much weaker than DDP burns got robbed that fight they handed the win as gift to khamzat to keep his undeafted streak it was close it was a dog fight he couldn't take burns down cause when he did round 1 he didn't like how burns twisted his arm he admitted that that's why he kept it standing if you do that with DDP go into dog fight Khamzat will get blasted and concussion he'll shoot and will be put into a standing guillotine
To simply put it, he doesn’t beat Dricus. Hulle Weet Nie Wat Ons Weet Nie. Dricus will hand cumshot his first L. Everyone has doubted the Boer every single time and he has always proven them wrong.
Didn’t Rob have a takedown on DDP? If so I honestly think khamzat is just gonna do the same thing to ddp just not as easily. I believe that khamzat will outstrike ddp and every time ddp goes in for his blitz if he even does in this fight Khamzat will just shoot and get the takedown. I honestly think khamzat will win the belt via uppercut tho but that’s a whole different thing, that’s my hot take lol
Very interesting take. I think DDP is a better striker but maybe the takedown threat will counter the blitz. But DDP has a good chin, if chimaev doesn't submit him early do you think his cardio will hold up to DDP's?
@@dwaasda1379I think DDPs way of attacking is based on that he usually doesn't have to worry about getting taken down. Lots of blitzes, body kicks, high kicks, leaping with punches etc, all risky things vs an elite wrestler. About the cardio, DDP will also have moments where he's gassed, especially if he has to explode and use his power to get out of bad spots on the ground. If two guys grapple, and one is on top, the guy on the bottom usually wastes more energy having to carry his weight, taking ground and pound damage, etc. I predict they both will be tired if Dricus survives 1 or 2 rounds of heavy grappling exchanges.
Before seeing the video, double leg takedown and relentlessness. The name shouldn't be only 'wolf', should be starving wolf, because he surely fights like one.
As a Chael fan this is a terrible argument by Chael, everyone including Chael talk about the qualities of true MMA warriors including taking any fight and asking for any fight and how awesome those folks are vs people that duck opponents. Then here Chael says DDP is picking Chimaev because he’s stupid or because he thinks he’s the easier fight…😵💫. Which is it do real champs and fighters take easy roads or not? Is padding records a good thing or not? Did Chael change his mind or is he not authentic? I get it it that Chael is a pragmatist and mostly gives us that opinion, but its odd hearing him support conflicting fighter mindsets. DDP is either honest about wanting the tough fight or he just wants to play the part while knowing a bunch of factors can cancel the fight or that UFC wanting to do Strickland rerun first. No one likes a flip flop

That's not going to work against a guy who wrestles like chimaev, in fact that's giving Khamzat the easy route to domination

like he did with brunson? a far inferior grappler than chimaev is?
@@0nobody365Brunson, inferior grappler? Who out grappled Brunson?
Same way as he did to Whitaker
Strickland was the fight pre Whitaker Chimaev. The Loss Strickland had was split and controversial and instead of a rematch that happens the majority of the time. Izzy got the fight. Sean is ranked #1 so I agree with Chael 100%. Chimaev vs winner of Strickland v Du Plessis. That finishes the business of the sport
this is the correct answer
Rematch is usually for dominant champs, Sean had 0 title defenses.
Sean lost his first title defence, then had the most boring fight in recent history in a split decision win Costa, then he whined like a school girl on social media. He wanted to wait, let him wait.
@@JoeSmith-we3jw it was his first, with many believing that he did win. A close fight is enough reason for a rematch. We've seen it happen without the rematched opponent ever being champion, so title defences don't determine a rematch
@tijlsepter5551 We now have an undefeated contender who ran through Whittaker in round 1. A fight Strickland refused to take. Only his most loyal supporters will believe he deserves it over Khamzat.
Chael completely ignored Edmonton 😂
Nobody cares about flyweights 😂 except for rose losing
@@vaellanshanmuru6405no one cares about rose losing, pat barry victim
I think DDP mauls Chimaev. One thing is for certain- Chimaev ain't getting DDP out of there in the first two rounds. Chimaev will be in the world of trouble in round 3 and probably get finished. The moment Dricus smells blood he finishes you.
That’s the only chance DDP has because he hasn’t fought a wrestler like khamzat. It was impressive for ddp beating strickland and adesanya. But they’re not wrestlers. If rob was able to take ddp down then I’m certain khamzat will take him down.
Ddp made me some good money in his recent fights. I'll make 1 more bet on him vs. Chimaev

he gonna take him down smesh him like everyone else and thats it, it seems like his new way of training is giving fruits for everything on his arsenal because as you said nobody knew him better than the one coach he raised him and train him from the start
Cumshot gonna get his first L from Dricus. He has yet to face a guy like Dricus. Rob is a small MW used to be a WW. Barely squeaked a win against a lightweight burns, drew against off the couch Usman. He can’t make weight. DDP will break him and you idiots will cry

This is crazy. He knows if he mentions Khamzat we all click 😂 he says good things about Khamzat and he all like. Well done
The only times Chimaev has looked human was against elite grapplers. Against Burns, a BJJ world champion, Khamzat could not dominate on the ground - it was a dangerous area and he had to bail on ground positions a few times because of submission threats. Against Usman, he had to spent a ton of energy wrestling, but he could also not get good bang for his bucks on the positions he gained. Usman is one hell of a wrestler and even though Chimaev had an edge in that department, it wasn't enough of an edge for him to close the show. Usman has been a dominant champ, and the fact that he didn't go through a grueling camp is maybe not the disadvantage that people think - when you have chronic issues (the way Usman does with his knees), being well rested can sometimes beat 3 months of grind in camp.
Those were the only times Chimaev couldn't really impose his will in the wrestling department: against legit, highly credentialled grapplers who came up in a grappling sport, as in, not guys who learned grappling for MMA and got good at mixing things up, but specialists who will fight every detail of a grappling position.
DDP is an enormously physical guy, very strong and powerful, but I'm not sure he is technical enough of a grappler to fight off Chimaev in grappling, and Strickland is known to be a competent grappler, but he is not a guy who is in love with grappling. DDP is a tough fight, but it could easily turn out to be a mauling. Strickland might be an easy fight style-wise. They have trained together, Chimaev will know what to expect in the stand up, the pressure and the looks. Strickland's deceptively basic approach to striking will not surprise Chimaev because he's already experienced it, and he isn't the kind of guy who will suddenly develop some unorthodox stuff to throw Chimaev off his game. Grappling-wise, Strickland admitted he got mauled, and that's not the kind of skill gap that can be bridged in a training camp, especially if you are like Sean and don't love grappling. If Strickland wins the title, I very much doubt he will sign on the dotted line because he knows he's getting whopped.
You don't know Dricus Du Plessis well enough, he is an excellent grappler, he might be able to submit Khamzat himself and surprise many.
He is black belt judo bro a champ and did it since 5 years old plus he is strong so no he is not a push over in grappling
@abongiledlova477 I agree, I don't know enough of DDP grappling. It is excellent, but I am not sure it's world class.
@sylver76 Lol that's what I mean when I say it's excellent, it's good enough to submit Khamzat himself, who is claimed to be the best grappler but I disagree. You'll see what I mean when they fight eventually, because you haven't seen anything yet from Dricus.
The hype train is gonna crash against still Knox.
How can you say hype train when he just destroyed rob whittaker? Lol
@@vaellanshanmuru6405 I picked Khumzat to win against Rob... but DDP AIN'T ROB.
Honestly if you look at the fight between Robert Whittaker vs Dricus, i know Dricus will get a big problem when he face KChimaev soon. why Robert Whittaker could taken down Dricus so easy on that fight??😢, imagine if he face KChimaev's Anaconda attack skill😢😢..i even dont want to imagine it, so scary to imagine how can be happened to our life😢..BUT RESPECT TO DDP HE IS A TRUE CHAMPION, HE'S NOT SCARE TO FIGHT EVERYBODY❤
Bet ya all, DDP straight out of the bell round 1 goes for a take down on Cumshot, then beat him at his own game. Just his mentality. Aint standing back for nobody
I doubt he will do that. DDP doesn’t have the wrestling to compete with khamzat’s. But he’ll set up traps for when khamzat tries to take him down.
My Dad still says Tito Tapped
1:20 thank me later
thanks. without those coments i‘d skip half the video just to make sure😂
I'll thank you now if that's cool
Khamzat is a force to be avoided when healthy, and the biggest problem in the UFC when fighting less than 100
He's a problem when sick and a disaster when in form 3.11.24
IMO: Strickland is a harder for DDP than Khamzat, Khamzat is a harder fight for Strickland than DDP.
dricsu beats khamzat and he beats strickland. he is the real deal champion you will see. he is to much physicality and fight iq to lose to khamzat. now if khamzat had the same physicality as dricus then maybe khamzat could win but dricus is to strong and big for his wrestling to work against dricus like it does with everyone else. also gilbert burns beat khamzat i watched it back several times they robbed gilbert to allow khamzat to keep his undefeated record so the ufc can push it for views and revenue. same as how they robbed peter yan against sean o malley, peter clearly won the fight everyone saw it
😂
8:30-8:50 Honestly you have to then call out Izzy for being dumb for choosing the hardest opponents. It's just a matter of wanting a challenge and legacy that Dricus wants more man.
I haven’t started the video yet. BUT… he beats him like he beat Whittaker.
Khamzats style matches perfect with Sean’s weaknesses. He finishes him in round one. DDP is not going to be nearly as easy but I do still believe Khamzat pulls out the win via decision. Or less likely but totally possible he sub’s him.
By mauling
Easily is the answer Uncle Chael.
If he can keep the fight on the ground, he will drain DDP like Brunson did, and if his cardio can hold up, he can submit him in the third or fourth round. That's the only way he beats him.
He controls his pace and wipes him out in later rounds. I don't think Dricus can take five rounds with him, but we've got to find out what Chimaev's energy looks like now after 3. This is getting to be a turning point in Chimaev's career for how he handles the tough fights. His instinct is to jump in like a wolf and thrash and maul. Some fighters up on the top shelf can survive that and come back at you for 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th. Look at what Alex did to Khalil. That's veteran fighting. If all your stoppages are in the first round not mentioning any names something might not be what it should be. A real champion can win the tough ones.
Dricus stands firm while Strickland folds. If Chimaev can learn finesse than he might be able to successfully get DDP down....and then DDP stands back up ...
He has a lot of finesse/technique in his wrestling. I think Dricus needs to be more careful with his attacks vs Khamzat. He didn't have to worry about getting taken down in his last few fights, he will also have to be careful not to give up his back while trying to get back up on his feet.
Great question Unc. Because we all know that Khamzat switches up his game plan for each fight…
People still don't know who DDP is...Go watch Dricus submit an entire school of Gracie black belts. Back to back with virtually no rest in between opponents! . Its on UA-cam. Go Check it out. Trust me. DDP is a tank and will absolutely eviscerate Khamzat.
Lol
Then why didn't he do what Chimaev did to Whittaker.
@j.a.hernandez9742 . Well he took Whitaker down in the first round, ground and pounding him and splitting him open. The 2nd round he smashed Whitaker and TKO'd him against the cage. What more can you ask for? Khamzat only finished Robert quickly because he had an underlying weakness in his front teeth which collapsed in the choke. If Rob survived that first round the outcome would've been different. Khamzat is not that good. He is one dimensional with shit cardio. DDP is going to F him up.
@ you haters really are pathetic. Is it because he’s Muslim? What triggers you lot so much
Are they competitive black belts, or do they stock shelves for a living. That matters
Chimaev via mauling
Takedown then submission
To me this guy talks to much !!!! Keep it short and come to the POINT !!! Annoying as hell !!!
Chael has to include “juxtapose” in every video
1st round sub
Basing on "body of work" you talk about it is Sean's title opportunity
Whether DDP loses or wins but the man has got a heart.
Loved that he wants to fight the best.
Tito tapped
Can't help but think DDP will tap faster than Tito.
But did Tito really tap 😉
I tend to believe that Chimaev’s relentless wrestling pressure would eventually overcome Dricus’ defense. We may not have seen this before but he hasn’t faced a Chimaev level wrestler either.
Dricus can kiss his coach all he want, he’ll still get submitted by chimaev. There won’t be enough kisses to save him in round 1
DDP is either an incredibly tough match for Chimaev or a relatively easy one….cant decide which
I agree with uncle Chael, DDP knows Strickland brought a tough fight. He's looking to explore other options, that being Khamzat. DDP said that Khamzat hasn't seen power like his before and frankly I'd agree, DDP is huge at 185 while Chimaev has only just come up a weight class. I don't like DDP as a champion so I hope I'm wrong, however I think he's smart going for Chimaev
Now I am absolutely convinced Chael hates DDP. A champ calling out the hardest fight in the division and Chael says that's not courageous that's just foolish is crazy business and then he says if DDP beats Strickland then the fans would just have to hope they see Strickland vs Chimaev as if anyone is remotely interested in that very predictable squash fight
DDP: "If covid almost finished yiu, just think about what I will do to you!"
Khamzat: 😭
He is UNREASONABLE! How long do we have to wait for him again? Waited ONE year for his last fight!
He just does the same thing Izzy did and doesn’t get cheeky in the later rounds 😊
Izzy lost 2 rounds ..I don't think that's good advice
Khamzat isn’t a great striker tho
In a kickboxing match Izzy would destroy Chimaev. Chimaev's only chance is to wrestle DDP
DDP walks off the top dog again!
He is just a warrior Cheal. Not whatever category you make up bank robber.
Strickland can’t win any of those 2 matches. If he goes in first against Dricus, we’ll never see him fight Chimaev. Dricus beats Strickland and Chimaev beats Dricus, so where is the logic here? The only slight uncertainty is the outcome of Dricus versus Chimaev, but Chimaev will clearly be the favorite. So if you really want to see Strickland fight Chimaev, the right thing to do is to give Chimaev an immediate shot at the belt, and let him fight Strickland right after.
Chimaev beat DDP on the feet
😂😂😂😂😂
@ L
Ddp uses the high guard which will get him taken down if he uses it and if he doesn’t his defence on the feet will become worse
Let's take everything I said about Whittaker, rinse it off, and repeat it for Dricus
He'll let Khamzat take him down and wrestle until they are both tired, we've seen them both fight tired. My money is on DDP.
Dricus has much more to give. I hope the rest of the world gets the privilege to see that as well.
Whittaker should try welterweight again
They promised it to Sean man, they won’t give it to Chimaev yet. In the end it won’t matter one bit, Chimaev smashes Sean and smashes Du Plessis.
UFC needs to get on with DDP vs Strickland, I don’t care if it’s outside with lions and tigers in the African bush.
Smesh
Well he knows that its inevitable to fight Chimaev and just wants to win the mental mind game before the fight by saying he wants to fight him. You have seen this many times, it would be different if Chimaev wasnt the obvious matchup in the near future, then he would never have gone out like that and call him out.
DDP will be like nothing Khamzat ever faced before he'll be fighting somebody with a granite chin High Fight IQ Superb wrestling unorthodox wrestling Brute strength that matches or surpasses chimaev if Khamzat shoots DDP locks in darce choke or guillotine his finished and he cannot knockout ppl so it's not good for khamzat both place and once khamzat gasses after first round he'll start getting picked apart round 4 or 5 will get finished first loss dricus is the man to beat him
what are you talking about, Chimaev can't knock out people? You clerly didn't see the fight he had with Meerschaert where Khamzat knocked him out in the first 15 seconds lol
@BorderlineWarriorPrincess I saw it but DDP is leagues above those weak competition
@BorderlineWarriorPrincess khamzat got no option his glass jaw already got exposed with Gilbert burns 2 left hooks clean from DDP his finished if he shoots he'll get put in a choke and he wouldn't be able to scramble that's how powerful DDP go watch his fights he has more experience than khamzat to
@@husainaboobaker9615 I’ve watched both, DDP does have brute strength yeah but he’s awkward as fuck, and he doesn’t have much technique. He literally looks like one of the Joker’s titans from Arkham asylum the way he swings his arms round and runs forward and punches at the same time. He seems to go in and swing and gets lucky. Khamzat might not be as big or as physically strong, but in the ground game it doesn’t matter about strength and power as much as skill. He has the skill in abundance and knows where to put his weight to suffocate his opps.
@BorderlineWarriorPrincess yes that what makes him so unique he beat Whitaker Strickland and Izzy who have better technique guy does not know how to lose look at khamzat cardio he gassed after 1 round if he huffs and puffs against DDP round 2 he'll get clubbered and he will be put to sleep we've seen Khamzat be put down by guys like Burns whose much weaker than DDP burns got robbed that fight they handed the win as gift to khamzat to keep his undeafted streak it was close it was a dog fight he couldn't take burns down cause when he did round 1 he didn't like how burns twisted his arm he admitted that that's why he kept it standing if you do that with DDP go into dog fight Khamzat will get blasted and concussion he'll shoot and will be put into a standing guillotine
i think khamzat beats both of them i also think if he moves up in weight class or alex moves back down he can beats alex too
To simply put it, he doesn’t beat Dricus. Hulle Weet Nie Wat Ons Weet Nie. Dricus will hand cumshot his first L. Everyone has doubted the Boer every single time and he has always proven them wrong.
Borz > Boer sorry lil buddy
Didn’t Rob have a takedown on DDP? If so I honestly think khamzat is just gonna do the same thing to ddp just not as easily. I believe that khamzat will outstrike ddp and every time ddp goes in for his blitz if he even does in this fight Khamzat will just shoot and get the takedown. I honestly think khamzat will win the belt via uppercut tho but that’s a whole different thing, that’s my hot take lol
Very interesting take. I think DDP is a better striker but maybe the takedown threat will counter the blitz. But DDP has a good chin, if chimaev doesn't submit him early do you think his cardio will hold up to DDP's?
@@dwaasda1379I think DDPs way of attacking is based on that he usually doesn't have to worry about getting taken down. Lots of blitzes, body kicks, high kicks, leaping with punches etc, all risky things vs an elite wrestler. About the cardio, DDP will also have moments where he's gassed, especially if he has to explode and use his power to get out of bad spots on the ground. If two guys grapple, and one is on top, the guy on the bottom usually wastes more energy having to carry his weight, taking ground and pound damage, etc. I predict they both will be tired if Dricus survives 1 or 2 rounds of heavy grappling exchanges.
JRE say..... if missed a choke.... caught his jaw, pressure still breaks it easier.
By submission
Chimaev should definitely win , but DDP has plot armour though.
DDP the champion got his title shot from beating Rob
Before seeing the video, double leg takedown and relentlessness. The name shouldn't be only 'wolf', should be starving wolf, because he surely fights like one.
As a Chael fan this is a terrible argument by Chael, everyone including Chael talk about the qualities of true MMA warriors including taking any fight and asking for any fight and how awesome those folks are vs people that duck opponents. Then here Chael says DDP is picking Chimaev because he’s stupid or because he thinks he’s the easier fight…😵💫. Which is it do real champs and fighters take easy roads or not? Is padding records a good thing or not? Did Chael change his mind or is he not authentic? I get it it that Chael is a pragmatist and mostly gives us that opinion, but its odd hearing him support conflicting fighter mindsets. DDP is either honest about wanting the tough fight or he just wants to play the part while knowing a bunch of factors can cancel the fight or that UFC wanting to do Strickland rerun first. No one likes a flip flop
