@@Wolfpackmm I think Khamzat is the betting favorite but I’d take Dricus. Khamzat will likely be at both a strength and cardio disadvantage. His grappling is next level though so who knows.
@ryanlund5303 I will disagree with the strength part. I think dricus probably has better cardio but khamzat might actually be even stronger than Dricus on the first 2 rounds atleast. I believe dricus has striking and cardio on his side while khamzat has wrestling and strength on his side. To me that fight will be insane. I will be on my feet the whole time
@ Yeah, I agree Khamzat would likely have that 2-3 round window where his grappling is dominant to close out the fight. If he gets in a slugfest like he did vs Burns against DDP he’s done. Seems like a crazy entertaining fight either way
tbh islam is a very big light weight n bigger than most of welter weight if not all. islam n khabib are constantly being called weight bullies due to their walk around weight outside of camp are always pushing nearly 200. with khabib now being 210 n islam is bigger than belal who walk around weight it 185 n belal is a pretty strong guy with belal stating islam n khabib ragdolls him in camp. if u see islam outside of camp he easily weighs 195-200 n depending if he make that big weight jump all that weight will be pure muscle in 185 n he'll be stronger than da lower top 10 guys until prob 7-6 but w his amazing control n positioning the strength disadvantage wont be a huge problem until he go against khamzat, ddp, n caio who 2/3 are huge middle weights n one is amazing at wrestling
@Mr.D1Crashout I agree bro, according to the new Islam pushes 240 for deadlifts. But my only concern is top 5 middle weights. Guys like khamzat, ddp and imavov are huge. I still think islam is more skilled than them overall but but would be able to handle the press them just moving forward. One lower rank guy that could be problem is Paulo Costa who barely makes middleweight and has fought lightheavyweight previously. But islam could actually surprise me and maybe completely dominate everyone who knows. If he manhandled belal in sparring, he might even do the same to ddp let's say
Moster welterweights are 200+ off season. Battle is like 210 for example. When he has to start the cut he has to be around 195. When Islam has to start he stays around 179 180. That's proper. Ain't nothing wrong with that. The weight bullying argument is such BS. If you can make the weight then kudos to you. Charles has even more insanely tough weight cuts. People rarely would call him a weight bully. Max Holloway himself has been around 200 lbs off season. Never called him a weight bully. Why is it that the Dagestani's are always the ones so quickly judged as weight bullies. And it's a BS argument. If you can make the weight. Its GG. If you constantly can't. Then move up. Simple as that.
@TheDaily_Viral I agree with that assessment. I think there is some Anti Dagestani sentiment going on in the thinking. It's probably because they are just much better than most fighters
DDP is simply too large
@ryanlund5303 I agree and he is tough as well. It will a task for anyone to finish DDP. Dude just keeps coming
@ryanlund5303 what do you think about Khamzat vs DDP if that ever happens?
