I know DDP is awkward. But I think Chimaev's wrestling will be too much. Only way I see it playing out is Chimaev getting the W. If he can make it to the fight lol

Let me preface this with the fact chimaev winning in the first round would not shock me. After that statement, I really think the fight will be 8.5 minutes of dricus on the ground surviving, but if he can hit that 9 minute mark just like vs the old hammerhouse guys back in the 90s, I think he will straight drown khamzat with cardio. I predict ddp via submission due to khamzat exhausted in round 4 or 5.
Either way, no judges scorecards.

since Chimaev is with coach Cal now I think his conditioning will be fantastic

DDP definitely looks beatable at times but is a grinder and doesn't wilt. But a full on healthy and ready Khamzat in the first is gonna be hell on wheels. I've come around on his Whittiker win and now think it was because his teeth were already fucked and Khamzat placed that forearm just right for the quick tap. Still. Good win though. Let's see, Usman went three and was coming on, and Gil went three in a back and forth. I think DDP can at least do that. DDP via Dec
