UFC 319 Live Discussion - Sat 8/16

DDP is a stubborn son of a gun, I thought one of last crucifixs would be it, and I also thought he was gonna pull off the greatest come from behind finish in history at the very end, ha. But that was crazy to see. Just couldn't get space and away. I actually think Costa would have way done way better than Dricus. Hope Khamzat stays relatively active.
 
ddp was helpless for 99% of the fight
first 4 rounds shoulda been 10-8 "overwhelming domination"
some will say chim did no damage, thats untrue, he did just enough- the standups were bullshit
kham mostly just used gravity, he didnt need superhuman cardio
trips and weight distribution
compared to khams competetive fights, ddps wrestling sucks

if youre looking for an epo machine, thats fluffer
 
A lot more cope than I thought with Khamzat winning. Yes it’s fair to have wanted more damage and a sub finish but DDP despite having no resistance to getting taken down and giving dominant position did well to fight the RNC and back hooks. But for someone whose only chance was to get the finish when 2 rounds, I thought Khamzat showed the IQ to not blow his wad and give up position. If the finish was there, it was there, if it didn’t come, keep the position. Pretty standard.
This level of cope is a sight to behold.
 
Khamzat will have a short lived reign. Fluffy or Caio will take him out. Khamzat has gone full wet blanket status, taking us back to the LnP era of cheap wins. Zero mustard on his gnp, happy to just HOLD another man’s nuts for 5 rounds to decision. Came into the game with explosiveness and quick finishes, has devolved into a play it safe blanket who gives the fans the most BORING fight of recent history. That was worse than the WMMA fights on the card. Imagine if Khabib had only held McGregor down? There would have been no substance to the win, instead Khabib stood and banged with McGregor and got the better of the exchanges, then humbled him on the ground, and then FINISHED HIM. Those hundreds of baby taps by Khamzat looked so fkn weak! Khamzat won’t be Champion for long now that the world knows he has weak af gnp. His only threat is wrestling and submissions, even Gilbert Burns was whooping that ash in the stand up, had him wobbly. Usman was coming on strong at the end of a 3 round fight, imagine if he had 2 more rounds to work on a gassed Khamzat? Even DDP landed 2.5 strikes in the 30 seconds he was standing and hurt Khamzat. Khamzat is a 1 trick pony, that trick is not going to last forever!! As he ages and those knees get older, arthritis sets in, and those takedowns get slower.. someone is going to Masvidal his ash into space!! Boring ash Khamzat.
