This will be the toughest challenge to date for Dricus. Although Khamzat is Not from dagistani, his wrestling is of the same quality.


Besides that, his striking is very good and he is physically very strong like Dricus.


Dricus will have to be at the top of his game, to beat this guy. But I am positive he can do it, but it will be really tough.

I agree M

His toughest fight yet, and he needs to get ot of the 1st round unscathed, then it's DDP all the way.

If this goes to the ground, DDP is no slouch, but it would probably favour Khamzat, but I refuse to write off DDP in any fighting going forward

Burns showed us that it is possible to beat Khamzat, and I actually thought Burns won that fight.

So guys the time For Dricus,s fight is upon us….again Dricus and the Boks are on the same day:)


I think it will bring luck against Khamzat who is a strong fighter.


But my prediction is Dricus who is a Skilled tough South African Warrior, will pull it thru!


Go Dricus and Go Boks!!

Ok guys the Boks were taught a Rugby lesson so I really hope Dricus can do it for us!


Does anyone know of a live stream for the fight?

Khamzat is just a much better wrestler and Dricus got dominated. That was embarrassing. What next for Dricus?


He says he will be back stronger….I think he needs to go and learn wrestling with Khabieb Nurgamadov. Then he will stand a chance again.


Dagestani wrestlers are even better than Russian Wrestlers like Khamzat. So quite a disappointing weekend for SA. Hopefully we will do better next time.

When we lost to the Ozzies yesterday, I had a shitty feeling about the DDP fight.


Meh...wrestling is so boring. You just hang on the guy.


DDP's takedown defence was basically non-existent. Took KC all of 5 seconds to take him down in the first round.


Oh well, at least DDP is wealthy now and put us on the map.

Yeah wrestling is boring but a big part of MMA. DDP needs that Wrestling training desperately.


The crucifix takedown was bad and repeatedly getting bashed in the head. It’s difficult to believe Khamzat is just so much stronger than DDP??


Well we will see what happens in the future, but after that loss, it will be a bloody long trip home!


One thing that really pissed me of about DDP was how cocky he was before the fight.


Saying that there was no way that Khamzat will beat him, he will bring him back to earth and teach him a lesson. Even saying that he will pay $10 000 per takedown if Khamzat is able to.


Khamzat took him down 12 times, so he owes him $ 120 000:)


I do think that DDP can possibly make his way back, but he needs to be humble and go train with Khabieb Nurgamadov, for atleast a Year or Two.


That is the ONLY way I think he will beat him and regain the title.

I heard DDP got R50 million for this fight......great if he did

Not bad at all for 25 minutes work

It was a horrible boring fight, and I can understand why so many people around the globe are so pissed that Khamzat won, because they are mostly all saying the same thing, Khamzat could be a very boring champion.....basically just hanging on to all his future opponents

Well done Khamzat, he schooled DDP, who got crucifixed in all 5 rounds.....bloody madness.

That was the most boring fight I have ever watched..... and most people are saying the same thing, even while congratulating Khamzat....

Well if you look at Khabieb he mainly used wrestling to win his fights. If you can nullify the wrestling skills, and fight standing up, a good striker will win a Khamzat or Khabieb.


That is the secret with these Russian and Dagestani fighters.They are not exceptional strikers.

It's the reason that MMA will always be behind boxing for me.


The sweet science is just sweet.


Damn, I'd love to at the Canelo fight. I've been to a few high profile fights in Europe, but nothing compares to Vegas. Nobody does a show like the Yanks do.


I wonder if there's still time to apply for refugee status ;)
