DDP glazers are cooked, that boy got put in a crucifix 4 times 😆

2 things can be true. Khamzat was dominate and the fight was boring. If it was so exciting it would’ve won fight of the night.

Not a casual. That was a boring wrestling match, and not fascinating in the slightest.

"You don't like to watch a 5 round wrestling match, you're just a casual"

As a grappler, I loved that fight. Very technical.

That was a boring ass fight.

Whittaker gets it lol. It was an amazing display of superiority against a scrappy and strong challenger, i hope all casuals stop watching

Good points

Casuals is what pay the bills

For a casual fan it was boring. For a solid fan it was boring as well. Why? Because it was a 1 sided dominance. It wasn't even a fight. It literally felt like when I used to fight with my dad as a 9yo! What the haters wont mention that this was a TITLE FIGHT, and they're saying it didn't live up for the expectation and the blame goes to Khamzat! Well, what about the champ? This whole camp he knew Khamzat grappling is elite, and he couldn't adjust, heck, he couldn't stand up most of the fight. This was an absolute case of a beatdown! And the only ONLY reason Khamzat didn't win by TKO or a Submission is because of DDP strength and grit. I would put my whole life that any other fighter in the same class weight would've been submitted or KO’d by the 2nd or 3rd round. Props to DDP for showing heart. Fight was boring cuz it was 1 sided. But to me it showed the difference in CLASS when it comes to MMA!

Thanks Rob, the casuals will never understand.

It’s casuals who pay your bills Robert. We paid to see mma not a wrestling match

> we just saw someone get crucifixed for 15 minutes Call me a casual, but look at when Valentina Shevchenko put her opponent to a crucifix for a way shorter time. She inflicted serious damage, because she dared to risk losing the position. This is what the casuals complain about. If you are so confident in your ground game, you shouldn't safe play it.

Very common Bobby W

I hate this argument. Its fucking stupid. Two things can be true at the same time, Cumshot was super dominant, it was impressive, but it ALSO was boring as fuck. They aren't mutually exclusive...

"hE HeLd hIM dOWn fOr 25 MInUtEs" DDP let himself be held down for 25 minutes, the objective is to win, that's how you get paid They aren't fighting to help you hit your parley🤷

Common Bobby Knuckles W.

The fight was epic! It was extremely impressive and fun to watch. All these casual idiots criticizing Khamzat no nothing about fighting. DDP is a very big and strong opponent, it is not easy to control and dominate him for five rounds like that.

Witness it in person and I loved it! Couldn't believe how dominating it was, never thought I'd see that against a guy like DDP

I’d be embarrassed to say I had someone in the crucifix for the majority of the fight and they don’t even have a scratch on their face

UFC needs to introduce new rules that encourage progressive wrestling. 5 rounds of dominance and barely any submission attempts what’s the point of having “control” ??

I’ve been watching longer than Robert has been training, and I am no casual and that was just not entertaining. Sure Khamzat is good at what he does, but it’s boring.

To the wrestling haters

Couldn’t agree more 👏

It wasn’t that fascinating, Dricus had his legs together like a damn penguin, and didn’t do anything other than focus on not giving up his back or getting mounted.

What % of people who are calling others casuals for not enjoying the fight will go back to re-watch that fight for entertainment value or even tape study?

One of the best fights I have seen in my life, Khamzat Chimaev, to be honest, is very, very strong, no one can keep up with him. DDP is very strong, physically stronger than Khamzat. Khamzat played with him for five rounds as if he was a puppet. It is unbelievable. DDP, to be honest, was fierce and strong and gave everything he had, but he faced the terrifying hurricane Khamzat Chimaev. What a fighter.

this is elite-level violence. control like that is terrifying if you actually understand what you’re watching. casuals want blood, real ones bet on suffocation

Well, they are morons. Simple as that. Retarded fucking morons.

Perfectly said

I agree, it was extremely impressive

He’s entitled to his opinion as I am of in the opinion that he’s still salty DDP ran through him easily. 🤷🏻♂️

It’s a combat sport, Chimaev showed no initiative to finish the fight or damage Dricus, yes it is impressive he did this to Dricus but it doesn’t mean it’s not boring.

@robwhittakermma Saw you fight at the Luna Park big top and have watched UFC religiously since 1996. Far from a "casual". The fight sucked as a sporting spectacle, and the truth is more likely - that only obsessed MMA nerds saw it otherwise. Grapple-heavy MMA is not exciting.

@THATBOYMMAGURU are you causal potato 🥔?
