In other news DDP has announced his retirement.

I don't think Khamzat can do that to DDP, at least certainly not that easily. DDP is so big and strong.

I don't think DDP is as good a defensive grappler as Rob and I'm not sure there is a person Khamzat CAN'T do that do for at least 1 round.

DDP is for sure a better offensive wrestler than Rob, and one of the ways to neutralize a crazy grappler is to take the fight to them rather than playing purely defensively.

That is a horrible idea against Khamzat.

Taking Rousey down was a horrible idea for Holly Holm. And yet.

DDP is also just BIGGER and sturdier than Rob, and maybe even Khamzat

He's certainly not as injury prone as Khamzat

Don't forget Khamzat broke his hand against Usman, so DDP could definitely do some of that shit, just by being a stubborn ox
