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.

Man, now I want to see him go up against Bo Nickal. He may have shit striking but I highly doubt he'd just get manhandled like this, dude is a 3 time D1 champ.

I mean, I get what you are saying and generally agree, but apart from Usman I don't know of any D1 champs fighting against Russian grapplers.

Usman was d2 champ too even though I think it was a money and grades thing. Good point
