That knee on belly at the end looks like a fucking horrible place to be in.

Those two suck on the ground. Any OGer could whoop them.

Jokes but I bet they would have some entertaining go’s if they rolled live.

And agree with the others. Khaz’s movement is super slick and tight. Great athlete.

You can tell he’s got strength like a Gibbon monkey

His last fight against that Kiwi bloke startled me for a second! Looked like he was gonna stand and trade with him before getting that first take down.

Where does this hype come from?

He was a world champ at blue and purple.

:rofl:

American world champ in bjj at any belt colour is a seriously high level of grappling.

Luke said this about it
“It was literally one week away before I was supposed to fight Joe Schilling in a kickboxing match. Then Khamzat came in and they’re trying to get me to go [grapple] with him. He ended up going with me and he pulled guard and went for leg locks. I expected him to wrestle with me but they edited it to make it look like I submitted. He didn’t get me with anything…He gave up on the armbar and that was it. It wasn’t exactly the cleanest edit. People should edit things right."

:man_shrugging:

Even taking the edit into account, its impressive. Lukes bjj relys on a heavy top game. A wrestler dropping for heel hooks is his bread and butter.

Khamzat looked quick with unrelenting pressure. Could he do it for 5 rounds though? I doubt it.

DDP fight on paper looks like a foty candidate for me.

I think I heard on the Jaxxon podcast Luke complain he’d been rolling for awhile and Kmat walked in fresh and cameras were there so it felt like a bit of a set up to be exploited but who knows the truth outside of that room. Kmat is a proven beast in bursts. Luke’s great but he’s on the back nine and I’ve never heard him ever give anyone their flowers. And that’s coming from a fan.
