I'm a Dricus fan, but I see a skid incoming

u/HankHippopopolous Meth beats Hentai 2d ago

Possibly. Once a blueprint on how to beat you is out there other fighters will then try it too.

Remember back to the Brunson fight how easily he took Dricus down. Dricus still managed to win because Brunson gassed out and then Dricus took over later in the fight.

Dricus hasn’t fought a wrestler since then and it seems he has made almost no improvements to his take down defence.

As long as his delusional coach is also taking the same humble approach Dricus is then he should be able to make big improvements. However he needs to get in actual high level wrestlers to improve. He’s not going to get to the level he needs to get to with the same guys he’s been working with. Their wrestling knowledge is clearly not good enough.

But who else can chain wrestle like Khamzat?

Judging from what we saw, anybody with a decent wrestling is gonna toss DDP around.

If Bo Nickal can learn some striking he'd probably manhandle DDP too

Bro. Khamzat manhandles everybody in the ground except anybody with jiu jitsu threat. Dont forget Dricus got up every time against Whittaker/Brunson

No other fighter in MW, even LHW, can do to Dricus what Khamzat did.
