Do you guys see a universe where he’s able to improve enough for a competitive rematch? Or is he kind of just going to have to chill as the near #1 contender and hope someone else beat khamzat
Because that fight showed an ocean of a skill gap when it comes to grappling
Definitely can. He showed ability to escape and scramble at times in the 5th. It's a lot due to his high guard that Khamzat can get so deep. Khamzat ragdolls everyone in the ground but he never ever likes full guard kind of positions. I've heard a rumour he was arm barred in a gym in Sweden years years ago and had got serious damage, which is why as soon as Burns attempted one Khamzat backed out. All dricus needed was a better ability of breaking the body lock and doing better at bring his guard back when in side control.
The only time he managed to escape and scramble is when the ref gifted him bullshit standups.
Yes Dricus only needs to "bring his guard back in side control" even though Khamzat just sliced through his guard without effort and it wasn't even a factor in the fight. Fighting sounds so simple when it's delusional fanboys talking about it.
