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

Given how beatable Khamzat is on the feet, I do. Dricus only needs to be able to keep it on the feet a couple of minutes total and he could finish Khamzat. And we learned from Arman that Khamzat wanted to strike with DDP, so it's not impossible that he'll even let DDP stand more than he should just for funsies, which is likely a terrible mistake

The problem is that no one except world class grapplers has shown any ability to keep it on the feet vs Khamzat. You may as well just throw a flying knee at this point.
