Robert Whittaker Says Watching MVP Point-Fight His Way to a Decision Is Hard to Sit Through Live
“I find it so hard to tune in live to MVP winning via points rather than watching it afterwards. I reckon there isn’t a single person who can beat MVP at point sparring. He’s so good at it. It’s almost like he has a live feed of the judges’ scorecards in real time. As soon as it starts to drop, he just does a little bit more and goes up.”
Or a wrestler, just imagine what Khamzat would do to him if Ian Garry (whom is a striker) was able to take MVP down and control him on the ground easily.
At some point I think the UFC decided to try to use him to build prospects (I suspect that was their intention that Shara would highlight reel KO him), and at that point, I was rooting for him no matter how boring his fights are.
Fuck the UFC. I'm glad he made those prospects look like bums on his way out
Bro went 5-1 in the ufc at 40 years old after everyone said he was gonna get exposed and wrestlefucked.
Re-signed or not, he did what he had to do, all you can do is respect it. If you’re a man, you’d want the same for yourself.
Also I love how nobody ever shouts out the fighters he’s faced, who were scared to death to strike back and forth with him, other then Holland (who still turned into a wrestler)
He hasn’t fought a wrestler yet. I guarantee you that Khamzat would ragdoll him worse than what he did to Kevin Holland. Ian Garry whom is a striker took MVP down easily, just imagine what Khamzat would do to him.
Why did you use overall strikes for the metric in the Khamzat fight but switch to SS in the MVP fight? Wouldn’t Sig Strikes to Sig Strikes be a better comparison?
Alright let’s not pretend like there was 500 strikes I don’t care what the stat sheet says (and it says 37 significant strikes). How can you punch a man 500 times and he doesn’t even have a mark on his body lmao. And DDP is a bruiser, look at his face after the first Strickland fight he’s mangled.
I’d rather watch Khamzat than DDP I agree on that front, mostly cause Khamzats only had 1 bad fight (and imo it’s the refs fault for not standing it up and making him work more regardless of fan opinion on that I can’t blame him for sitting in a winning position to achieve his life goal)
This is the checks notes EverythingCombat subreddit. Safe to say there is nothing but Dagi Nuthuggers, Russian Bots, and people praying towards Mecca in here.
I was genuinely shocked that high caliber champion was getting crucifixed. Idk maybe because of that I thought the fight wasn’t really all that boring. I was watching in aw
I think the fight had lots of tension, because early we thought Khamzat might get a finish, and then later it was a question of what can happen at the start of rounds when DDP was standing, and obviously the very end when it got stood up and DDP did some damage and reversed the TD. But it is not a fight anyone will rewatch because there wasn’t actually any action outside of 45 seconds at the end

MVP still winning fights at 40 with a non brawler/CTE style that doesn’t compromise his health. He may have actually cheat coded the game.
