► Chael Opinion Singing on the Dricus of the Plessing vs. Chimaev
“In the history of Chimaev's hit, there was a moment – a blow – connected by Gilbert Burns. The blow entered, and Chimaev fell to his knees. He got up immediately. He won the standing fight, which was an instant classic, colossally hard and at odds. And against Kamaru Usman – who manages well everywhere, and was even in conversations to box against Canelo – Chimaev won the fighting fight. That blow of Gilbert has made people think that they can't hitbut that is not what the history demonstrates. ”
Dricus has much more understanding and experience if we compare it with pure boxing or kickboxing. Which one would you act better in that environment? Dricus But that means that you can beat Chimaev in an exchange of MMA's blows? Very different. Chimaev is ugly, like a street fighter. It hits you just to enter and do clinch, which would be a foul in boxing, but in MMA it works. Keep connecting blows, continues to throw a lot, still have power and keep aiming directly at the face.
I don't ask if they simply stand up. I am asking if they are standing in a MMA fight. Are you sure Dricus is better? That is the question.
