Takedown in 8 seconds... DDP did well to defend the crucifix, but thats about it - got up late in the round, and immediately taken down again. Utter domination by Chimaev.
What a crazy round. Rarely seen a fighter completely defenseless like that before. Great job by DDP to survive that.
That went a few levels below as bad as it could for ddp because on top of being dominated chimaev spent relatively very little energy.
I was right in my assessment that Usman and Burns likely are far better on the ground than DDP. The man is completely lost here. Cant stuff a takedown, cant get back up.
The corner cam is hilarious. Chimaev looks like the one who spent the entire round on the ground, defending.
