Does anyone agree that Nate would have lasted longer than Kevin against Chimaev?

Nah Khamzat would've finished him within 30 seconds. I can see going unconscious with a rear naked choke. He wouldn't be rolling and escaping Khamzat's takedowns like Holland did (well, he tried to do it)

Khazmat would’ve crushed Diaz too. Maybe second round I though. That said Diaz bjj better than Hollands, IMO.

Holland would dominate Nate even on the ground. To much of a size and strength difference

Lol. Y’all crazy. Diaz ground game dangerous. He just likes to stand to much and isn’t great wrestler. Haha. Idk. Maybe he lost a step over the years but seeing where most stand I’d definitely throw a little on Diaz..especially in bjj. <3

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 465 Points   |   Tied for 1681st

I argue that the same with Holland, Bad Wresler, but great jiu-jitsu, And like to stand and bang

But I do still think Nate has better jiu-jitsu, He has 10 submission in the UFC,  Charles Oliveria has 15 and a few other have 11, To have 10 subs is great, And he did sub Ferguson

I agree. Definitely similar in that way. Holland has more weapons standing with kicks and athleticism but I believe Nate’s BJJ is cleaner and more polished. Who knows what version of him shows up but he’s got a lot of subs off his back vs solid grapplers too. I know he’s gotten away from it but I think he at his best is a more dangerous jujitsu player. But that’s just like my opinion man…

Swain is right  and you're all ********.

Holland is not the Judoka that Diaz is, and he's also straight up not the same calibre of fighter.

Why do you guys overrate Nate so much. I don’t get it. He’s been outgrappled so many times. I don’t think he could get Holland down anyway

 Because we watched his whole career, not just the last year you've been an mma fan. 


Edit: I’m not sure he’d get him down either. Question was who had better bjj.

Predictions: 5 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 355 Points   |   Tied for 3440th

I'd be down for Chimaev v. Vettori or Costa. Khamzat would kill Sean Brady, I don't really see a point to that one, especially if they want to keep building up Brady (I should also mention I think he's gonna lose to Belal Muhammad and will need a rebound win). 


If Chimaev is still capable of making WW and is able to do so without hurting his health, I would pit him against Geoff Neal. If he wins that fight he can fight the winner of Edwards-Usman III. However, I don't want to see dude at WW again. But Uncle Dana will probably forgive him and give him a second chance at WW.
