When this matchup first was announced, my first thought was "bet the house on Khamzat". His speed, intensity and takedown skills will overwhelm the slower DDP. As time moved on and others have weighed in, I am surprised on how many favor DuPlessis. Questions about Chimaevs' gastank for 5 rounds (DDP gets tired too), or striking ability are brought up. All fair points. As far as the eyeball test goes, DDP has beaten Strickland twice and an old Izzy. Both guys good matchups for DDP, no takedown danger from either and all fights were tough, Izzy might have been ahead when he got subbed. Borz has destroyed everyone. Burns was competitive, but he was broken in the end.
Much of handicapping comes down to "feel", those who are right win. I feel we will see the best Khamzat yet. Hes had some roadblocks in the past and this is his time. I like DDP. Hes a good guy, respectful and likeable. Hes good for the UFC, unfortunately hes gonna be second best on Saturday, in my humble opinion.
So many times, Ive had a strong feel and been talked out of winning bets. Not this time.
Chimaev -195 strong play Not the house, but maybe the back shed.

Agreed, seems like everyone in the world is picking DDP, yet some how the odds keep going the opposite direction. This fight will be over in two rounds.
