I'll be different and say that I think DDP will win the fight against Khamzat. No one thought if Merab Dvalishvili could win against Umar Nurmagomedov, I was one of the few ones who placed a bet on Merab and used the advantage of very high odds and that day we say that Merab not only beat Umar but he owned him, he humiliated him.
DDP's greatest advantage is that he is unpredictable, fight against him looks like a fight against someone you've never met before. He is a type of fighter that, as Dana White said, fights like a white man dances.
I don't consider Merab vs Umar and Khamzat vs DDP to be the same and I don't think they have the same skills. MW is in the hands of a few untalented fighters. Almost all of them are strikers and weak strikers and their wrestling and bjj skills are very weak. DDP's only advantage is his physical qualities and conditioning. DDP is no better than a bar brawler except for his physical qualities and conditioning. Also, just because something is unpredictable doesn't make it valuable in my opinion. I think the rational is more valuable than the irrational. I am much happier watching complete fighters like Charles Oliviera, Islam and Khamzat.

But before this, Dricus will open again the crack on his upper lip first heheheheh. This Khamzat is very headshaking because he act like he is a gangster.
DDP told to one of his fan on Twitter that if you kiss a crocodile you will be like Khamzat. :)
DDP does quality trashtalk but when I think of lips, I think of him kissing his coach on the lips. :)
Khamzat may kiss him after a takedown. :)
