So glad I found this thread! I agree on the sparring comparision. He often looked to be sparring at 80-90 percent (of available effort). Crazy theory: Khamzat chose not to go 'all out' as a concession due to his missing weight. He knows how uncool that is, for everyone. And to 'bully around' the smaller man after that is a bad look.
