Am a desk worker now but wrestling is the hardest thing i did and it just saps the life out of you. Dricus has a crazy heart to impose his wrestling will on izzy and smoke him. There is lucky Ko's but there are no lucky submisions and there is no mistake dricus is the best. ALso he's build like an Ox and strong af. Im not sure who can beat him in middle weight

They are a credit to their culture and families always respectful of opponents, Dricus is cut from the same cloth despite severe provocation from some opponents he does his talking in the ring and accords his opponents respect.
      Im hoping the UFC gets more champions like these men who can be a good influence on the people following them. As Dricus said sport has the power to bring people together and it would be a shame to waste that opportunity

      Izzy is 100% faster than Rob. Are U crazy? lol. Izzy wins. Easily. Dricus takes too many risks on the feet. That’s when guys get finished by Izzy. Pereira, Whittaker, Gastelum(not a finish but nearly), Costa, Brunson, they all took risks and paid dearly. The way to beat Izzy is elite timing and by picking your shots. Strickland did that. Dricus doesn’t fight that way. I think this is an easy win for Izzy. He’s gonna catch Dricus with something nasty coming in.

    seems to be a close fight, the thing is, ddp is an upgraded version of whittaker, he has a style similair to whittaker with the random blitz, he will be hard to catch, he also has a granite chin unlike whittaker who dances everytime hes hit. i doubt izzy can win by ko or tko. i say dricus takes a decision. adesanya has terrible jabs, he swings wide hooks and leans back. him getting hit with someone who can throw straight jabs and punches ( strickland ) gives him terrible fights, adesanya gets outwrestled by basically everyone whos ever thrown a takedown against him. ddp by decision.

Israel has lost what 3 of his last 4 or 5 fights. That suggests to me that he is past his best...which does not mean he cannot beat Drickus. The problem always comes when a person's heart is not in it anymore. It does not matter how much or how hard you train, if you dont want to fight, its over. You can talk a big game, but do you really believe what you are saying ? We will see who really wants to win this fight !
