If you look back it was Izzy who took the words DDP said to heart and took it personal about the "real African" champion. Fair to say there's a history of colonialism and apartheid but that's not the way DDP meant it, but it's how Izzy took with racist undertones. Izzy then decided to make things personal with his parents at the presser crying and playing the victim once again, looking to be antagonized but as we saw after the fight DDP was nothing but gracious and respectful. Izzy had no other choice but to humble himself. This is what happens when someone can't backup their words. The only play was to focus on the bigger picture "This was a victory for Africa" rather than "Tonight I reminded everyone how great I am." it was "He was the better man tonight." instead of "I told you I'd kill his dreams on Saturday night." DDP was incredibly gracious in victory, if Izzy were to win I believe the victory celebration and speech would've been quite different.
He'd shoot for the takedowns immediately and he'd either get it or not. Izzy could take him down even though the size difference and he has a pretty weak chin at MW. I still think he'd be the favourite but it wouldn't be a one-sided fight at all, Pereira has insane power but DDP also has it.
This guy has beat 3 former world champions in a row and defended his belt. He has earned respect.
Dricus stood with Izzy and knocked him to the ground before deploying the submission. That’s a complete fighter.
This guy earned my respect as a fan, he is the real champ he fight anyone he just don't give a fuck.
What’s taken you so long?
@@mattsjoelfernandes9132 Cus i din't know him so well
@@mattsjoelfernandes9132 Fake news from the media.
8:45 the alex question
He's a sharp guy.

Wakanda forever
DDP recognised that Rob is yet again getting shafted.. Legend!
Tbf Sean was robbed
@@khayree7929 indeed. Strickland was robbed
@@khayree7929Close fight doesn't equal robbed, there weren't 3 proper rounds won for any of the fighters, this could have literally gone both ways
@@MrJojoringo even in a close fight there’s still be a clear winner. If it could’ve gone either way then that means it’s a draw at best.
@@khayree7929 There's no draw if there's no point deduction, we're not in boxing, this is mma
sent izzy back to the kennel
Hope not.
He was losing until he got the submission lol
@@JorgeGarcia-zm4hs but finishing him was always a part of the plan lol
Didn’t ask kid
Woof woof 😂😂😂
i couldnt watch the fight so the title got me trippin thinking adesanya won. change the title ffs.
Thank God Dricus won! 💯
Izzy would have been so insufferable if he won.
he had an entire world tour of gloating planned.
Correct
whew, you're right. Close one
No he didn't lol people just love hating the dude for no reason
@daboihimself6650 no reason?
@@daboihimself6650There’s lots of reasons. Calling people racial slurs is only one of many.
Your new king of trash talk and YOUR, middleweight champion. I hope Rob gets the shot about whooping Khamzat
The wolf is gonna eat him alive.
Impressive, I thought dricus was gassed till those blows to the take down wow
DDP is the Lion King.
I actually would rather see him fight the winner of Rob vs Khamzat
Khamzat hasn’t fought a top middleweight yet 😂
yall clapped for izzy but not ddp🤔
Its called black privilege
Wait for UFC South Africa
Australians rugby team just got humiliated by the South African team just yesterday ,so they were Still hurting 😂
@@charliedlamini1671 Ah that makes sense. I forgot the rugby was on
@@charliedlamini1671well said you are correct 😂😂
Pereira vs Duplessis will be wild
He beat the best Izzy in Izzys whole career. Straight beast
He should not fight alex. Bad matchup for him
Alex would love to continue avoiding Magomed but DDP would submit him
I agree with that at 185 for sure shit idk bout 205 but shit dricus look 220-225 on fight night
@@tarzanstricklandhe was trying to fight him but he wanted to dictate where the fight would be. Also how do you know DDP would submit him???
Y'all said the same thing abt his matchup with Whittaker, infact some of u were literally laughing at that matchup
Alex cutting that much weight to try and beat ddp is a bad idea
17:54 🔥✨
Quoting madiba like a ledge
What the hell? Denis and Kac didn’t get to ask a question. Both homies should have the John Morgan position.
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Dricus Du Plessis is himself with fear, and making excuses not to fight Alex Pereira!
Guys keep an eye on Kenny Okeyo. He ain’t looking so good rn.
"come back to this video when Izzy wins"🤓
Sent the Dogbender back to cry with his servants.
DDP vs. Whittaker
You've living under a rock? DDP already k.o whittaker
onya
Dricus just freed the slaves..
White treatment yet again
DDP beat a proven PED user… in a spectacular fashion.
Izzy crying back to his dog
Made Izzy cry then subbed him legend
He’s afraid of Strickland.
Alex leg kicks would destroy him let alone the left hook
You probably just found out who Alex is. Go away
@@youmustmonthebiff Hate to break it to you, but Alex doesn't know or care who you are and never will.
He'd shoot for the takedowns immediately and he'd either get it or not. Izzy could take him down even though the size difference and he has a pretty weak chin at MW. I still think he'd be the favourite but it wouldn't be a one-sided fight at all, Pereira has insane power but DDP also has it.
@@youmustmonthebiff😂😂😂😂😂
DDP will die against Alex if he tries to blitz lmao
pls make hypocrite Strickland cry again
He lost to Strickland
@@Philotheist777when did that happen?
So trots op jou Dricus!!! Nou weet hy hoe n boer moer!
My guy quoted madiba 😢
get him alex
