South Africans never doubt South Africans. Dricuss is about to shock the world but not us South Africans. In our mind he is already the middleweight Champion.
Such a level headed dude. Makes perfect sense how he explains that Sean is great and all that but he absolutely has no say in saying where the moral line needs to be drawn
Sean is battling demons or something. Always claims he DGAF but gets triggered by some pencilneck bringing up his old tweets. Spits out venom to everyone but lashes out when DDP gives him a taste of his own medicine. Great fighter but man the guy needs therapy or something.

I will admit that I am a little biases towards Dricus because I'm South African 🇿🇦 , but we can all agree that Dricus is a genuine guy and a really good fighter
You have to admire a person who is in control of his emotions. To see a man stand up for himself in a calm, respectful manner and openly sit face to face with press, fighters, people who didn’t see your greatness and hold/held different beliefs and bias’. This is a confident, in control man
I went into this fight rooting for Sean but DDP won me over at that press conference where he had Sean shook lol I couldn’t believe Sean got so sensitive when someone fired back at him. Nothing worse than a guy who can dish it but can’t take it back
Dricus is right about Sean playing the victim card. Bro hands it out but the one moment someone says some shit back to him he starts crying and threatening to kill them LOL. The fans will not be on Sean's side when he loses and pulls this shit out again.
His coach Nicksick agrees ! Don't get emotional !!! 😭🍼 If you can't take it , don't dish it out !!! Then now, being ' Buddy buddy , dick to dick ' ???!!! LAME & WEAK AF !!! ❄️
I think people misunderstand Sean, he will fight you out of principle if you talk shit, like he punched the guy in Australia for talking shit, it's not for moral reasons or that he should be exempt from it, but that's he personal line and if you cross it he'll fight you at the spot because he believes that's the right thing to do. If he talk shit about someone and they just take it, he'll see them as a weak for not wanting to defend themselves. DDP is the opposite and simply choose to not react to any shit talk.
That's basically how I felt as soon as it happened. If you make your entire brand off of saying deliberately incendiary, off the wall shit, with the kinda shit Strickland says ALL THE TIME, somebody else can say whatever and it's all fair.
'You think your Dad beat the shit out of you? Your Dad has nothing on me. Everyone childhood memory you had will come back...' This is the greatest trash talk in UFC history 😂😂😂😂
no its weird. why would you talk about a childs trauma. even sean doesnt talk about things like that. BUT SEAN said that dricus can say it again but he would stab him
@@koen4261brotha, if you've actually been following Sean these past 4 years, you'd know he has said plenty that is as bad or worse than what Driscus said.
DC, I watch many MMA sports channels and find yours is one of the best! You're lively, pleasant, happy, and entertaining. Keep up the wonderful interviews and commentary!
Sean isn’t “being himself.” He’s self destructing and sabotaging himself with his toxic personality because he has low self esteem and doesn’t believe he deserves to be champion. He doesn’t know how to be a champion, so he goes out of his way to act offensive and trashy. He’s scared to recognize the gravity of the title he holds. He’s basically choking under pressure.
You certainly have the right to your opinion and I can even see why that perspective may be there, but regardless, there is a level of authenticity from Sean that you get from literally no other athlete in any sport, and whether you agree with his behavior or not, it is amazing that he's not afraid to be human in front of the world. He is unique and special and in my opinion should be cherished! DDP also deserves Hella respect for how he's carried himself through it all! Bravo gentlemen can't wait to watch you both tonight! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
DDP is a dude that is happy and honest with himself. Strickland is someone running from himself and using anger and hate as a shield. He’s a coward. Always will be, unfortunately. And truthfully, it makes me feel bad for Strickland.
DDP has been taking nothing but W’s lately. 1.) Avoided the racebaiting from Adesanya 2.) Avoided the weasel Ariel’s advanced level racebaiting. 3.) Hasn’t let Strickland get under his skin, in fact got under Sean’s during the trash talk
Dricus is a star in his own right, i was a fan of his already before this fight but now im just sad because i want them to both succeed. I just hope both sides have fun lol
Bro, Dricus is fucking smart. I'm so used to UFC fighters being complete meatheads and simpletons. I'm genuinely having a hard time thinking of a fighter who sounds as mature and intelligent as Dricus.
It's crazy too that he's got such a silver tongue in a second or third language. You can tell from his early interviews that his English used to be terrible. Now, he's more fluent than most of my fellow Americans lol
Did yal forget it was sugar Sean who commented on Sean getting fked by his dad but desean ends up directing his energy at dricus’s statement felt kind of fake to me
All I remember is ddp swining heavy and hitting air and then Sean backing up and jabbing his face. This is the reason it's so controversial. Jabs not scored well and sometimes it looked like he hit Sean. And ddp was almost always agressing.
Anyone who knows the history of the dutch population in South Africa and has played rugby knows that those South Africans are cut from incredibly tough cloth…. These are hard hard men. And DDP appears to be a very unique individual as well. This guy will win and have a very dominant reign in think
Only he is not "Dutch" material - he is "French Huguenot" material. You know, the guys who invented South African Wine? And in terms of Rugby, you should know that Francois Pienaar, Faf de Klerk, Morne, Willie, Michael - du Plessis, Peter-Steph Du Toit, and many other rugby greats are from French stock, not Dutch.

Same here lol any real mma fan would respect and appreciate both fighters. The facts that people always think they have to pick a side is stupid. This fight is going to be a banger and ima like both guys even more once it’s said and done. 🥂
He absolutely would not deserve a rematch. The only circumstance in which a rematch would be warranted would be if they put on one of the greatest fights of all time or it was super close, but Sean clearly edged out the victory only to get robbed. Since the chance of these situations happening is like 2%…. No rematch
Average UFC Fighter: "I wAS BULLIEd wHEn I wAS a kiD, NEVRS AAGAIN" DDP: "I have never been bullied in my life and it's not starting now" DDP is the only one here who has never settled or thought about himself as a victim. Only UFC fighter with true honor.
@@khalilsmith6812 Israel emigrated to New Zealand and pledged loyalty to China, while he was an NZ citizen. Dricus simply called him out on that. As for your other points, if Dricus wins the title, he WILL become the first UFC fighter from Africa to take it "home". But I take it you do not like him, so there is no point in discussing it.
Started to love Sean ,when he fought izzy,he was the kind of flawed dude who I thought the antidote for his douchness Was success, but he just can't seem to evolve out of it,because he feels he's getting love for it...he seems worse,instead of learning how to be a better man he's embraced the worst aspects of everything, one minute he's telling cameras people need to get beat by their parents,next thing he's weeping about being a victim of abuse,I think he needs to lose..for his own growth,and he needs to lose for the worlds sake as well, Dricus is better dude. Hoo e he knocks him out
No one does a fur collar like Dricus. Chanel that lion energy. And good for him. He doesn't succumb to the pressure to go with the flow for approval. He stuck by the Adesanya stuff and did it really well, kept it light, but wasn't going to play the PR approval game. This is why he makes them nervous. He doesn't lash out, he just sticks to his guns. I think why I like him, he reminds me so much of the nice young men a grew up with. I'm not rural, coastal regional - surf's up, bruh - but they love their sport, they love their beer, they are sunny and good natured and don't find conversation confronting.
I've been a fan of ddp since he beat rob w and Izzy got in the cage and made a fool out of himself and ddp handled it well. With that said I love Sean Strickland and I hope this fight ends in a draw lol good luck to both of them

DDP: "I have never been bullied in my life and it's not starting now"
DDP is the only one here who has never settled or thought about himself as a victim. Only UFC fighter with true honor.
Honorable men don’t question another man’s heritage like Dricus did Israel, Kamaru and Francis as Africans.
@@khalilsmith6812 He didn't question their heritage you dimwit.
@@khalilsmith6812 Israel emigrated to New Zealand and pledged loyalty to China, while he was an NZ citizen. Dricus simply called him out on that. As for your other points, if Dricus wins the title, he WILL become the first UFC fighter from Africa to take it "home". But I take it you do not like him, so there is no point in discussing it.
He pretty much perfectly explained the reasons I don't like Strickland. He's got a loud mouth for a hypocrite
bro ddp has grown to be a favourite these last few weeks
Yea it’s been cold here the passed few days, -15c last night no wind chill, wild
Was this cut short?
he was actually describing sean pretty respectfully and maturely
Started to love Sean ,when he fought izzy,he was the kind of flawed dude who I thought the antidote for his douchness
Was success, but he just can't seem to evolve out of it,because he feels he's getting love for it...he seems worse,instead of learning how to be a better man he's embraced the worst aspects of everything, one minute he's telling cameras people need to get beat by their parents,next thing he's weeping about being a victim of abuse,I think he needs to lose..for his own growth,and he needs to lose for the worlds sake as well, Dricus is better dude. Hoo e he knocks him out
Love the interviews DC, please upgrade your video equipment. Quality looks pretty bad.
DDP The fact that critism doesnt get to him is what makes him dangerous
"Adesanya with the dog?"
"Yea- Well, I mean, that I understand."
🤣
DC really tried to say the Adesanya dog molestation is made up 🤣 everybodys seen the videos DC
This is one of those fights that I hate, simply because I don’t want to see either of them lose.
DDP STILNOX Your country is behind you!!! Make us proud 👏
Hulle Weet nie wat ons weet nie !
the jacket dricus has on is bad ass
I hate that either one of these guys have to lose.
No one does a fur collar like Dricus. Chanel that lion energy.
And good for him. He doesn't succumb to the pressure to go with the flow for approval. He stuck by the Adesanya stuff and did it really well, kept it light, but wasn't going to play the PR approval game. This is why he makes them nervous. He doesn't lash out, he just sticks to his guns.
I think why I like him, he reminds me so much of the nice young men a grew up with. I'm not rural, coastal regional - surf's up, bruh - but they love their sport, they love their beer, they are sunny and good natured and don't find conversation confronting.
I like his personality a lot, I'm glad here's the champion now and hope he stays on top for a long time. Good interview DC, I liked your honesty!
Sean is a character, he just doesn’t realize it. Too much trauma to even realize he’s trying desperately to be what he believes is a man
Respect to Dricus for not walking back his statement. All IS fair in love and war.
100% agree with Dricus. #AndNew
We gotta get you mic’d up DC.
"Did feel bad for mocking Roundtree?"
"Adensaya with the dog?"
"Well that I understand"
😂😂😂😂😂
I've been a fan of ddp since he beat rob w and Izzy got in the cage and made a fool out of himself and ddp handled it well. With that said I love Sean Strickland and I hope this fight ends in a draw lol good luck to both of them
DDP and Sean being in total agreement about Izzy's dog molestation is hilarious
DDP on Izzy here is hilarious
I like Strickland but I feel like Dricus is mentally stronger and far more secure in himself as a person
His nickname should be “Diamond”.
“Diamond Dricus Du Plesis” has a ring to it. Buffer announcing that would go crazy!!!
@novagirevik nah Diamond before. Like Diamond Dallas Paige. It sounds much better before than after Dricus.
Dustin Poirier is already Diamond tho
@@mohammadnashitsiddiqui2168 doesn’t matter. You know how many fighters have had the same nicknames? Suga Shane Mosley. Suga Rashad Evan’s. Suga Sean O’Malley.
@novagirevik ok kid
Thanks you
"That I understand."😂😂
DK said anybody even nearly affiliated with ufc is running our ads
i enjoyed listening to this guy
If anyone actually believes dana had a brain fart by sitting ddp and sean next to each other, then they probably believe khamzat wasn't told to miss weight. He evensaid they didn't want him to make weight. Scapgoat cause the fans were pissed at how nate was being treated and it was viral.
It’s not that. Dana obviously wanted trash talk between them, what we’re debating is if Dana planned the violence that happened.
@@e13kid dana never said he put them together for the trash talk though. I didn't hear him say that. It's obvious he did, but he denied putting them together for any reason.
@@ezradaiquiri11311 His denial means Jack shit though.
@@e13kid ofcourse it means nothing. That's my exact point in my post lol. 🤙
I really want ddp to get that belt, just not against sean. So hyped for tonight 🙌. Dana and disney tried to ruin this night for these two fantastic men, but the canadian fans and sean are making ufc 297 a legendary moment in history.
