This man has held three belts in his career, came to the ufc and won all 6 (or whatever it is) of his first fights including Bobby knuckles. My man is beaming with confidence atm watch him flip the ufc on its head
That's one thing I think I have yet to hear from Strickland, is that he says he's better than anyone.....the dude is fkn straight up no nonsense talk...every other fighter talks about how good they are and how much better they are than the guy they're fighting.....and the ones that talk like that I just want to see them get beat....I liked Dricus more than now....now he's saying that Israel just couldn't get started,thats because he shut Adesanya down....had him backing up the entire fight and beat him to most of the punches thrown....this should be a great fight either way, but but now moreso than then I wanted Sean to win ...based on Duplessis saying how much better he is...I get the confidence part totally, but him down playing Sean in the Adesanya fight was a lite bs....who knows Dricus could been pieced up by Israel, now we won't know because Adesanya supposedly gonna retire.
I think this fight either gonna get an early finish with dricus winning, or will be a super boring fight with sean keeping his belt after 5 rounds. Rooting for sean 😂😂
People frightened of being wrong these days pick someone and go with it. At the end of the day it's a fight this sport throws up huge upsets all the time can go either way. I'm saying dricus
I’ve gone off Du Plessis of late. He’s become a bit of a big head. In the fight he struggled to get past Stricklands jab. He looked like a Panda at the end. I’d love to see a rematch and Strickland to bring him down a peg or two.
Dricus is stronger, of course, he also has pretty good reach.Whittaker, like many with poly heritage (Max etc.), has pretty short arms.How's Sean's reach? To generalise a little, Africans/Afr.Americans have long reach (think Jon Jones, Izzy, Ngannou) , Asians and Polynesians have short reach (Max, Whittaker, Mark Hunt) and whites/europeans are in between (of course that means everyone from Chad Mendes to apes like Mcgregor or Pavlovich lol) .
As long as Dricus stays smart and doesn't wear himself out testing the "boxer". Blind Freddy can see he is an extremely accomplished MMA fighter, his record - KOs and subs running head to head almost - shows that and it is why his fights are exciting. He's unpredictable and brutal, no matter what he's doing. Sean's MO is to just survive. Which can be effective. Which has been effective to a degree. (Too many unranked fights to lock it in as fact.) It would really suck that the guy who took minimal risks and just survived wins this because the other guy did too much for the wrong reasons. Dricus is a grounded, smart, successful athlete. I'm sure he's aware of these pitfalls, but I really want him to fulfill his chosen destiny and not fk it up.
Dont care what the result is aslong as its a good fight. Hopefully they will shake hands at the end of it, du plesis will apologize for the daddy comments and hopefully sean doesn't shoot him up with that new golden gun.
Strickland can not lose , he fights to keep his demons in control and not for fame or recognition . Smart man to turn the tables on tragedy from his past and use it for his own agenda .Even if he loses the fight hes still getting his therapy so he still wins .
Dricus cardio been questionable through his last fights. Came back to get that last punch. Let’s be honest Dricus gets in trouble in past 2 fights, if he wasn’t a finisher me wouldn’t be here. should be a good fight.
On his level? What ? The level of gassing out by round 2 and never in your career having gone over 3 rounds?? Dricus is in for a rude awakening. Sean has faced objectively better strikers in Izzy and Alex. He’s also faced steroid abusing brutes like connonier and imavov. Ddp is nothing new and he has to win by round 2. The betting odds are favoring Sean for a reason, and I agree. But by all means, I hope people keep betting dricus. Better for me lol
Dricus will get finished in the championship rounds after winning majority of the first 3 rounds. Sean’s conditioning is superior, the wrestling offense will slow down R4 onwards and Sean will finish it on the feet from thereon.
Heart days Dricus, but my head says Dricus
Wtf 😂😂 was that
Er
Ok
One of the best comments...............of the night.
Strickland is too cautious and that’s really bad for dricus

Agreed, his last 2 fights wasn’t pretty or dominate fashion, but fatigue and survival mode.
Damn that is one handsome fella
Was so funny when ddp went in to Sean head
He's giving off those " im better than him everywhere vibes " and i think we know how that usually goes... strickland 4th round tko
Sean Strickland has the better defense while Dricus gets hit , so its going to be a great fight.
DDP doesn't fight pretty much like Izzy, DDP will make it a dog fight.
Were is he from?
