Shout out to Adam for a great interview. Clearly a huge fan, does his research and always manages to have a great back and forth with all the fighters, comes across as one of the boys off camera but always professional on 👍
At first I thought he was being arrogant, but it’s simple facts, he lives in Africa, trains in Africa and will be taking the belt to Africa, so it’s fitting to call him an African champion
I didn’t know how to take him at first but the more I’ve watched him and listened to him I can’t help but have respect for him and like him. For me if he can beat Whittaker who is 100% number two at middleweight then we may have a great rivalry in the making because this guy is definitely young, hungry and brings something different than what Adesanya has faced up to now
I agree but nobody wants that build up of race trash talk. Izzy is a little girl I just can’t listen to his dumb comments on the topic. I remember him doing the same shi with Rob
I like Driscus, seems like a nice guy who always puts on entertaining fights. Is he gonna put on a Masterclass of MMA? No but at least he's gonna try everything with maximum effort, and I can respect that.
Dricus and Izzy situation about Africa is pretty much the same as Leon and Bisping about the UK. Idk why Izzy and Kamaru said that other than they must miss home
not exactly the same. Leon was born in Jemaica and moved to London, whereas Dricus was born in South Africa and likely has heritage dating back to the first settlers in the 1800s. It's a low blow for Izzy to mention colonialism when he moved to New Zealand which is still regarded as a dominion within the British empire.
There wasn’t an awful lot of talk about African champions until Usman and Adesanya had already won the belts. Then Francis. Reality is they trained in America: New Zealand and France and Dricus was just saying he still lives and trains in Africa and that’s it
Rob has been insanely impressive in continuing to prove he's the number one guy (next to Izzy). He can only lose by geting caught. He's clearly the better fighter.
I like DDP, first of all he speaks with deep intelligence and knowledge, as a fighter his style is positively interesting, I must that when people in America and England in particular are remarking on African particularly, they don’t think their views need to be properly accessed, because, after all is African, even black from America think Africa is very inferior, ok, now what DDP said is very thinly dangerous and decisive, due to the situation South Africa has found it self in the past, I believe he’s African like other African black, brown, and what ever else is has there,
If Drikus wasn’t gonna be a fighter he was gonna be lawyer, he is talking way wisely for a fighter who get punched in the head for living 🤔 well spoken an genuine but warrior in the cage
Yeah he didn't say the words "more African"... he said, "I want to be the first real African champ"... We can all pretend like we don't understand why indigenous Africans would take that the wrong way or we can ask Du Plessis to stop acting indignant and just tidy up the statement.
Don’t think so, Izzy is slowing down and can’t handle against pressure KO fighters, Romero sparked him and could’ve won if Romero had more energy/stamina. Periera, Gastelik are just a pressure KO fighter with higher stamina and energy and Izzy got folded by both.
DDP literally said “I’m the African fighter in the UFC alongside Cameron” what does this implies? The statement truly made Izzy,Kamaru and Francis less Africans because they don’t reside in Africa. DDP should apologize and stop trying to justify what he said, though he might not mean and know the consequences of the statement when he made it.
Don't try mix his words, for what must he apologize for? He simply said he is the only African who was born in Africa, trained in Africa and resides in Africa who'll be the next ufc champ, so where must he apologize eintlik? What did he do or say wrong? The problem is that certain people are too damn sensitive, and izzy is one of them.
He said training and living in Africa makes him the "real African champ". Coming from a product of apartheid and racial discrimination is insulting to say the least.
If Whittaker beat Dricus would Adesanya be fighting Whittaker next? Also why doesn't Alex Pereira ask for a rematch against Adesanya since he was the champ when Adesanya beat him?
Bro u know what u said. U stated u was looking to become either the first real or true African champion. In post fight octagon interview at a time when Francis usman and Izzy was all current champs at the time. Bro don’t change it now. U literally said that and further explain to Ariel how u live and breath African air and train their basically throwing shots at them. Granted folks wanna some how out of all promo octagon interviews from Colby to Conor is great fun cool but Izzy dropping n bomb now omg g folks wanna have integrity now when it comes to selling a fight but cool folks don’t like it but u can’t deny Izzy anger tho he have every right to be upset at those remarks bro made in the past
Lol this dude is pretty much just milking the name of Izzy to get recognized. Izzy’s reply was the only thing that gave him recognition. Let him get past Bobby knuckles first.
Izzy seem to just be seen playing with race. He is the one who even now refuse to live in Africa. Ask him why he does not want to live and inspire Africans in Africa ? Why does Izzy not want to train in Africa ? I am just puzzled ... He have enough money so it's not a money issue ... He even said he is Chinese inside so clearly he don't want to be African and only wants African for window dressing and want to be seen doing "something" for Africa
