Sorry about the audio throughout the entire interview guys, I've been working a lot on trying to make it sound as good as possible but this whole thing was done quite spontaneously so I didn't have much time to prepare everything. Thanks to Dricus for being so generous with his time. Also for the first 15 minutes of this interview the only thing going through my head was "holy shit I'm actually talking to Dricus Du Plessis right now" but I still think the interview went pretty well. SORRY ABOUT THE HOOVER TOWARDS THE END, the gym was pretty chaotic and everyone was getting ready to leave / people were cleaning. Enjoy.
It’s so cringe, men have made each other care so much about height the 6’3 dude is standing up as tall as he can, checking the camera every 5 seconds to make sure he’s taller than someone… who’s shorter than him
Lol it's his first in person interview and first time not just recording off a webcam. He obviously isn't aware of how it all works, or he probably would've atleast brought someone with him to film
Terrible audio, bad camera angle, people walking in shot, 3 month old interview. And still 100 Times better than anything ESPNMMA has come out in the past year. Keep up the great work John P!
Guru is ashamed of his obesity therefore he refuses to make eye contact with dricus. He is constantly hugging himself and staring at the camera. Dricus is 100% confident. Staring at guru the whole time not breaking eye contact.
My favorite moments so far 11:12 Dricus’ coach begins to cover the camera more and more 14:21 Guru notices but doesn’t say anything because he’s scared 16:51 Someone starts their vacuum 18:26 Dricus and his coach make out in front of guru 🏳️🌈
Bro guru’s stance has me dead😭😭 he’s gonna give himself a hernia flexing like that for so long lmaoooo all jokes aside props for not losing your shit and actually giving us a good interview with DDP.
Bloody hell mate, guy's in His young 20's, making vids about mma in His shed and builds up untill He's speaking in person with the world's first African champ. Respect for achieving big things Guru. 🍻 Good to see You in the world meeting the big guys.
between the coach in front of the camera and the cleaning sounds, and guru trying to flex/mog all along and having hard time with eye contact. This is so bad it's good.
Guru starved himself for 2 days leading up to this. Stayed stiff as hell in a body guard stance and sucked in his gut for this entire conversation, kept checking the camera to make sure he looked okay, clearly wore black because it's slimming and all for his primarily male audience. Y'alls body shaming has got to this man lol
Guru dude, Im a solid supporter of your work but damn I swear I could rewatch this video with the sole purpose of just watching you check yourself and adjust between awkward stances!
I dunno if I’ve ever been as happy to see someone’s success on RUclips 🤣🤣 haven’t missed a video for years. Can’t catch every live because of work but fair play man 👏
Congrats man, been watching you since your first Usman steroid’s video in like 2019. Great to see how far you’ve come. DDP the chad of chads. Respect guru 👊🏽
I'm old enough to be gurus dad. His potential has always been apparent. He hates praise but I saw this for ya kid. Imo much more to come. Keep being true to yourself. You have to advance over Luke Thomas and Ariel. Stay true to yourself!
Dude is going from his shed to South Africa, of course he's not completely at ease. That's like doing the splits. Add to that the gym was a zoo during the interview lol
I love it brother! So raw but you're making it and you will get better at interviewing. You probably never even thought you would be actually interviewing these fighters. Very cool to see your hard work is getting noticed.
A little more discipline regarding who is the subject of the interview wouldn't hurt. Dricus is happy to share fighter insights... Guru wants to talk about tuber insights. Which is interesting... at another time.
South African🇿🇦 fan of DDP and Guru. I see some haters trying to downplay your courage. You did what you love and went to another country to follow your dream and entertain the fans. 😂😂👊💪 #hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie!
fuck, guru is legit huge, a unit edit: I dunno what it is, something about Dricus gives me GSP vibes... and I'm rooting for Strickland... gonna be a good one regardless of outcome.
Spaghetti arms, tiny biceps and tris. You can see him pinching the bottom of his shirt the whole time to try to flex his arms. He's tall but he aint no unit
Great effort GURU, loved the instant chemistry. Shame the sound wasnt great but it doesn't really matter so big up yourself pal. Waitimg on the main event now and im so torn with DDP and Strickland!! 2 of my favourite fighters. Love your channel, 2024 big things mate
This is the one of the greatest interviews with an mma fighter. It's hilariously scuffed but it's candid and a real conversation. With most fighter interviews, it's either soundbite run-of-the mill questions, it's podcasts that are the same boring shit or else it's 100% silly meme questions for the fighter. And with dricus interviews, it's always just focused on asking him "iz strickland hypocrite?" "did u go 2 far and be 2 mean 2 him?" "did u go too far with racizm against izzy ?". This on the other hand, is all just good stuff that I'm interested in hearing about. Good job, pork.
I might be projecting but he seems like the kind of guy that spends too much time in his room and deep down deeply insecure…all the posturing and looking at the camera but then maybe he’s just not used to it. Very vocal online but in person somewhat shy and meek. All very obvious from his body language. Still, respect for doing this interview.
Honestly, DDP should feel grateful for the level of effort Guru went through to make this video happen. The amount of money spent on rehabilitation therapy to stand for this prolonged period alone...
Thanks for posting so much footage despite sound quality and Dricus' coach standing in front of the camera, I wanted to hear your conversation regardless of these things
The camera is above the waist and Guru’s shirt is bunched up near the collar because the harness on his back is tied to the cage and standing him up on those spindly crippled legs.

Did you zip his pants up after you finished piggy
dude. send me the interview raw file so i can fix the audio. this is unlistenable
Terrible bro gonna oil you up
Just use Premiere Pro to remove background noise and auto generate your own captions for all of it.
A bit awkward but everyone of us in chat would be like that and since it’s your first it’s not a big deal
You can tell DDP has worked with and knows how to talk to special needs people. Mad respect
That's why they call him DDP. Dedicated to Disabled People.
@@keelansquire😂😂
@@keelansquire lol legend
😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅😅
I’m incredibly impressed than guru managed to flex his chest and traps for 30 minutes straight
Whilst holding his belly in
Hey man, you gotta shine if you wanna get signed.
he's desperate to look good on camera lol all the trolling got to him
seriously why the fucc he standing like that lol looks a right mushroom
he should have relaxed @@mihajlo2427
Guru doin the npc guarding the door stance
😂😂
Yeah cuz he’s so concerned about height lmao it’s so cringe. Homoerotic asf
based queens-guard guru protecting the royal crumpet supply
he's so self conscious😅
*guarding the fridge
If Guru can stand from his wheelchair and walk, DDP can win the belt.
🐐
Guru rolled so DDP could walk ♿️ 🗣️
Can't believe they cut this wholesome moment between Dricus and a formerly paralyzed make a wish man from countdown. Shame on the ufc.
you don't see his legs in the video hmmm
@@riverriverchannel is dricus in a wheelchair too then?
The new middleweight champ standing with the super heavyweight champ. Iconic
OmegaWeight champion
DDP looks like a welterweight next to him
Meta mega weight champion
Super duper heavy weight
This got me man 😂
I would have never imagined seeing GURU tower over DDP
He’s not showing us that Cameron Saimaan has him on his shoulders from where the camera cuts
Guru is top , Dricus is bottom 👨🏻🤝👨🏼
He's standing on a chair.
It’s so cringe, men have made each other care so much about height the 6’3 dude is standing up as tall as he can, checking the camera every 5 seconds to make sure he’s taller than someone… who’s shorter than him
@@nextlevel8771bro there was some anticipation to this body reveal we thought he couldn’t walk
Loving the sound of thousands of tormented souls in the background
A S M R. Guru is a jack of all trades
That would be the South Africans
Those are all DDP coaches waiting in line to kiss him
Props to guru for flexing straight for 28:50 minutes
Was looking for this comment 😂
😂
He never straightens his arms haha. I guess the stay bent when he is on his wheel chair
he seems so awkward but i like him
I don’t think that is what’s happening
PROUD OF YOU MY PIGGA
Dricus has such unwavering confidence. Chad
Especially next to soyru
he earned it, you don't earn it sitting behind a desk
That’s what a real man looks like
Facts
@@xrp10kvisionz Yeah, why wouldn't he at this point. He's done the work
I didn't realize Guru filmed this interview right next to a waterfall.
Lmao
Sandblaster actually.
😂
Lol it's his first in person interview and first time not just recording off a webcam. He obviously isn't aware of how it all works, or he probably would've atleast brought someone with him to film
Guru really interviewed DDP while standing up and casually flexing the entire time
Terrible audio, bad camera angle, people walking in shot, 3 month old interview.
And still 100 Times better than anything ESPNMMA has come out in the past year.
Keep up the great work John P!
Hahahaha thats hilarious, so accurate
This goes against all the standard rules and yet it's watched all the way through as it is REAL in a world of fakery. Well done guru
You can see how painful it is for Guru to stand on his two legs
that's why he has to flex his entire body nonstop for the full interview or else his legs will give way
😂😂😂
It’s so cute he’s like Bambi
DDP’s coach blocking guru is peak comedy hahahaha
?
@maxabdulhadi i think hes talking about him blocking him physically during the interview bro
@maxabdulhadi Guru, Mr dont give a fukk, was aware of camera block. Looked at the camera too afraid to say anything :´)
11:27
I know right 😂 Wouldn't have been a guru interview if it all went too perfect
Standing tall with no legs.
You are an inspiration to all disabled people, Guru.
Big respect to guru for meticulously photoshopping every frame in this video to make him look normal
Nice that Dricus has his gym straight at the beach
Next to a roaring waterfall too
There's no beach in Pretoria
I should know I live in Hatfield
Next to d showers.. but it's fine.. I can hear clearly
Because of the sound @@jaydenwilliams3839
Thats where he catches the natives in the nets
Guru is ashamed of his obesity therefore he refuses to make eye contact with dricus. He is constantly hugging himself and staring at the camera. Dricus is 100% confident. Staring at guru the whole time not breaking eye contact.
Respect to guru
Bro analyzed tf out of ts
he definitely looks very self-conscious, it's making me uncomfortable watching him stand unnaturally Lol
@EshaanKudire it's true though. I noticed it too but this guy actually put it into words
wow someone isnt 100% confident like the chad ddp? how dare he !
My favorite moments so far
11:12 Dricus’ coach begins to
cover the camera more and more
14:21 Guru notices but doesn’t say anything because he’s scared
16:51 Someone starts their vacuum
18:26 Dricus and his coach make out in front of guru 🏳️🌈
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Dricus The Ally
😂🤣
Epic time stamps 🙌💯❤️
Hahahahaha
The more I watch Dricus more I like him as a person, hope he wins tonight. He'll be a great champion and rep for UFC
Guru side eyeing the camera 😂
You made your self look soo awkward trying to look big 🤣
Top content though dude, what an experience.
Dudes alright. But this one is beyond weird💀

This is going to be a MMA guru classic!
between the coach in front of the camera and the cleaning sounds, and guru trying to flex/mog all along and having hard time with eye contact. This is so bad it's good.
Guru over there suffering flexing as hard as he can for 28 min straight 😭
Are y’all just so skinny you think he’s flexing
@@sleepisthecousinofdeath7395 bro it’s so obvious, are you good?
Guru looking at the camera like he’s trying to not miss a dono
😂
Standing MMA Guru is the new mythical figure
Lmao
Congratulations on the interview Guru, you did great work making this happen and it looked like a great experience…
Guru's the man. A little self concious about his body weight issues, but I forgive him. Time to come to America bro.
Sadly he lost that weight only for this SA trip
Guru starved himself for 2 days leading up to this. Stayed stiff as hell in a body guard stance and sucked in his gut for this entire conversation, kept checking the camera to make sure he looked okay, clearly wore black because it's slimming and all for his primarily male audience. Y'alls body shaming has got to this man lol
God bless him
he will be strong af in 3 years
Guru dude, Im a solid supporter of your work but damn I swear I could rewatch this video with the sole purpose of just watching you check yourself and adjust between awkward stances!
only a man as sophisticated as guru will tuck his sleeves under his armpits
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Respect to guru got a genuine conversation out of a ufc fighter than most interviews which we all respect
I dunno if I’ve ever been as happy to see someone’s success on RUclips 🤣🤣 haven’t missed a video for years. Can’t catch every live because of work but fair play man 👏
Aw so shy and humble when you are in person, good lad
Congrats man, been watching you since your first Usman steroid’s video in like 2019. Great to see how far you’ve come.
DDP the chad of chads.
Respect guru 👊🏽
This is brilliant! So real & raw! Fair play to Guru, Dricus and the military trainer 🙏🏾👏🏾👌🏾💪🏾
Was that GURU's first time out in public? Dude looked so uncomfortable.
no he see’s his uber eats driver that counts as somebody

99% of you would be nervous af doing this.
One of those fights where u like and respect both fighters. Can’t wait to see what happens
I'm old enough to be gurus dad. His potential has always been apparent. He hates praise but I saw this for ya kid. Imo much more to come. Keep being true to yourself. You have to advance over Luke Thomas and Ariel. Stay true to yourself!
Bro is so tense the whole time, relax your shoulders a little 💀💀
i think he's uncomfortable in his own skin - bringing shoulders forward to hide body fat
Dude is going from his shed to South Africa, of course he's not completely at ease. That's like doing the splits. Add to that the gym was a zoo during the interview lol
@@krag3r Pulling his shirt down, sucking his belly in. Keeps looking at the camera instead of engaging Driscus.
@@krag3r shut up you calling me out, since when is bringing shoulder foward not cool huh
Blue lips
Under pressure - thinking about Audio video environ while interviewing and being interviewed …….away! Lol good showing.
Guru taking the lead as the people's champ of MMA reporting
Guru has helped propel DDP into a star, and DDP boosting Guru's stardom as well. Props to both guys! AND NEW!
Dricus and his coach come across so calm and grounded, its the complete opposite of how he fights haha
Just like Michael Chandler lmao
14:21 Guru awkwardly trying to look past the coach to check out the camera 😂
Hahahaha
haHAHAHAHAHAHAH peeeek comidy
Like a scene out of a sketch 😂😂😂
Reading this just after that happened😂
Stood like hes held up by wooden contraption
Guru finally getting the respect he deserves 🔥 man of the people
Watching DDP on cable in the EFC at 170 now he’s fighting for the belt dude is such a beast, true role model man.
Bisping been real quiet since this dropped
Afraid of the mog when Guru pulls up to UFC London
Why would he be quiet? He'd still kick guru's ass easily, lol
