Umm Kevin, Australia isn't Israel's home country. His home country is New Zealand, he grew up in New Zealand and lives in New Zealand and trains there as well, he has nothing really to do with Australia. Fighters of Australia are Robert Whittaker, Volkanovski, Jack Della, Erceg etc. Plus Mark Hunt and Junior Tafa probably count as well, since they live in Australia and have been here for a long time and fly this flag in their fights (obviously their ancestral origin comes from Samoa), but ancestry and nationality aren't the same thing. As far as Adesanya. He was born in Nigeria and has that citizenship, but moved to New Zealand as a kid and grew up there and holds NZ citizenship as well. Adesanya likes to represent either, depending upon how he is feeling on the particular day, lol.
Izzy literally said he was booed in Australia the last time because people there are racist. DDP is gonna be a major crowd favorite and I can’t wait to see it.
ADESANYA IS NOT AUSTRALIAN. HE LIVES IN NEW ZEALAND. WE DONT CLAIM HIM. Adasanya called us all racists just the other month on Mighty Mouses podcast lol. Huge SA community here. As an Aussie, I'll be cheering for DDP.
Australia is not Izzy's home country. Izzy represents China, he said it himself -- while a chinese flag is wrapped around his body -- that he is chinese by heart.
Apparently 50-45 is a close fight. By that smooth 🧠 logic, Adesanya vs Strickland was also a close fight. "While getting his back taken." 😂😂😂 What a ridiculous forced comment.
@@mr.e6748 And so what? Did he get submitted? No. Did he lose the round? No. You know a fighter is elite when the worst thing you can say is "he got his back taken." Ridiculous comment.
I love how Islam is just willing to skip an entire weight class to go for double champ lol. To be fair though, he is extremely disciplined. I am certain he could put the weight on with a decent amount of time and still be very quick. His weight cuts for lightweight are pretty brutal, he's basically a welterweight anyway. His back muscles are insane.
For those that don't know, here is a little bit of context: 2022-2023: Izzy, Kamaru, Francis winning fights, minding their own business, making the company a tonne of money, always acknowledging the African continent while reigning champs of their own respective divisions. Dricus in 2023: African champs? Did those belts ever go to Africa? I'm going to be the first "REAL" African champ. I was born in Africa. I reside in Africa. I breathe African air. I don't run away to New Zealand or whatever to learn how to fight. Dricus in 2024: I did not say any disrespectful towards them. I did not start this race war. Izzy did. They are taking what I said out of context. But go ahead, change the narrative to cover for yourself liarrrrrrr.
@@Obiodum_ If we remain consistent with your logic, then you are not a real American, you are a fake American. Are you happy now? You can't have your cake and eat it also.
@@kevinmitchell7527 Were you also crying when Covington, Cruz and Stipe all got title shots they either didn't deserve or were coming off a loss for? Or did you stay quiet like the hypocrite you are? Strickland never deserved the title shot he got against Adesanya (didn't see any of you complain) and after winning the belt, proceeded to LOSE on his very FIRST TITLE DEFENCE. He has no top 5 wins and doesn't deserve an immediate rematch.
Dricus knows he isnt making any sense.if u say u want to be the first african champion because u reside and train in your home country is a slap to other fighters face like francis who had to go through hell to leave his country. He hasnt seen poverty or wat it means to have to leave your countrt because of bad opportunities and all that. He will paybfor saying thay with his wild mouth😂
Hilarious he won't go on Ariel's show cause they talked about the real African stuff and racism. So he gives Kevin an interview and he asks the same question.
@@Obiodum_ u some Nigerian living in some rich country just like Izzy, what dricus said hurt u personally too, I can tell. Go back to Lagos, why do u stay in that place where all u do is copy merican culture and obsess over identity nonsense than no one in Nigeria cares about, why don't u come back to Africa and be at peace, our white boy is champion, accept it
I personally am fucking sick of people winning a title, defending it once, and then wanting to move up and fight for a title. Minimum of 3 defenses should be required.
it's because of the weight cutting meta we're in deep right now fix the weight cutting abuse, you fix weight bullies and double champs my suggestion is same-day weighing
Izzy is really the most misunderstood fighter ever. People always look for mistakes in whatever he says. But UFC 305, he has alot of questions to answer.
Dricus cannot beat this fresh and fully rested Izzy (the most active champ in UFC). Dricus gets hit alot and he is not as fast as Izzy. This isngoijg to be a great fight.
Should not be champ he never beat sean Strickland and he proved it himself when ask if he would do a rematch he coward away from it with some b.s. excuse saying he didn't owe him a rematch a real champ would have said come get some not make up excuses
2:50 There is no racial tone, ad an African , the comments where Dricus resides is totally unnecessary and quite childish because nobody cares where you train from. African is African wether you reside on the moon or in jungles of Ogun State, Nigeria.
@sentientdogma1206 Hardly garbage race-bating gotcha questions. The entire feud between them is a big part of this fight and the reason they’re so angry at each other. I had to ask him about his version of it. Race-baiting isn’t my thing by a country mile. As far as gotcha, I’m not sure you know what a gotcha question is. Point one out because there aren’t any in there. Thank you for watching, but you had to have gone into this interview disliking me for some reason or looking to criticize me to come up with that kind of thought
Dricus gotta shorten that mustache to get the race war maxed
😂
We need him to protect us from the Zionist regime
Wow i respect mustache DDP so much more
We need a masculine champ like him, also saw him wearing a Shelby Mustang shirt, respect
Izzy cannot beat Dricus DuStachee
Nice. I’d have gone for Dricus DuPlestache
Don’t like it, Dricus please lose that fluff 🙈
Lol. That stache looks ridiculous. 🤣🤣
👌best one so far
Dricus cannot beat fresh and rested Izzy (the most active champ in UFC).
Dricus gets hit alot and is not as fast as Izzy
Kevin questions are great. Not too intrusive and exagerated. Just honest. He pressed Dana White so hard about jon Jones😂
Australia Izzy's home country? No, last time I checked he was from NZ (via Nigeria & China)...
😂😂
Put some respect on kevin's name... thumbs up people! 👍
Great interview as always, love the positivity too Mr Kevin! 😊
DDP look like an 80s porn star with that mustache
Not 80s, more 70s, ha ha ha
He's getting ready for some vintage fu****g
You've been watching pornography for far too long 😂
I always say you either a pedo or a firefighter with only a mustache. Im right 50% of the time
Bro got the Officer Nasty stache 🤣
Thanks for the video, KEVIN

Wrong the black dragon is actually Chinese
Born in Nigeria. Raised in New Zealand. Lives in Australia. Sounds American. True African, that guy
@@marksutherland3462 He was also raised in Nigeria, he DOESN'T live in Australia and doesn't sound American.
What a ridiculous comment.
@@marksutherland3462Forgot Chinese

DDP is right, when Dana was asked about the racial aspect it was after izzy used the n-word.
The same n word that you and your brethren had absolutely no problem with Diaz and Perry saying. Save the fake moral outrage.
Let's go Dricus!! 👊 🇿🇦

DDP has a whole new meaning with that mustache
Another great interview kevin
Excellent interview
Let’s go DDP!!!!
Dricus please keep the stache for the fight man
GREAT INTERVIEW KEVIN 👍 ❤

He looks like Anrich Nortje

@@damonarchary1582 😄😄
“I’m verrry big, haha” 💀💀💀💀
Izzy can’t be having close fights with vettori while getting his back taken and expect us to pick him
Wasn't close
Second fight wasn’t close
Apparently 50-45 is a close fight. By that smooth 🧠 logic, Adesanya vs Strickland was also a close fight.
"While getting his back taken." 😂😂😂 What a ridiculous forced comment.
@@Obiodum_ Izzy did get his back taken though

DDP FTW
Izzy is not like in Australian .. he is not like anywhere with his foul thug attitude. Not once do you swear
Great tache
The fight is happening in China? Damn Dricus is indeed bold to fight there
No offense to Kevin Iole but he looks like Jason after he pulls his mask off . The head shape is uncanny 😭

Do you know exactly what you were doing when you made that statement
the real african battle
For those that don't know, here is a little bit of context:

Officer Farva is going to beat Izzy ass 💀💀💀
Kurt Caz if you're reading this - Hello.
Hello Kevin, sorry you got it all wrong Izzy is Chinese. 🤷🏼♀️ Well said DDP you owe Strickland NOTHING you won without a doubt. Bring it home DDP
Adesanya is a Yoruba name. Tell us where the Yoruba people are from?
@@Obiodum_ Izzy said himself his Chinese, he never lived in Africa in his adult life.🤷🏼♀️
@@Enlightenment246 I'm waiting for an answer to my question.
Where are the Yoruba people from?
@@Obiodum_ Nigeria where Izzy was born but his NOT Nigerian. He does NOT travel with a Nigerian passport either, so his NOT Nigerian.
@@Obiodum_ If we remain consistent with your logic, then you are not a real American, you are a fake American. Are you happy now? You can't have your cake and eat it also.

Interesting new rapey mustache look Dricus. 😆
🇿🇦🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🇿🇦
Terrible questions.
Your profile pic is a giant L
Agreed
So Strickland easily beats Izzy, Dricus beats Strickland and Izzy gets a title fight. It makes the UFC look like a Micky Mouse organization
@@kevinmitchell7527 Were you also crying when Covington, Cruz and Stipe all got title shots they either didn't deserve or were coming off a loss for?

I personally am fucking sick of people winning a title, defending it once, and then wanting to move up and fight for a title. Minimum of 3 defenses should be required.
@@coffeeandxanax2158 Should be 4-5. Becoming double champion should be a reward for dominating your own division, not a luxury.

fix the weight cutting abuse, you fix weight bullies and double champs
my suggestion is same-day weighing
You should clear the top 5
