@@wrestlinginfodude2644 so what's the greatest according to you? Football? Basketball imo it's the purest form of combat sports, and also the only truly relevant one
Du Plessis has finished 19 of his 20 victories. That's a 95% finish rate. The only man that lasted 15 minutes w/ him is Brad Tavares and his entire head was a bloodbath, broken nose, etc. Food for thought
As a South African, and watching UFC for many years, I can't tell you how proud I feel seeing Dricus up there. What an achievement. And I do believe he will be the NEW MW champ, just too well rounded for Sean and too much power! Let's goooo!
One thing I love about this is theyre both true fighters. No fancy showboating bullshit, just 2 dudes looking to scrap and KO each other. Strickland vs Du Plessis should be a good fight as well.
The people's champ is someone who stands for the people, not a MacGregor, Adesanya, or O'Malley. All these dudes put on a show for the cameras. Stricky Boy ain't hype. He's too real.
I'm always curious to know which people you fanboys are talking about. Americans? Potential school shooters? Neckbeards? Who's the people? Cause any rational thinking person would not consider Stricky their champion.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Dricus started as a grappler starting Judo in his teens. He was already a black belt in Judo before he entered his 20s. Him and his two brothers were national Judo champions before they even got into kickboxing and MMA. He also is an elite level Grappler/Judo/Wrestling/BJJ fighter. You can see it in how Dricus did a hip toss throw on a 200+ lbs Whittaker to take him down. Anyone who knows Judo, knows hip toss is extremely hard to execute on a big guy as it requires a lot of explosive power and technique to be successful. He regularly competes in BJJ tournaments against some of the best BJJ teams. Gracie Barra BJJ is one of the best BJJ teams and Dricus went into a tournament against THE WHOLE Gracie Barra BJJ team. Dricus destroyed the entire Gracie Barra BJJ team taking them on one after the other submitting each and everyone of them. His opponents were fresh, but he would take a little rest and come back to take on the next. He went through BJJ martial artists some even bigger than him and submitting them. The guy is an absolute monster.
@@crazypato3752 What do you mean how do I know that? The video is on youtube. Go see it yourself and you will see Dricus demolishing the entire Gracie Barra BJJ team singlehandedly.
@@Obiodum_ no. matt serra threw those punches with the intent to land them and he did. i’m not saying there’s no such thing as wins that aren’t likely to happen again. but GSP got caught. izzy got dominated there’s a difference
@@mattd6200 You can call a quick knockout a “fluke.” I can see the argument there even though I don’t believe there are flukes in fighting. But Sean beat up Izzy for 25 minutes. That is certainly not a fluke. That’s an ass kicking.
Sean has a very difficult fight ahead of him. I think if he can make it to the later rounds and keep it standing he can finish Dricus or get the decision because Sean has insane cardio. But Dricus is gonna be a tank in those first 3 rounds
People doubted Dricus against Whittaker. People doubted he would ever get close to the title shot. Not me. Dricus becomes the first winner of a title shot in 2024. The belt is going home to Africa with a true African Warrior. Dricus has MW GOAT ability.
@@ra1nmakerrr909 i'm a massive whittaker fan, but i wouldn't call that a fluke, ddp was getting tagged in rnd 1 and however he started to find his range and hurt whittaker in 1st too. then 2nd is where it he put it all together. whittaker simply got outclassed.
@@lukemurray4950Sean talks shit about everyone and their families fym? He went after O'Malley and his wife in the presser for no reason. He's an immature little kid that can dish it out but can't take it.
It’s been a while since UFC has made an exciting and cool promo for a fight …kudos to the creative team behind it…and UFC in 2024 already looks smashing 💥
Dricus will have a surprisingly tough battle and would be sooo lucky to escape with a victory! Bobby Knuckles fan boy here and observing Whittaker run from Dricus after taking a shot made me feel his toughness has diminished!
I’m a huge Sean fan but, DDP is very good and he’s HUGE he’s literally a South African Paula Costa that actually shows up to his fights and doesn’t pull out Lul
I love both guys, my favorite is Sean Strickland but i think that Dricus Du Plessis gonna wrestle and grapple a lot in this fight. DDP is huge, strong, powerfull, hit very hard and has solide expérience. Can't wait for the fight!!! P.S : bueno Silva's win against Holly Holm wawn't OT cause of stéroïdes ?
Love Sean, interesting matchup, duplessis is a monster, huge for the weight class and finishes everyone and usually early, I feel like if he can’t finish Sean early he will get paper cutted for 3-4 rounds
Idk with 2 nostrils now he wont get tired so idk, Dricus has 9 KOS 10 Submissions in 20 wins Strickland never finishes a fight we will see rooting for Dricus tho I think Dricus at +160 is a good lock
Driscus is kind of a nightmare matchup for the point fighters...look at his performance against Till and Whittaker...Strickland though have amazing fight iq ..what a fight🎉
Sean breaks guys with less than elite cardio. From what we've seen of DDP his cardio leaves a lot to be desired. I see him shooting to survive by the end of the 2nd.
1 year ago if somone told anyone Strickland and DDP would've fought for the belt no one would've trust it... greatest sport of all times!!

He’s definitely going to win, it sets up Izzy to get the belt back.
