The disrespect towards Dricus is RIDICULOUS. The man just beat Izzy, Sean Strickland, Robert Whitaker, Derek Brunson, and Darren Till 5 fights in a row! That's a murderer's row of elite killers. And Driscus disposed of all of them. If you want "pretty" fighting, maybe you should get into figure skating or something. I hear their judges care about superficial aspects of performance like that. But if you want a guy that somehow, some way will outlast his opponent and find a way to win? Go with Dricus.
@@johnathanjackson167 Darren Till fought for the Welterweight championship. The only losses Brunson has had in over 5 years were to Driscus, and Jared Cannonier. Bums huh? LOL Educate yourself
Dana hates white fighters for some reason. Hated Stipe, glazed Ngannou. Hates DDP, glazes Izzy. Hates Tom, glazes Jones. Hated GSP, glazed Usman. Hated Bisping and Weidman, glazed Silva. Very consistently weird behavior from him. And what's worse is that many of the guys I mentioned, especially DDP and Tom, have megastar potential. So he's definitely not doing this for the company, because it's coming at the cost of the future of his company to not promote these fighters.
People will look fondly back on Dricus' career once its over. They always start as haters, but will give him his due eventually. Guy will be a goat at the end of it all.
Dana's real answer "I don't give a shit what Dricus did, Jon Jones is Pound for Pound number 1 actively fighting best 40 year old in period of 4 years."
Like Barry bonds and Carl Lewis Jon Jones threw away his legacy cheating with PEDs he didn't even need in the first place. Jones can't make any list of greatest because he cheated. He would have still cleaned out divisions without doping but he ruined his legacy being stupid
@@nickievandermerwe1582 Casual UFC supporter here (not being sarcastic or taking the piss, I genuinely only follow the sport casually)... but from what I have seen, especially post the Strickland fight - Dana doesn't dig DDP and he almost doesn't even know what to say when he wins. Your comment saying that he mentioned that "The fight was awesome" - This isn't very specific around anything? The guy literally has to say that at a press event. Imagine Dana saying "Oh shit sorry guys that the main event wasn't awesome" The point here is that had Adesanya won, the comments wouldn't be around the "Awesome fight", they would be around how Adesanya is amazing the greatest and Dricus was put in his place etc.
Dana, bias much? Dana White is disrespectful asf about DDP. The guy has just beaten the top 3 middleweight fighters in a row and has defended his belt. Not to mention submitting Izzy for the first time in his professional career. You think you the Dana could be more complimentary of such a good fighter as Dricus. Never mind his style. It’s not ballet. It’s MMA. He wins. That’s what counts.
@@khaledalnaser9967yeah, he should be happy to have someone exiting like DDP to represent the 185 Division and bringing something new. A Champion who puts on entertaining fights and a Champ who always goes for the Kill, no matter what! Great look Dana😕
The only guy that's given Dricus props since the beginning was Dominique Cruz, always looked past the awkwardness and truly saw what Dricus was about. Respect
Would have been nice to hear Dana gush over DDP for once instead of always bringing up Jones or Connor. His bias towards certain fighters is sickening.
Dana was not lying. Dricus fights like a drunk but he is very effective and tough as nails. And Dricus behaved like an excellent sportsman after the Izzy fight. That was top class!
The UFC gave DDP Izzy, Strickland and Whitaker because they wanted him to lose so that they can focus more attention on their stars. First loss DDP is going to have UFC will try to make him disappear
I want to know Dana how does the challenger who loses to the champion land up getting more money than the Champion? You have some BS going on in the UFC.
Don’t know why he wouldn’t support, Dricus. DDP is an extremely marketable guy imo. Has a good physique, good trash talking, finishes upon finishes, and he represents an entire nation. Dana needs to stop crying over his “cash cows” losing.
Typical UFC is ELITE promotion, cream of the crop drikus took out his top fighters and you can easily pick up he leans towards izzy ! Drikus just proved you dont have to move to usa to becom a UFC CHAMPION!😂😂😂😂
yeah izzy is done, izzy just said it was his best version bcz all the training he did. he did a different body camp, where he focused more on weights and whatever tf he had planned. so i feel like he thinks that, he 100% is not normal izzy at all. his body may be in better shaoe, but his physical fighting ability he wasn’t the same.
Izzy Fanboys cant stop coping every time this bum loses He is overrated Sean easily beat him Ddp beat him Jan beat him And whittaker beat him in a rematch but got robbed
They just don’t know yet how to monetise Dricus any more than they know how to pronounce his name. I hope he’s banking those Checkers endorsements in the meantime while other sponsors wake up. Dude’s gonna be stanking rich. And a legend in the sport to boot.
All that Dana cares about is crowd appeal. That's why he loved Connor MC. He knows these type of personalities rake in the cash and fame. DDP beeing unorthodox does not sit well with Dana. Dana must grow up and give credit where it's due.
Their stock price is 27ish dollars. They need a black champ that could be like a Jordan to win the favors of blackrock. The stock could jump up to 90 or even 200 dollars a share.
i mean its true. black people are the culture. who do you think invented Rock jazz country techno house music rap hip hip funk soul dj'ing and made Music good. Yall are good at alot of things but music and dance will always be our thing.
@@TheRifild I mean when africans say that they are good at dancing but at the same time dancing doesn't build civilization and look at africa how it looks
I’ve always liked Dana White, so it’s really disappointing to hear him show this kind of disrespect to an articulate, well-mannered and deserving champion that is DDP…. Especially directly after what was a show-stopping title defense.
Why are you so salty in the comments. It’s true DDP fighting style is awkward and ugly but isn’t that what fighting is about ? Fighting is not pretty, the first fight between humans was probably to guys rolling in the mud bashing each other’s head with rock.
Wrestling in mma is lame af but it is still part of the game. It’s the wrestlers time right now in the ufc I just hope it doesn’t ruin the game long term.
Hard to analyze and beat a guy that he himself does not know what his own strategy is.😂. He just go's in there a relentlessly beats on them until they give up
There is clearly an agenda. It is obvious to see. Do not let it inspire rage against your brother. Do not let it inspire anger or fear. Do not allow it to do what it was meant to do. Be a good man no matter what the world says about you. Let the whole world be wrong and you be the one who stands righteous. Amen
Dricus is the drunken master of MMA. He has a terrible style but he gets the job done every time. However, somewhere out there in South Africa, the now retired Gareth 'Soldier Boy' McClennan must be wondering why he did not make it to the UFC instead of Dricus. Gareth choked out Dricus in the latter's fifth pro fight but yet it was Dricus who went on to become a super star and not Gareth. Weird!
Now Dana won't allow any more fighters from South Africa because he's scared they will clean up his boys. DDP is ranked no1 MW in the UFC but is only ranked No 8 in his hometown.
Dana and the UFC are sad the once was cash cow lost. How many more last chances to revive the cash cow will they give him. Khamzat next year and if Izzy loses, that’s then end of Izzy. Retired
Not sure why DDP fans, which I am also and South African, are so offended. Dana made a joke and there’s a bit of truth in it. Dricus has an awkward style, but very effective and entertaining
Dana isnt being disrespectful, the man is stating facts and the fact of the matter is that an unorthodox fighting style does have a great advantage, especially over the most experienced fighters.
Well a champion or someone experienced enough should be able to fight well enough against all styles. If you choke against someone just because they are unorthodox then how much of a champion are you really?
I don't get why people get upset because Dricus doesn't get respect as they believe he should, or that not everybody likes him. I doubt very much that he cares either way.
Uh he doesn’t even get promoted… neither him nor Tom aspinall… but Izzy and Jon jones get promoted. I wonder what the common theme is? Can you pick it out?

Maybe some people should stop watch MMA and start watching taekwendo and dance
@@user-ud7ko4cq1nhis name is “Dricus” not “Driscus”
Dana hates that DDP won. He can’t even hide it. I’m glad his favourite got choked
if he bed wrong he lose a lot of money.. so yah he is entitled to be upset.
Makes no sense DDP is on his way to becoming a superstar if he isn't already. He's gonna make him a lot of money
100% Agree
Maybe his second favorite......If Jones got choked Dana would be in the psych ward.
Yep 100 percent
Keep those tears held back, Dana 😂 DDP washed your whole division. Put some RESPECT on the CHAMP 🏆🇿🇦

Dana White needs to paint his nails pink.
Well, he did get into bed with BL

Mooi man😂
😂
Fokken se hom pel!
South Africa. Take your sport seriously. Teach your kids. Just to piss off the people who doubt us.
Hes cleaned out the division, put some respect on his name. Izzy is done, that was not the best izzy, id say Whittiker is next in line..
Why because he lost? If he won then he's great right? Stfu. Izzy got spanked by Sean as well, let me guess, not the best Izzy either right? GTFO.
yeah izzy is done, izzy just said it was his best version bcz all the training he did. he did a different body camp, where he focused more on weights and whatever tf he had planned. so i feel like he thinks that, he 100% is not normal izzy at all. his body may be in better shaoe, but his physical fighting ability he wasn’t the same.

It's as bad as McGregor... Wah!
Imagine if Izzy had won that fight? Would he still be as humble as Dricus?
I was worried he would spit on ddp if he had won
He would be mocking him like he did costa or worse lol
Oh I've got a feeling he'll earn everyone's respect over time as he achieves his goal of becoming THE GOAT
So Izzy is 1-3 in his last 4 and 4-4 in his last 8. Time to go to 205 and get beat up once or twice before retirement.
😂
Anybody esle he would of said they have a "unique" style not awkward, give some respect to the only AFRICAN CHAMPION 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Dricus is the best in the middleweight division, that's a fact
*Proceeds to glaze jones for the rest of the interview*
Pretty versus winning. Just people hating the Springboks.... The hate just fuel the springboks. Dricus is a springbok UFC champion *2
jesus Dana suck, give DDP some credit,same to Aspinall,scared to put him up against Jones ,you know he will brake his legacy
Dana is a hater
And a casual
I really don't get Dana. Wouldn't you as a fight promoter want to build up your champion and talk about him in a positive light?
Fighting is fighting. Dana should know that. He hates DDP.
Dricus is a beast! I’m and Izzy fan but Dricus is the new future of the division impressive!
"My father tell me, if you cant dance, dont dance."
