Especially when you realise he waited 7 years to do that, so that means when the kid was acting up in the ring at the time, he was only 5 years old!? Can a 5 year old even comprehend their own actions at that age?? Not sure, but a man Adesanya's age should definitely f_cking know better! Wtf? Bring on Poatan vs Adesanya 3 haha
That kid probably gets roasted by his friends worse than that, I hate Izzy but I never gave a fuck about that tbh. It’s like nowhere near the top 5 worst things he has done
Omg don’t troll a kid after his dad gets KO’d… smh the reason we live in a soft respect my pronouns every kid gets a trophy society now. Why go watch your dad professionally fist fight if it’s too much trauma? Like what?
Dricus knows not to worry about himself here in SA because we got our boy. Viva and Chael is definitely hurt by those comments by Dricus and worm because he can't take criticism. He wasn't called "stupid" but instead what he said was stupid. There is difference because to call someone "stupid" is an insult but to call something they say"stupid" is just criticism.
Dricus said before the Whitaker fight that he thinks Adesanya would be an easier opponent than Rob, in his opinion. He thought Rob would be his greatest challenge. So why would he be scared all of a sudden? He was under the impression that he was going to fight Izzy but they give him Rob instead. Dricus being scared doesn't make sense.
DDP hasn't ducked a fight in his career, He was injured and wanted to be 100% for the biggest fight of his career. The fact that UFC was basically forcing him into the fight, fit or not, is disgusting. Makes me wonder how many other sub-par performances were due to undisclosed injuries.
I think it's worth mentioning that Chael in his most recent vid stated 'it doesn't matter if he's injured'. Chael also stated that he fought injured on many occasions. But I think that Dricus has been quite active in the past, isn't afraid to be active, and was already injured in the whittaker fight. Of course Dricus wants a full camp for the title fight, and he deserves that. DDP doesn't deserve to be given 7 weeks prep including treating injury, paperwork and camp. That's just unfair, the UFC and CKB know that's unfair. It's reasonable to suggest they were deliberately setting it up to give Izzy an advantage.
It's a easy way to avoid the fight. They know Dricus is a nightmare matchup. Tell him he's lost his title shot and Hope he will fight someone else and potentially lose.
Hit the nail right on the head, Dricus probably made a business decision to give himself the best chance against what would've been a MAJOR uphill battle in the buildup with all the stupid race stuff. It's still gonna work out for him because you cant erase his last fight
@RedPillMMA I agree with you my brother and lemme just say that I have so much respect for media ppl like yourself fighting for the truth, fighting for fairness and just being genuine Keep it up my brother
Just the very best video youve put out ,so much to unpack in 11 minutes ,Thats the reason Dricus stepped back ,youve painted quite a picture its up to the viewers to frame it and hang it up now ,i agree with you ,please choose your words carefully in regards to Chael ,dont forget he went after Rogan for yappin about givin away secrets off the "game" even with hes monster platform Rogan needed to address the issue on hes podcast to set it straight ,Chaels is all for Dricus hes a fan and he knows hes not scared to get in a blue with Israel ,anybody who dedicates their life to any combat sport wants to fight but like you said this is a very different scared ,been waiting for this response and its top shelf ,thankyou
Im a white afrikaner south african and I can tell you straight out that Dricus pulled out to let the hype about this race thing die down a bit. Racism is an extremely touchy subject in our country and Adesanya I can promise you are well aware of the fact and used it as a tool to get to Dricus and try to "cancel" him. Well played by Dricus and best move for his career going forward. Best course of action for him would be to never do the izzy fight,and give that whole circus a miss.
I think what people don't realise is that in South Africa we have africans from all over the continent coming here to train. Even though this is a small scene compared to globally, we have the continent's only MMA promotion and the most gyms . All the Africans (of any colour) are hyped to see one of our own make it. It isn't even about race, we don't even have to like DDP. They are part of the same MMA scene/community, and seeing someone break through (even opponents) like this is huge for everyone here.
redpill wants to build bridges not burn em.. its often tough to spot a lie, but you can tell when someone is telling the truth tho.. tryina unravel chaels reasoning is a blackhole of a rabbithole.. bless u pill, for seeking and representing truth, reasoning and logic.. whole time, blessings, on God
Love Chael as a fighter and a commentator, really dig this channel as well. There is plenty of room for respectful disagreement! I think Chael is keeping things alive, it's his nature!
Chael is up to something. He knows full well that MMA fighters are not afraid of each other. He is giving DDP a boat load of air time which is going to count in Dricus ' favour.
As a doctor myself and being quite knowledgeable on injuries sustained in contact sports I can attest to not always having immediate symptoms in patients with severe ankle/foot injuries (Swelling/inflammation takes time to occur). I also know that DDP makes fight decisions with his coaches and team. He stated clearly that he would consider the fight with Izzy if he can get the turnaround done and thankfully opted against it with his team. Whether he would have won with the sub-par version of Izzy that showed up is irrelevant. He is the no 1 contender and Izzy can challenge him after he beats Strickland if he is deemed the best contender at the time. Perhaps Izzy can face Hamzat/Ricky Martin first. As for Chael and your question: He was acting stupidly for airing his uninformed opinion of DDP's injury and thereafter acting childishly about the after-effects...but this is a product of the PR system of the UFC. Whether its Chael in his personal capacity or part of the UFC 4D chess as you put it I find it despicable that these fighters are used as pawns and their efforts and dreams treaded on for the sake of money. If we as fans do not applaud UFC decisions and in fact insist on good matchmaking with rightful contenders and champions, we may eventually lose the opportunity to witness real greatness.
Bro, I'm South African and from Pretoria and I can tell you these facts! 1. We don't care what people say about skin color to us. 2. We are not scared of any fight. 3. We don't do click bating or sensationalism. 4. We are proud, educated and respectful people. 5. We let our sport do the talking. 6. I can tell you Dricus has already moved on from Isi's rants, we get them all day here in South Africa as some black people here say that to us everyday, we are numb to that stuff as we know it's not a general feeling here. Just thought you may need some clarity on how we think here. Love the show, keep sharing truth!! 💪🏽😎🤙🏼
Man, great video and insights! It never entered mind about DDP going against the machine. To have to be called a cracker or a N, during the press conferences and not to be able to say anything remotely close, would be difficult for any man that's going to fight another man. And, we also would have to think about every interview DDP would go on with these race baiting "journalists." Good DDP is smart and has a great team around him. Keep up the great work!
I have complete respect for you not just going after chael in an attempt at some cheap clout chael is a legend of the sport and deserves the respect you showed towards him
He's alway helped DDP since day 1. Chael knows the business of building interest more than most. Simply talking about DDP is promotion. Chael mentioned a few times he's a fan of DDP
All Dricus needs to do is remind Chael that he failed at 3 world title shots, talked his way into a third shot AFTER falling at his second shot. Add on that he's a known steroid cheat and that's it. Just simple facts. But he probably won't do that because his ego isn't as big as Chael's.
For the 10th time Chael said himself "no matter if Dricuss vs Whitaker goes one round or five they will be hurt in ways we will never know and unlikely ready in 7 weeks" somehow he forgets that. Chael while entertaining he is a true socio-psychopath
After Aljo vs TJ. Reporter: " Were you aware TJ had that shoulder injury?". Dana: " I had NO idea and its a PROBLEM!". Reporter: " How could the athletic commission miss that?" Dana: " Well uh, how could they know if he didn't tell us, he shouldve told us!! ". No matter what they say, thank you DDP for not showing up injured at a title fight and potentially robbing yourself and the fans from an amazing fight. Everybody had something to say about TJ showing up like that and having nothing to offer in a title fight.
Ye I don't agree with Chail on DDP but gotta respect him.Hes definitely a showman.He may be trolling a bit as well,he knows Dricus aint scared to fight Izzey,but he also knows that it brings a lot of net traffic
I’m a fan of DDD but he was absolutely shook when Izzy confronted him. I don’t think DDD was scared of Izzy I think he was scared of racial backlash living in South Africa
There was no fear at all from Dricus he just wanted to fight for the title at his best and being injured would have hampered that. At the very most he may have been frustrated by not being able to respond to a racial attack but never scared. He will become the MW champ at some stage in any case and would be an amazing brand representative far better than many others and with that will draw popularity among fans. Chael should take him at his word not doing so is calling Dricus a liar. Who wants to watch a title fight when an opponent isn’t at their very best.
Unfortunately DDP made a decision that hurt his career whether he was hurt or not or it was the right decision or not. DDP in my opinion made the right decision for his personal fighting career meaning not getting beat for lack of preparation.
Yeah I like Chaels vids, I often don't agree with him and sometimes he has some strange, unexpected and interesting angles, but that's why I watch lol.
Chael is a master of the game within the sport. Dana doesn't like guys who pull out of fights that could potentially make the UFC big money. Dricus vs Izzy potentially would have been a bigger fight number wise had Dricus beat Izzy in that fight. UFC Africa could have been a go!
Got to admit I was an Izzy fan, his style and ability was awsome but when he started using the race card and all the other b's I went off him. Looking forward to Duplesis Vs Strickland, great fight but I fancy the African native for the win.
As a South African Dricus was scared of the race connotations because of the history of it in South Africa. He is an Afrikaaner and wants to be known as a proud African and not by past mistakes
@RedPillMMA love your work and the channel 👍 If you want some more inside info on Dricus and his injury ie the whole Chael thing, check out UFC fighter Cameron Saaimans latest podcast titled Sean Strickland vs Dricus Du Plessis for the middlweight title? Also Cameron doesnt mince his words amd straight out roasts Chael. Enjoy 👍
Chael absolutely lambasted Dricus for being stupid in taking the Whittaker fight, where he stood no chance, according to Chael.....his argument was that Dricus had a guaranteed showdown with Izzy and that he should wait it out.....
I don’t understand how anyone watches Chaels channel 7 minutes video - 2 minute ad read, 4 mins rambling about some extract story (in the 1980 NCAA wrestling championship) then one actual minute on the story It’s a shame he makes content this way because I’d love if he just gave actual analysis on the topic
Nobody is making videos about Izzy asking Sean not to make fun of his dog because it’s inconsequential to anything in fighting. You know what does have consequences that ripple thru the division? Not taking the opportunity to fulfill your life’s dream because your foot hurts.
Chael is the real deal doos! DDP would have destroyed that Adesanya. I like Stricland but he even knows DDP will be a tough fight. We also all forgetting about Khamzat. Strickland wants Connonier because it's grudge. DDP will get his chance. I predict Khamzat vs Dricus. That will be a fight.
IDK, a true warrior would accept a title fight if he was standing there with broken arms and legs. If you have to pull out later so be it. You don't pull out a couple days later. So yeah, DDP is scared AF. Regardless, neither Izzy, Sean, or DDP don't even have a punchers chance against a Chimaev or Nickal so at the end of the day all three are irrelevant and doomed.
It's not Beyond Chael Sonnen to say something that he thanks not be square on the nose, because he wants to get a rise and wants to fire up a specific individual. Chael Sonnen is a hyper-intellectual so it's always important when listening to him to think why would he be saying what he saying. Sometimes it's just not as simple as he thinks the guy was faking maybe he wants to light a fire under the dude's ass
Anyone who fails to see that Adesanya was fully justified to do that to Pereira's son, does not have a sound analytical mind or just has a blind hatred for Adesanya. Pereira never apologised for his son's despicable behaviour so he is to blame for being a bad parent, at least in this instance. Therefore, he taught the kid a lesson his dad should have taught him.
Hey Ladds .. Could Ye do me a favour ? Please try LIKE and Share this video.... Apparently liking the vid does a lot ! Cheers Lads
Bro, are you also Napoleon Blownapart RUclips channel?
'I am not adverse to conspiratorial ideas'?
How about 'I am not averse to conspiratorial ideas'?
Jus' sayin!
No. Never heard of him.. @@thejoke2791
Shared it on my social media and with Dricus ty again for another great story ❤
Note the silent s at end of du Plessis😉
when Adesanya trolled Pereira's kid, I really lost respect for him. Glad that division is getting interesting again.
Especially when you realise he waited 7 years to do that, so that means when the kid was acting up in the ring at the time, he was only 5 years old!? Can a 5 year old even comprehend their own actions at that age?? Not sure, but a man Adesanya's age should definitely f_cking know better! Wtf? Bring on Poatan vs Adesanya 3 haha
Izzy is a child. Pisses me off that people defend it saying that Alex's kid deserved it! Unbelievable brainwashed tools
@@Palaecro That's pretty traumatizing for the kid.
That kid probably gets roasted by his friends worse than that, I hate Izzy but I never gave a fuck about that tbh. It’s like nowhere near the top 5 worst things he has done
Omg don’t troll a kid after his dad gets KO’d… smh the reason we live in a soft respect my pronouns every kid gets a trophy society now.
Why go watch your dad professionally fist fight if it’s too much trauma? Like what?
DDP shouldn't give Ariel the time of day. Ariel is a weasel
yep ....slimey one ..i seen why dana dont like him

I'm gonna add SEWER KiNG to that short list.
@@PixelThief69 Agreed, Sewer King is new but that guy is gonna blow up.
@@boostedchicken001 Yeah the Mexican MMA actually believed Strickland would win
Chael just doesn’t like that he’s wrong
@doubler4064 of course that's what he's doing
Probably as simple as that,his ego is bruised.
Chael is a bizarre narcissistic sociopath type personality...he hides it well most of the time but you can tell he has absolutely zero scruples
@@milesstover3724 he’s also a major engagement farmer
chael is natural heel .
Chael is angry that people have turned on Adesanya. He argues that Adesanya has taken over from Connor - insane.
Him saying that Adesanya has taken over from Conor is just Chael having a little dig at Conor, as it's obvioulsy not, and also never could be true.
DDP hasn't ducked a fight in his career, He was injured and wanted to be 100% for the biggest fight of his career. The fact that UFC was basically forcing him into the fight, fit or not, is disgusting. Makes me wonder how many other sub-par performances were due to undisclosed injuries.
I don't think DDP was scared. Chael is the ultimate button pusher.
I think it's worth mentioning that Chael in his most recent vid stated 'it doesn't matter if he's injured'. Chael also stated that he fought injured on many occasions. But I think that Dricus has been quite active in the past, isn't afraid to be active, and was already injured in the whittaker fight.

Dana and his perl necklace boy
@chrisschipperthats why sonnen wasnt truly elite ..look at ddps record of 20 and 2 ..he didnt get there by being stupid
Big deal.
All injuries aren't created equal.
What injury did Chael fight with? A slightly sprained thumb? A bruised thigh?
It's a easy way to avoid the fight. They know Dricus is a nightmare matchup. Tell him he's lost his title shot and Hope he will fight someone else and potentially lose.
@@jack-of-all-trades1234exactly. Izzy saying he fought injured before. Like ok bro, it obviously wasn't a bad injury.
DDP ain’t scared and pretty sure Chael misinterpreted what he meant about hiding an injury, he’s butthurt 😂😂
Hit the nail right on the head, Dricus probably made a business decision to give himself the best chance against what would've been a MAJOR uphill battle in the buildup with all the stupid race stuff. It's still gonna work out for him because you cant erase his last fight

BEST MMA commentator!
PR...plus no friction with the powers that be... both bring the same end result... spot on
Chael is up to something. He knows full well that MMA fighters are not afraid of each other. He is giving DDP a boat load of air time which is going to count in Dricus ' favour.
In chael's last video or second to last video he did state even after all the drama that he is still a fan of dricus so you might be right there.
As a doctor myself and being quite knowledgeable on injuries sustained in contact sports I can attest to not always having immediate symptoms in patients with severe ankle/foot injuries (Swelling/inflammation takes time to occur).

Yes Adesanya is making it about skin color. Thank you for saying it.
There's something about UK analysis that just accurately captures things.
Bro, I'm South African and from Pretoria and I can tell you these facts!
1. We don't care what people say about skin color to us.
2. We are not scared of any fight.
3. We don't do click bating or sensationalism.
4. We are proud, educated and respectful people.
5. We let our sport do the talking.
6. I can tell you Dricus has already moved on from Isi's rants, we get them all day here in South Africa as some black people here say that to us everyday, we are numb to that stuff as we know it's not a general feeling here.
Just thought you may need some clarity on how we think here.

They will kill you all if they get the opportunity.
Kyle Nelson droppin pure factz
Brilliant content every time
Chael is 100% correct about Dricus being afraid of Adesanya, but it is 100% about the race aspect, which in this climate a white man can never win.
This is my favourite channel, i come here several times a day too see if you got a new story. Just love this channel ❤❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
Man, great video and insights! It never entered mind about DDP going against the machine. To have to be called a cracker or a N, during the press conferences and not to be able to say anything remotely close, would be difficult for any man that's going to fight another man.
And, we also would have to think about every interview DDP would go on with these race baiting "journalists." Good DDP is smart and has a great team around him.
Keep up the great work!
👍#641 😁 happy i found your channel , love your perspective on this issue re adasanya ... and ddp keep em coming

Keep your channel real Red Pill , it should be at 25,000 by the new year !
Chaels never wrong. Undefeated Undisputed
Unfortunately DDP made a decision that hurt his career whether he was hurt or not or it was the right decision or not.
DDP in my opinion made the right decision for his personal fighting career meaning not getting beat for lack of preparation.
Thought the exact same thing. The airtime Chael is giving DDP is awesome, although i dont agree with Chael as well, but keep DDP on everyone's mind 👏
Love your channel, thanks for sharing. You always get the story straight.
Chael is not trying to help DDP. Not even a little.
Chael is a Company Man....a Narrative Man.....who shoots Blanks, thinking its Missiles. He could be the Freddie Krueger of UFC.
“I have to tell the truth”… Naw I was mostly lying, that was clickbait.
Yeah I like Chaels vids, I often don't agree with him and sometimes he has some strange, unexpected and interesting angles, but that's why I watch lol.
DDP didn’t take the fight cuz he was injured and needed a full camp. He deserves that in the championship fight.
Chael is a master of the game within the sport. Dana doesn't like guys who pull out of fights that could potentially make the UFC big money. Dricus vs Izzy potentially would have been a bigger fight number wise had Dricus beat Izzy in that fight. UFC Africa could have been a go!
Uncle Chael goin hard on DPP
I don't think fear and cowardice is a big South African thing... I don't think giving up, is either.
Dricus vs adesanya is very interesting
Got to admit I was an Izzy fan, his style and ability was awsome but when he started using the race card and all the other b's I went off him. Looking forward to Duplesis Vs Strickland, great fight but I fancy the African native for the win.
Why on earth would he be scared of Adesanya LOL!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂Dricus is a absolute beast!!

Nobody is making videos about Izzy asking Sean not to make fun of his dog because it’s inconsequential to anything in fighting. You know what does have consequences that ripple thru the division? Not taking the opportunity to fulfill your life’s dream because your foot hurts.
Chael = UFC MAN so full on! Credibility is low.
Thoughts on Grasso vs. Shevchenko ?
Respect
Chael is the real deal doos! DDP would have destroyed that Adesanya. I like Stricland but he even knows DDP will be a tough fight. We also all forgetting about Khamzat. Strickland wants Connonier because it's grudge. DDP will get his chance. I predict Khamzat vs Dricus. That will be a fight.
I think there should be 3 month minimum between fights just to avoid any controversy
IDK, a true warrior would accept a title fight if he was standing there with broken arms and legs. If you have to pull out later so be it. You don't pull out a couple days later. So yeah, DDP is scared AF. Regardless, neither Izzy, Sean, or DDP don't even have a punchers chance against a Chimaev or Nickal so at the end of the day all three are irrelevant and doomed.
Chael said “a tough guy hides a limp walking into an octogan, not walking out of it” undisputed!
He’s also saying…the injury is probably real but you should fight anyway
7:20 That's the dumbest point I've ever heard.
It's not Beyond Chael Sonnen to say something that he thanks not be square on the nose, because he wants to get a rise and wants to fire up a specific individual. Chael Sonnen is a hyper-intellectual so it's always important when listening to him to think why would he be saying what he saying. Sometimes it's just not as simple as he thinks the guy was faking maybe he wants to light a fire under the dude's ass
Anyone who fails to see that Adesanya was fully justified to do that to Pereira's son, does not have a sound analytical mind or just has a blind hatred for Adesanya. Pereira never apologised for his son's despicable behaviour so he is to blame for being a bad parent, at least in this instance. Therefore, he taught the kid a lesson his dad should have taught him.
Chael sonne works in a strange way never no what he's thinking
Interesting point about DDP being caught off guard wrt race. he my have indeed thought "woaaw, didn’t see this coming and def not prepared"
