Hahaha that was such a solid moment with the hilarious expression. I love dricus, man. Super comfortable in his skin and a good representative for SA and martial arts. Nieuwe kampioen komt

He's a bisexual paragon.

He’s so flat and uninteresting. He bores me to death when he speaks.

@@FuhqEwe that's because he isn't interested in sensationalism, he's here to knock people out.

​@@FuhqEwe Do u want him to sing like Chris Brown when he speaks? I'm so uninterested I'm gna read comments n say how uninterested I am 😂 damn u bored hey

@@Matthew-Godsgift Hell, anything would help at this point for his bland and boring personality. He’s a sensational fighter, which makes his speaking appearance a disappointment in comparison. Yes, I am quite bored. Off work today, and we are snowed in with negative temperatures.

@@mattyzigzag thats rich coming from u

I want to know what you guys know, please!?

@@jaykotey6228 you will never know kid

@adamotto9595 OK, fair enough, but would you tell after the fight what it was? Asking as a big DDP fan, peace!

@@jaykotey6228 Bud it is quite complicated, what that statements means. First of all, you need to be born and bred South African to understand it. South Africa, has lots of sh!t going on. On average 75 people gets murdered every single day in South Africa, there is severe poverty, the government is corrupt, the police force is corrupt and provide criminals with weapons. Lots of sports in South Africa don't get funded like in America, Australia etc.. In rugby, we have limited resources, but we have won 4 rugby world cups from 8 attempts which is phenomenal. Compare to first world countries, we always have the least amount of resources, least amount of money, but we manage to compete with the best in the world. There is this South African spirit, that heart, the 11 different languages, despite all the poverty, the struggle, the government who steal all the money while so many people have no food to eat, South Africans don't have electricity always for 24 hours a day, some people have to walk kilometers to get water, some people's toilets are outside. All this somehow unite us. Despite everything, we pull through and we will make sure we beat the world when we compete. Despite everything we love our country we are patriots and we will prove that we are the best. The battles Dricus fight in that Octagon, is not nearly as big as the battles he fights in his own country. All these things contributed to most South Africans having a heart that is very difficult to describe. We don't give up, we can be tired AF, we will pull through etc.etc. Dricus comes from a small gym - CIT which he is Co-owner of. His Coach Morne Visser has been his first MMA coach and he is still his coach. Best coach in the world in my opinion. They started this thing with limited resources. In the meantime, Dricus won 3 world titles outside of the UFC, to even get recognised by the UFC, he had to put himself out there, as the UFC did not look at our fighters. Today, the gym CIT grew so much and they have great programs there, especially for juniors. You will see multiple UFC champions from that gym in about 10 to 20 years time. We in South Africa knew, since 2013 when he made his regional debut in South Africa, that he will become UFC champion one day. We knew that 10 years ago. He started his pro career off from an undefeated kickboxing career. In that Octagon, he shows that heart, even when he is tired, he will always be more active than his opponent, he will always hit harder than his opponent, there is a higher purpose driven by the circumstances in his country and also his family name that drives him. This is why we always laugh at people who says that he gasses. They don't know what we know. The hope that he creates for people in the continent will be insane when he wins that gold. Lastly, when he fought Whittaker, in our eyes Whittaker had no chance. Dricus was going to beat up Rob, because people don't know what we know. How many people outside of South Africa gave Dricus a chance? Bud, this what I said now, is 1% of what that statement means. Maybe one day, Dricus can put this in better words.

@kaosbruv4587 yes we are pumped can’t wait to see Sean get mauled. That guy can’t take what he himself dishes out

Afrikaner.

South Africans *

Sout van die aarde.

He's been verbally attacked about his bisexuality and I myself was outed by my babymom because someone found my old Reddit account with nudes on it. I owned it just like du Plessis and it makes me so proud to see.

​@user-jq1ys5yl2v yeah that's the exact same thing my guy

​@user-jq1ys5yl2v He's bisexual based on what exactly? As he said he has a girlfriend and kisses his family male or female

Agreed

Why are you trying to unstir this drama ?? You're right tho

Yeah it wasn't that bad but even that little bit hits Strickland hard, going through that abuse for years growing up. Dricus is a beauty to respect it now that he knows

​@@alexemihai2985come back to this comment after the event and apologize. And you WILL apologize.

İ feel like he is acting. He is not the same guy who was sitting behind Sean and doing stupid kid faces with thums down. That seemed more real.

😂 brb

😮😮😮

Inshallah 🙏

Being Christian has nothing to do with it

@@Filip-xx9lj for a non believer it might not

He’s not getting past Sean 🤣 you can get off your knees now

@@sevironside4073they all said that about whittaker.

@@sevironside4073Get your copes ready emoji boy. A box of tissues would be a good idea as paper towel can be a little harsh, and don't forget to wash your hands really well (especially the thumbs) for the hours you'll be spending curled up in the corner after DDP runs thru your Sean.

@@masbodycheck3219that is true BUT sean has all the experience he needs to beat ddp, I got a feeling Strickland gets it done in the later rounds or wins via decision

​@sevironside4073 said from your knees with Sean looking down

Feel the same way man. Love the way Sean handled Izzy I wish him the best but as a South African I am behind Dricus

Ddp getting dog walked bro

​@@givenchyoverallDoubt it bro. Make the bet if youre so sure.

Was Francis not real?

not and Izzy is from New Zealander. DDP is the REAL AFRICAN!@@mobbarley7517

Yeah

and the first African, residing in and training out of Africa

@@goyasmindstop 🍆🚲

Bisexuals come in one type and one type only, usually they are fairly mature and when it's time to fight I have yet to see one scared to throw down lol.

only ppl ive seen that hate DDP are Sean’s fans who were in their feelings about what DDP said about Sean a few weeks ago

There’s was a point where everyone hated DC and love JJ. People love chaos

​@@ikamfueytrue. People just want a show and guys that are grounded are not as popular. Stipe was never liked or respected as much as he should

Canada loves you as well Dricus. You are a paragon of sportsmanship.

Where he from 😂

He dishonored your flag. İ have very low opinion of your country if this guy makes you proud.

Well, he is the first MMA fighter in our country to fight for the UFC belt. How is that dishonoring the flag?

He is from the same country and city where Elon Musk is from.@@lasvegasreacherssmfh1407

@@kinggideon1151 dude's an ass! He made fun of someone's trauma and then said "he was making fun of it before me" like it makes it ok. By that logic everybody can say the N word because we say it to eachother. And he is BORİNG! Press conferences are my favorite thing (aside from the fight of course) and İ could only listen this dude for 12 minutes before almost falling asleep.

5/5 DDP is a lock

​@@fourvetperrie457 im betting on him rd2 finish

@@ivanmbdtfLittle bro I’d about to loose his money 🤣

Ngl kissing another man on the lips is wierd

​@@ghostfamilia- It may seem that way to a lot of the world but it's part of his culture and it's a very normal thing here. There's nothing remotely gay about kissing family here. I can see why it's weird in places where it's socially abnormal to do that, but it's different here and not an indictation that someone is gay.

@@TheInnerSanctum434 I understand kinda thanks ... I mean I personally wouldn't do it .. but I get that it's a form of love ... as long as he ain't kissing random dudes lol

Isn't it enormous for any of the fighters on the roster to win the belt??

@@Brother_frojd of course it is! It's an incredible achievement for everybody! The work done from an average person to achieve that top level is beyond me...!

and we will be the only team to win 3 back to backs. LMAO

I think he meant first to win back to back away from home.

I'm hoping they do it. They have had a phenomenal team for a long time

Rugby is a soft ass sport

compared to? nfl? lol yeah ok keep dreaming bud@@sevironside4073

You can identify with Sean as a fighter just as easily as a champ. That being said, he’s getting beaten.
