Hard not to like this guy. Really well spoken, cool under pressure and just a class act all around.
Thats our South African blood
Now THAT... is how a man and a champion conducts business. Good for you Dricus.. as a fellow South African you make us proud... win or lose we will support you brother!!
I agree with you but for sure he is going to win🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I mean white south Africans won the karmic lottery
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
african GSP but more exciting
🇿🇦
DDP and Strickland have been the biggest breath of fresh air for MW. 2 entirely different men, but both very likeable in their own ways.
I’m starting to like Dricus the more we get to know him. Seems like a really decent human being. Good role model for the sport.
He's your typical white South African. They're some of the most down to earth people on the planet. I'm a big fan of rugby and no nation produces the physical talent that South Africa does. They're built differently down there and never shy away from a fight.
@@PB22559we don't read much nice things about SA, so that was very appreciated🖤🇿🇦🔥
I remember seeing him. Back in the day against yannick bahati u should check its the craziest of his fights ever and the most heated one too
@@PB22559Sean on video threatening to stab and buying a knife but my g dricus from the stabbing capital of the world not afraid 😂
decent person unlike strickland
Really difficult to root against this guy
Pretty easy, just his accent his enough not to like him
It would have been better if he took the belt from Izzy. I'm rooting for Sean but I think Dricus has enough game to beta him. I don't think it's going to be an easy fight though
It’s pretty easy actually
@@sevironside4073that’s what I reckon too lmao
@@sevironside4073 i also love everything else except the accent. Sometimes I pretend he is dutch and I like him more.
Respect for Dricus for offering to take the blame for the fight so Sean wouldn’t get in trouble. That’s a true man to not want Sean to get arrested
Or maybe if he’d press charges the fight would fall off?… I think he had no choice
@@VenTv2you may or may not be right but we all know people like Ian Garry would have pressed charges
@@VenTv2sean might get arrested for hate speech here in Canada
@@devadasnstill an assumption. Colby would be a better example.

Notice how in depth he answers all the questions. He takes time to respect the people and the reporters. Amazing future champ 🔥
Absolutely. Not telling everyone to f off and ranting like a lunatic.
Levelheaded and professional, really a good look for the future of the sport
@@user-rw2pm8vv4nYup, but strickland fans would call this being a sheep or submitting to the matrix or something
@@communitygame99 😂
DDP is class act. Rooting for him this weekend
100%. Character speaks. Stay Legit
Hes mentally strong no doubt
This interview shows Dricus is genuinely a good guy, I’m a fan
Remember marty juiceman has one of these jackets 😂
This is wild, two guys in their prime, in the best shape of their lives with all their belief and will on the line
It's even funnier that Sean Strickland just bought a knife in the latest UFC Embedded vlog series :D
Threatening to stab DDP is a new low for the hypocrite cry baby.
@@PB22559rent free Lmao
Just another thing that makes me think they’re doing subtle string pulling and plot writing since the wwe merger.
Heh. What I was thinkin@@ben5154
That also is a clear sign of fear, as if Sean suspects he can't win in the cage with fists; he needs a weapon instead. @@PB22559
"We have this crazy South African guy who is super strong and weirdly knocks everybody out" - Dricus is self aware lol
I'm rooting for Strickland but i have the utmost respect for DDP. This is gonna be a great fight
Awesome to see the Dricus discuss the Sean DM.
This man is the definition of a class act. I love Strickland, love DDP and I respect the living hell out of both of them. I will be a mess come this fight but I cant wait.
That's our proudly South African Bro right there, 🇿🇦
DDP clearly has the mental edge
Sean doesn't care about the belt, this guy absolutely does. I hope he gets the W
I love that Dricus legitimately seems afraid of cold weather.
mzansi is behind u champ 🇿🇦
Bro how good does this guy talk lol. Sounds genuine too.
Gay
Dricus and Strickland are real men. May the best man win. Respect both regardless.
What is a man
@@bs1820 maybe something you should look into some time or the other
@@bs1820 That us a question one must ask ones self.
@@bs1820an adult human with male reproductive pathways
The guy presents himself like a champion. Love his mindset.
Yes. 1000%
total professional
Then cut to Sean -- chewing on his pillow, crying, holding a knife, mumbling how bad his dad treated him. Train wreck.
Dricus is the typical afrikaner we are a proud people! Raised to respect other people but don't let them walk over you! Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie!!!
It’s hard not to like this guy
Agreed. He is almost like GSP
He kisses dudes on the mouth
@@dreadnaughttacticalOng that’s werid
@@dreadnaughttacticalmeh
@@dreadnaughttacticalthese "kiss guys" comments are getting real old real quick.
The Afrikaner is a christian culture with christian morals and values.

We try to live peaceful lives, being courteous to one another and humble in general.
Yes, we kiss the people we care about and we don't care what insecure beta boys says about it.

Strickland will make headlines at some point, and nothing to do with the UFC.
Homicide
Probably after his fighting career or when he's on a losing streak
That may be the truest comment ever 😂
Dude is a Class act
Respect for Sean to text him and let him know he would re-track if DDP felt he crossed the Line…. That i actually love… and i actually like DDP on this today… respect to both👌
All class this guy !Backing you all the way DDP🇿🇦💪🏻
Africa is supporting you Dricus....
Dricus there like 'they aint caught me yet!'
Lol
dricus what I love about your jerneny is as Africa's we all standa by you 100% 🇿🇦 you have shown as much as the world shows they are not united due to race or what ever is going on in first world country's.. we are united standing by you just as the boka.
ngiyabonga mfowethu uyakhuthaza🇿🇦
I'm a huge fan of DDP; how could you not be? He has the mindset of a champion, and I believe he would make a great champion… but whether you like it or not, we need the Sean Stricklands of the world. 👋🎤
I agree 100 percent, infact I think DDP is a far better man than Strickland, _but_ Strickland is the Champion we *need* and cause of that I'm rooting for Mr Strickland
I hear you and I agree that pushback is way overdue. But smack talk? That's not the gentleman's way, it's crude and doesn't make you any new friends. So when he got smacked back Strikland proved that he is every bit the soyboy, man bun, safe space advocate he accuses others of being. If he had manned up and taken it on the chin like he expects others to do, great but he didn't do that, he did the opposite and I lost my respect for him.
DDP is a nice respectful martial artist. Hard to root for one guy, I’m just gonna enjoy the fight
@@Work782clown
Chalk and cheese compared to strickland's interview. Like an adult speaking vs a teenager.
It’s 5am on Sunday morning in South Africa and we will be watching you bring the belt home. It’s the Bok Fire!!! Win win
Well said Dricus holding thumbs,believe.
Dricus knows exactly what he is doing. He know what he did with izzy and the african champ thing.
He knows what he said to sean and what has happened afterwards.
He is playing this game reeeeeal interesting and very very cerebral.
dricus got crushed by izzy over trash talk so bad he chickened out of the fight, ddp is a flincher.
I really don't think that's the case @@13anjowizard
@@13anjowizard that 13 referring to your IQ?
Whoop whoop, jy maak ons trots Dricus!
something like that is exactly his words
Rooting for DDP 😂💯
1000%
What a gentleman and class act. Let's go Drickus!
DDP really won me over here. Hard not to like this man tbh. I had him as the fav but was rooting for strickland now im kinda indifferent
Dricus stops Sean, anything can happen in a fight but I'm confused as to how supposed "experts" think otherwise. I'm a big fan of Sean but Dricus is on another level in every skill set, except maybe the slight edge in boxing goes to Sean. In fact, Dricus doesn't just stop Sean, he breaks him.
Man this gonna be a great fight
9:00 DAMN. That was savagely worded
I like both these guys for very different reasons!
Dricus Stillknox du Plessis we are so proud of you - Thank you for bringing the belt to Africa and specifically South Africa - Youv'e got this !!!
I love Dricus
It's amazing how many people can't pronounce Dricus' name. It's not difficult.
Well done Dricus! Today's a jacket...Saturday's the belt!
Why is Jeff Novitzky still around? I thought he quit when USADA quit. He calls him "dry-coos" instead of "Dree-coos", get that Novitzky guy out of here.
It's not "dree-coos" either. it's more like dree-chis with a short e sound instead of the longer ee sound in the first syllable and the second syllable, chis, sounding like Chris without the r. Oh, and don't forget to roll the the r when you say his name. Now say it again - Dricus!
BOEREWORS 🇿🇦🦁
MMA Guru gooning to this
Can't wait for Jon Jones to get his jacket lol
It's not Drycis it's Dricus, if you can say tree then you can say Dricus, just take the T out of tree and put a D in front and the cus at the end, it will look like this Dreecus if you can pronounce that than you can pronounce Dricus
dont care tbqh
DDP is a company man. Strickland is his own man. One earns respect the other demands it. I respect both but when the SHTF I'd rather have Strickland by my side.
Thats a cool lookig jacket... gives me slight cyberpunk vibes for some reason?
It's a sweet jacket alright, I'd get it.
The first real African champion. Looking forward to his win.
I will show you the real African champion, you will see
Ngannou has Cameroonian citizenship, not just a claim to coming from there like Izzy or Usman; so he was the first real African champion, end of story. Dricus can be the first one still fighting from his home country.
@@ben5154 That was Dricus's point though. He's the only person who stayed the entire time regardless of reason. Francis didn't respond, because it's totally understandable given his circumstances and I'm sure Dricus wasn't thinking of him with his initial comment. If you want to say that I have no problem with it though.
@@ben5154remind me again where Francis lives and trains?
Btw, Izzy has a Nigerian passport
He will be a 4th African champion
Damn they should at least make that jacket look good 😂
Paulo Costa should win a whole wardrobe.
Sean vs DDP I bet there’s an illegal strike, eye-poke, knee to downed opponent. Something dirty
I love how nobody comments on if the roles were reverse sean would be exploiting this to his advantage
really looking forward to this fight, but i'm gonna be happy and sad at the same time no matter who wins since i really like both of them
Good to see a decent person as champ again. Been a minute.
Jeez, it's gonna be hard to see either loose. May the best man win.
This is the rare time I disagree with that sentiment. DDP is clearly a better man but Strickland is the Champion we need
lose.
Yeah the jacket pays the bills
I think strickland might be bipolar the way hes been acting lately. Crying online one day to threatening to stab someone hes scheduled to fight
I like the entertainment.
I think most people that get in a case to fight might be bipolar if you know what I mean
@@jm12green31as someone with plenty of friends and acquaintances that are bipolar, no, I don't get what you mean
I’m bi-polar. I don’t act this way.
@@jm12green31you watch too many movies
Love this guy. And love the shoutout to MMA Guru!
What Sean said to him is intense. DDP has the edge in sheer intelligence.
Well done Dricus.. most tested and clean..
The jacket is funny. Dricis was 100% on gear for his first televised fight. Go look at the differences.
'One of the most tested' why aren't they all tested the same??
A somewhat serious answer to this question would be manpower and resources. How many fighers are on the roster versus how many lackeys do the testing federations have to fly all over, coordinate, sample and send back to HQ for verification. I agree with you 100% it would be great if everyone could be tested an equal amount of times.
Jeff The Golden snitch Nowitzki hogging the spotlight
Haha I thought they were done on the 1st ?
@@JoshMacDonald-zj1vv usada yeah but the golden snitch staying
Novitzky is a tool
I just met Dricus and his girlfriend at the Marriot hotel in Toronto about 2 hrs ago. Nice & respectful guy. 👊 good guy all around.
South Africans are another breed. They built different
Strickland buying a knife in today’s embedded is interesting..
Is this what South African accent sound like ? Pretty close to Australian accent tbh
Yes that's what it sounds like and they're not too far off the Aussies in fairness.
We have a few different accents. Dricus's accent is that of an Afrikaans speaker, quite distinct from some of the other South African accents. But yeah, we're often accused of sounding like Aussies, but for us, there is a marked difference.
Plenty of different accents, depending on your location & culture. This is an accent mostly associated with Afrikaans Boys from Pretoria, you travel 1 hour south you end up with accents such as Trevor Noah & Tyla.
@@nick1998no1 hebana, british? This guy fell on his kop
@@nick1998no1 brudda i'm from South Africa. We have 11 official languages, an individual would speak 2,3,4+ of those languages. Non Blacks make only 20% of our population. Descendants from the british are a very small portion, a minority amongst the white population.
Good man
Strickland trying to sabotage this entire fight because of trash talk is just weak.
You thinking that’s what was happening is weak. They had real beef, and they also squashed it. That’s all there is to it.
It really is. And compare that to DDP who's willing to do anything to save fight even refusing to press any charges on Strickland
“Trying to sabotage” y’all are weak lmfao. DDP said to Strickland right there on camera “fight me now then”. Don’t say that to someone like Strickland lmao. Dude is the definition of any time anywhere.
@@AMediumSizedKodiak They're talking about Sean saying he would stab DDP and that he'd get arrested and the 8 weeks of training would be for nothing. Keep up
@@AMediumSizedKodiak Lol, what're you saying? Strickland say he was going to stab Dricus over this if he talk about the abuse instead of settling it in the octagon. And get "deported" or go to "prison".
Thats a nice jacket though
Costa has been tested 1000 times😂
The guy who oversees the anti-doping program does absolutely nuttin'
Whoo s dook is that guy
thinking about that jacket
Straight pride
Im becoming a fan.
Strickland is probably my favorite fighter but man it’s hard not to like this guy he’s all class
An Uber? man you'd figure the UFC can afford Limo's or rentals at least for their Main-Event...DAMN!
I really like DDP he seems like an awesome guy im rooting for him on Saturday
Mooi man
sean is a star no doubt, the numbers prove it but ddp is so down to earth and likable, he's on his way up forsure and if he gets it done which he more than likely will it will skyrocket it!
Dricus has grown on me
Jeff is about as legit as a Nigerian politician
Hahaha hearing how stoic he is in the face of a legit psychopath and then hearing how shocked he was by the cold was a hilarious twist 😅 Loved the shoutout to the Canadian kindness, and how he tried timmies for the first time the correct way - having it bought for you by a Canuck!
Sean picked up a knife at bass pro. Better be careful haha
Why is the guitarist from a perfect circle handing Dricus a Jacket?
