Nice late night upload friend! At least for me here in phx it was like 2am. And I’m working the night shift so this perfect for my break ! Thanks for all the hard work man. Love it
Thank you for watching
Blue Mountain is definitely the place to go. The Blue Mountains are a very old range (450 million years) so they have experienced a lot of erosion compared to the younger Rocky Mountains in the west or the Appalachians further east. It is still enjoyable to ski there, and the village was constructed by the same company who designed Whistler-Blackcomb in BC.
Blue is a 2 hour drive from Toronto, but he could stay there instead of doing a back-forth trip for the day - plenty of accommodation and nightclubs / bars
quality channel ! , keep up the good work!
I'm a Nigertian. African has got 4 super guys in the MMA Adesanya, Nigannou, Kamaru and Dricus. For all practical purposes Adesanya and kamaru are in the twilight years of their carriers, Ngannou has opted out of MMA. The only African standing now is Dricus and we will give him all our supports and best wishes. I am 100 percent in support of Dricus to bring back the belt to the continent. Aside that, Du Plessis is the most humble, respectful and proudest African. And the new middleweight champion is DRICUS DU PLESSIS!!!!!!!
Well said brother.
Props to you for saying that, a lot of ppl out there seem to believe just because you're a white person in Africa, you're not a real African or if you're black or brown in the USA, you're not a real American lol. It's BS and completely backwards thinking... Race has nothing to do with raising a flag & representing your country / the part of the world you grew up in.
As an Aussie, I was rooting for Whittaker during their fight, but Dricus gained a new fan! He’s extremely respectful, well mannered and a true warrior! Much love from Australia ❤
Oh so he's not like izzy at all lmfao 😂😂😂. I'm a big robert fan too btw. He's a beast and always will be
Dricus is SUPER respectful. Top of the shelf guy.
He's a great representative of us Afrikaners.
@@jordanduran2131my mom is too. She gets super shelf-y this time of year.
@@Sean-0017*29 years old
@@Sean-0017or win a decision*
He liked posts on Twitter calling Sean a hillbilly and that his style is trash. He’s actually pretty arrogant, more than I expected.
Dricus is such a class act. Perfect example of how to carry yourself as a professional athlete.
Exactly
I met Dricus a few years ago at an EFC event. Very down to earth and just a cool guy to talk to.
Is the EFC getting any better? My friend from Scotland vs boyd Allen way back when.
Dricus is an outstanding guy, respectful, classy guy, so glad things worked out
Respect for Dricus ❤️ Super humble and respectful guy 🔥 He deserves to be Champ 👑💯✅
dricus didn't even take the chance to roast the last dog molestor adesanya when he was brought up. didn't get even slightly heated. this guys head is on point. cool, calm, collected.
he actually got more stressed and rattled by the mmaguru question which was interesting lol.
I like Sean but I want DDP to get the belt to rub it in IZZY face
Sean is a very respectfull fighter, he has a large support base in South Africa. Not over Dricus but he certainly is a very likeable personna
Love how super respectful Dricus was of Usman, love this guy 🇿🇦
The comment section is full of positive vibes for DDP’s general demeanour. The world is just getting a taste of what a typical South African “boytjie” sounds & feels like, black & white this is our vibe, much respect to the community.
Composed, respectful, confident - traits of a Champion. Let’s go Dricus 🏆🏆🏆🏆+🏆🇿🇦
I have alwaya been a fan of the Last Stylebender, but as an African, half South African, having grown up where I did, I'm DuPlessis all the way. 🇿🇦🏴☠️ #strongertogether
It comes down to him beating Rob. Any fan of the sport, or the division itself, knows that the way he beat Rob earnt him a shot at the title. Even those that don't like him understand the enormity of that Victory.
Khamzat fumbling the bag helped but I think Dricuss definitely earnt it.
He completely dismantled Rob.
@@Metanoia000 yes he did. Rob looked shocked if U ask me. Which is kinda weird considering some of the big punchers he's been against.. think DDP and SS will be a great matchup. For US anyway.
This is SO awesome. How rare is it that a hard working, good person, is getting a title shot, against another hard working, good person? This is the opposite of what the UFC wanted. Just think about this for a minute: Dana only likes Khamzat, Jon Jones and Adesanya. He doesn't seem to like any other people in the entire UFC. His strange bias is not right, and I can't understand Dana's approach lately.
@@starseeddeluxe You mean you ARENT a huge powerslap fan bro? Thin Dana has lost it i agree
@starseeddeluxe don't forget Covington 😂😂
Look at this man’s personality and look at Izzy’s, respect to this man
Yeah, like two lovers....wait, nvm.
What an Amazing time to be a South African 🎉
BOER STRONG!
Dricus and Strickland is one of those fights where I don’t want either guy to lose
Lucas, true, I agree with you. for those going through the comments, I've got good news. God is good because He gives His blessings to everyone, whether they be good or bad. but everyone has at least, told a lie, or stolen something in their life. and that makes them sinners, and God will not allow sinners in heaven; in His presence, because He is holy. so, God has to punish the sinners in hell, because God is severe and just. but God is also love and He made a way for some to be saved from His wrath. here are the steps:
1. admit that you're a sinner and are lost.
2. realize that the penalty of sin is death (hell).
3. believe that Jesus (who is God) died on the cross, was buried, then rose from the grave, to pay the penalty for man's past, present, and future sins.
4. trust Christ alone as your Savior, and not on your own good deeds to get you to heaven (nor a combination of your faith and self-righteous works).
5. pray to God NOW that you're accepting Christ's free gift of salvation because if you die before making this decision, it's too late, and you'll 🔥🥵😈
6. and to be a disciple, tell people about Jesus, read the bible, go to church regularly to know God's will for your life.
u want a draw?
Same. Both are my favourites.
Same. Both are my favourites.
Two people's champs.
Man Dricus really is a class act man, he’s well spoken, super humble, and is very appreciative of us the fans
DDP gonna make us proud soon to be new ufc champ 🙏🇿🇦
This dude is really kool and amiable. Didn't disrespect anyone including Izzy despite the opportunity he has. I wish many other fighters learn from this dude.
Izzy and the UFC tried to race bait this guy
@@Atlas92936just Izzy
Rooting for DDP! A true gentleman and true Champ!
DDP is super likeable man - very respectful knowledgeable fighter! Great interview!
As a Brit, Dricus makes me proud to be South African😂🇿🇦
Kaffer
Lmfao I got the joke😂
@@giga_chad9 just imagine Francis with the boys on a boat! Good shiiee
Image not knowing that South Africa is a white country, created by Dutch and Portuguese people.
@@Maynard-il1yjHe went 6 or 7 times. He probably has a favorite spot, view, and poop sock.
Du Plessis vs Strickland is that kind of fight, I don't want to see either guy lose.
DDP is what an MMA competitor should be...
@@andrew_g6331 u wish
@@andrew_g6331 yes.
Absolutely!
Make Us proud Wena 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Our man,we re all waiting ddp what a shinning example too all our young men our warrior
How can anybody not like this boytjie 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
It's gonna be bitter sweet for me, I love Sean but I also want DDP to win that belt for South Africa.
Even us staunch strickland supporters here in America 🇺🇸 will not be to hurt if dricus wins he is a good guy
Damn right, I also just really like how well spoken he is, he’s really mature
Well i'm Namibian and I see myself fighting Du Plessis some days down the line too, I love South Africa and me wanting to fight Du Plessis is coming from a place of love. I'm pretty sure any fight fan to read this will understand so Yeah. Good luck to Du Plessis thoigh.
he dosnt need ur luck, but bless you
Win or loose dricus all the way🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦much love and respect from cape town SA🇿🇦❤️
Such a gentleman
PERFECT timing! Yesterday I searched (w/ out success) looking for the latest Dricus interview.
How dis dude so calm and respectful lol
Great chat! James is a real one, and kudos for mentioning Guru
Hard not to like this guy. Humble and tells it EXACTLY how it is.
I love sean but I think Dricus is taking that belt.
The audio/video quality is top notch. Makes the biggest difference when watching your interviews James.
I really like this man. Can’t wait to watch the fight, it’s going to be a great one. I see it being a war. Great interview james.
Dricus many of us Appreciate a professional as you are God Bless you and S.A.
Idk why, I’m a Strickland fan, not a huge DDP fan, but I feel like he got this. Wouldn’t be upset if he did, definitely deserves it.
Sean Strickland absolutely schooled Adesanya. It was beautiful to watch.
Great split screen format and interview
They really tried to race bait this guy to make him the villian and Izzy the hero. This guy is more likeable than ever
Great interview James! DDP is such a gentleman outside the ring and absolute savage inside. Love this match with Strickland. It's the Alpha Chad vs the American Cowboy. Finally middleweight is interesting again!
As a newer DDP fan I hope this classy guy beats Strickland. He (Sean) actually openly admitted he doesn't like or want to fight in Canada.
I'm getting my tickets, and ill watch the fights but I'm now routing for DDP to take control of the division. See you there champ! 🇨🇦👊
got my tickets yesterday! steep lollll
I'm not really a fan of Strickland because he's really funny, but he squanders his sense of humor and fun antics by going way too far, and saying too many rude and vulgar things. There is a point where you are having a negative impact on young males watching the sport, who look up to the fighters. You have to be mindful of how you carry yourself, and Strickland goes too far (the same as Colby goes too far). It's so easy to sell a fight, all you have to do is say something interesting. You don't have to say rude and vulgar things.
gam, it's rooting in that context. for those going through the comments, I've got good news. God is good because He gives His blessings to everyone, whether they be good or bad. but everyone has at least, told a lie, or stolen something in their life. and that makes them sinners, and God will not allow sinners in heaven; in His presence, because He is holy. so, God has to punish the sinners in hell, because God is severe and just. but God is also love and He made a way for some to be saved from His wrath. here are the steps:

6. and to be a disciple, tell people about Jesus, read the bible, go to church regularly to know God's will for your life.
@starseeddeluxe or he just keeps it real...
It's king of dirty to make the usa champion have his first title defense in canada... you have to admit..
Dricus is a gentleman and will be a great champion and ambassador for the sport.
@Dricus reminds me so much of all my Afrikaans friends I grew up with, intelligent, articulate, honourable, respectful, and NOT to be underestimated❤easy money betting on my countryman.😅
Def a real fan of this man. Have family in South Africa. Next champ 100% Talent and brains
Excellent work as always James 🎉
South Africa's first ever UFC Champion
Great interview, thank you. Team Dricus 🇿🇦🇿🇦❤❤
Crazy to think English is DDP's second language. Well spoken
Solid interview!! Love the stuff he had to say. And a but different and very confident take on his possible future matchup with Khamzat. Getting excited!
Ddp can do double legs too, but hes a highlight reel fighter[pssst, you generate alot more power standing as opposed to punching downward.punching downward only seems easy for lazy people who plop down on people, but yeah i see no difference. I dont really get the big bad russian guy.its ironic they call it russian roulette, my favorite casino game. Id never play against the dealer by myself tho, thats suicide
Lekker Dricus. Stronger Together!
Great interview James
Very entertaining fighter, rooting for him🔥
As a Whittaker fan, Dricus is such a likeable bloke.
You can tell Dricus has a lot of respect for Izzy.
Good interview Dricus is always worth listening to . Fighting Strickland in January should be great , expect it to go to the ground quickly and anything can happen with two powerful strikers.
Going to be a banger! Ddp for the win!
Love this guy! Such a humble man
Great interview, I'm a Strickland fan but I will have to back DDP to win it for SA
😢 Im with 🇺🇸 but MUCH RESPECT to 🇿🇦 ❤
Let’s go! 👊🏼🇿🇦
I’m becoming a fan of DDP 💯
"Him manifesting things": Didn't go well for him. :D
Awesome interview, Dricus was great.
hard fight to pick, Dricus is so awkward that he's a monster, Seans so technical and sound that's he's a champ. both really likeable guys too. definitely gonna be a good fight but I'm sad no matter who wins
Great questions and interview overall James 🫡
Class act! Good luck Dricus!
Im a Khamzat Fan And I think DDP fully Deserves the title Shot i give him the upper hand against Strickland DDP is really strong and well rounded hes gonna man handle strickland
I dont think much of man that wont powerpunch with me even if i let him go first, i dont really understand the khamzat stuff, hes so theatrical tho he really is. Oh, and im sure if u felt a sharp pain in the back, its him. He runs fast too but i dont really back pedal when i spar someone, id trip over all the air in the way
This fight is 50/50 for me. Honestly have no idea what’s going to happen
Its DDP coming out on top, trust...
@@martinkeller4824 I mean I’m not ruling it out but dude. Ddp was getting pieced and got taken down in round 1 by Whittaker and I rewatched ddp vs Brunson and I forgot how badly Brunson was beating up ddp in round 1 also. I’m still not totally sold on ddp, I just think Whittakers chin has always been his weakest aspect. That jab that wobbled Whittaker wasn’t even hard at all. If ddp doesn’t get Sean out in under 2 rounds he’s gonna get picked apart in the later rounds. Also Sean doesn’t get hit and his chin is good, everyone brings up the Alex ko but Alex kos everyone and probably outweighed Sean by like 20 pounds when they were in the cage in that fight
Also props to you James for referencing Dricus interview with mma guru 👏
Bring The Belt Home CHAMP 🇿🇦
Proudly South African 🇿🇦
Drikus , my man you can do it!
Driccus talks like he’s on fast forward. Its not just this interview ive heard it everywhere lol
haha I literally thought I did this mouse click thing where the video goes fast forward:D
I'm pretty sure they just talk fast over there haha
Great interview
THE REAL AFRICAN CHAMP!
Dricus is all class
I never liked Dricus but am rooting for him after this interview
i dont believe adesanya had an off night at all (i can into various indicators that he was indeed at his best)
True champion🏆
With all the jerkoffs in mma enjoy this guy - the only honest - fair - and truthful guy in the space not looking for only fans handouts - or storytelling - grifting - circle jerking - but totally focused on his craft
I feel that way about Wonderboy as well. He seems dedicated to martial arts and helping kids become martial artists. Nice guy and doesn't fake the trash talk. I also think Dan Hooker is the same way, very honest assessments of his opponents and his performances.
Stillknocks is going to shock the World again!
I’ve already bet Driscus @ +125. Great interview 😊
Solid Interview, Dricus you're going to love Toronto we got bomb food!
He's a big guy and if he wins then put him against pereira at some point would be a good match up
Dricus currently middleweight. Alex currently light heavyweight champ. Fight can't happen.
@@agi2160Have you seen Dricus? The guy’s massive, he can easily make 205.
@@patoloquend0 Yes, he's a big boy, but he currently competes as middleweight, so it's pointless to discuss a fight with Alex right now.
It is in fact not pointless, Dricus plans to take the Light heavyweight Belt too after taking this one.. He said recently. 😒🤞
Love from Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦
Super interview. Congrats. I’m liking Dricus more and more. I think he’ll beat Strickland. Easily, by KO.
GLORT TO AFRICA GOOD LUCK DRICUS
Unlike Izzy the NIGGA that's what he called himself
Respect to Dricus. And New!
Ddp is Gold
Dricus very well spoken and humble. Right mindstate. I dont see sean beating him and i see him being way too strong and tough for chinaev also. Sean will do better tho
James Lynch is a good, down to earth interviewer.
This is the right fight to make and I'm excited for it.
Thanks man
I really want Khamzat to fight a true middleweight fighter, I know Dana and the casual horde want him to go straight to the title, but I really would love to see how he handles
Hope DDP wins the title. Rooting for you!
The next champ!
You can tell DDP is relieved he doesn't have a rotund disabled interviewer saying "yea, yea... yea" throughout his entire answers this time around.
So happy he got the shot over Chimaev, way more deserving!
Great interview James, DDP has a very likeable personality.
Thanks man
