Excellent representative of South Africa as a sportsman 🇿🇦 , great guy , hope he goes down in history as 1 of the greatest
I will never root against Rob. But Dricus' mindset and personality are winning me over as a fan
Agreed - `I don't wanna see either of them lose, but I'm backing DDP as a fellow Saffa🤣 But they're both awesome guys
In situations like these I don't root for either cause I like both fighters. I just hope they have a great fight.

Dricus gonna smesh robert
He seems like he truly enjoys fighting.
i had the wrong impression of Dricus until this interview,hes a solid guy,gladiator,smart and honest.the media made him a hack,hes a good guy in my book and i dont mind rooting for him to accomplish his goal.
I don't think he's going to beat the reaper
It’s not him. His coach Morne Visser is a weirdo who lashes out on social media and even called Izzy 1 dimensional.
Goodluck w that.
@@heatseeker6104 no no, Usman called him a fake African amd Izzy called him a cracker. The media made it seem like Dricus was a racist which is FALSE!
Ariel was doing good in not instigating beef, but he really ran with this Duplessi/Israel shit.
Sad to see one of these guys lose. Both amazing, humble guys.
Yeah, I feel like I know them since they're so humble. I'm sure you feel the same way.
@@kells2305 What a foolish comment
@@Obiodum_what a foolish retort to a foolish comment
@@thatindiandude4602 My retort was justified you utter mug.
@@Obiodum_ he is also humble like myself
Glad to see people opening up to Dricus
So many fans are now realising that the media, Izzy and Helwani made this man look like something other than what he is. He is self aware, humble and has confidence in his abilities and that's all you could ask for from a fighter.
We in Africa understand why Izzy is upset so speak for the West and yourself
@@thelastmarketbender8656is Izzy Chinese?
@@nickcallcutt8253 He has claimed it before
@@nickcallcutt8253yes!
he isnt and he should stop race baiting.
Australia vs South Africa in rugby always a classic now we get to see it in the UFC, let's go Dricus
and Aus and SA playing on Saturday. A good day to be a South African. I love the sporting history of these two nations. Cricket too.
Robert is smashing this dude😂😂😂
@@coltonmurphy8749 he's stronger than robert whittaker, he'll likely get the better of grappling exchanges much. its 50 50
@@gregorydebeer4531 cant wait for that as well
The Maori's are taking over also. Southern Hemisphere 💪
The Boer jiu jitsu is going to be something he's never experienced before ..😂😂😂😂😅
🏳️🌈
Reg so!
Just *Boer jitsu, he's not a jiu.
Dricus' is the embodiment of confidence. He mean what he says. He's not faking it. Like other fighters just tryna hype themselves up or put a front. Rob is the same, but less expressive. He's more of a quiet confidence. And Adesanya got that Chinese, Transgener, Identity Crisis Woman type of confidence.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 fuckin love this comment
Well said mang
What a hater lol.. Jelous coz Us Kiwis runnin the middleweight game!! Don't cry 2 much when Izzy destroys all your heros 🤣🤣🤣🤣
well recognized, well discribed
Honestly I think Dricus is probably a grand lad.
Yeah, but he won't win.
and thats gona make him win. being a grand lad.
Lmfao
British CZcams commenters always sound like they’re old and wearing a monacle
He's 🗑
He is a cool dude. May the best man win.
South Africans are built different- this guy oozes honour, pride, integrity and pure bollocks
I agree with the last one
"...into my world, where it's a dark place." A reference to load shedding? 🤔 Go Dricus!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This match has fight of the night written all over it. Let's gooo Stillknocks! 🔥🔥🔥💪🏻🇿🇦
Volk and Yair, Pantoja and Brendan God spoiled with 3 absolute bangers any could be 50gs baby.
He is so humble. BLESSINGS...
Dricus fighting for the title seems like a "hold my beer" moment if t happens.
Everyone wants to see Driscus vs Adesanya😂
Rob doesn't 😂
@@cameronrussell9362rob gets robbed dis time
Not me
Yea you do
No one should. Izzy would Ko him within 4 minutes lmao
gaining fans on a microphone outside the cage a true prodigy
Dricus has had crazy turnarounds that's why he's in this position, he's gotten high profile fight after high profile fight and winning.
I hardly call till and brunson high profile fights
@@GigaChadDuPlessisu know exactly what he means, names people recognize... y u gotta be like this 🤦♂️
@@rman229 he tries to be snarky and cool, everyone is a comedian nowadays
@@rman229 He's not reading my comment correctly, I said high profile fight, not high profile opponent.
DDP has faced very average competition in the middleweight division...
I wouldn't say Dricus has stand out skills to me, unlike Oliveira, particularly with his Jiu Jitsu, but his approach, do or die, reminds me a lot of Oliveira.
IN FILIPINO BARABARA STYLE, HE GET KNOCKOUT THE MOST.
He has accuracy and heavy hands
Middleweight oliveira lesgo
"oliveira" du bronx or Charles
I told you he has heavy hands and accuracy
Gonna hit Rob with that Quan Chi fatal?! Let’s go 😂😂😂. Hope this dude wins I wanna see him troll the Chinese champ.
said the 12yr old.... well done.

Let’s go Dricus 🔥🔥🇿🇦
let's go to the graveyard
@@dhungryarchitect i know that he is a massive underdog but, we can only hope he pulls it off.
Not just for himself but for the whole division and for us fans also, rob is honestly just painfully boring plus he already have been there and done that.
Du Plessis has a tremendous story !!
@@ahmedcheikh4256 stories dont win fights. thats the reality. and i like rob but not entirely a fan, but dricus is the boring one. just saying.
@@ahmedcheikh4256I also want to see him and Izzy in a press conference. Just to see Izzy's hate 😂
@@dhungryarchitecthuh? I'm rooting for Rob but Dricus is boring? Lmao... he's NEVER in a boring fight. They are sloppy, messy, hilarious and violent. But they are not boring.
When he said I feels at home in going to a dark place I knew he was talking about the bloody loadsheding we having this side
Class of a guy... Love Rob but he had his shot twice against Izzy, I'm def. rooting for Dricus.
Rob is the perfect test for you Dricus..we believe in you brother! Household name in SA!
Gee he speaks well. Excellent on the mic
He does, especially seeing as though English is his 2nd language. Dudes an Afrikaner
What a great guy. Rooting for him for the sake of the division
man.. so many fights in the UFC where I don't want either guy to lose!! Seriously a lot of good dudes on the roster, obviously including Bobby and Dricus. Hope they have a fight they're both satisfied with.
Dricus lose
@@rickymarino1208 Come again?🤣
🐆Let’s gooo Dricus . Dangerous fighter !

DDP: I'll tear a limb off
Dana White: That's fucking illegal!
I hate fights like this. Two real people chasing their dreams. I love it.
Is there any time when two men in a cage fighting ain't chasing their dreams?
Wwe on all the time.
Some be just chasing the bag
Good to see fighters exuding confidence in themselves while still respecting each other. Treating it like a sport and not getting all personal . MMA’s turned into WWE. I get that it sells but it’s a breath of fresh air to see this. Good luck to both 😁
Lol..makes it more exciting when there's no respect
MMA Is turning into WWE, so during the fight Mcgregor is gonna come out and hit Whittaker with a steel chair while the referee isn't looking and Dricus is gonna get the win niiiice
joshuamclauchlan5945
Turned into wwe? You must be brand new to mma.
Pro wrestling and mma had been intertwined since its inception and long before you were born.
@@oldironsides4107 not really..I don't remember Royce Gracie giving speech before a match .Do you work in Ringling Barnum bailey's
As if helwani gave this man a bad image, I didn’t believe it for one second, he’s always been a humble warrior, Izzy was the only bad one in this, he called him a cracker, imagine if dricus called Izzy a nxxxxa
People who can beat you up call you names that's life, hahahha here in Africa we have bad names for white people but we ain't snowflakes here
But we are hella poor also, maybe it's karma
Izzy is insecure as fuck hence the over the top act he puts on. No denying he's a champ fighter but the guy is petty and people get in his head so easily.
So you think the word cracker is equal to the N-word? are you a troll or just dont know history?
Dricus is 1000x classier and more secure in himself as a person than Izzy will ever be.
@@dodo19923 well said bro
He seems a little more settled this time out.
Great interview Dricus

One of those fights where you don't want anybody to lose tbh.
Rob dog walks everyone I think will be a tough fight for him. I thought Jared, Kelvin and Marvin could all be tough fights and he always makes them look like they don't belong in the ring with him. Hard to bet against Rob
true.
well said
Marvin thought he was going to smash Whittaker. Rob made it look like a training session.

Dricus is the kind of person Adesanya can only wish to be.

@@thelastmarketbender8656 as far as I’m concerned, Du Plessis is the best, highest ranked fighter out of Africa. Every other “African” fighter has moved countries and abandoned Africa.
Dricus hits hard very hard, 1 wrong move by Robert and Dricus will win.
Robert is going to need all his skill to stay aways for those hits that is only way to win.
Yes, that what i'm thinking as well.Sure, Rob should be the massive favourite, but one wrong move...and we could have a massive upset on our hands.
Dricus clearly has the power advantage, Rob most everywhere else.
Cannonier and Gastelum hit hard too. So what?
@@alextargaryen7886 Difference is Dricus knocks you out cold.
Good luck my men representing the motherland Dricus 💪

Our champion for so many years. What a time to be South African!!!
Go Dricus! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 you go boy!

@@GoulagInamte777 coming back to comments are getting old. Move on man.

The man with the biggest heart is going to win this one and that’s Dricus ! Always speaking and presenting himself like a champ but in the ring he’s a machine ! Get that belt champ !
If it follows international rugby.. Robert is in for a world of pain!
Yea.... it doesnt tho..... rob has one thing that separates him.... high level experience. I think he uses that for the w.
@@user-nd5ud7bh3j probably! But dricus has been smashing boys to get the chance, so hopefully it'll be 3rd time lucky for Robbie
@@andrewreid749 darren till, who is sloppy and looked like he doesn't train at all gave dricus a hard time early. Robert is different from all of the low clasa fighters dricus fought.
…. Oh rugby union. No one in Australia plays that
@@justsomeguywithafewmoregut4600 "early"? I don't know what you were watching, but Till got his face pounded from behind the entire first round 😂😂😂. You guys say just about anything
He was breathing through his mouth and was still able to finish all this fights .
They should give Lawler the BMF belt at the end of his fight. Then he gives it to the winner of Gaethje vs Poirier.
Love this dude, hard not to go for Robert though.
Big fan of Whittaker but Dricus is pretty cool too
I’ve never seen this dude fight before…but I’ve seen everyone of robs fights. Gonna be a tough night for him
Dude has a superhero/supervillain type of name Dricuss Du mfkin plessis.
Dricus and his buddy cameron are kind of like batman and robin.
🌈
Awkward, gassy, unpredictable and on a tear...a true gent and ambassador to the sport.
I hope he's got his sh1t together because bobby knuckles ain't no joke...
The gas comes with the crazy BBQ sauces.
@@boldottoman lol... Boiled cabbage and brussel sprout smoothie before the weigh ins
he could use that to his advantage if he has someone in a defense position on the ground and lets one rip, might give him that opening he needs to lock in a sub.....or could use the gas as a lethal move on its own if he has a guy pinned down on the cage and has his rear next to the guys face and lets one go a lot of options for him
BRING OUR GOLD BACK HOME LETS GO DRICUS 💯
Haha it's already there ,just the owner lives in AOTEAROA
All dricus has to do is make a solid showing.. if he can really hold his own all 5 , go to a decision , even if he don't win it, his stock goes up.
Anybody with his skills , his confidence, his experience, and his determination is a dangerous man. But Robert recognizes this, he's not all cocky, he's kept it humble and despite everyone telling him he's a sure winner, he recognizes the threat this hungry, confident elite fighter is.
I think Robert is gonna run right through him.
I love both of them but I don't want to see Rob vs Izzy again 😂😂😂 I hope Dricus wins man
I think Izzy is scared of Rob, that is why he wants Dricus to win.
