I love Rob so much as a human being in general. Such a great guy and awesome warrior.
Rob via tko
@@beaualoevv😂😂😂😂😂
@@beaualoevvI mean you be taking pics in the restroom just like any girl.
Zip up his pants when you're done
Stiffy alert…. Gayyyyyyy
This fight is an absolute gift from the MMA gods, may the best man win
Any fight involving the reaper is a gift from the mma gods
You're a fool.
this whole card is an absolute gift lol
cant fckin wait for this one
@@vetchemh3 The Reaper hasn't finished a fight in over six years but you people glaze him like your lives depends on it.
@@Obiodum_ Invalid argument buddy he wins and fights with everything asking for more is selfish.
If Rob's heart is in the game nobody is stopping him
@@zazaza1000 he won against izzy in the second fight in my opinion
lol i love rob but thats silly. his heart was in it when he fought izzy both times. even the first time when he was shook by izzys comments. rob is always in it.
@@zazaza1000 the results of a fight are so final that its really hard to romanticize the shit right ?lol
@@lilsus3125 He won in “your opinion”, not everyone else’s.
@@suspendedtwice4sayingrasis261thats why he said *in my opinion.
2 gentleman of the sport.
The respect shown, is commendable. Just goes to show, you can be confident and respectful at the same time. Both believe they can win, both are confident but also completely grounded in their approach to the fight.
Unlike that clown Israel!!
Banger in the making.
Dricus doesn't have a boring fight🙌🏾
Love how Rob takes on all contenders
Du Plessis is good, but Whitaker is another level, he is a real beast..... let's go with Whitaker 💪🏼🥊
Du get tired to fast
@@latrelljones5453he wont on this one. Whittaker will be 😴

Anyone who share the octagon with Romero twice and win is a warrior. Rob is the man.
and now ?
This fight is gonna be wicked!! 🤯
Whitaker by domination.
Never bro
My brother is a training partner for DDP, been one for 6 months now I believe. I can wholeheartedly say there does not exist a universe in which Robert Whittaker beats DDP. He will submit him on the ground, land ko blows on the feet. On July The 8th, the headline reads "DDP shocks the world by putting The Reaper to sleep". I promise you.
Every time someone said x fighter by domination or whatever he wants, they lost lol
@@hurnenlonny7571jajjajajajajajjajajajaj😂 👍🏼👍🏼
@@HonestComment.WUAAAAAAAJAJAJAJAJAJJA
This is the fight that will determine how good Du Plessis really is 💯👊
I have nothing against Du Plessis. But I honestly think his last two fights against Brunson and Till were more of them losing than Dricus winning.
Go DDP, South Africa is behind you!
Hope we get to see Dricus vs Israel
@@shushanthswinderballs1122 like all his fights?? you dreaming fool
@@shushanthswinderballs1122 Thats because of his nose which has been fixed... Max cardio Dricus > half cardio Dricus
People don't realise this fight will be epic as long as it lasts and steal the show!
No it won’t. Rob first round win
Du puss gonna get tired 5 mins in like always but aight🤣🤣
Dricus doesn't have boring fights
@@TransitionedToASharkrob hasn't finished anyone in 6 years...............
@@fvgc454ss fighting monsters who never get finished yeah. Who finishes Romero? Kelvin? Marvin? Jared? Lol
South African King about to Shock the World big time
Nelson Mandela died ages ago...
This is just gonna keep on getting better. 🔜
Both are my favorite
People forget that this Du Plessis is much more dangerous as he got his nose fixed which means his cardo (which was one of the biggest things holding him back) is much better
This fight will show us his true cardio.
Even if his cardio is fixed, Bobby Knuckles is a more technical fighter and better in every aspect.
@@AnonyMous-yi6nt Besides finishing. Which is what will make it interesting.
One punch to the nose and that is gone, dickass is erratic and not very technical... rob is much better everywhere except striking power wise.
It’s not gonna matter lmao 😂
First of all, let’s just appreciate how beautiful South Africa is. Second, Dricus seems like he actually has his mentality and team locked in. Third, I didn’t really like how Rob is looking past him a little by mentioning the trilogy with Izzy but it’s rob and he’s always an excellent bet
Dricus is also looking past Rob by saying he knows this is a contender fight , they are in the same boat they both want to fight for the title , Rob is focussed on this fight that I can guarantee you
@@Damblan Guess he lost his focus in the second round.
Always with Rob, he deserve be champ 💪🏼
Let’s Go Dricus! I believe in you. This will be a great fight and I believe that some will be impressed by Dricus.
Nah
Let's Go Du Plessis!
@@ryanm7097 nah
ABSOLUTELY. LETS GO DRICUS!!!
@@RikiLouw69 nah
As in the MotoGP the South African/Australian combo makes it watchable and exciting in the southern hemisphere.
Two of the nicest warriors clash. A dricus win would be amazing. Let’s go
Whittaker gonna show that there are levels to this
How original
Dricus showed there is another level above that level
This could be it’s own main event
Facts, ufc has so many great fighters/fights it’s insane. This card and UFC 291 are stacked
Dear UFC... You did one hell of a job promoting this fight. 👊🏾 Them Terminator/Gladiator beats be on point in these fight promos 👍🏾
No matter the outcome Dricus put South Africa on the map 🇿🇦
Let's go Du Plessis, let's go my beloved South Africa💗
We are with our boy all the way!
@@J.MGreenhut 💯
@@J.MGreenhut The bootleg African's story ends here.
@@Obiodum_ Congratulations, you played yourself
@@bandeano3870 I didn't play myself genius. My statement was true. His story ends against Whittaker because he will lose against Adesanya.
Let’s go Dricus 🔥
Two true warriors in the fight of the year and it's going to be brutal, love both for their respect for the sport and each other but I have to go with Dricus on this one. The pressure he brings is unmatchable in the middle weight and his African spirit wil give him the edge.
You're delusional mate
Actually so hyped for this fight
WE HAVE ANOTHER BANGER/CLASSIC ON OUR HANDS..............
I'm interested in this fight 💯
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Dricus: A F R I C A
imagine dricus wins and yells wakanda forever
Whittaker by absolute, total, unbelievable, ruthless, utter domination.
Like he did Till? 😅
Lmfao, what happened son?
Please don't run away. Come back with the same energy.
Congratulations, you played yourself
I can't help but want to see what would happen if Dricus wins. he would be legit first fully African Champion. Amazing.
Three men already did that but keep talking nonsense.
@@Obiodum_DDP would be the first to do it living and training entirely on Africa.
@@stephenhughes5156sure but that's not a significant achievement. That's like being the first horse to play tennis.
@@bendover7841 It kind of is though considering the lack of infrastructure and MMA culture compared to somewhere like America. It was impressive enough for Leon to become champ living and training in England.
Good luck to both guys !!! This gonna be a awesome fight🤩
Underrated fight lets go.
Nah man, this fight could be the main event on most any other card
Man this card is crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dricus is the real black panther
Repear❤❤❤
South Africa should be proud Driscus is representing his country very well in every way❤❤❤
Let's go Reaper!!
Whittaker by beatdown
Love ddp and Rob
Whittaker has this, easy money.
I never bet and don't want to start but I'm gonna see if I can get one of those sign up offers put it all on Whittaker then call it a career
@@kenmken them sign up offers usually how they get people man, better of not gambling your money mate 🤙
Whittaker in no man's land
Dricus is a beast.
I think rob is gonna dominate rounds 1 and 2 and then dricus then somehow finish in typical dricus fashion in round 3
Waiting for the ufc 290
Would love to see Du Plessis win, so he can be fed to Izzy later. But I think the Reaper gets a finish here, simply by technique and better cardio. Hoping for a competitive war.
🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
Be careful what you wish for!!
Not saying he beats Rob but I would bet he does better than Jared and Marvin.
dricus with this fight style that he throw the punches walking forward will drive into counter blows from bob knuckles
Thats the plan..
Come on Stillnox, your country is behind you!
This should be a good one 😈
This here is my personal main event.
Whittaker is gonna stuff every takedown and be way too fast for him on the feet. Driccus is going to just try to hold him on the cage
yeah this is going to be ugly for him, he’s a really sloppy striker and i see holes in his game
Also Wittaker 48/47 against Till and got dropped.
Looool, what's so funny is that he didn't stuff the takedowns and that's essentially what caused him to lose.
@@Obiodum_ The fight game is crazy, but im gonna say him getting tkod was what caused him to lose
@@dionHD The takedown in which Du Plessis executed some ground and pound and opened Whittaker up is what tired him out. He was exhausted when that second round started which led to the TKO.
He fought stupidly. If he had kept the fight standing and continued striking, he likely would've won a decision as he always does.
Rip whittaker
Say what you will about du Plessis but dude is in there to win and fights no matter how gassed and beaten he is
Bring it home for SA Dricus!
The Reaper by whatever he wants
I like Dricus, the king of Africa, but Robert is the king of the middleweights. He won that last fight against Israel.
My brother is a training partner for DDP, been one for 6 months now I believe. I can wholeheartedly say there does not exist a universe in which Robert Whittaker beats DDP. He will submit him on the ground, land ko blows on the feet. On July The 8th, the headline reads "DDP shocks the world by putting The Reaper to sleep". I promise you.
@@hurnenlonny7571 Send your brother when Robert beats Dricus.
DDP gonna get lit up like Chicago on the 4th.
I think Rob. But I can’t pass up Dricus at +310.
let's go KING DRICUS
🇿🇦 let's go Dricus and Cameron
Battle of the year betting heavy on underdog! All in
Proudly South African😅😅😅
I like both of these guys, don't want either to lose. My gut says Rob will win though.
Whitiker FOR the k.O
Great event for the Aussies 💪
Those of you who right Dricus off simply have no idea about the boer, the Afrikaner. You will find out how tough they are shortly. Even if he doesn’t get the W he will not go away easy.
The reaper is going to take this man to dark places
Dricus all the way🇿🇦
Dricus is gonna be shocked when he fights Robert 😂
Yeah, shocked that Robert is lying on the canvas pissing his pants..
@@johnnybravo1912 based on what
@@carphucker2973 reality..
Also wittaker 48/47 against Till n got dropped...
I love Izzy I really do, but I can’t lie, Rob is just different man.
Humble.
Elite mixed martial artist. Funny.
He’s the whole package and he fights ANYONE
Agree!

@@hurnenlonny7571 don’t promise in mma. Anything can happen in MMA. I’m very confident Whitaker is going to win just because he is so cerebral and good everywhere but anything can happen. We just saw that Brazilian Brenner get a massive upset over the weekend.
@@hurnenlonny7571 Your opinion is valid. I’m not a pro MMA fighter and he has a chance. But I can analyse. And the reason why this doesn’t happen is because of how DDP looked in his last fight against Darren Till. Not prime Till but still Till. He looked tired, lazy, open to shots. DDP doesn’t have the resume or experience or wrestling to beat Reaper. He’s just too good
Izzy fights anyone and is elite as well so what was your point other than to hate on Izzy???
You represent yourself only.
I will take you both on ! I got my own belt ,MMA mixed mental arts
I love Whitaker but DDP has HEART and SOMETHING TO PROVE and that is a dangerous combination😮
I agree, I Ike both fighters. Hope it’s as good of a fight as we all think it will be
Whittaker has something to prove too, this will most likely be his LAST chance to get a win over Izzy (if he beats dickass) Rob is better everywhere, but dickass has that power, should be interesting.
I dont think this is gonna be as easy for Rob as many of you think. I dont think Dricus can win but its gonna be a battle. Im thinking it will go the distance with Rob taking decision but both of them will be pretty beat up.
fireworks gna be mental
It’s REAPERNATION let’s go ROB!!!!! Just win baby! Two fights away from AndNew!!!
Most times I’d root for Whitaker but I really like Du Plessis and want him to take this one.
No chance kid

@@hurnenlonny7571has he improved his cardio in that time?
Whittaker on the canvas again in spectacular fashion
Someone's a little punch drunk, and it's not the reaper 😂😂😂
@@vetchemh3he reaper hasn't had a finish in 6 years. So let's quit calling him that. He went 48/47 against Till and was dropped. DDP has a solid shot
@fvgc454ss the reaper has the same amount of finishes in the division as your boy izzy. How did it feel so see izzy lose to Jan, then get 3 boring decision wins only to lose to Alex right after. Get off his nuts bro 🤣
@@vetchemh3 izzy didn't go 48/47 n get dropped by Till.....
@vetchemh3 and no he doesn't izzy has had 7 ko/tko since 2016. Rob 1. Lol
I don't like Bobby Knuckles... I love him! But, that being said... I am with DDP for this one. Two of my favourite fighters in this division and I'm expecting an all-out war!! Can't wait, LFG!!!
DDP vs Cannonier 🔥
Wthatterker vamos❤❤❤
Robert the next champ
May the best South African
Let's go Driekus
👍👍👍
Tasit my brother 1mistake cost can cost ur life. The south acrica boi can fight... respecttttttt.... khabibbbbbbbbbbbbbbb its the most warrior
Come on Bobby
Rob vs Izzy III coming up, but only after they both lose to Dricus!
That would be wild
LOOOOOOL
Rob will win because of experience but more importantly he's got championship rounds cardio level 👍
I'm the biggest Izzy fan, but i love Dricus' attitude and his reasons for fighting. I also love Whittaker, a very standup great guy.
The biggest scam in UFC is that you have to hate your favorite fighter's opponents. That's dumb asf.
There's a common denominator with the fans that "hate" certain fighters.
@@Obiodum_ is it autism?
What's his reasons for fighting?
