As for technical ability, he is very well rounded (matches strickland in strickland, took rob down, and has a really clean ground game). That being said he does sometimes make some questionable decisions (like that lateral drop).

Am a desk worker now but wrestling is the hardest thing i did and it just saps the life out of you. Dricus has a crazy heart to impose his wrestling will on izzy and smoke him.

    I think people really underestimate the effect the media coverage had on Izzy before he fought Sean, izzy was on the verge of breaking down in tears that whole fight week.
    Izzy KOd Alex, DDP isn’t close to the level of Alex. Jan and Alex are both legit giants, and Izzy was still competitive with them.
    Izzy is too fast, his limbs are crazy long which helps takedown defence.

    Hearing a person's comments when they are biased, is no good. They talk about a fighter as if that fighter is still in their prime. I personally try to weigh everything up. Israel has lost what 3 of his last 4 or 5 fights. That suggests to me that he is past his best...which does not mean he cannot beat Drickus. The problem always comes when a person's heart is not in it anymore. It does not matter how much or how hard you train, if you dont want to fight, its over. You can talk a big game, but do you really believe what you are saying ? We will see who really wants to win this fight !

  • @Quurpledash

    seems to be a close fight, the thing is, ddp is an upgraded version of whittaker, he has a style similair to whittaker with the random blitz, he will be hard to catch, he also has a granite chin unlike whittaker who dances everytime hes hit. i doubt izzy can win by ko or tko. i say dricus takes a decision. adesanya has terrible jabs, he swings wide hooks and leans back. him getting hit with someone who can throw straight jabs and punches ( strickland ) gives him terrible fights, adesanya gets outwrestled by basically everyone whos ever thrown a takedown against him. ddp by decision.
