  • @MakoTheFrog
    @MakoTheFrog 10 місяців тому +726

    i sympathize with Dricus on the nose breathing thing, i had the exact same situation, couldn't breath at all through one side and the other was like a pin hole, totally impossible to just close your mouth and breath, it ruins your sleep and recovery too, waking up choking for air multiple times in the night because you subconsciously close your mouth when you sleep. After i got mine fixed it was like i just installed a new set of gears in my cardio, could run for miles without getting tired, endurance went through the roof. He will be a totally different beast when he gets that fixed.

      His technique isn’t ugly AT ALL.

    Crazy how Darren and Derek could have won their fights since Dricus was very careless with his blitzing and left him wide open for counter shots. His cardio is so far obviously the biggest issue and alot of opps could have used it against him, especially Derek fumbled the bag like crazy. Let's just say that I'm not counting this guy out like at all... but he's fighting Bobby Knuckles and we all know that Bobby went 10 rounds with Yoel (even tho he prolly lost the second fight) and had some absolute bangers.

    @aluz4753 10 місяців тому +207

    I believe he has a better chance against Whittaker than almost everyone is giving him credit for. For one, he has insanely good cardio for the pace he fights at, and it can only improve now that he's fixed his nose. Secondly, he's got an incredible chin and toughness. Thirdly, and maybe most importantly, is his fighting spirit. In the UFC it's rare to find guys that fight balls to the wall like he does with most of their focus on offense. The other two guys who fight like that off the top of my head are Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill, and both of them are UFC champions, despite their lack of defense at times.
    I don't know what it is, but fighters with that kind of borderline insane offensive mindset always seem to make it further than traditional logic would predict.

But what makes DDP so special special is he has a massive heart and his determination is almost unmatched. That's why he can go into deeper waters and drag his opponent down with him, a place he knows very well. Notice how his opponents also start looking sloppy and tired as the fight progresses. That's because both fighters are exhausted.

    I had the same problem and needed to get my nose repaired after 5 years of muay thai and 2 years of bjj. It sucks. On one hand, it will make your nose more prone to breaking. But, if you don't get it done, you can't breath well during your matches. One thing I did that helped, was start training with a mouth full of water. Go hit a heavy bag for 4-5 rounds with water in your mouth. That, and always train with a mouthgaurd in. Your body will adjust to the lack of oxygen by making more red blood cells.
    The other problem you have with your nose constantly blocked, is getting hit with your mouth wide open. So, now I need TMJ surgery as well. I'm 38. It may be time to start my coaching career...

    Breathing through ones mouth isnt an immediate sign of fatigue. Sergiy Derevyanchenko in boxing is a very heavy breather. During his fight with Daniel Jacobs, the commentators wouldnt shut up about how tired he was. Round after round they would bring up his heavy breathing... meanwhile Sergiy was outworking Jacobs. In fact, not only did he outwork Jacobs, he threw more punches in the second half of the fight than the first. And the last 3 rounds were his highest output of the night.
    Looks can be deceiving. DDP isnt always fatigued, even tho it might look like it.
