Dricus low key has some of the best mic skills in the business, dude is sharp.
Hes just well raised.
Low-key? Is that like deadass literally Fr no cap low-key Bruh 💀? 😅
@@Slimothy-James.honestly what the fuck does low key mean ? Does that mean he doesnt have good mic skills or he does? Or are they average. Im lowkey confused
@@jackedwards6401low key is akin to underrated
@@Slimothy-James.you still live with your mother and you’re an adult lol
If Dricus wins, Adesanya's definitely going to be screaming that he manifested this
just like he manifested this comment thread
@@brutaldabsJust like he manifested getting his ass kicked by Pereira 3 times
@@MojKanal-cz1izIzzy haters really are everywhere 🤣dude lives rent free in y'all heads
😂😂😂
Who ever wins izzy gonn say he manifested it
Dricus has grown on me. He’s so composed and yet still knows how to talk some smack when he needs to. He’s got some champ material I’m not going to lie
Ya for real came to say this exactly
well said
Yeah he definitely has the mouth piece and poise for it, class act.
Yeah he's a rare example of a dude that's genuinely a class act but can also be entertaining and talk his shit when needed
Crazy to think, Guru is 6 foot 4, and towers over DDP. What a duo.
Dricus's mindset is different. I respect the hell out of this guy
different from who’s? a lot of ufc fighters have similar mind sets he’s said the same stuff countless other fighters have said he’s just more charismatic than most and obviously enjoys the spotlight.
@@michaelbeard4883👍
@@michaelbeard4883different from yours who are being negative towards a complementary comment
You got this mate, be more positive
@@michaelbeard4883😂 you upload Minecraft bro wtf u even doin here 🧚🏽
It’s easy to look like a saint next to sean after talking about his dead father
This guy is always so composed, it's unbelieavable. His comments on Sean's team are very classy.
Yup all talk Composed. Outside the ring. Sean’s the definition of composure inside the octagon.
DDpelausiss is a sacrificial lamb
@@michaelleonard1491 DDpelausiss? The fuck does that say?
How is staffers were raised mate 💪🏽
@@michaelleonard1491No man just put down the drugs!😂
In my limited experience, most dudes from South Africa are cool as hell and very classy. Not surprised here
Dricus is so good on the mic. Like he is so underrated, he talks nice, always calm, has good solid lines. But it’s like his character, he doesn’t fake it. He is my favourite fighter to listen to. And his fighting style is also amazing
Wow you must be a boring hang
Ok ur in love w him
@@Ziyech1facts.
well thats the thing, hes not playing a character, hes a fighter not an actor lol. the whole "im going to act like a douchebag to attracts views" is cringey. just fight and get paid boys. thats what ya job is
Dricus is the ultimate gigachad.
Dricus is such a standup guy. Hard not to like him. The way he explained why he made his comment to Sean makes perfect sense
Lmao yes it is❤ not African at all. But love this comment!
@@josephcyr4900He is African.
Do you use both hands or no hands while du goes off?
Yeah can't believe all these Strickland twisted it so much from what Dricus was actually doing and saying
Sensitive Sean Strickland. Crying like a baby. wah wah your words hurt me. 🤡clown
As a South African and fan of Dricus for many years it is amazing to see him on the biggest stage fighting for the title and taking every situation in his stride💪🇿🇦 Go Dricus
As a South African, what are the chances that Dricus didn't have a rough childhood? Meant like the area, from my understanding it's pretty rough even if your family is rich. Or am I full of shit.
@@teh12manhe said he house was robbed multiple times
@@teh12man sure it's rough, did you see how many blacks out there?
🇿🇦❤❤❤
@@teh12manAny idea how man black people are in Africa? Of course he grew up rough!
Just the way this man carrys himself and talks in this interview is so professional and charismatic

Yeah...making fun of kids getting beat up...reap classy...what the fuck is wrong with you?
Speaking in his 3 Rd language 😅
Respect to Dricus for agreeing not to bring up Strickland's childhood anymore... pure class
thanks dude so much u made my day. I am going to do a fight prediction on this fight today. you are the man thanks for the message brother!!@@NorthVikingKing
Too bad Sean is classless.
@@user-hg6mo1wl2q too bad I saw your comment whinning about it
He didn’t want to die
@@user-hg6mo1wl2qclassless? He apologized and then warned ddp. Case closed
My heart says Dricus, but my mind says Dricus
Hehe
Fighters that became champ get a 20-30% increase in there sean is in the best shape of his life hope this dude is the same
Aw you got a crush on ddp just like his coach
@@theyehsohz
You love him. Just lick the tip, you don’t need to gob the whole thing.
Dickus is going to get destroyed
The more I hear from Dricus the more I like him.
Sensitive Sean Strickland. Crying like a baby. wah wah your words hurt me. 🤡clown
Like him like you want to kiss him
@@ryne1226 like him like him giving credit to Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. I am pulling for Sean but I think Dricus is a solid dude
Seems a very humble level headed man and should be a cracking fight, its a main event where I actually don't mind who wins as I like both of them
Same here man. Love both the men.
True words
Same brother, it has been a while since I don't have a preference on who wins.
It's so refreshing to see a guy in the fight game who's really secure with himself and doesn't have to act out like a child as a defense mechanism, just lets his actions speak for itself
It’s actually impressive, he definitely is expressing a true ideal whether it’s poise or the ability to express himself.. articulate, composed…
It’s refreshing anywhere. This guys a breath of fresh air
Sensitive Sean Strickland. Crying like a baby. wah wah your words hurt me. 🤡clown
GSP vibes @@zacharycarter7766
Facts!!!
Really starting to like this guy! Seems a true gentleman which the sport requires
I’m definitely warming to him too
Definitely a Gentlemen
U mean the sport “needs”
Volk does a pretty good job of checking the gentleman’s box. How many gentlemen fighter does the UFC need to fill the character balance towards UFC’s marketing, fan appeal, and social expectations? All they need are fighters that fight well and a few crazy iconic brawls from time to time and they’ll continue to sell tickets and pay per views, not necessarily the persona fighters put off when the cameras are on them. Narcissists get people to believe they are such a good and trusting person in the beginning, so to hear people talk, doesn’t really draw me to the sport and promotions of UFC, good fights do. Following the fighters over time, give you a better perspective to the person on and off the camera, not a press conference where many fighters are trying to gain or provoke an emotional response from their opponents a week before the fight.
Ya I've become a big fan of him over the last year
dricus is awesome he is respectable but able to talk shit at the same time
Smart dude
He's not respectful bringing up people's trauma
@@bladewright5356did you not watch the video? He explains why he said it and it makes perfect sense. Bet youre the same person supporting sean while he insults dead people
Dricus taking out the trash this weekend, then that fake champ o'malley is the next trash to go. Then just maybe we might have a respectable middleweight & bantamweight champions because the current ones are fake place holders, especially o'malley.
Decent fighter. Seems like a decent human. Boring on the mic.
Dricus is a class act, he gave me GSP vibe
Lmao, what a stretch
His frame is also like Gsp’s
😂😂😂😂 No way
@@tryhardninja1089so is your mom’s frame lol
“being a real man means being an example” something a lot of guys are missing
This guy has become one of my favorites simply by the respect and champion grit he shows on the mic.
We need champions like this. Fresh air
vSensitive Sean Strickland. Crying like a baby. wah wah your words hurt me. 🤡clown
True Champion here... Let's go Dricus!!! Zimbabwe is backing you!
❤
No they aren’t Strickland is the favorite by far🎉
Rhodesia?
Of course you would be. You Zims twerk for SA like no man's business.
@@nordics834Coloniser?
What. An. Interview.
There's never been a bigger contrast in mentality than these two.
Stem 100% saam, Jandre.
Gonna make me cry with that speech about South Africa backing you. Go DDP! 🇿🇦
Glaze overd0se lol🍆🚴
nahhhhhh this aint happening strickland spars every day and gets hit the least, i dont think u guys are giving strickland enough credit, he keeps getting bettter too.
From the back
@@rrai-Backing him from the back? You tried lil bro. You tried.
MY NEW Fav FIGHTER. First time listening to him and im impressed. Clean, smart, level headed. He is 12 steps ahead of sean
FACTS
So well spoken, I love it, looking forward to this this title fight🙌
Rooting for Strickland, but Du Plessis is spot on in his assessment of the trash talk, and his position of staying professional and not being bullied is pretty clear. Dude carries himself with mature confidence.
Nobody cared when Conor wasn’t being professional, why does it matter now?
@@ImaBobbyMudda people opinions change and evolve plus conor early trash talking before habib was sort of funny. Then started to get malicious and lost interest
Ddp literally made a joke about seans dad molesting him. How is that professional??
@@ImaBobbyMudda im definitely not speaking on everyone's behalf but when Conor started crossing a line and stopped being professional he lost my respect and interest.
@groovehog1 im there with ya, rooting for for Sean, but D deserves it too. Gonna be a banger!!
Ya he’s very well spoken, smart and articulate and respectful…A good example for kids and up n coming fighters.
A truly professional athlete......absolutely inspiring. All the best for you on Saturday Dricus, believe you can and will do it. A tue champion not only for yourself but also for your people and country......want hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie!!!
hes never won a belt so he isnt a champion
Wat is dat voor een gebroken Nederlands?
@@intergalacticmuffin7071 He's won like 3 or 4, so actually he is
So professional he’s instigating cord fight and mocking childhood traumas so many face. You believe shape shifting chameleons because of something they say and don’t backup? You seem intelligent lmao
Oh shut your twaht, already jumping on the bandwagon “truly inspiring” 😂. The guy hasn’t done anything extraordinary, hasn’t even won a belt. Get off your knees, mate
This dude said a few years ago he was going to be a house hold name and champion and he’s about to be my South African brother.
THe EaGLe HaS lAndEd durrrrrr 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
Don’t hold your breath for your brother
He’s not African. His family are French colonizers
Dricus is a champion with or without a belt. I love seeing mma athletes of this caliber representing themselves and the sport so well. Can't wait for the main event on Saturday! Good luck to both fighters!
Dricus is a class act; humble, well spoken, and intelligent. I can’t wait for this fight!
This guy's demeanor is very enviable
Go hard DDP. Bring that belt back to the Southern Hemisphere bro!!
Press conference gonna be mad af.
Very classy fellow DDP. I hope he lifts the championship.
Out by 3
Mma guru was tall and in shape 😂😂 his head gonna explode hearing this lol
10:07 "Thats why there's an age restriction". Dricus is spot on.
Such a highly intelligent interview
No BS honest and what an answer to the question of what would becoming a world champion mean to you was ,,, goosebumps
Adesanya is gonna be acting like he's in a movie again during the main event
Rent free.
Literally Rent, Food and Utilities free
@@gtaone1838real 😂😂
@@Obiodum_ As free as the dog in all of you.
This guy is pure class.
Being to SA (cape town) a lot of people I met and came across have the same demeanor as Dricuss - very respectful
This fight gonna be 🔥
Im thinking its going to be a 5 round humpfest.
It really is
Let's go Dricus! Proudly South African 🇿🇦. Focused, composed and ready to strike!
European South African*
@@GreoGreoblow me racist
dricus what I love about your jerneny is as Africa's we all standa by you 100% 🇿🇦 you have shown as much as the world shows they are not united due to race or what ever is going on in first world country's.. we are united standing by you just as the boka.
ngiyabonga mfowethu uyakhuthaza
this is what they call mentally stable and strong
I can listen to this man speak all day, what a gentleman🕴️
"The best warrior wins not the one with the best needle" that's a good line
Let's go brother, this is how we represent South Africa with respect but we are no push overs. Every thing of the best for the fight 🇿🇦
In the words of a South African “Dulla him” Dricus 🇿🇦
I'm all in on Dricus, he has the attitude of a world champion and I hope for him and the country of South Africa that he bags the win, either way it's going to be a decent fight!
Dricus comes across as a class act , fair play ,hope he gets the W
What a role model this guy is, he is what an elite fighter should behave
making light of childhood abuse such a role model
@@michaelbeard4883
Always standup against a bully
You can’t have a moral compass to think this is a role model .You believe anything someone says in public
I’m a Nigerian, and a devoted Izzy fan, but truth be told, DDP is a real Gee, speaks the right things, coins his words well, mentally and physically strong, you can’t help but love the guy, and I hope he does this for himself, his family, South Africa and the whole of Africa at large now that the AFCON is even ongoing 🎉
First champ to bring the belt to Africa 🇿🇦
A purebred African, with true African DNA, training and living in Africa, incredible to see.
Loooooooooooooool
He ain't wrong though😂
Truly the best south africa has to offer
@@mrrhsmit But he is genius. He's not a "purebred African with true African DNA."
@@Obiodum_ why? It's because he's white right? Stfu
Dricus could be the most articulate and charismatic fighter in UFC history. He has analyst written all over him.
A polished Bisping with a South African accent
@@zacharycarter7766 Bisping came off as brash, whereas Dricus is good-natured.
next GSP possibly
I never thought there was a nicer bloke than Rob Whittaker in the MMA but Drikus is awesome
lol what the gy that just said he will beat the sht out of someone , yeah wonderboy exists anyway
🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 Lets go Dricus bring the Title home Boooy! Love from South Africa!🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
Visser is an amazing coach with a specimen student ready to claim the gold for 🇿🇦
I heard he's a good kisser too
@@lokivatosafrican men are not insecure little mass shooter brats scared of their own shadows who take out their repressed feelings by walking into Walmart with an AK 😂
What the old saying.
Oh yeah Africa is f***d
@@lokivato Yeah you made out with him
Did your mama tell you he is a good kisser
I love how Dracius represents himself. Very well spoken, calm collective and always giving respect to his opponents.
You should give him respect by writing his name correctly
@@gaidziomesa🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Obviously a smart man, his head is exactly where it should be, focused on the goal. Looking forward to this fight, hopefully strickland can keep his emotions in check so we can have a great fight.
Dricus is as cold as ice 🧊, the man is an assassin
19:02 MMA Guru, you can’t ignore him forever mate
Who can’t ignore him?
All the homosexual journalists!
Trust James lynch the dweeb to be the one to bring it up to try get some clout 😂😂

guru is the messiah....the crippled goat
Proudly South African. We all have respect
Absolute class act. Love from Canada!
Go Dricus! You are a top class athlete and a true example of what it means to be an ambassador to your sport ,your country and your supporters.Thank you for sticking to proper morals and values and not being ashamed of them.May God bless you with the realisation of your dreams.Vat hom vas kwagga!!!..Ons hier by die huis staan solied agter jou.
DDP has that champion swagger about him. He's a professional through and through.
Reminding a child abuse victim of their trauma isn't professional. Blowing your coach isn't professional. Sean is gonna piece this dude up over five rounds to an easy decision win.
@@CypherDND Sean Strickland, the true professional 🤣. Can't wait for the fight
@@CypherDNDSean is going to fuck him up.
@@CypherDND U are such a 🤡 As for Dricus “reminding” Sean of his childhood abuse, NO he didn’t, he said the beating I’m going to give u in the Octagon is nothing compared to what yr Dad gave u, now that’s not reminding a person, that’s simply making a statement, Dricus was not joking about it, Dricus is going to F … Sean Up,
Dricus made that statement to Sean when Sean made derogatory remarks just like U have now, blowing yr Coach isn’t professional, what’s wrong with U 🤡
But let’s discuss Sean, so it’s okay for Sean to cross the line, which he does All the time, speaking of mma fighters who died, 2 of them, making fun of Khalil Rowntree when he spoke of his mental health issues, of fighters wives & kid’s, the list goes on & on, so that’s okay for Sean, but Dricus fires back & Sean wants to play Victim & his Fanbase even more, lastly as for Sean piecing Dricus apart over 5rnds 🤦♂️🤣 that is definitely not happening, this fight is not going past the 3rd, either Sean gets KO’d within 2rnds or TKO/GNP in the 3rd,
Listen to this Interview, Dricus is a very Pvt person, this is the first time he is even bringing up that Sean sent an apology to him, as he says he would not have spoken openly about it, But Sean has now, Sean sent an apology to Dricus apologising for saying thing’s, Wake Up u 🤡
DDP. WTF IS THAT GUY
can't hate on him man seems like such a chill dude, gonna be a good fight
Don't think we seen this caliber of class and clarity since dare i say GSP
Before his last fight everyone hated, after winning everyone loves. The beauty of victory🇿🇦❤
Top professional. No playing a character, straight humble
Wow I'm extremely impressed with this guy. I've never heard him speak before I am now a huge fan
This dude is so well spoken. Really impressive. Best wishes for a great showing from both men.
Sending you good luck and support all the way from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦😎 we are with you my champ!
Huge respect to Dricus for standing by himself. Massively overlooked as a fighter. A man whos hard to doubt. Defo backing him 🇿🇦
Sensitive Sean Strickland. Crying like a baby. wah wah your words hurt me. 🤡clown
The Real King of Africa has spoken! And he’ll be crowned in the land of always winter 🇨🇦 🌞 ❄️ 👑 👊
Leon Edwards the king of Europe
Very well spoken and relatable. Nice work bro 😎
DDP's mindset is elite 💯
Lmao "Sean said he's gonna stab you if you bring that up" omg Strickland is too f'n funny... This interview made me like Dricus he seems like a good pretty funny guy too... Always fun when you like both fighters and can just enjoy a good fight. Looking forward to this one.
How can you not like this man. Thats some real Champ materialet. 🔥 And The New ! 🥇
You wont only be lifting the belt you'll be lifting your proud country , God Bless Dricus !!!
Go Dricus! The True African Champ! 🇺🇬
"Are you impressed with Sean physique " lol wtf .
They are asking the hard hitting questions
I was thinking the same thing
Lets go DDP the whole of south africa stands behind you!
I'm so torn on who to root for this fight. I respect both Sean and Dricus so much. May the best man win!!! 💪
Can't wait for this one.
Lets go dricus,much love from england 👊
this here is a true martial artist and a rolemodel how a champion should behave. go get that strap you deserve it!
What a role model! Strong yet classy! We haven't had someone like this since GSP! Usman is right there, too, but unfortunately, he's lost the last three.
The more you hear DDP, the more you realise he has that champ aura more than Sean and Izzy. Definitely those two can beat DDP in a fight but DDP and rob represents the respect and prestige of the sport in much better way
Dricus is the Champion the UFC and MMA needs 🔥
Hell no that would be the worst ufc champion ever the middleweight division would lose a bunch of vie
@@GabrielHernandez-bs5io he has the highest significant strike rate in middleweight history, and finishes 9/10 fights. Please explain...
Nobody needs this 🤡 who ran from Izzy
@@GabrielHernandez-bs5ioWould it be good for Strickland to keep the belt? Guy who fights uglier than Belal
Tom Aspinall and Dricus Du Plessis are the next generation.
cool calm and collective. This guy reeks of confidence.
Developing tons of respect for this guy, wish I had paid more attention to him sooner. Big fan of Strickland but I’m not cool with the hypocrisy and double standards.
I doubt any of the build up matters for sean. Hes still gonna look nervous when he walks out like he always does. Hes still gonna walk dricus down and hes still gonna do "the man dance". Gonna be interesting to see how dricus is able to counter stricklands awkward style. Im hype for this
“I’m gonna knock you out way before you stab me” - man who was stabbed
This interview was great I wasn’t a much of a fan before this interview but I am now respect to dricus he’s a true martial artist
Hope everyone else could learn from this guy. Both fighters and fans. Impressive
He got that real man energy
I like dricus and can appreciate he understands sean isn't kidding about throwing away both of their lives. It's going to be a war. Neither man will quit short of their body failing them
This man is absolute class. I love em both. Good luck gentleman.
This dude is growing on me. The confidence but it’s not cocky or corny. Just the right amount of confidence lol
I love Sean Strickland and how he beat Adesanya to be champion. I also am really starting to like DDP. This is one of the fights that whoever wins, I'll be happy.
