"I'm African but ain't no brother of yours son" cuts to a shot of Izzy dressed like a Chinese comic book figure is so damn funny. The man gets in people's heads.
Raiden is a video game character to be fair 😂
Time stamp please 😂
@@andresl6313 7:58
deep down it hurts izzy. knowing that DDP has a point, "first REAL african champion born, bred, training in africa". Izzy, usman, francis all left and never put an African MMA gym on the map and bring the belt back home to LIVE there. They are all USA, New Zealand or France made champs of african descent. So the only thing izzy has is to point to race. Pathetic. esp when Leon Edwards gets to rep england as its first English made and living champ, while Bisping trained out of USA and lived there as champ.
@@streetplaya23I guarantee you he doesn’t… lol yall are so ignorant. Learn history and then come back and have a real conversation
Justice for MMA Guru we all wanted his segment.
He's not in it?
I was thinking the same thing!
He has had back and forth with ufc employees. Of course they were going to cut him.
But they put the weasel in it… damn that hurts
He couldn't fit in the frame
It doesn't get talked about a lot, but it's pretty wild that DDP has 19 finishes in 20 wins
and that one decision win should have been a finish, Tavares was just too tough
the world gonna know who ddp is when he finishes strickland aswell
Its talked about plenty by the yarpies, no such thing as humility in SA man
i thought that only happened in UFC career mode lmao
Yeah he's a monster
11:36 D’Sean Strickland on his locker is so damn funny
10:40 Strickland saying the AK47 is the most American gun 😂😂😂😂
a very well known Russian gun 😂😂
I was about to comment the same thing 😂
''MMA Guru was never my friend.''
Naturally
Strictly talking about Dricus, Dricus has been a lifelong martial artist. Started Judo at the age of 5 and then went on to compete at the national level becoming the national Judo champion. He wanted to get away from the gi competition so first tried wrestling and then became a kickboxer where he went on to become a 30-0 Kickboxing champion. He also is a former Rugby player like Volk. He went to EFC first for his first MMA promotion and then became a double champion in EFC. He then moved on to Polish promotion called KSW and became the champion in KSW before getting into UFC where he has not lost a single fight since his debut. As a matter of fact, last time he lost was in 2018. He has beaten several UFC ranked opponents. Not many people know, he competes in elite level BJJ competitions. He faced the entire Gracier Barra BJJ team and it was 1 vs all of the team. He went one by one through the entire Gracie Barra BJJ team and submitted each and everyone one of them.
He still be kissing men though and that’s gay
@@stealthyturtles Yeah, the homphobes like Strickland. I personally believe everyone's personal life is their own business. It is a South African cultural thing. He is not gay as his girlfriend is in this video in the gym with him, but even if he was, that is his own personal business. No one has a right to tell him what to do and what not to do. Strickland is a hater so he needs a way to find hate against others and the minions follow blindly.
You going to read his horoscope too? Sounds like you're gay for him my dude.
Caring about another man's secuality is pretty gay dude@@MrFreshFinger
Weird that Strickland fans simply cannot stop talking about dudes kissing other dudes@@stealthyturtles
"This is the most american gun" .... shows a Khalashnikov.
I died.
Yeah thought it was irony but don’t think so
Was looking for this comment 😅😅😅
2 mythical fighters go at it, Nose breathing DDP challenges Shredded D'Sean Strickland
Man, ufc production team stiffed Chris Curtis in that firing range shot 😂
Typical
Sean's in his underwear shooting guns in the dessert and you're talking about Curt looking bad? 🤣
Man the UFC production crew really deserves its props. These are gettin so good, nite and day compared to when they used to do UFC Prime Time
Trust in Jesus, Hell is real and eternal! This is what the Bible says about it..
"The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 13: 41-42
Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven "I am the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the father but by me." John 14:6 Ask God to reveal this to you- He will!
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 ADMIT THAT YOU'RE A SINNER. We've all broken God's laws and ten commandments.. "Thou shalt not lie, steal, covet, dishonor parents, take God's name in vain.."(Exodus 20) We do not have righteousness on our own to get to heaven, "God made him (Jesus) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Cor. 5:21 Godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against the righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out. God is deadly serious about sin, when we genuinely repent we hate sin just as God hates it, and we turn away from it.
"But God commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS, WAS BURIED, AND THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. He saves us from sin and hell and brings us into a relationship with him. We become God's children. We are saved from hell, eternal death.
"For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.
Read the Bible, Walk with the Lord and give your life to Him!
True but even they cant get me excited for the Pennington V Bueno Silva fight
Just realized that Dricus finished his opponent in 19 of his 20 wins. Only 1 decision. Crazy.
I know crazy bro
6 finishers in ufc
The scenes with dricus were epic ..cant wait for strickland vs du plessis
dricus has no personality all he could do is pick at seans childhood trauma
@@siers1432English is his second language... it tends to be difficult to be yourself when you have to speak a different language than your mother tongue. Anyway who cares? As long as he knocks people the f out
Wrong ..sean has no personality...all.he does is swears and pick on others like a bully..hes gonna meet a real bully in that cage on Jan 20@@siers1432
@@siers1432 He might have the biggest personality in mw.
Omg it's going to be epic
Fan of both but would love to see Sean go on a run with the belt.
I would love to see Sean go on a run and never come back

Is that all he gets
20:20 too
That's how you open a countdown 👏
If Dricus beats Strickland, he would be the first African champion to win a belt fighting out of Africa 🔥
You mean Dutch occupying Africa, for now. 😂😂
@offthecuff1966 I'm sure you don't say the same with every African or latino "ocupying" US soil and winning a belt, do you?

@@offthecuff1966wrong
@@offthecuff1966what countries are whites allowed in according to you?
Love the fact that UFC fans are finally seeing EFC and African MMA for the first time. We hosted the Rugby World Cup, Cricket World Cup, FIFA World Cup. We are ready to host the UFC!
You have no champion yet and you won't any time soon so figure that out first
WHO
Ufc don't do stadium events
@@clintwiesen4761Singapore doesn't have a champ and they host events there , even before there was a Chinese champ
Rugby is such a stupid sport.. you just touch a ball at finish line and you win lol
I think people are underestimating the potential Du Plessis has to be a HUGE star in the UFC. He has alllllll the ingredients, the look, the skills, the fighting style, and most importantly the intelligence and ability to speak well and be very quick witted in pressure situations like all the press and promotion leading up to a fight
plus would't it be cool if the ufc had an african champion? They could do ufc africa for a defense
@@drewdrewson1384 a gay african at that.
He's not all that imo. Strickland by dec or ref stoppage.
As much as I love Strickland as a fighter, the more I see of DDP the more I like him as a person and a fighter. They have all underestimated him and they have all learned the hard way, should be a good scrap. Good luck to both men.
What do you think about DDP making out with his entire corner prior to fighting?
@@tjlg7335reminds me of smelling salts, gets a man all fired up
@@tjlg7335 so damn ignorant, but i'm the fool for actually engaging with you, such is life
No problem with it.
DDP is way to wild for a tactician like Sean. He throws wide wild hooks, Sean will feed him straight shots right down the pipe all night.
It should be a great fight!
I'm a DDP fan but who doesn't love Sean Strickland. Either way, I have respect for both fighters💯 I can't wait🤙
ima Sean fan but DDP is different in how he fights and I don't think he can be knocked out, I can't wait either!!
One of those fights where you want both guys to win
I Feel the same way my love...
@@Casteeyo... it be great if the bell rang and Sean and DDP just held each other and talked
@sitindogmas ikr... if they just kissed and made up right?.. how sweet it'll be to see Dana turn red
Did the UFC actually just put Weasle in their promo?? hell yeah!
Great to see a lot of African fan support for DDP, he is a class act and beast.
Lets go Dricus!
EFC looks like a very quality operation. Respect 🙏
I work with traumatized kids in foster care and seeing Strickland who overcame all of his struggles to become a world champion is so inspiring and gives me hope for these kids. You can’t help but be inspired. Also, UFC countdown is amazing!
We all work with past traumatized kids in foster care.
🤦
@@eldergoob6086 gatekeeping working with traumatized kids lmao. What is wrong with you
It doesn´t seem he overcame the struggles, he just managed to win the belt with them.
Dricus KOs him in round 2
The amount of time they gave Izzy in this whole segment is really pushing the next fight for the winner. Sean vs Izzy in the rematch or DDP vs Izzy with their beef. Either way big fight with a bunch of footage for the lead up. 300 main event
I can't see Izzy wanting to fight either one of them... Sean clearly has his number, so Izzy most likely would prefer to fight Dricus...
Izzy vs Gastelum was on April 13th, UFC 300 is April 13th, it's destiny
Hell nah. Izzy tryna be the new Colby with all these undeserved title shots
@@delsinmcgrath882can’t put Colby and Izzy in the same sentence. Izzy is the best 185 we’ve seen in 10 years. Colby loses all his title fights. And he can’t beat brothas when it counts ✊🏿
@@Moor_Fishyeah not a fan of izzy but to compare him to colby is so stupid, he’s one of the MW goats
Sean's word to bleep ratio is insane 😂❤
Omg! Every first 30sec of UFC countdown always gives me chills!
You're trolling, right?
@@glorigargoglouno, he's serious. Dude needs to get out the house more. 😂😂😂
@@ma-bx1oydefinitely you should take your own advice also

Why yall hating. The countdown and embedded production teams do a great job. “It’s time for UFC 297…………..Countdown!”
First live event for me ! I’m hyped
Must be exciting, have fun bro/sis!
Nice..hope du plessis puts on a show
Casual.
@@SatoshiShintoMe lmao ok buddy
Lucky you... I've never been to one...just watched them on PPV... Just seeing all the famous people and legacy fighters there would be a thrill... I'd be begging them for their autographhs... Lol...
This is the Biggest Moment for South African Mixed Martial arts Ever!!!! Nothing comes close 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 We on the Brink of Having a First South African UFC Champion
It's big for all of Africa
He’s got a punchers chance but Strickland is so good now, dudes really hit his ceiling finally.
@@Notmintvrhaha hopefully you Said it Right
You will see how much better America is

Goated comment
Let's go Dricus 👊🏽🇿🇦⚔️
Perfect fight. Both can't do an interview without mentioning their country 😂
DDP at 19 is a savage
Love hearing MMA Weasle in official UFC videos.
I forgot his name, so thanks for that! His voice is perfect for UFC countdown videos
Proud to be born and raised in PRETORIA! Let's GO DRIcus! Bring daai belt huistoe laat ons sien!
shhhhhhhh boer⚰

would always wonder what UFC PPV promo cuts would look like for Sean. this is dope.
Come on Dricus.. come on boy.. do it for all of us in South Africa!! Win or lose... fan for life. "They don't know what we know"... prove that statement right Dricus

I'm so happy. But I feel like he isn't being recognised enough in South Africa for what he's doing
Colonizer
Lol he is going to loose
@@AfterOurs999poes
Strickland shooting an ak at the end of the entro was gold
Didn't know DDP was a double champ in another organization. Interesting story being laid out if he wins and goes on a defending streak.
Former EFC (Extreme Fighting Championship) welterweight and middleweight champion.
He was also champ in KSW.
He would have to go up to light heavyweight and fight alex where he stands no chance but he also has to beat strikland which he has no chance
@@clintwiesen4761 He actually has the advantage against Alex. His grappling is no joke. He's also a better mma fighter than Sean. If this were a boxing match maybe, but DDP should beat Sean 9/10 times and Alex, as crazy as this might sound, 10/10.
@@clintwiesen4761 Its funny how nobody thought Strickland was good until the izzy fight. Either hes entering his absolute prime or we will find out he has no business at the top.
Dricus all the way south Africa 🇿🇦
Always had a soft corner for South Africa. Love their cricket . Lets go Du Plessis.
Such a shame though that South Africa as a country is falling apart.
They’re fools for trying to stop Israel.
@@madgavin7568anywhere that was once nice is falling that way dude.
@@Djb-ie2tc Not necessarily. Singapore is still nice. As is Japan, South Korea, the Baltic countries and the Czech Republic to name but a few.
You’re right… I should have been more specific. I was thinking of the west
Idk why but Sean saying the Ak 47 was the most American gun made me laugh
Say what you want about Dricus. He’s very admirable and a proud African. He’s way more motivated, the whole continent is supporting him. Get the win, Dricus! You deserve it!
18:16 D'Sean mocks Izzy for running away for 25 minutes
D’Sean Strickland on the locker is hilarious
😂😂😂
The build ups for fights are excellent and so well produced, always look forward to the countdown and embedded series
Kudos to the UFC production team for editing out Laura Sanko's screeching voice when the knockdown occurred!
The raw passion that came out of strickland last round vs izzy was a sight to behold
That intro was 10/10 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These little doc you series for these UFC events are absolutely fire, bro
Dang y’all woke up some past trauma I had from witnessing Matt Serra upset GSP 😂
Narcissist piggy Guru is crying 😂😂😂
I’m still mad Covington forgot how to fight but Strickland versus DDP will help me get over it
😅 what man
Absolutely. I went to the Edward's vs Covington fight. Only event I've ever attended. Can't believe Colby fought that way
Well you get to see another American lose so you won't be too happy trust. Strickland will get hurt not just beaten.
"Hurt not beaten"
Wait, which one is worse than the other?@@MegaSeano
@@MegaSeano I'm American went to the Colby fight. He's my favorite fighter but I'm cheering for Dricus. Relax

Ur kidding right
He fights like a drunk sailor

We wanna see GURU
I get hyped for these about as much as the fights these countdowns are legit !!!

Africans are with dricus duplesis ❤
Ive watched DDP since he jumped in the UFC, each fight i am shocked by his performance. However i do love strickland. ❤️
Bro this was one of the best countdown intros
Those calls from Strickland's corner were ON POINT. Glad they have included those in
we need guru interview
Oh snap they used thaWeasel’s voice in this episode 👀
Goosebumps!! 'What a CountDowN'
Feels like they are building up to an EFC colab event or even a broader partnership down the line! That would be amazing for African MMA. DDP bringing the belt to SA will be huge for the sport in the country!
Ufc would be mad not to tap into that pipeline when they make their run for africa.
Dricus Du Plessis is fighting for a much higher purpose than just the belt. Much like the Springboks, he's got the whole weight of a nation behind him.
🇿🇦
Meh.....
A whole continent!
Gonna be hilarious when he gets dominated by Strickland’s 1-2
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mnSean is in big shit with his style ddp beating him back to fightnights

Lol, no it isn't.
Mad respect to the production team🎉

he'll be wearing don frye's hat
The way that Sean Strickland has been carrying himself and speaking lately it gives you chills almost because he's super locked in nobody could beat him right now I think

Hey , TheWeasle made it to ufc content. You are the best my guy. 20:25
enjoyed this very well produced
When Malott said “I’ve made a career out of finishing guys” it definitely didn’t sound like he was talking about fighting😂😂
