Either Sean gets boofed relatively early or DDP gets outpointed. Maybe. I have no idea. Mighty Mouse by Flying Dtwist
Mighty Mouse, Im fucking dead💀💀💀💀 nice one🤣🤣
The chances he can walk Dricus down is low. I'm sure he trained for that but the problem is that if he's competitive at all then the sig strikes from a guy like that aren't just dangerous but they work in Dricus' favour if it went to a decision. I think if Dricus is a smart fighter he'll refuse to go to the ground regardless of what happens because Sean's most likely win condition is his jiu jitsu. Did you see his biceps at the weigh ins? You won't get that from striking but you would if you were working really hard on jiu jitsu/wrestling. Add that together with Sean saying he might lose, dude knows he's probably going to have to muscle through a few good slaps to the yapper to set up the W.
It seems almost every fight the prediction is always fighter 1 will win early or fighter 2 will win in later rounds
Tends to happen when one dude has a bunch of decisions and the other has a bunch of early round stoppages.
flying dick twist has me creased bruh
Dan Hardy - You're taking everything I worked for mfer😂
Bayliun actually discusses the ground game. Dan just gets PTSD everytime he sees grappling and short circuits.
That channel has come a long way. From voice over videos with random stock footage to this. 🔥
I am watching quite a lot of breakdown videos on these two fighters and this is one o he best. What I particularl like is that he doesnt equate DDP's differrent and akward style to ineptitude but search why, despite the looks, it is so effective. Some breakdowns just deride Dricus' style which riles me up.
@@cobusbrits2 it’s correct, he’s gotten kickboxing championships and to a ufc title fight. As you say it’s effective just very very unorthodox
Izzy was a puzzle that Sean solved pretty early on in that fight. Dricus may be unorthodox and unpredictable, but Sean solved the puzzle of one of the greatest of all time.. I think he solves this one too. Don’t give him a rubix cube though , I have no faith in THAT puzzle being solved. Sean W 3rd round by TKO

It's a dang good split, should be a good fight. Leaning ddp
Loved this comment!
That step-shot of DDP is actually such a unique, beautiful thing.
It's a pretty interesting strategy and he really makes it work for him!
Also utilized by Petr Yan! Used it really well to drop Faber.
We really wanna act like Poirier isn’t the step in master?
@@Umadoveracommentg he definitely switch hits and squares up for flurries, but I would say it's still a very different and more defensive style than DDP
Dricus will send him home in a wheelchair.
Possibly my favorite Bayliun videos are these breakdowns. These and Dan Hardys breakdowns I gotta watch the morning of a fight. 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks man, glad that you loved it!
I really hope that if Dricus wins they don't give Adeysana the title fight. I want Adeysana to fight at least one contender before he gets another title fight.
Lol. Adesanya is the MW division. He will fight for the MW or LHW title whenever he wants.
@@mrspiff6955No he won’t because he’s currently 2-2 in his last 4 and he’s coming off a loss after just losing the belt for a second time in a year’s span
On the feet Dricus has being awkward and good power, Sean will outclass him on the feet.
Believe me, Dricus will definitely use wrestling in this fight.
I am also leaning towards the idea that Sean's striking defence will be enough to avoid the majority of DDP's big strikes
I think DDP will start on his feet, realize he's not going to win there and start crotch sniffing in the 2nd or 3rd. My bets on DDP submission in the 4th.
Yeah I agree.
@@Bayliunsame, I think Sean’s going to put dricus on his back foot once Sean starts landing it’s going to be a hard thing to overcome. I do however think dricus can easily take Sean down and can out scramble Sean easily but man I’ve seen dricus in wars getting lit the fuck up and still not go for a take down. That’s why I favor Sean cause I don’t think dricus is coming to wrestle
@@darrenneaveSean’s never been submitted tho. If ddp waits to use it later when he has less energy I don’t think he’ll be able to hold Strickland down
DDP looks gassed but he never actually slows down, watch his fights
Yeah didn’t he have a nose issue or something?
yeah @@JulianFlores_GT people are absolutely sleeping on how much that deviated septum surgery changed his gas tank. He did nearly his entire career not delivering oxygen to his blood stream correctly.
@@KyleAndrewnot really he was breathing through his mouth 30 seconds in against Whitaker and didn’t look any different than before.
@@KyleAndrewdude he gasses cause he carry’s a ton of muscle. A deviated septum won’t affect your cardio that much and also the Whittaker fight only went a minute and half into round 2. Ge beat Whittaker because ddp blitzes with multiple shots and Whittaker only thruway 1 or 2 when he blitzes. He caught Whittaker on the 3rd punch he threw when he blitzed him
The shot that dropped Whittaker may have landed "just right", and Whittaker let it through by leaving himself open for it. Strickland 's defense ain't gonna be so east like that. This one is very hard to pick, but I think Sean's defense is the key to his victory. And...STILL!!!
i know i already commented, but...i have to add...DDP has to WIN this fight. DDP is trying to take what Sean has. he has to PROVE that he won, whateever that means. Sean can play defence and pick his shots and still walk out champ. Will Sean do that? I think no...just based on him as a fighter. But we shall see...really REALLY looking forward to this one!
P.S. Sean is legit a peoples champ. I think win or lose he still has the crowd.
this guy does the best breakdowns. I want Sean to win but that unpredictable South African rhino is a dangerous man
If he ends up fighting Izzy and doesn't call himself the white rhino that's a missed opportunity
Thanks man!
@@Bayliun you're awesome bro. Love the whole MMA on point cast but I think your persona and takes are the most entertaining and nuanced. Great work man
@@BayliunPlease make this a more regular thing! Your breakdowns are my favorite thing on the channel I never miss them!
@@LottoWavy Thanks man! One per PPV is probably enough though haha
“Precision beats power, timing beats speed.”
Coolest intro song I swear, gets me hyped everytime
Very nice breakdown i was at ddp last session before he went to Canada his cardio is insane now,fixed nose more science in his cardio training he went 13 rounds with 8 team mates that is why Dricus is smoking sean in amazing fashion 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🔥🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆
DDP loves to shell up. Strickland loves to attack the shell. Will be fun to watch.
Great vid. Need more of these!
You may never see this comment, but the band on your shirt, I remember them from the early 2000's
Best jab in the UFC and now the most popular fighter on the roster
I've been telling people about that step through blitz style, I don't think people realize the method of the madness, if Sean watched film, I would have more confidence..You don't want to back straight up against Dricus, you have to fight him like a matador, and get those angles, or hold your ground and through that elbow down the middle..Sean is usually the deceptively long fighter down the middle, but Dricus is deceptively long also, even when he doesn't step in..Dricus is the guy to smash down the middle with elbows when he steps in, providing you can avoid that initial shot..It will be interesting..Clash of the unique, unusual, uncommon pugilists..
You get it dude that's right! Great style he has going for him
@@BayliunI’m sure Sean’s coaches watched his fights and told him what he needs to do
That "marching forward while punching" blitz thing is so cool. I've always loved watching guys who can do that. This fight could go either way, but I think Sean's defense and durability is gonna win him the fight. I really like Dricus, and hope he has a great performance, but I think Strickland will win.
@@meridianheights6255 I would love to see Sean defend his belt, but I think Dricus has too many weapons and he's a force of nature that probably won't be denied..
Believe me, Sean’s coach Eric Nicksick (one of the best in the business) definitely watched tape of Dricus in the preparation for this fight.
There’s no doubt they have a plan A-Z on how to deal with him and his chaotic blitzing style.
These are the vids I love, and when you go through close fights and when you explain to people what's happening when to the untrained eye they're doing nothing or little. For me this is going the distance and Strickland takes it by split decision
Glad you like these breakdowns dude!
I think this is the best video breakdown of DDP/Strickland and I'm trying to compare them all! I absolutely can imagine your prediction coming true, but I'm guessing DDP forces the issue so it doesn't go the full five rounds, so I'm picking DDP.
just a heads up, Diamond Dallas Page owns the copywrite to "DDP"
He's goina have to step aside and let dricus have it. DDP does alot of good things but he's from a different generation. I think it's time to let someone else use the name.
As we get closer and closer I am more and more losing idea of who will win. Could go either way
I was convinced Strickland had no chance, Dricus was Clubber Lang, and it was over,
But sometime around Wednesday it just clicked and I realised what the bookies and pros see in Strickland and yeah, he definately has a chance
Has there been a single DDP fight where people were sure about the outcome? Speaks volumes to the guy's unique style. He seems to make it work, though. Dricus is gambling kryptonite.
Great content. Let's go sean
I dont think anyone with merrit behind their name can pick whos going to win. Which makes it so bloody interesting
what i said as well, this is a fight that we havent seen in a while, i dont think anyone could place a finger on whose gonna win. A ton of what ifs...well said brotha
Great analysis this was fun and informative. My favorite part was breaking down DDP covering distance and punching while stepping. I loved the examples and explanation. I feel DDP can use this to help get td too. If it it's just hands and jab v jab, I would lean Sean. But I think Dricus can get it done imo
Two guys who seem to both be all sorts of “Don’t do this”, this is great.
You talked me into each one twice 🤣
I think ddp will throw in grappling
That would be really bad if his striking is working at all because Sean will have trained for the possibility his own striking won't be enough. It's hard to outpoint a guy who's feeding you sig strikes by accident. Unless he's getting walked down then Dricus needs to keep it on their feet or Sean will try to wrap him up.
this is a fantastic unbiased breakdown of 2 fighters. applause. i think this is a tough fight to call, ddp's power, seans technique. ooffff, the kinda fight i like to see and think about. torn.
Thanks my dude glad you liked it!
great analysis ,thank you very much
Baliun's definition of "rolling with punches", (which appears to be adding some hooks or overhands at the end o a combination), is very different to what I was taught by my boxing coach in high school.
ie To move your head back or away from the punch to reduce its power.
Best breakdown thus far
The takedowns of Dricus come from having rugby union as a base and as a result immaculate recons no fear of being hit in the head
I got a feeling Shawn will ether be too aggressive or be very hesitant because of all the emotions and ether way it will cost him. If I was a betting man my money would be on DDP
DDP was practically running away from Bobby Knucks in their fight.. he's either gonna melt in the third round or land a hammer before then. (Edit re-watched the fight and running away is a bit strong but he looked pretty tentative and I thought he was gonna have a rough night till he landed that bomb)
Bro what 😂
@@magicM526dude I re-watched this and yea maybe my critique was a bit strong. He looked gun shy to me but wasn't exactly running. My bad. Lol 😅
Any fight Ferguson isn’t losing is a friend of mine
Anyone else remember how much hate Bayliun got in the early days of the channel? I'm glad that's changed, his analysis videos are on point (pun intended).
DDP by RNC in three
I like the prediction my dude! haha
Right? But he seems like the only one on the channel with any actual training or fight experience.
To be fair, Tom was on the British Judo team back in the day which is a hell of an achievement! @@davidblane771
@@Bayliun Let's hope it's accurate! Thanks for the work you put in to the channel, you guys are very much appreciated
@@Bayliun Video idea: The lore of the MMA on Point team.
First person I saw use the step through straights was John Wayne Parr back in the day and I always used it against people who pull a lot! My current coach teaches it a lot, it’s great off a hard body kick pushing someone back also! (Great in Muay Thai, not sure about the takedown vulnerability it may create in mma)
Amazing analysis, as always!
Thanks man!
Dricus is a terrible match up for Strickland. If Sean swarms him on the fence, which is likely cause ddp likes to shell up to the fence often, then Dricus will take his head off like he did to Trevin Giles. And his step through punches will 100% land on Strickland who isn’t the most mobile. Plus the wrestling advantage. I can’t see Sean winning this one :(
Nice analysis my dude! Let's see if you're right!
You said the same thing about adysonia
Strickland is every bit as bad a match-up as dricus is for him
This fights fun because these guys are style nightmares for eachother
@@SwampOperator yeah this is it 100% hahaha
If Sean times it right he might intercept DDP's face coming in during the blitz with a jab
I think he’s planning that because that’s how DDP beat Whittaker but I’m betting he’s gonna get him in the clinch and I think Sean’s better in the clinch
Sean should be able to do that pretty well, especially since that seems to be how he fights guys with real power (other than Alex). Sean’s defensive striking could be a major problem for DDP as those lunges do have a major weakness against lateral movement, which is something that Sean likes to do, and they leave massive openings with little chance to counter. If Sean sees that early, I think he’ll crack DDP two to three times on those counters and then Dricus will panic and start shooting takedowns.
It’ll either be a barn burner or end quickly type of fight
I’m really enjoying these breakdowns. Reminds me of espn’s Detail series
More breakdown videos like this. 🔥🔥
Thanks man!
Great breakdown bro ❤
I will be surprised if Strickland does not get ragdoll for five rounds, he stands so straight up in the air
84% takedown defense
Sean’s never been subbed in mma, his try is 80 percent. Ddp only way to win is to just take a chance and try and land a big punch. He can take that risk cause Sean doesn’t have one shot ko power.
A gassed abus took strickland down, 84% takedown defense is a padded record when you fought no grapplers
This i love this comment @@baycreek
Dricus is going to wreck Sean. I like Sean a lot, he’s based af. But all the Sean fanboys will be saying “oh yea, Sean’s actually a really simple fighter with little to offer that has only faced 2 top level guys in recent years.”
Man the first minute of this fight 👐🤝 I'm rubbing my hands together like I'm birdman
Loved the content, but I wish there was more of an effort for visual distinctness when MMA channels do fight breakdowns. I’m certain it’s not easy.
Song and artist name for that opening beat please? 👀🔥🔥
Where the unfamiliars at
Why does DDP look too big for the division or am I crazy??
MMA Right On Point 💯
Nice shirt, i have a no blues poster on my wall as well!
Hahah I did wonder if there'd be one LC Comment haha
@@Bayliun there are dozens of us. dozens!
“ both fighters vulnerabilities”. You see how good dricus does this !
I like both these guys
I feel like DPPs weakness could be getting clipped while blitzing, similar to how forrest blitzed anderson and walked into that short punch. I dont know if sean can back out of danger and land that precise of a shot tho. But i still got sean by split dec.
Great video, but why'd we have to relive that Rob fight 🥲
Surprisingly good breakdown
Best breakdown on YT
Thanks dude!
I came to this after watching mighty mouse's breakdown and not only is this more in depth but ya pulling out some wicked points no one else is mentioning. Kudos
Like everyone else is just aww can Strickland's jab and Philly shell out compete DDPs forward pressure. Don't think I heard anyone else mention gas tank, grappling was barely mentioned. Then you showing us things like the slipping over the lead hand. Actual kudos
@@hookedentertainment9089 Well thanks man! Just highlighting things I'm seeing!
So humble haha. I am curious how trained you or the crew are, like any coloured belts amongst the team? Or just solid fans of the sport?
Only asking cause you've hell won me over thru these types of analysis. When I first heard one of your break downs and it wasn't Tommy I was like wtf going on here with this pommy geezer... but again, you guys are just so solid on your facts and always speak to both sides of the arguments in any given fight
When they pay Sean down before the fight they gonna find a blade in his shorts 😂
Great fight analysis / breakdown. 👏👍 Rooting for DDP! 👊💥🇺🇸
His officially the favourite, first time since the odds came out !
Sean will win by stoppage. Book it and bet it. Under 4.5
Tab is offering $4 for a finish in the 3/4/5 if I didn't unload my clip into Dricus when was $2.10 I'd jump on it,
I kinda jumped in with my bets after the first press conference they did last year
😮 😅
Would be hilarious if any coaches watched this and they realised they missed something ❤️
Wow fantastic analysis 👌
Prediction Dricus knocks Sean’s lights out first round with a right cross 🤜
Damn Balian look at that hair😂
Hahaha tell me about it
5:56 unless I'm mistaken, DDP looks like he's throwing crosses as he steps, like Machida used to do. I bring it up just it it's a much more stable stance, with the back leg providing power to the punches and driving the motion, rather than a step-through with the front leg
Sean's title win reminded me a lot of Forrest
If izzy couldn't touch Sean I don't see DDP doing. But anything can happen!
Excellent take🇿🇦🇿🇦🏆
Limited edition title
What was the music at the start?
Strickland by decision.
Host looks ready to step into the Octagon himself - when we see that? :D
Best breakdown in the game
DDP said that he and his team watch all of his opponent's tape as part of camp. And so far he's been dominant in every fight. DDP by 2nd round submission.
Time for a haircut bro 😂😂😂
Might be hahah, just too much of it! 😂
DDP will be the first true African champion to bring the belt home to Africa. Sets up a great drama match for DDP vs. Adesanya.
My heart wants to say that Sean out manoeuvres ddp until he starts to gas out and then lays on a peppering of strikes for tko, but my gut feels like it might end up like his fight with Alex P and one bomb comes through and ends it there
Nice man! Love the analysis
Unfamiliars?
Title should be "Du Plessis's"... you don't use just a ' when it's a name/proper noun.
Get a life, dork.
Anyone think these past few weeks have helped Sean grow as a person? Think that last press conference really showed that & makes me think he's going to be really composed in there like the izzy fight. But again DDP is a great fighter as well, so I wouldn't be putting my money on anyone. I'll get the popcorn & see how it plays out
I don't want to live in a world where trailer park is the best base for MMA. DDP by kiss on the lips
you doing alright Bayliun? looking like its been a couple rough nights. (not insulting either) just genreally care
Hahaha 🤣 I wasn't dressed for this that's for sure haha. No man I'm good, just growing out my hair and hadn't shaved
@@Bayliun if youre good, thats all that matters. still a handsome mofo.
Do Please See's blitz attack is like if a schoolyard bully spent a decade honing his craft👊
this setup is insane overkill lol
DDP was not stepping with the same side he punches, that would take away power, he is stepping with the opposite foot while he punches, the side he is punching with sees his foot pushing off and offering support while he steps with the opposite foot.
ua-cam.com/video/PuCiGmxqjw4/v-deo.html You can see it clearly right here. His back leg is always supporting his punch. If he was stepping with the same side, his punch would have no supporting structure behind it as the foot would be in mid air.
Like isn't that why boxers keep their strong side on their back foot. So their shoulders hips and legs all lend support to their strong hand.
Unless I am missing something myself, happy to be corrected if so.
The Sean glassing needs to stop. The guy had one good win and now he’s a phenom? 😂
So you're suggesting that they shouldn't discuss upcoming fights because you don't like one of the fighters?
I got a notification for this today wtf lol
DDP fights like a middle weight prime Tyron Woodley.
Someone getting stabbed
Yea boii have a nice day everyone!
I need the music from 0:18
I think Sean is gonna repeat what he did with Izzy to DDP. Sean isn't the best, but his style is a really good counter for risky non conventional fighters. Izzy, is a counter puncher who relies on his ability to not get hit, and it failed against Sean. DDP will likely bull charge a lot in the first round, and if Sean can weather it he'll eat him up with traditional boxing. I think the only way for DDP to be successful is if he's gonna wrestle aswell and so Sean has to be weary of take downs.
Get off DDPs nuts. Sean is going to destroy him.
You most likely missed the presser ???!
Strickland was ALL OVER DDP's Nuts !!!
It was insane !!!
So happy Sean came out the closet finally !!! 👍✊
@@walterkaiyuenpang3556you living fantasies I reject your deposit when's your sweet ass gonna come outta the closet - 50 cent
You should do a video on the drake curse
Robin Black called... he wants his gig back.
DDP reminds me of Pena 2nd fight against Nuhnes.
DDP reminds me of almost every woman fighter that isn’t named Cyborg, Nunez, or Andrade.
Me and my group of friends call it that “pitter-patter”.
Woman always step forward with every blitz and you hear “ha-ha-ha-ha”. And the shots have no real power behind them.
Dricus has that pitter-patter style
