i wasn’t a fan of you for a while DDP but i got so much respect for you now firstly the way you carried yourself through the whole izzy drama now how you’re calling out the best guy which is khamzat even in his backyard. much respect DDP
Big respect to DDP who really understands the fight game. Carries himself like a champion - welcoming the next challenge. DDP v Khamzat is most definitely what us fans want - LETS GO!
Strickland really is like a cold sore to this division. Go tf away and let us have the fight we want. DDP vs Khamzat is one of the most compelling matchups in a long time.
I mean, telling him to go away is kind of crazy. He deserves to be in the conversation. It was promised to him. I want to see the khamazat fight but if they skip over Strickland Dana will literally be showing us what his word is worth; nothing.
@@FearOfGod444 Dana White has never done pinky promises though. His word has always been iffy too. Things change and he hasn't made it better for himself by being a brat and refusing fights. Look at guys like Ankalaev, Belal, Merab, Aspinall, Sandhagen and whoever else. There are much worse injustices going on in the sport and they've all acted with exponentially more grace too
Telling him to go away is too much,yes I prefer khamzat vs ddp over him any day but he definitely deserves to be in the conversation for the title shot sooner or later
Very weird take, Sean is top level and gave us exciting fights against Izzy and DDP. The Costa one was not as exciting but that one fight doesn't turn him into Belal lol.
Du Plessis keeps being doubted and he keeps proving the doubters wrong. This is gonna be Chimaev's ultimate test and his hardest fight up to this point
@@ikhan2181Izzy does NOT want that lol he got dog walked for 25 minutes. he had 5 rounds to change his gameplan and find a solution but he couldn't. that was Izzy after finally beating Alex. the best version of Izzy and he lost. he didn't "get caught" he got embarrassed for 25 minutes
@@ikhan2181 ALSO a worthy Idea but not a great Idea for Izzy as far as If he wins he gets a chance to lose to DDP again because that was a clear difference. Nothing against Izzy but DDP is the younger much more hungry fighter and honestly if they had show up at the same time Izzy would have a much better chance and I want to say he would win..he might have. He did when he was needing to
Ok i see it now DDP can breakdown people's strength and weaknesses really Accurately and put a game plan together using his strengths to win ..he's much smarter then people think 🤔 👍
DDP being the type of champs that we need, welcoming tough challenges. He's been the underdog against Rob, Sean, Izzy & he will be again against Chimaev. Let's fckn go. Make it happen Dana. Sean gambled & he lost. Chimaev shut the door on him.
No he's actually the 2-1 betting favorite according to vegas sportsbook. They know what's up too no way Khamzat chokes out DDP dude doesnt even have a neck.
Can’t be Colby fans. We love wrestling, that’s how Colby beat Masvidal and ppl were saying it was a boring fight. Don’t put Colby fans in this bro, we also hate the jab merchant Stricklands fighting style. No Colby fan hates wrestling cut the malarkey bro!
@@mfundimkhize3137 Colby as a fighter is boring though, not because of wrestling, i love Islams, Khamzat's, even Merab's wrestling, Khabib's was also fun, but Colby's style is straight up boring. Colby's wrestling is equally boring as Strickland's striking
@@ettorebugatti9354Yep good nuance there are types of wrestling Guys like Khabib, Islam, Khamzat hunt for the finish Guys like colby, belal, merab, GSP, evloev, usually more control based, with little bit of ground and pound
@@ettorebugatti9354 Colby & Merab are the same bro. At least the Russians are a bit different(Islam, Khamzat, Khabib). It just shows you just dislike Colby. Merab barely submits like Colby. I like them both though, it’s a suffocating style that’s hard to beat.
@@Izzy-zh8ck I know he is but you're most likely a pakistani who lives vicariously through Dagestani fighters etc because they're Muslim and your own kind can't fight or get in the UFC. Bit rich of you to be bemoaning racism when your entire comment history is projecting onto white fighters, funny that? Does it emasculate you??
Burns exposed him. When Cumshot faces an equal grappler/wrestler he won't engage on the ground and will stand and bang but when he is the better ground fighter he will take the fight to the ground. Regardless of his injury vs Usman, he wouldn't do that for three to five rounds against that level of wrestling
Dricus, We as South Africans are hugely proud of you. You talk like a Champion, You walk like a Champion and you Bliksem like a Champion. You are such a exemplary role model for the entire world to see.
Merab ducking Umar Alex ducking Ankalaev Jones ducking Aspinall it's refreshing to see a champion that's actively calling for the hardest fight in the division
Ankalaev ducks the title himself lol calls for Abu Dhabi Dana hates him for saying he doesnt wanna fight in the UFC anymore so he got the penalty and we got the best fight of the year and the best and craziest flow of a fighter in Alex in R4 I have seen in such a long time even used crazy headmovent all of the sudden

@@kingmoreorless2810you do know DDP has wrestling and judo in his resume don’t you? Does Khamzat have elite striking? Because the way I see it his attempt at striking worked against cans who were not top 5 in a division. He ran into Gilbert Burns and got the beating of a lifetime trying to stand up. After that has always shot for takedowns vs Holland, Usman and now Whittaker. Crazy how you people don’t see how this fight will go very south for him once DDP stuffs his takedown.
Hillbilly Sean "Split Decision" Strickland is hands down the snooziest fighter in the UFC. As for real excitement, champion Du Plessis said it best-next fight should be Du Plessis vs. Khamzat. Now that's a super fight!
We have been warning people about DDP for years. Some fans have woken up to the fact of how good he is and some are still delusional. DDP is beating Khamzat. I have no doubt about it. Keep them coming. Like always, I will respond after Dricus beats his opponent. That is always how it goes down.
5:29 “when someone is coming to fight you like Khamzat does, you go out and you fight him. If he comes to wrestle you, you wrestle him back. If you just defend there’s not a scenario where he’s threatened at all”. Oooo We gonna get a banger! 💪
DDP would submit Khamzat. Khamzat is open to submissions and DDP has about a 50% sub rate for all of his fights. He has a killer guillotine and other chokes that will be a big counter threat to Khamzat's wrestling offense. He has an extremely powerful squeeze.
I expect a dog fight once Khamzat can’t get control on DDP. That’s where the real dog in DDP will overpower him 😂 he better pray to his beloved leader Kadyrov for mercy because it’s going to get brutal
I really love DPP now. Hated on him and he grew on me. He definitely deserves respect. To fight Poatan in South Africa for a double champ status would be so crazy. And then if Alex does what he does and knocks him out in front of his people Round One, that would be pretty sad.
@ I don’t think he would lose to costa and they wouldn’t make that fight. DPP is reigning and defending champion. I don’t see costa ever getting that chance again. Him moving up makes sense, and who else is gonna beat Poatan at 205? Definitely not the crouch sniffing goat humper.
DDP beats both of them he goes down as the MW goat. Nobody else worthy in that division. Maybe they move in Ian Garry just so that DDP can do the fans one more favour
he says Ank Rakic was boring and Ank couldnt finish him but Jiri could, as if Rakic wasnt PTSD from the Jiri fight and fighting completely different, running on the back foot the whole time
Ank just showed he doesn’t present finishing ability on the feet to put Rajic away despite rocking him. Pereira won’t even give him the light of day to get an advantage on the feet. He better channel his inner Khabib because he will get knocked out quickly trying to stand with Poatan
Dricus is such a great champ. 185 needed him. Willing to fight anyone, doesn't back down from the scary guys. Well spoken, intelligent analysis, humble and straight forward. Admits when guys are a danger to him. The only thing that he doesn't do is admit that Sean almost beat him and therefore deserves a rematch. I am a DDP fan, but honestly Sean has come closest to beating DDP so he does deserve the next shot. Otherwise, I agree with DDP
Whittaker is my guy but now, DDS has earned my respect as the deserving MW champ. I believe he will not only beat Khamzat but finish him to elevate his stature even higher. Like the Highlander in the movie, the South African warrior, will take Borz' soul when he sends him to the Shadow Realm. And in comparison with Ilia, DDS' expression of confidence doesn't require the gimmickry and aping the Notorious like what Topuria does.
I doubt that but I respect your opinion, it’s a fighting game so anything can happen, we got shocked, excited, and sad numerous times because that’s how the game works and that’s why we are addicted to the sports.

Im becoming a big Fan of this man he's the truth nothing but respect for DDP !!!
Let's Goo Chammpppp
Good interview.
DDP at the press conference: "Are you taking the dictator of Chechnya with you when you're going back?".
If he makes Khamzat cry too I will lose it
I hope DDP calls him out for being a pathetic dog. That should easily get him emotional 😂
Bruh😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 top comment
That’s why I’m a fan of DDP he brings the fight to you no matter what
Ddp spitting fax
Countryside vs Mountainside let's go👏🏼
He wants all the smoke I love ddp his such a character such a modern day warrior☝🏻
Brett's camera resolution is (finally) actually better than the fighter's cam! First time I think I've seen such a thing!
DDP don't scared from anybody he is the king 👑 of UFC
I see DDP beating Khamzat
🤣
Nobody beats khamzat atm. hes too good
Sike. 🤣
You see before Robert beating khamzat?
@ufc-df3uy Exactly they were saying Rob would KO Khamzat 😂😂😂
"I'll fight him in his hometown" true Champion
That is the complete opposite of what Strickland said, he said he won't fight in South-Africa, he wants to fight in Vegas where he lives. lol
We Love Dricus great respect for what he has achieved in the sport!
We have been warning people about DDP for years. Some fans have woken up to the fact of how good he is and some are still delusional. DDP is beating Khamzat. I have no doubt about it. Keep them coming. Like always, I will respond after Dricus beats his opponent. That is always how it goes down.
Khamzat vs DDP. Sean can wait.
Khamzat vs. DDP is 100% the fight to make.
5:29 “when someone is coming to fight you like Khamzat does, you go out and you fight him. If he comes to wrestle you, you wrestle him back. If you just defend there’s not a scenario where he’s threatened at all”. Oooo We gonna get a banger! 💪
DDP would submit Khamzat. Khamzat is open to submissions and DDP has about a 50% sub rate for all of his fights. He has a killer guillotine and other chokes that will be a big counter threat to Khamzat's wrestling offense. He has an extremely powerful squeeze.
Exactly. If he had to sprawl and get that forearm under the chin, it's a wrap.
I expect a dog fight once Khamzat can’t get control on DDP. That’s where the real dog in DDP will overpower him 😂 he better pray to his beloved leader Kadyrov for mercy because it’s going to get brutal
Congrats on rendering a 1080p video ESPN.
Huge respect to ddp he's not like merab who is ducking
Good sensible comments from DDP. He represents us proudly.
If Whittaker chin holds up. Totally different fight
That means a lot ... So confident 🔥
Belal fighting Shavkat and now Ddp potentially fighting khamzat 2025 about to be filled with bangers
Ive not seen anyone stopping Khamzat. DDP always surprises me. Banger.
DDP looks like he just came back from grandma
Cookies and every thing
Ddp eating good
Hgh bloat
What can we say? SA has some of the best food and meat in the world, it’s why we have to train so hard 😂😂
Your face doesn't bloat silly banana, only your belly
Type of guy you wanna hang around. Pure class.
Yes DDP vs Khamzat!! LET'S GO!!!
finally it only took someone like ddp to break down the fight correctly
That’s fight we want no one wants to see Sean do Philly shell for 25 minutes and throw jabs
Cant wait for UFC to come to South Africa. DDP will show them again what it means to be an African champion
I really love DPP now. Hated on him and he grew on me. He definitely deserves respect. To fight Poatan in South Africa for a double champ status would be so crazy. And then if Alex does what he does and knocks him out in front of his people Round One, that would be pretty sad.
We won't be sad if that happens, Alex has a lot more experience than DDP, it would be sad if he lost to someone else though, like Costa.
@ I don’t think he would lose to costa and they wouldn’t make that fight. DPP is reigning and defending champion. I don’t see costa ever getting that chance again. Him moving up makes sense, and who else is gonna beat Poatan at 205? Definitely not the crouch sniffing goat humper.
Put down the lotion
@@ruanniemann1678 I’m not Chinese dude. Why would you call me a China man?
This guy has won me over. Mad respect for you.
THIS WILL BE A GOOD FIGHT ... DDP IS A TOUGH SOUTH AFRICAN ...
This interview turned me into a real fan.
Dricus the type of guy to survive a rear naked choke, end up in full mount and tko Khamzat with elbows
He’s a big very strong guy, to even get control of his back has yet to happen 😂 they still don’t know what we breed here in South Africa
@@tyl3rb-fw6ee They have no clue.
Respect to DDP for not ducking and asking for an invitation to his own funeral
Yeah thats not going happen. Khamzat will get his face changed yet again.
@ Lol, you’re joking right? DDP will get finished in 2 rounds
@@jiin_5928 Nope.
Khamzat vs DDP is a PPV i would buy, any other matchup, i’m watching for free.
If Dricus beats Strickland again and derails the Chimaev hype train, he deserves to move up to Light Heavyweight.
DDP beats both of them he goes down as the MW goat. Nobody else worthy in that division. Maybe they move in Ian Garry just so that DDP can do the fans one more favour
Strickland vs DDP = 😴 Khamzat vs DDP = 🔥 It's what the fans want
Asking for khamzat after that performance is exactly why DDP is the man
he says Ank Rakic was boring and Ank couldnt finish him but Jiri could, as if Rakic wasnt PTSD from the Jiri fight and fighting completely different, running on the back foot the whole time
Always the first to hate on Pereira and your mom always the first to lick the chama I spread on her face.
Jiri right now is not to be mentioned when it comes to title contentions please
Ank just showed he doesn’t present finishing ability on the feet to put Rajic away despite rocking him. Pereira won’t even give him the light of day to get an advantage on the feet. He better channel his inner Khabib because he will get knocked out quickly trying to stand with Poatan
Dricus is such a great champ. 185 needed him.
Willing to fight anyone, doesn't back down from the scary guys. Well spoken, intelligent analysis, humble and straight forward. Admits when guys are a danger to him.
The only thing that he doesn't do is admit that Sean almost beat him and therefore deserves a rematch. I am a DDP fan, but honestly Sean has come closest to beating DDP so he does deserve the next shot.
Otherwise, I agree with DDP
Whittaker is my guy but now, DDS has earned my respect as the deserving MW champ. I believe he will not only beat Khamzat but finish him to elevate his stature even higher. Like the Highlander in the movie, the South African warrior, will take Borz' soul when he sends him to the Shadow Realm. And in comparison with Ilia, DDS' expression of confidence doesn't require the gimmickry and aping the Notorious like what Topuria does.
Next bandwagon, huh? Who will be after DPP gets smoked?
I doubt that but I respect your opinion, it’s a fighting game so anything can happen, we got shocked, excited, and sad numerous times because that’s how the game works and that’s why we are addicted to the sports.
