Cant understand why anyone would boo this man! He is so passionate about this sport! Always humble, honest and respectful. Well done DDP 🇿🇦
He supports genocide
People hate to see a calm, collected, humble, white man thrive. Especially after he dethroned the most ignorant, fake “african” in izzy
Because he defended the belt once and thinks he the best on the planet
@@Apufc66 about to have a better resume than adesanye
@@Apufc66 2nd title defense now
If you notice he had a different beer in almost every post interview lol
yeah this is the 3rd different one
@@rishansoogreem8710😂 how do you guys notice such small details
@thedigitalawakening887 I always watch all the post fight interviews from the various channels. On the mainevent channel the lights went off halfway through the interview...he finished the can of beer before and had a bottle of beer when the lights were switched on. And then in this espn interview he has a cup of beer.
Ja, they miss nothing😮😂😂😂@@thedigitalawakening887

An ambassador of the sport...

Lol guy is a dishonest fraud
@@Barberx8 🤡
Love how she tried to throw shade at Strickland with that 1st question but DDP handled that well 🔥
100% best MW RN. Cant wait to see him vs Khamzat
"Its to the death" - Sean Stickland. His opponent is standing there with a beer in a jerry cup like hes at a frat party lol

He never said who's dying

The guy has got class
What a great Guy, all the best Dricus from Ireland, your a great ambassador for MMA
Adesanya fan here...who is also now a strong DDP fan. Gotta give this man his props.
Respect. Izzy is 2nd only to Silva as the MW goat
Nothing but respect from DDP, I dont wantt o ever hear ppl boo this guy again.
Than maybe he shouldn't trash talk alot.
Baie geluk Dricus, jy het mooi baklei in die hok vandag
I'm so happy for Dricus and you deserve all the respect and credit in the world brother. GOAT in the making right there 👊🏻💥🇿🇦
heere we go with the goat word 😂
new legendary fighter unlocked: Tipsy Dricus
Dricus du Plessis ♥️ 🇿🇦
Been a fan of Dricus since the Brunson fight. But after shutting the mouths of both Izzy and Strickland I have well and truly drunk the Stillknocks cool-aid
He knocked tf out of Whittaker, like who does that (besides izzy lol)
Strickland whined and whined for a rematch... He got it and still got beat. Step aside now.
Time for Khamzat
Salute My Brother Thank you !!! Make us feel proud to be South Africans
Hulle weet nog steeds nie wat ons weet nie! 🇿🇦
zuid afrikaans klinkt alsof een kleuter nederlands probeert te spreken
@@leroywilliams5237 nope now Strickland nose what we nose 😆
DDP is a cool dude. Had every opportunity to kick Sean while Sean was down but took the high road. Respect. DDP against Chimaev will be extremely interesting. Not sure that DDP can get out of the 1st round but if he does he'll have an excellent chance to slay that boogeyman and thereby enter the 185 GOAT chat.
I love Sean Strickland a lot and ddp won the fight dpp is the best middleweight on the planet right now, with his raw furious athleticism and his insane mentality.Congrats brother.
The way he breathes from the very first round it always seems like he is gassed out but then he goes and put phenomenal performances up until the end of every fight!
Strickland bots switching to Khamzat bots rn
It's so tiresome and they just don't learn 🤣
Two totally different fan groups. Khamzat fans doesnt even like Strickland
Strickland only had white Americans as fans😂😂😂
Nah Strickland fans would never stoop so low and support a guy like Khamzat
Exactly, they flip so quickly
The Flyest Dutchman
'Du Plessis' is a French name
Ok I hate correcting this, but it’s Frankish as he is protestant. The historical term in huggenhot
@@Trenchwarsoldier-x5v So he's Irish?
Start calling him a Rockspider or a Bonehead from a Soutpiel
@@markwillies7666 he's South African, Afrikaaner. No one sits here calling Sean Strickland English or w.e his ancestors come from.
This guy is soooo classy...wow! ❤
I know for a fact DDP is finishing Khamzat within 3. People have no idea😂😂
Haha unstoppable force vs Immovable object basically
Lol i don't think so😂
Lol sure, you mean the guy who could not finish strickland? Chimaev will make it look easy.
It all comes down to the first round, if dricus survives the first he most likely finishes khamzat
Couldn’t finish Sean in two fights lmao this should be interesting
This was the performance he needed to become a legitimate champion in the eyes of the MMA community. Well done champ
That left footed head kick is vicious.
Geluk Dricus. Mooi gedoen 👊🏻
is that south Afrikaans? in dutch we say mooi gedaan, very simar
@@kevinlewis8162 Just afrikaans. Derivitive of Dutch. Same same. Veels geluk
@@kevinlewis8162 yes , ja wel gedaan.
Baie dieselfde. @@kevinlewis8162
Ons kan egte duitsers verstaan, so min of meer
The moment he knocked Whittaker of the top, I knew this man was a real deal.
Whittaker, without doubt has been one of the toughest MW contenders for a long time and been the gatekeeper of the division when Adesanya held the '85 title, and then to bring him down, and defeat Sean twice, and Adesanya, he's really been a tough nut in the UFC.
Khamzat is definitely the next fight for sure.
The Khamzat bandwagon rolling into to town soon.
You mean all the Saturn worshippers
Middleweight division is stacked right now. De Ridder, Robocop, Khamzat, Ciao Borralho, Bo Nickel, Joe Pyfer, Anthony Hernandez, Nassourdine Imavov, MVP, Alex possibly dropping back down, I Still think Ikram and Kopylov are still dangerous. Lots of people could take it from Dricis.
Factsss 😂😂😂all Strickland fans gone be khamzat fans too now
I went from being a Strickland fan to DDP fan as well after that a$$ whopping last night!!! Congrats to DDP he is a Bad Man!!!
That's what everybody does.
Typical casual jumping ship , you know you can be a fan of more than one person?
Your the type that your favorite nfl team is whoever won the superbowl last 😂
@@PzShockzMaybe but also I’m seeing that a lot of fans are starting to see past his personality and antics and understand the criticism that some of us have always had for Strickland; that for all his crazy talk his style is actually pretty boring.
I don’t think there’s any harm in having a realization and then changing your opinion on an issue because of it.
@PzShockz I said fan bro I still a Strickland fan... And bro my Birds bleed green through my veins
Respect to Dricus ! A warrior of a fighter !
DDP... YOU ARE THE MAN 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
The most exciting MW since, Anderson “The Spider” Silva! 💯
Yessir! The Spider is still The IFC MW GOAT, though.
um NO
The people saying Khamzat smokes him make me laugh. Saying guys rooting for Strickland and Izzy.
The Khamzat bots will come like a tsunami and then fall completely silent after Dricus beats him. The usual.
I really like ddp and I hope the best for him but if you’re not coping chimaev is the next big revolution we have. Can’t really see ddp surviving him
Khamzat fans doesnt even like Strickland
@@pieterlindeque7798 Ok Dricus bot
izzy was older and strickland was always meh
My respects to this man
DDP just said the world needs to show Sean the respect he deserves, fans should take notes from a man with such class. These casual UFC fans are the worst DDP is the man and 100% the greatest middle weight right now can’t wait for him vs Khamzat
casuals also think that every champ that holds the belt is the best at the moment 🙂
All the tweets that make sense are his agents. 😂😅😂.
He's so funny
Why do people continue to sleep on DDP?😭
idk either. he's walking through the division. 😂
Great champion and an awesome human being! Congrats Champ!!
Dricus brought the fight and dominated just like I thought Strickland fans are still silent
I’m deff not silent , DDP the man
@JonathanGonzalez-jz4td Indeed
Strickland fans switching to become Khamzat fans 😂
They will support DDP and not guys like Belal or Khamzat, trust me
😂😂😂😂🤣💯
Well he is 33-0 as an amateur kickboxer, which means he can be a more 'clean' and measured striker if he wants..we saw that, dricus vs khamzat is a 50/50 fight
Dude smoked up DeSean with ease
Love you Dricus! Well done boeta!!!
I love how he can tell whether a tweet was actually written by Chimaev or his manager based on the syntax, lmao.
Yep, sean mus be tough to take that beating and still keep coming
Definitely a few beers deep at this point 😂
DDP is the boss. Hope he gets some middleweight records
🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 go Dricus!
Can’t stand Khamzat, but he’s gonna get it done.
How ? Lol. With 1 round cardio ? Drikas control Rob better than Khamzat did until he got the.lucky submission
@@jericho-tube You don't get lucky submissions. Khamzat literally did not let him up, when Rob tried to post khamzat just got him back down.
@yxle4070 How it is not a lucky sub ? Rob already said that he is missing teeth in his lower jaw from the very beginning and his lower jaw is very weak and it also got hurt during Drikas fight so pressure dislocate his teeth. Khamzat also hold Usman down in the first round and in this process exhausted all of his energy and was basically a sitting duck in next two rounds .

People throw the word goat around to much. But i do agree if ddp keeps doing what hes doing hes headed in that direction
Jy het hom gebliksem, lekker pappie! Geniet ‘n paar biere, jy verdien dit
Goat
Stop
@@artemia79can he defend the belt 8 more times? Yes, maybe. Until then, stop.
@@artemia79 If DDP beats Khamzat he will leapfrog Izzy on the middleweight GOAT list
I did not like Dricus at all when I first saw him. I thought he was a cocky douche bag. I’m so happy I was wrong he is a stand up human being 🙏🏻 also his cardio is insane!
Plessis gave Strickland the striking battle he wanted and made him lose all 5 rounds. He has had a fun title reign but Strickland gets all the credit for making it boring.
Who knew Dricus's dog Achilles can put more of a sentence together than Khamzat.
Khamzat will destroy your champ lmao be real with urself
Bozo
I'll come back to this comment when dricus sleeps your boi🤭🇿🇦@@zabi
He dominated Sean
Dana up Strickland ass
When Khazmat get on his azz we'll see.
DDP has no ground game. Rear naked choke on a striker puffs up DDP'S ego. The commenter even says Sean needs to strike to set up the takedown. DDP got lucky again. Keep puffing up your ego. 😂
@@MA-gv3wgthat’s some serious coping kid
@@MA-gv3wgIf Adesanya is “just a striker”, why has nobody submitted him before DDP?
@@MA-gv3wg I take it you haven't seen him defeat a whole Gracie team in grappling, right after eachother
Cry boy cry
DDP improved but Strickland was the same as the last fight, but DDPp never rocked him with his shot,DDP has thrown at least 3 knockoutsblowsw nothing happened , only that nose shot (you know how it feels like)
I don't remember anyone sending Anderson Silva to the Mars
Long live the King.
He's already showing he has Chimaev's measure.
And it sounds like his relationship is rock solid and a genuine love. DDP's got it all!
Hes good but definitely not the greatest. Chimaev made whittaker look like an absolute amateur 😅 and im quite sure he will do the same with ddp. Hes a great kickboxer but this is mma
What he proved in this fight, he’s got the heart of a warrior. Strickland didn’t look like he left everything in their. He looked relaxed, like he was just playing around. Ddp looked like he was fighting for his life
ddp isn't really even a kickboxer to be honest, he is literally the worst technical fighter that keeps winning
Drie Kiss? That's Vasti's job!!!!😂
I feel like Khamzat has been waiting in the wings for way too long. Most guys would have been given 2 title shots by now. I love DDP but there are still levels.
What ? Levels against Gilbert Burns ? A guy who fights once a year , why would he get two title shot by now ? These casuals are insane
@jericho-tube he's unbeaten you putz!!! Gilbert Burns was a fight but not even close. Khamzat is the next middleweight champ, no questions asked.
Khamzat barely beat the corpse of Usman who didn't even have a camp and made Rob tap because his teeth broke because of an injury Rob said he got from DDP in the first place. DDP resume is mikes above Khamzat right now and I bet it stays that way.
@@artemia79I don't believe you. Just being honest.
@@pieterlindeque7798 I appreciate your honesty. I see it the other way though. Here's hoping they make that fight happen 🙂
seeing fakeland loss was so satisfying
Eddie wineland is not fake
Khamzat's coming Bro!
Khamza will be exposed that fake fighter can't go still 5th round lol
DDP will smesh that hype train worst than Merab smeshed Khabib's brother
Merab did zero damage though. Only damage was a broken hand to his opponent. This comment can be true but it would still be Khamzat who would win lmao
@notoftentold4076 khazmat doesn't deserve that shot. Rob is way past his prime. Beating Rob is not impressive at all
@@notoftentold4076he won
@@notoftentold4076 Can Hazmat even make weight? Mr. Hazmat suit is a biological scale disaster weighting to happen 😂
Still not convinced by DDP
Stay doubting! Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie! 🇿🇦
Beat the best of the best in his division, he isn't there to convince you, his record speaks for himself😂
Best you tell mommy
Honest question: What else can convince you?
Strickland has the dumbest fans in the world world.
Stud 🇺🇸
He ain’t from the us😂😂
Pump the brakes Pump the brakes Mate you have to slay the wolf 1st
Who win DDP vs khamzat ?
Khamzat handles him easily
@ryanb9305 i believe s
I'm rooting for DDP but khamzat's grappling and submissions are superb. I think Khamzat will win
@Prepared5057 will be tough fight but khamzat will win
If DDP can survive Round 1, he’ll handle Khamzat quite easily thereafter
You didnt prove that by beating a guy you already beat. You need to beat Khamzat.
Got the belt so he is, keep crying bro 😢
Beat Izzy and beat Sean twice. Hush now.
Belal, is going down, chimaev, is gonna be a problem
Khamzat is yanking that belt off his shoulder in 6 months or less.
We shall see
Next fight will be huge though. Khamzat is no joke. I'd call DDP one of the greats if he takes out Khamzat.
Put him Makachev
Back to the prelims strickland
Back to Mexico, Mexicans.
Khamzat has no cardio and nearly lost to Burns and Usman. DDP will gas him.
You know fights
tbf ddp grappling is not as good as burns and usman
sean got dealt with this fight ngl and i had money on sean bc he was the underdog 😭
Dricus is a better kicker then Izzy imo
Dricus would dog walk khumshot mark my words
Maybe. But Khazmat has been improving & getting conditioning in order.
But he will have to stay 100% healthy (something he has a lot of trouble with).
He may be the champ but its way too soon for him to start dubbing himself the greatest Middleweight. We already know he's got Strickland's number but now let's see what he's really got against opponents who aren't Strickland.
he beat izzy and rob too tbf, he's gonna start having a strong case clearing out khamzat and imanov.
But ddp will not beat khamzat is the problem
@MartyFromDagestan If he can beat Khamzat than that would truly silence all the doubters. Du Plessis has a very weird awkward style that consistently frustrates & baffles his opponents while Khamzat has thus far steamrolled everyone he's faced-off against in The UFC. It will be a pretty compelling fight between those two if Dana can make it happen.
4:50
1 title defence
Iam the Goat
Khamzat needs to fight imavov
khamzat will fight imanov after khamzat beats ddp and fights imanov as his first title defense
Khamzat smokes him by the first round

Pragtig gese, nou so gegiggel dink 2 druppels pee het uit gekom. 😜

Like he smoked burns right 😂
Sean. The prelims welcome you back with open arms.
He's top 5 in the division he is a main card fighter.
Just a Sloppy George st. Pierre in my opinion.
Jou MA se whap skiet pap
Greatest on EARTH not the "planet" bro
Did she loose a ton of weight ??
I the the title was gonna ssy "of all time" lol not yet. Quite a ways to go..
Best middleweight right now, best ever? No
Hasn't fought anyone worth noting except Rob? What about Gilbert Burns, who almost took his head off? Anyway, I feel bad for DDP, Khamzat is going to take him down and dominate him. He better work on his wrestling A LOT.
You people say that every time and then DDP just keeps winning. He will beat Khamzat just as easily.
@@Nico_Conradie Easily???? LOL come on man. Once the fight gets to the ground, DDP is in serious trouble. DDP has never been tested on the ground, and trust me, Khamzat has the chin to take his shots.
all the respect for this man who is a christen and an animal in the ring
Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie
Khamzat will finnish you
Congrats DDP, but dude went to to talk about his dog when asked about his woman. Yeesh.
Can he clear out the division Twice Like Izzy did? No...Not the greatest. 🤷
He's busy, and cleaned Izzy out too😂
lol no he’s not
