#Dricus du Plessis

[theanticool]

Just got thru watching Du Plessis vs Adesanya.

Someone once said the modern middleweight division is just a bunch of guys who would get railroaded by a prime Chris Weidman and they are 100% correct. I apologize Chris, I called out crazy when you said you had the game to beat Izzy but no you were right. You're just old.

Watching Adesanya, one of the most gifted and skilled strikers, win rounds in a fight despite himself has to be one of the most frustrating things in MMA. He had a lot of great ideas. Attack the body. Punish DDP from range. Punish the blitzes. Use kicks to attack the body. But he just seemingly forgets that he's in an actual fight sometimes? The moving around and resetting. Trying to be this slick counter fighter. Just lead the dance. Take the initiative. Because if you're just going to give a roll of the dice ever few minutes and force yourself to be reactive, you're going to either tire yourself out or allow the other guy to just overwhelm you. And that's what happened here. Adesanya, in that fourth round, got tired and allowed an equally tired DDP to just run after him with big shots as Adesanya's footwork fell apart adn he was forced to turn tail and run. Eventually leading to being put down and submitted.

IS~R A~EL 🇳🇬🇳🇿 ADÉSÀNYÀ !!!

By the end of the year, with a win in his rumored upcoming fight vs Dricus de Plessis, Izzy will make history and officially be on his way to becoming the greatest Middleweight of All Time.

with the Dricus win he'll have:

🏅 12 title fights

🏅 11 PPV headliners

🏅 9 title fight wins

🏅 8+ fight bonuses

🏅 5 title defenses

🏅👊🏾 Most Knockdowns in UFC Middleweight History

🏆🏆🏆 3x Undisputed Middleweight Champion

he is on the verge of Middleweight GOAT status. once he beats Dricus, if he can win the Strickland rematch then turn around and beat the winner of Whittaker vs Chimaev, he'll have tied Silva in title wins at 11. couple that with his résumé, his strength of schedule, his activity, the fact that he did what Silva couldn't by recapturing the title twice, and all of the hype storylines behind a lot of his fights; he could be looking at a pretty strong case for having surpassed Anderson.

Great title fight at the UFC: in the end it turned out like I thought it would going in, but in the middle it was going as I would have expected it to look a year ago.

Sean Strickland, Dricus du Plessis to headline 'UFC 297' in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Fighting out of Anaheim, California, United States, “Tarzan” Sean Strickland, 32, has been the middleweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship since September 10, 2023. He is set to defend the title for the first time. On January 20, 2024, “Stillknocks” Dricus du Plessis, 29, of Hatfield, Pretoria, South Africa will challenge Strickland in the main event of “UFC 297” in Toronto,…

Finding out that Dricus Du Plessis’ trainer literally tases him during practice when he does something “wrong” honestly explains a lot about why he fights like that.

It also goes to show that you don’t actually need to be smart to be a successful MMA coach. You can just do dumb shit and it can still work out for you. This is like only half a step away from Joshua Fabia chasing all those UFC fighters around a locked cage with a knife and calling it “training”.

In a thrilling showdown for the middleweight title at UFC 297, Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis delivered an epic battle that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the final horn. The intensity of the bout left Du Plessis with a nearly swollen-shut eye, and Strickland with blood dripping down his face. Contrary to expectations, the judges were called upon to render a decision in the main event.
