Just like when Sean completely outclassed him and he begged Sean not to say anything bad about him after. We all know how he would’ve acted had he beat Sean.
Same thing with Sean. Izzy would have hunped his unconscious body and lifted his leg like a dog pissing on him if he won lol. All anyone needs to do is look at his last win where he showed he held a grudge against a literal child for half a decade.

Very happy for this man. Well done DDP! Held himself nicely after the victory and showed respect. Just imagine if the tables had turned other way around. The shear amount of trash talk we would have to listen to.
What a breath of fresh air from the mentality Izzy had when he defended the belt. When Dricus defends, he fights like he’s a contender trying to with the belt all over again. When Izzy defends he acts like it’s the contender’s job to go and take it from him, and if they don’t, he’ll cruise to decision with leg kicks.
@spectazular7489 ddp was talking about how the crowd was booing before the fight compared to after then he said that bskly saying that only south Africans in the crowd started to cheer making the rest do so
Well spoken and very respectful to others in the sport. I specifically loved how he referred to giving others in South Africa that wants to pursue UFC and MMA a hope. Another South African champ on the world map 🎉
Love his mentality of "not defending the belt", he's there to win his own belt, elite mentality and I think if he keeps growing in confidence he'll be a force in this division for years, what a fight
While everyone is hating on izzy, he was still the most active MW champion, 13 knockdowns and knocked costa whittaker and brunson out, knocked down gastelum 55x and went to war with him and got his mw belt in 2 years and ran through the division Revived Pereira and got his belt taken, and then knocked him out, the ONLY fighter to knock pereira out who is now the most feared ufc fighter right now The one fighter who been in izzys head more than half a decade Pereira has more respect for izzy than for his casual mma fans because he knows how these fans are who would never step a foot in the ring Izzy will always be the MW goat after anderson silva. He made a career 99% percent of the human race wouldt do 75-5 in kickboxing 23-4 in mma and never got knocked out While you all are hating on him, life goes on and hes still richer and more successfull than the very start of yalls bloodline and recent family combined🗣 ISREAL ADESANYA THE LAST STYLEBENDER🐐💯

where is the Beannie nation,MMA guru must be screaming his lungs out😅😅🇿🇦Mzansi ur Boi did it
Guru was on death's door, wrapped in the South Africa flag, celebrating Dricus's win.
He did, it was magnificent. Even with his voice almost gone 😂
what a genuine, warrior of a gentleman . Proud to be a South African
Dricus vs Yoel would’ve been a banger man☹️
Imagine using a time machine to bring 2016 Romero to fight for the title.
@@eduardowood8502be right back
Go sleep n gonna happen just in your dream 😂😂. Come on Man, don't be imagined 4 something impossible hahaha
Come on why Yoel
Such a class act!! Real gentleman and warrior
Very happy for this man. Well done DDP! Held himself nicely after the victory and showed respect. Just imagine if the tables had turned other way around. The shear amount of trash talk we would have to listen to.
What a breath of fresh air from the mentality Izzy had when he defended the belt.
When Dricus defends, he fights like he’s a contender trying to with the belt all over again.
When Izzy defends he acts like it’s the contender’s job to go and take it from him, and if they don’t, he’ll cruise to decision with leg kicks.
100%
100% humility > arrogance
22:29 i love the fact he just calls him out without hesitation
What did the reporter say? I Couldn't get it.
@spectazular7489 ddp was talking about how the crowd was booing before the fight compared to after then he said that bskly saying that only south Africans in the crowd started to cheer making the rest do so
16:29 look at how he reacts when he takes the sip of monster😂😂😂
lol wonder why
Well done, Dricus!!!! Love your narrative about being the residing SA champ!!!
16:27 Eben Etzebeth spiked DDP’s Monster can with Brandy 😂😂😂 DDP’s reaction 🙌
DDP has just earned a fan 👏🏾
Congratulations U are a Genuine man and a Great Champion
Adesanya did the max hollway thing, pointing to the ground.
Insted if standing and fighting he tries to run away, what a rat.
He was pointing to his foot, implying he was tripped. Which did happen. But he also ate a massive left moments before that and was definitely rocked.
Well spoken and very respectful to others in the sport. I specifically loved how he referred to giving others in South Africa that wants to pursue UFC and MMA a hope. Another South African champ on the world map 🎉
Adesanya is a skilled fighter. DDP is a warrior. If you don't know the difference you're still a kid or an NPC.
They are both warriors. Dumb comment
@@gordonschiff3621 NPC or millennial?
@@gordonschiff3621 negative buddy, they aren’t BOTH warriors. DDP is a warrior while Izzy is literally a fighter/clown…….
@@1OnlyOneOnlyOne1 they’re both the same thing at this point.
@@MelordJenkins 🤣 well said
Love his mentality of "not defending the belt", he's there to win his own belt, elite mentality and I think if he keeps growing in confidence he'll be a force in this division for years, what a fight
This guy gives me GSP vibes 💪
I didn't originally want to appreciate you discussing but you definitely have my respect now, congratulations man
While everyone is hating on izzy, he was still the most active MW champion, 13 knockdowns and knocked costa whittaker and brunson out, knocked down gastelum 55x and went to war with him and got his mw belt in 2 years and ran through the division
Revived Pereira and got his belt taken, and then knocked him out, the ONLY fighter to knock pereira out who is now the most feared ufc fighter right now The one fighter who been in izzys head more than half a decade
Pereira has more respect for izzy than for his casual mma fans because he knows how these fans are who would never step a foot in the ring
Izzy will always be the MW goat after anderson silva. He made a career 99% percent of the human race wouldt do
75-5 in kickboxing
23-4 in mma and never got knocked out
While you all are hating on him, life goes on and hes still richer and more successfull than the very start of yalls bloodline and recent family combined🗣
ISREAL ADESANYA
THE LAST STYLEBENDER🐐💯
tl;dr
A champ and a gentleman. Finally!
Classy champ and well spoken
LOVE YOU DDP! From America.
When he said South Africa is different he meant it😂😂😂🇿🇦🇿🇦
Very true. Strickland cannot come here and be disrespectful... DDP has respectfully advised and warned him.
DDP is trash talking, entertaining but with respect...
