Being South African myself, it’s refreshing to see an interview by you guys with Dricus, as opposed to the usual US/Candian podcasters. They can’t relate on a Rugby/Cricket level. That part of the conversation was a laugh.

[@dwolmarans2463]

27min When Dricus said he has a lot of improvements that he can make, I just got a rush of excitement. He's already a very good fighter and he's still evolving.

[@urban_legend.]

Dricus is a Springbok, he has his Springbok colours, just one traveling the world kicking the shit out of people.

As an Aussie I’ll be cheering for DDP at ufc 305. Israel dogbender adesanya is finished 😂

[@Rivalry.79]

Sounds like a top bloke,great interview lads.

[@duanetheron]

Man I can't wait for this fight Dricus is a unit and I think Adesanya is underestimating him

[@TheGSBslideSHOW]

I don't think any fighters in the UFC underestimate each other to be honest ... Each has their own style in the media but when it comes to getting in the Octagon and there's potential for life n death situations it's dead serious 🤙 my thoughts anyway

[@GuerillaCatty73]

Adesanya has peaked, everything brilliant is behind him. DDP getting in those early blows.

[@bigben42]

I think Dricus will get in those early blows and then Izzy will peak all over his face

[@JH101-01]

I agree Robert vs Sean will be one for the books ..

[@cornedefouw5049]

[@gunnar4554]

Great questions for real

[@ItsameAlex]

Anyway can't wait for Dricus to put on a show in August

[@twocats2543]

Like him or not, DDP is a respectable champion. Carrying the belt is important to him and he’s a good representative for the sport. He gets this first defense done but I think Rob eventually gets the belt back.

[@danielcillie1856]

Ffs man its sad to see Ausie rugby where its at. If your own supporters act like this its bad. You should really take a page out of the book of the springbok approach its all about pride/patriotism and the nation. They gonna need to find a coach who taps into the emtion of the players. Side note, I feel like the rugby went downhill after you banned your best player Israel Folau.

[@FreakZMMA]

"Me and Cameron Saaiman are the real Africans that are white and have opportunities in South Africa to even train any combat sports, we are better than Adesanya, Ngannou and Usman"

[@Slow_burna]

typical dricus ... all talk

[@ItsameAlex]

except he shows what he talks every time he fightd

[@martintheron1386]

Why not Google DDPs entire fighting career?

[@wesseloosthuizen3099]

Yeah he said they wouldn't let him do his interpretive dance which he prepaid beforehand. Wtf you mean he is all talk? Mans record backs up everything he says.

[@Jamesjudes]

go tell that to him in person 😂

[@anzafouche4263]

Ain't you a fairy ? He talks and he wins at least

[@dbo4506]

DDP is such a flop of a bloke. I just can’t get around him. Sitting there with his mangled face after Strickland ran an absolute train on him “wait… are you saying some people think I didn’t win”. 🤨

[@martinkeller4824]

You really are delusional. Dont let your bias for certain fighters cloud your judgement. Only flop here is your mental capability.

[@danielgonzalez-yp7hi]

I thought Strickland won but honestly not a robbery to give it to Dricus, very close fight, lots of damage on both sides.

Come to safrica and stay locked in your hotel scared, u people have lots to say but are such little cowards yourself
