If Rob beats Chimaev, he's earned it. That'll be 3 Ws since his L. What more can u ask from the guy?

Everyone is going on about Rob having no chin like he got slept, but Dricus stunned Rob with a jab that Rob blitzedd into, then Dricus got Rob to lunge down with one knee after loading him up with body-punches. Afted that Dricus threw several big punches at Rob’s head until the referee stopped the fight. Rob still looked up afterwards and was very awake. Rob got wobbled and he allowed Dricus to swarm him, which is something he could avoid with very little adjustment going into their rematch. DDP might have the chance to actually sleep him this time.

Not buying this. Robert is not fighting in February after Chimaev, after three back to back camps in 9 months he will need time to heal up and get the right kind of prep for DDP. Also the UFC has announced its Sean next, and DDP is not the kind of champ they will let choose his fights. Whittaker deserves it the most but the UFC never does him any favours, he will be fighting after Strickland gets the rematch.

The UFC hasn't announced anything. All these "title eliminator" names and "next in line" mean nothing until a fight is booked.

lol let's let them have their fun. somebody should've warned DDP that being a champ is not easy and there are other sharks in the pool with you all waiting to get a piece. No use hiding behind the guys you already beat or fighters that are easier to win. It's called the UFC and I want to see any champ as being the best and fighting the best to keep his title. DDP has been a bit of a letdown already trying to duck Khamzat and telling Poatan not to come down to MW instead DDP said he will meet him at LHW which already tells me he is shitting his pants looking at the competition coming his weigh. You got the gold and now he has to protect it because they will be coming for it.

[@lourenzjansenvanvuuren5411]

​@@KibatheMalinoishe's not ducking khumshot. Khumshot hasn't even fought a ranked fighter at mw. How the fuck can he then just get a title fight?

Also, fighting Alex at 205 makes it MORE DIFFICULT for DDP - and they offered to go up, choosing the difficult fight. How's that ducking? I hate it when casuals spit their idiotic takes like they even know what the fuxk their talking about.

[@KibatheMalinois]

@@lourenzjansenvanvuuren5411 you know I'm right otherwise he'd accept Alex Pereira's challenge for the title defence. Khamzat is undefeated and DDP knows he stands no chance against him so he's banking on Whitaker because he knows he is the easier fight between the two of them. Let's hope they give them a fight without the title on the line then because Khamzat doesn't really care about the title. Dana pays him big money for his fights and Khamzat knows he is stronger than most guys in the division. Coming from a place like Chechnya and getting paid something like $3m per fight is better than the title for him. Get your head out your ass for a second and really think about it. The Muslim Sambo fighters from Russia are elite level unlike your little boy. He will be humbled in the face of Khamzat, make no mistake about that. Dana and Joe Rogan both had Strickland winning that last fight and we all know that the Canadians are into the whole gay thing so that's why the judges gave DDP the decision because he fits the narrative and Strickland does not. Lastly, Dana is the fight promoter and currently he will make fights where there is more money to be made in PPV sales and which will be more exciting to see so DDP really doesn't have much say in the matter no matter how badly he wants to hold on to that title because even if it's not Khamzat, there are bigger and stronger boys coming for him boetie. Make no mistake about that. When all is said and done, oom Morne will be adjusting his jockey and kissing him on the lips just to console him 😂

[@KibatheMalinois]

@@SonOfMartylewis ​ ​ Sean couldn't handle Khamzat in sparring so how do you expect DDP to perform? and again the Srickland/DDP was a very close fight with differing opinions, DDP took a lot of damage from Strickland so Khamzat will be a much more difficult fight for him. Had it not been Canada and if politics, softness and in a country pandering to a narrative that opposes Strickland's direct talk, it's no surprise the judges were not in favor of Strickland for the decision. I have already mentioned that both Dana and Joe Rogan both had the fight for Strickland so my opinion on the matter aligns with theirs along with many others. Ducking means that if somebody calls you out, you accept the challenge without any excuse. He is MW champion so if Poatan wants to come down in weight to meet him then saying I won't fight him as champion of the MW division but I'd rather move up in weight to meet him is essentially ducking a fight. In the words of the great and undisputed Khabib, 'If King Kong can make weight, then let him come.' That's a champions mentality. Not and I quote from DDP, ' I will take fights that make sense to me.' 'I will meet him LHW.' Blah, Blah that's all BS excuses from someone that's scared to lose and take only fights that he can win. Another prime example is that he wants to fight Whitaker again because he knows he can beat him. That's just sad and not fitting for a champion. Khamzat was right about him, we don't need people like "that" as champions. What was wrong with Alex's performance today? he beat Khalil Rountree but he did underestimate Rountree especially in the first round. Roundtree's performance was extremely impressive but he still lost but he gave it his all in those first 2 rounds and that's why I believe DDP doesn't think he can handle Alex otherwise he would've taken the challenge at MW. Rountree's cardio was debatable in my opinion because he was exploding and pushing forward on Alex closing the distance and landing some impressive shots especially that kick to the head so it means it took everything he had to keep Alex at bay and it landed but costed him a TKO at the end of the day so not sure what you mean by Alex's performance because Rountree was an exceptional opponent and both fighters gave an amazing spectacle to watch. Edit: I retracted one or two statements that was just trash talk and didn't add weight to my argument.

Good thing this dude has no say in what’s next at all whatsoever. Dana already said Strickland is next. Plus Whittaker has a scheduled bout with Khamzat.

[@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx9656]

jab man going back to the apex

[@theironforce3000]

It's crazy to say Whitaker is next in February, next year, when he still has to fight cumshot In a couple of weeks! Strickland is the next one . If not in December, then in January.

[@lraut86]

Why... Everyone was dissing on Dricus when he couldn't make a 2 month turnaround for Izzy...

[@Trenchwarsoldier-x5v]

Khamzat is a wrestler Rob can make the turnaround easily as Khamzat gasses after R1 in anycase

[@Last_Chance.]

They don't want sean. They know he will whoop dricus this time

[@MrNickD12]

That’s fine. He will always be remembered for losing to strickland and now he’s blatantly ducking him so he will never be in the goat conversation 😢

[@WheelchairRitchie]

Idk the coach also said if chimaev wins then they will rematch Strickland so I guess they slightly ducking Sean but more ducking chimaev? lol idk

[@NewDarkKnight]

Bootlickington level joke 😂

[@byr0nuser]

LoL. With those pillow fist jabs? Sean doesn't want to come to SA.

[@P-V-H]

Sean gets KO’d in the rematch

[@GK-gr2mx]

He ducking Sean , kissing clowns

[@lourenzjansenvanvuuren5411]

Cry more. Maybe even on a podcast.

[@RiloXRi]

Except you don’t make the rules, the UFC does. Also ducking the dude that half the people thought you lost too isn’t good move. I

[@katlego8539]

Tell Sean to fight another contender and earn his stripes 🥱

[@Bogey_king]

He literally said they don’t choose so please listen properly before getting butt hurt

[@bmwbavaria3991]

Doesnt make any sense, how ddp gonna fight Rob if Rob gets dismantled by Khamzat 😮

[@Bogey_king]

Watch the interview. All your answers are there

[@ezradaiquiri11311]

This further proves how badly sean beat ddp. Ddp got the 4th round and that's it! Quit ducking.

[@Bogey_king]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@spanspeksquarepants]

Casual take.

[@ezradaiquiri11311]

@@spanspeksquarepants is it a casual take to say the guy you knocked out in 2 rounds deserves the title shot more than the guy you went to a controversial 5 round decision with? Sean also beat adesanya easily, which Whittaker couldn't do. And sean was snowboarding the next day after beating ddp so bad that he had to crawl to the bathroom from his bed for a week. Thank you for your reply casual 🫵😂

[@spanspeksquarepants]

@@ezradaiquiri11311 casuals think a habitual split decision merchant like Sean(6 split decisions) whilst constantly retreating and only using a jab & a cross won an mma fight. The judges, Mighty Mouse, Dominic Cruz, The Weasel, Sean O'Malley, Cormier, Bisping etc etc etc even Sean directly after the fight, all had DDP winning. Casuals think a jab > than body, leg & head kicks. Straights, crosses & hooks, trips, doubles, singles takedowns , suplexes... nevermind the 2 minutes of control time. Only one persons head was bloodied in the fight meaning more damage. Hope you've learned something.

[@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx9656]

npc spotted

[@hotsh20t74]

Dricus coach calling someone standup suspect is funny

[@hulkkrogan420]

Yawn... Nope DDP will face Sean or get stripped for a Sean vs Izzy interim belt.

[@hulkkrogan420]

Or ironically a Sean vs Whitaker title bout

[@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx9656]

sean will never touch gold again

[@royster7170]

Still hoping to fight someone he already beat, and dodging Strickland.

[@ShaunOff93]

Old mate keeps contradicting himself but i like the way he yarns tho classic saffa

[@rayhanatalferdaws7363]

Hearing him talk like that and stutter hurts the ears but Chimaev will win and fight the African and win the title 🤫🐺

[@limpelephant1]

This is dumb and if true DDP is dodging the harder fight because he knows he didn't beat strickland and he knows he can steamroll Bobby again.

[@katlego8539]

No not true Dricus respects contenders who put in the work. Sean has to beat someone else and he will get the title shot

[@rayhanatalferdaws7363]

The eccentric trainer doesn't want to see Strickland or Chimaev fight the African champion because he knows he will lose because he lost to Strickland we all saw that
