Yes DDP vs Khamzat!! LET'S GO!!!

[@davidolyott5503]

Dricus is such a great champ. 185 needed him. Willing to fight anyone, doesn't back down from the scary guys. Well spoken, intelligent analysis, humble and straight forward. Admits when guys are a danger to him. The only thing that he doesn't do is admit that Sean almost beat him and therefore deserves a rematch. I am a DDP fan, but honestly Sean has come closest to beating DDP so he does deserve the next shot. Otherwise, I agree with DDP

[@conservativefather5446]

I really love DPP now. Hated on him and he grew on me. He definitely deserves respect. To fight Poatan in South Africa for a double champ status would be so crazy. And then if Alex does what he does and knocks him out in front of his people Round One, that would be pretty sad.

[@kooskoekemoer]

We won't be sad if that happens, Alex has a lot more experience than DDP, it would be sad if he lost to someone else though, like Costa.

[@conservativefather5446]

@ I don’t think he would lose to costa and they wouldn’t make that fight. DPP is reigning and defending champion. I don’t see costa ever getting that chance again. Him moving up makes sense, and who else is gonna beat Poatan at 205? Definitely not the crouch sniffing goat humper.

Put down the lotion

[@conservativefather5446]

@@ruanniemann1678 I’m not Chinese dude. Why would you call me a China man?

[@OnAeeir]

finally it only took someone like ddp to break down the fight correctly

[@sfb1219]

THIS WILL BE A GOOD FIGHT ... DDP IS A TOUGH SOUTH AFRICAN ...

[@ranthaman7579]

Asking for khamzat after that performance is exactly why DDP is the man

[@tarzanstrickland]

he says Ank Rakic was boring and Ank couldnt finish him but Jiri could, as if Rakic wasnt PTSD from the Jiri fight and fighting completely different, running on the back foot the whole time

[@bloodbath3658]

Always the first to hate on Pereira and your mom always the first to lick the chama I spread on her face.

[@V77710]

Jiri right now is not to be mentioned when it comes to title contentions please

[@tyl3rb-fw6ee]

Ank just showed he doesn’t present finishing ability on the feet to put Rajic away despite rocking him. Pereira won’t even give him the light of day to get an advantage on the feet. He better channel his inner Khabib because he will get knocked out quickly trying to stand with Poatan

[@BigChooch8787]

If Whittaker chin holds up. Totally different fight

[@careltjie777]

Yes Khamzat got lucky. He should enjoy the good feeling while it lasts, cause it will be short lived

[@ericva7851]

Strickland vs DDP = 😴 Khamzat vs DDP = 🔥 It's what the fans want

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Ive not seen anyone stopping Khamzat. DDP always surprises me. Banger.

[@skinwalker616]

DDP looks like he just came back from grandma

[@Riverajr95]

Cookies and every thing

[@tiess5028]

Ddp eating good

[@Finalmog-m6z]

Hgh bloat

[@georgevanderschyff8422]

What can we say? SA has some of the best food and meat in the world, it’s why we have to train so hard 😂😂

[@V77710]

Your face doesn't bloat silly banana, only your belly

[@craigvandermerwe8760]

Good sensible comments from DDP. He represents us proudly.

[@jayb6170]

Khamzat vs DDP Strickland vs Izzy (rematch)

[@Losprimal]

Wish it could be Strickland vs whitticker but he probably won’t fight again for a long time

[@Don_Jimny_Offroader]

True champion DDP ready to fight who is the next best fighter...no ducking bs...I love this man I am your fan and all the respect to you

[@eddames9839]

Whittaker is my guy but now, DDS has earned my respect as the deserving MW champ. I believe he will not only beat Khamzat but finish him to elevate his stature even higher. Like the Highlander in the movie, the South African warrior, will take Borz' soul when he sends him to the Shadow Realm. And in comparison with Ilia, DDS' expression of confidence doesn't require the gimmickry and aping the Notorious like what Topuria does.

[@smallpox_-_-_-_-_-_]

Next bandwagon, huh? Who will be after DPP gets smoked?

[@TBCLNZ7]

I doubt that but I respect your opinion, it’s a fighting game so anything can happen, we got shocked, excited, and sad numerous times because that’s how the game works and that’s why we are addicted to the sports.

[@Youssef-hd5bl]

respect for ddp, some champs would probably dismiss someone like khamzat and prefer to have a rematch with sean with the excuse that khamzat has only one win at middleweight, like merab does for example with umar.

[@zairem4207]

I love fighters like Islam, Belal and DDP. Championship mentality! They don’t play hide and seek unlike Merab who is mad scared of Umar.. Pereira is scared of Ankalaev.. Jones.. everybody knows who he is ducking lmao

[@cryptonchill6596]

DDP is a such a G! willing to do whatever the fans want. much respect

[@detroitmachine1731]

Khamzat vs DDP next. Not interested in another boring Strickland jab fest.

[@raypen4202]

Wow DDP answere Every Question Perfectly And Humbly. DDP VS KHAMZAT
