@@CrishyWakeUp Well, we're speaking according to current realities which is that Robert has lost to Izzy twice and admits how difficult it is to fight him. Pereira on the other hand hasn't really been tested by a good wrestler/grappler so the likes of Robert, Vettori, etc. would def. have wanted a go at him.

[@Greenhouse444]

I like Jared's analysis of the Rob VS Dricus fight. Dricus will have to be the aggressor if he wants to win and that could be a very dangerous game against someone as skilled and experienced as Rob.

[@kokoyaro]

Rob will be robbed once again if the fight goes to a decision. The UFC wants Izzy vs DDP so bad as their foundation for UFC Africa

[@Greenhouse444]

@@kokoyaro i think the only way Dricus can win is by finishing Rob. Remember Rob is the king of point fighting, he hasn't won a fight in any other way in more 6yrs.

[@kokoyaro]

@@Greenhouse444 True that! And DDP will surprise everyone in this fight

[@Greenhouse444]

@@kokoyaro will be a great fight. Dricus does have scary power and good submissions. But so did Romero and Rob managed to solve that scary as f puzzle.

[@kokoyaro]

@@Greenhouse444 That MMA math doesn't work like that. It all boils down to who's focused enough not to make a mistake, and who has luck on their side. Rob has been on too long a winning streak and has confidence too deeply tatted in his mind to not make a mistake this time. DDP will shock everyone and people wont realize it's not because of his skills or anything but it will because Rob is doing something wrong. Wait and see

I hope Jared Cannonier becomes a champion because he deserves it. He has all of the characteristics of a champion, but he will face tough competition from Adesanya, Whittaker, and Khamzat. Cannonier possesses discipline, technique, physical fitness, mental toughness, a sound strategy, experience, and confidence. He excels at punching and kicking power, takedown defense, submission defense, and very good striking.
