The MMA Guru & Dricus Du Plessis FULL INTERVIEW! Gameplan For Strickland? Adesanya & Chimaev?

[@the-mma-guru]

Sorry about the audio throughout the entire interview guys, I've been working a lot on trying to make it sound as good as possible but this whole thing was done quite spontaneously so I didn't have much time to prepare everything. Thanks to Dricus for being so generous with his time. Also for the first 15 minutes of this interview the only thing going through my head was "holy shit I'm actually talking to Dricus Du Plessis right now" but I still think the interview went pretty well. SORRY ABOUT THE HOOVER TOWARDS THE END, the gym was pretty chaotic and everyone was getting ready to leave / people were cleaning. Enjoy.

This is the one of the greatest interviews with an mma fighter. It's hilariously scuffed but it's candid and a real conversation. With most fighter interviews, it's either soundbite run-of-the mill questions, it's podcasts that are the same boring shit or else it's 100% silly meme questions for the fighter. And with dricus interviews, it's always just focused on asking him "iz strickland hypocrite?" "did u go 2 far and be 2 mean 2 him?" "did u go too far with racizm against izzy ?". This on the other hand, is all just good stuff that I'm interested in hearing about. Good job, pork.
