His jab is awesome,but when it comes to getting on the mat,he not good,limited kick ability and he has a habit of wind milling when he throws both lefts and rights.

Based off his fights i've binged in preparation to the desanya fight...I noticed that all of his fights follow a pattern. He gets walked on a bit, feels it out, maybe grapples, but ultimately he just throws one punch and the power stuns his opponents. I 100% believe this is what's going on. He hits much harder than it appears. I can't imagine the power he holds cuz he's the biggest middleweight in the UFC. It's really fascinating to watch his rise.

[@GerritBarnard-v5k]

@@JohnWick-el9yw the wolverine has the weight and size on the honey badger but the honey badger aka Ratel has thick and loose skin and a stronger bite than the wolverine. the wolverine doesn't have the bite force to puncture the Ratels skin. so the honey badger for sure but if its a southern African honey badger that wolverine looses some weight as the Asian honey badger is smaller than its African counterpart. honey badger all the way

[@gigachad6885]

​@@GerritBarnard-v5k the Wolverine also has the same loose skin, but bigger. Bite force doesn't mean anything since it's relative, lions bully multiple hyenas who have higher bite forces. A wolverine is MUCH bigger than a honey badger, it's like having a hyena 1v1 a lion, or a black bear 1v1 a polar bear. Zero chance at all

Thank you for the way you broke down the strickland fight, thats how i tried explaining it to Sean Nutriders. like Sean had his JAB that was it. Dricus used kicks on all levels, striking, grappling, takedowns. EVERYTHING. That is why Dricus won.

[@wariossecretwarehouse7812]

Dricus Du Plesis is a wolf in sheeps clothing. He is super powerful. Like.. bafflingly so. His muscles tense at the perfect timing and absolutely SLAM his opponent. Once he rocks them, if he senses unstable legs, he goes for kicks to chop or grappling to pin them while there are weak. If he sees they become uncoordinated and arent blocking, then he finishes with another great power shot. Everyone thinks he is sloppy, and it looks that way. But even so, he keeps landing right on the money, and ending fights with powershots.

[@eachann7953]

he's powerful not because of his muscles. the muscles help but Dricus is so strong because of his bone structure. he has thick, dense bones. he's from a farming family and probably grew up on nothing but South African beef and raw milk

Well well well, look at what we have here, and STILL UFC Middleweight Champion - Dricus "Stillknocks" Du Plessis 👏👏👏

[@shanecle]

I am a bit late on the Du Plessis train, but DDP has had an insane career so far ... his style of fighting is so unorthodox.

[@eddiehauser6661]

Along with his skill and technique I think DDP's fight IQ gets overlooked as well. I think him, and his team, develop good strategies for each fight, and he does a good job of attacking guys' weaknesses. I think we will see that again this weekend, I think we'll see him push the pace against Izzy, keep the pressure on him, the way Sean did and had success, and also mix in a lot of takedowns and clinches, and use his strength advantage to make Izzy grapple

[@griffonu]

Seems like at the end of every fight, DDP goes to salute or hug his opponent and more often than not his move goes unanswered. A pity! Gotta love the guy!

[@subzeromidnight5388]

The fact he can knock your head off and has grappling skills that can take 5 Gracie Barra guys out in one night is crazy The fact alone that he cant only just hang with them but submit them all should be a testament to how much of a threat he is to anyone at 185

[@pirate_duck4985]

When people talk shit on Dricus, fights ugly then shoots when he gets hit... Well, his grappling, his ground game isn't just strength, he isn't just bullying people down. If he can submit FIVE Gracie Guys in ONE night!? Dude has MEGA skills on the ground & that bullying strength is just icing on the cake!

[@ItsameAlex]

[@imoeazy]

just watched Dricus vs Adesanya. Dricus is a really tough fighter to stop. No matter what his opponents strengths are, striking or grappling, he WILL challenge them into a full on mma fight. Seems like a whole new mma style.

[@KinnereyB]

He’s MUCH more technical than ppl think. Anyone who’s ever taken lessons for years in various striking arts will know what I’m saying. He’s combining a few arts on the feet, but doing it brilliantly (and tremendous all around grappler). Hard to find someone who’s this good at the best aspects of at least 3 striking arts who’s also this strong, this athletic, and this technically great grappling. Top tier wrestler and BJJ submission artist of his division (except for maybe Bo and Khamzat in wrestling). Add his titanium chin, endless gas tank, and elite self belief? Dude’s a problem for any 185er
