I been betting on DDP for over a couple years now...i saw this coming....i live in Las Vegas im an analyst and bet fights and sports. This dude is legit...he will submit Adesanya prob in 2nd or 3rd round

[@FlyingSquirrelMMA]

Did you predict him beating Rob?

Love your take bro, hilarious and Contender Izzy is DIFFERENT! I think Izzy might come back for Strickland afterwards

You had me dyin bruh! Hella funny Great points you make but Dricus has shut many men down who analyzed his game. Either way, Izzy's my Dude and he is Undefeated when Challenging for the title 🧐 and a finisher in those cases. Can't wait!

Me as a South African I saw it coming because we know him, even against Robert I placed a bet that he wins, him, Camron and Brendan Moreno on one slip, unfortunately Brendan lost

Izzy must bring that same energy when he fought Costa ... He bullied costa before during and after the fight ... shut him down

[@Enlightenment246]

Costas a joke, a training fight nothing more.

[@devongiguere3721]

I'm excited to see the mythical fighter known as contender Izzy tonight. I feel like Izzy fights better when he has a chip on his shoulder. It will be really cool to see him win a third time and maybe even have a few more defences. It's refreshing to watch some mma commentary that doesn't recycle the same Izzy jokes. Yeah, he's cringe but people be hating on him more than the legitimate pos fighters who abuse people and shit.

[@hazeshi6779]

Are we forgetting Dricus is younger than izzy so naturally he will have the better reflexes/speed. You're showing clips of izzy from the past to show his speed.

[@simma_utanga38]

DDP is the true African Champion he actually lives in Africa

[@cornedefouw5049]

Can't wait for this fight, I think ddp takes the w

[@bogachevden]

Back in 2023 late spring I somehow predicted that DDP will face Strickland in title fight
