Du Plessis has finished 19 of his 20 victories. That's a 95% finish rate. The only man that lasted 15 minutes w/ him is Brad Tavares and his entire head was a bloodbath, broken nose, etc. Food for thought

Amen brother!

This is one of those fights you DO NOT want to miss

This is one of the best promos the UFC dropped in a while

A tactician vs a finisher - Sean vs Dricus is going to be an incredible match. I cannot wait for 20 Jan 2024.

DDP bout to strike another nerve

Let's go, Dricus. Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie. Soon, they will find out.🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Dricus started as a grappler starting Judo in his teens. He was already a black belt in Judo before he entered his 20s. Him and his two brothers were national Judo champions before they even got into kickboxing and MMA. He also is an elite level Grappler/Judo/Wrestling/BJJ fighter. You can see it in how Dricus did a hip toss throw on a 200+ lbs Whittaker to take him down. Anyone who knows Judo, knows hip toss is extremely hard to execute on a big guy as it requires a lot of explosive power and technique to be successful. He regularly competes in BJJ tournaments against some of the best BJJ teams. Gracie Barra BJJ is one of the best BJJ teams and Dricus went into a tournament against THE WHOLE Gracie Barra BJJ team. Dricus destroyed the entire Gracie Barra BJJ team taking them on one after the other submitting each and everyone of them. His opponents were fresh, but he would take a little rest and come back to take on the next. He went through BJJ martial artists some even bigger than him and submitting them. The guy is an absolute monster.

Sean has a very difficult fight ahead of him. I think if he can make it to the later rounds and keep it standing he can finish Dricus or get the decision because Sean has insane cardio. But Dricus is gonna be a tank in those first 3 rounds

This is going to be huge after the press conference happened which made it more personal.

Sean has a monumental task but he can do it just like the waterboy, he can keep being a hero.

I think it will be ironic as hell if Du Plessis beats Sean so bad he also can't mentally recover just like Sean did to Izzy

I'd like to see Rocky get it after all the years, for her & The Tiny Tornado, two respectable fighters.
