the fact that many fans are in denial about that is odd to me. Ddp has a TD rate 3 times higher than anyone poatan has ever faced, and also has more subs than anyone poatan has faced. He is very obviously a bad match up for the much older poatan, especially at 185lbs.
So true. After he has disproven everyone so many times, people just out of sheer spite, don't want to give him the credit he deserves. Not the least of which, Poatan who has always bet against Dricus in last few fights and had egg on his face. The guy has some sort of a jealousy thing going against Dricus because Dricus did better against Adesanya than he did at 185 lbs. Dricus mauls him at will especially at 185 lbs. It won't even be close.

Pereira is a massive babyface right now and people are extremely biased
It's not something the UFC is gonna allow to happen anyway, they know it's a bad matchup for him too lol
They have protected him this far and now he has developed into what they hoped he would, they're not gonna blow it for no reason when they can line up easy fights for him at LHW, and then a big fight at HW if/when it makes sense
Worst case scenario is he fights Jon and KO's him and people forever call him the GOAT lmao

While true, DDP is hittable, so it’s an interesting match. At 185 maybe Dricus gets the advantage, but not at 205.
Anyway, I hope it doesn’t happen, both guys have other business to take care of.

Jones oblique kicks + poatan kicking power. Nobody’s knees will survive.

Alex looking to use the same doctor as Bones to get to HW?
UFC is a joke at various times.
Jones avoiding Aspinal with the assistance of the UFC
Alex will avoid Dricus with the assistance of the UFC
UFC bought for 4bn so tell me which business does NOT protect its main assets?

Alex will avoid Dricus based on what? He’s fought like 10 former champions or something. You think he’s afraid of DDP?

Interesting. Jones and Pereira are about the same size too.
If I'm Alex's coach or on his team I do everything in my power to keep him from fighting at 185. Like Poirer at 145, I think the cut takes too much out of him and he loses durability. He will need every advantage if he fights DDP.
