Media Doesn't this seem unfair to DDP? He's a champion

[Unheralded Truth]

Are we as fans really comparing him to Homer now, that he only ends up in lucky situations due to his awkward clumsiness?

It may look a bit cartoonish, sure, but you still gotta have strength and some sort of ability to "find a way". Which must come from training.

Some guys are lucky, some guys have granite chins, some have granite fists, etc... luck can take you far. Being lucky isn't a bad thing

Let's not forget Homer Simpsons granite chin. He was able to challenge Dredrick Tatum for the world heavyweight boxing championship with basically no training. If DDP has that Homer chin we'll soon be asking who's the 3rd best MW of all time after DDP and Anderson

It's a pretty funny video. I'm just going to enjoy it and not read too much into it.

War DDP.

Who the fuck is "we" ?


I ain't got nothing to do with some jackass making a youtube video showing off his lack of understanding why Dricus is a highly successful fighter.


Dricus is a pressure fighter.
In old school boxing lingo he could be considered a "swarmer"

In 2010s MMA lingo he "overloads the computer"

What he is doing .... IS WORKING.

His style does not need to be pretty to be effective.

Long range counter strikers need to fight pretty.
Anderson Silva, Muhammad Ali, Israel Adesanya

Dricus fighters more like a Marvin Hagler style.
Walk you down, forehead to forehead, fighting in a phone booth.
Push the pace until you break and then beat you up when you are too exhausted to defend yourself.

And that is a thing of beauty to me.

Israel gassed out, overwhelmed and overpowered, outmatched. Tapping out and admitting defeat.
Ain't gonna be no rematch. Don't want one.

A bull in a China shop ain't worried about if you think it looks pretty.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

He's actually tightened his game up quite a bit in his last few fights.

He does have a really awkward style, but he has big power and is tard strong.

His awkward Clumsiness isn't luck. It's trained. It's how he beats people, In these ridiculous awkward situations he's a fish in water

 

[ninja boot]

ONE video with similar movements between uses clips from The Simpson's and DDP highlights and suddenly its the standard? lol
All i know is Gaethje is gonna be pissed when he hears there's a new Homer in town

All i know is Gaethje is gonna be pissed when he hears there's a new Homer in town

My first thought

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

LOL

 

[ThaiSexPills]

DDP is about to win a fight by dropping a piano on someone or painting a fake road onto the side of a rock wall

Took a full on bolo punch from Tatum. Wow.

DDP wishes he had that chin. DDP wishes was Homer.

That ankle pick while falling down against Izzy was both really slick and hilarious

 

[markys00]

Yea hes got a goofy style. I think we can all admit that.

I think it's one of the things that sets him apart

 

[RainyMonday]

The comparison is justified. Dricis' technique is embarassing.

Well said. If it works, it works!

He's sloppy but gritty, unpredictable and a physical monster.

 

[Bouboumaster]

DDP is hilarious

Nothing against Chimaev but I want DDP to become the GOAT of his division
