Dricus’s style is horrible

[wolfss]

It reminds me a lot of the dean of mean Keith Jardine. How can he be champ??

 

[fortheo]

Dricus is awesome. You guys should have gotten on board like 6 fights ago. His run has been absolutely fascinating.

 

[KoalaBear]

His nickname wouldn’t be the dean of mean if his name was Keith smith

 

[spooNN]

That's funny because I brought that up just yesterday during the fight. I said he was awkward and fought like Jardine but with the athleticism of GSP.

 

[Koro_11]

Meh, if it ain’t broken don’t fix it.

 

[Frode Falch]

I agree.

He did good..but his fighting style aint my cup of tea. To say it mildly

 

[13Seconds]

Embrace the yin/yang dynamic of textbook strikers vs messy brawlers. Don't get stuck in the ways of how a fighter "should look like".

This is the beauty of martial arts son. Nothing is promised.

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

I think strickland's style makes ddp look even worse since he has to awkwardly flail around to even hit sean who is a defense first fighter. Against Izzy or Whittaker DDP looked less goofy

 

[CatchtheseHands]

His style isn't pretty but this is fighting and with fighting the way you fight doesn't have to look pretty as long as it's effective in which it is for DDP.

 

[Mammothman]

Don't disrespect Dricus like that, dude is a legit tank and have show he fights with a plan, his weird attacks have a reason.

It might look ugly but its planned and effective.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

DDP is a slightly more coordinated version of Marvin Vettori with Merab proportionate cardio.

just slightly

 

[gentel]

Dricus fought a more textbook technical fight last night than ever before - ironically though, it was a wild overhand swing that broke Strickland's nose

 

[moosaev]

Not aesthetically pleasing, but effective. Anyway, I think he’s a symptom of the MW division. Not all champs are created equal. It’s no surprise that the 2 most talented champs skill wise are at FW and LW.

 

[krelianx]

He is a lot better than he looks, because the guy is a bit brutish. He is very strong, durable, surprisingly fast moving in and out, great cardio, and well rounded. A machine.

 

[Ares Black]

His style is awkward but undeniably effective

 

[Portland8242]

It was like cardio kickboxing with unpredictable power punching mixed in. I thought his style looked super effective last night.

You can tell 10.000 things about a man's soul based on if he finds Dricus awesome, annoying, or hilarious.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

He's getting better technically in the past couple of fights.

His style is super unorthodox and his timing is weird AF, but that's part of what makes him so hard to figure out. Plus, he rearranges faces with one shot when he lands clean.

He broke Whittaker and Strickland's noses with one punch.

 

[SCTwins]

I can't say its esthetically pleasing but it makes for some wild ass exchanges.
