Adesanya family:

They can't do shit:

 

[13Seconds]

Damn. Izzy mom calling Dricus over got to me. Cool moment.

Izzy better learn some manners for the future.

It's DDP time

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Good to see. Hespect to both men.

 

[Liquidskies]

And now they are acting like Riggs and Murtaugh all of a sudden? Ok I'll allow it.

 

[xhaydenx]

It's a Dickus Du Plesis world and we're all just living in it at this point.

DDP bless.

Dogbender bless too, I suppose.

Well Izzy has no choice. He got wrecked.

DDP could've done the Khabib thing but he chose the other way.

 

[Steve Fox]

Class. Dricus is the champion we didn't knew we needed.

The word "acting" isn't in your vocabulary it seems.

 

[gosuasus]

Awful to see. Let the bad blood boil. This is why the last great MMA rivalry was Jones-Cormier. Everything else is milking.

 

[GiganticMeat]

In my professional shookologist opinion, at the weigh-in faceoffs, my read was "these guys are here to sell a fight."

(Also I didn't watch the faceoffs lmao just the clips during the PPV)

 

[Busgosu]

Dricus was the better man in and out of the cage

 

[mangokush]

Izzy was just introducing to his family what an African who was born and lives and trains in Africa looks like

Proberly something Izzy & his family has never seen before

I may in the minority but I wish fighters would stop have these nasty personal trash talk before the fight and then after the fight, acting like best friends hugging on graduation day. It’s one thing to have competitive trash talk and then have shake after the fight. But to call someone “N-bomb”, accusing of racism, saying “I’m going to kill you bitch”, crying and slaming table before and then acting like “come over for lunch Sunday”. It makes everything look fake. That’s why Khabib vs Conor will always be #1 in my book. Hate before, hate after ….real and raw emotions and fighters stay true to themselves like characters in a good story.

I think most all beefs are unfortunate so I'm happy if they settle it... But I admit you bring up a good point. Personally I find most pre-fight trash talk kinda cringy so I don't pay too much attention to it.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Very nice to see. Izzy mom voice calling Dricus is so sweet.

 

[ryun253]

Wouldn't be surprised if both hooked up after with how touchy both men are

Alot of this comes down to the nature and what it entails to be in a fight. There's mutual respect afterwards because each has the balls to stand across from the other. Then the pure physical aspect of just fighting, something about rolling around with another male, you get a sense of really knowing one another
