Dricus beats Alex Periera and Belal

[clackers]

Alex caves his head in.

People forget there both former kickboxers.

Alex the best of the best and DDP was not on his level.

DDP doesn’t have the cardio to grapple Alex for five rounds so DDP gets finished.

DDP way too reckless against a bigger Pereira.

Jesus fucking Christ you’d think recency bias is stronger than heroin the way y’all be yapping over here. Fuck me. What am I watching

 

[AmonTobin]

How did Belal get dragged into this? I don't know how much of a flex it is to say the MW beats the WW.

I'm most interested in seeing dricus against the young contenders at 185 like imavov, allen, borralho, and chimaev. He's got hard tasks in front of him.

I agree I'd love for this to be his next match ups. People love rematches so much I know Whitaker and Strickland are there but beating these guys mean more for the divisions sake, rather than starving this new gen of guys for title shots. The queue at MW is long. Guys like Allen and imavov may have to fight 2 more times before they get their first title shot.

Hopefully dricus stays active and gets one more win at the end of the year or early next, then fights chimaev Whittaker winner next spring or summer.

Then at that point we move away from Costa Whittaker vettori Izzy Strickland as contenders

I don't think people understand how insane having Strickland, Izzy, and Whittaker Ws back to back is

That's gotta be one of the greatest 3 fight winstreaks of all time name wise

 

[Chaotic Progressor]

Nah I think Periera would knock him out.

It's seriously hilarious how the narrative that Dricus is trash still continues after last night, I've even seen people saying Belal would beat him but the fact of the matter is he finishes both of them. He's big, dangerous, cam offensively and defensively grapple, huge power in his hands and a dangerous BJJ threat. Neither Belal or Alex has fought a fighter with his style or pace to pull off finishes in the later rounds against someone as seasoned as Izzy. I think he beats most fighters around his weight class above and below.

Well that would be epic. I'm skeptical of him running over top LHWs, but let's look forward to him proving me wrong.

Poatan would be too skilled and too big + DDP would probably try and strike with him lol.

He'd maul Belal though. That wouldn't even be competitive.

Of course he beats belal. At 185 maybe he beats Alex cuz Alex has not chin there... but seriously

DDP is this generation's Forrest Griffin

I'm a fan of DDP but if Soldic can knock him out Alex definitely can. I mean you can't count Dricus out though. I don't think Belal has much of a chance.

I'm a fan of Peireira but if Ottoni can submits him Du Plessis can .

This pic makes me feel DC could have made Featherweight.

He could have at least tried mw, just stop eating so much.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

He's not beating Poatan

Definitely not at 205

Just watched a video of Big John and Josh Thomson say Islam would dominate DDP.

The disrespect to DDP is unreal
