Dricus Du Plessis gas tank issues explained

[MrFreeze]

Dricus has had a poor gas tank for several of his fights but has still racking up wins. I wonder how much of a change this will be for his future performances?

What's the excuse for his horrible technique?

 

[Chalky White]

Lol I have to give this man credit. He picked a good gimmick to run with, since his fighting ability alone probably won’t get him to the final level.

What's the excuse for his horrible technique?

Double jointed limbs.

8% Du Plessis is great, imagine 100% Du Plessis

 

[reddhelium]

Huge (oxygen intake) if true

 

[HuskySamoan]

What's the excuse for his horrible technique?

Lack of explosive athleticism?

Lack of explosive athleticism?

Seems weird for the most African of all Africans…

[FrappeDuRocma]

Regardless of his gas tank, he sucks...

 

[fortheo]

What's the excuse for his horrible technique?

He made a deal with an african shaman and found a rabbit's foot. Logic will not explain his winning ways.

 

[GolovKing]

I just figured it was due to him being an explosive sub Saharan African and all

 

[Liverkick-king56]

I always thought his strength was cardio and chin.
Tavares, and Brunson were whooping him pretty badly before they got tired. They were well on their way to finishes if it was anybody else but Du Plessis.

 

[ignorant MMA fan]

Not news to the broadcast booth as they've explained his mouth breathing ways multiple times.

"Not my place as a coach", single handedly creates a promo for Adesanya vs DDP...

Dudes desperate for his 10%. As a coach, he should be worried about his fighters health.

I don't think it's safe for a fighter with a recent nose job to compete, don't they have 12 months recovery time? Khamzat next title shot, this guy should have to prove his nose could hold up for 5 rounds first.

Sometimes a handicap can be a blessing in disguise. Remember when Oliveira won 12 straight and became LW champ with bad eyesight? He got corrective surgery and immediately lost the title.

Full oxygen DDP is born

So DDP has to prove his NOSE can hold up to a 5 round fight, while at the same time you are suggesting Khazmat to get the title shot, without proving anything at MW?
