Dude has a huge head. He's Yoel massive for the weight class, and like Rogan said, i can't believe he makes the weight. Must be those crazy south african genetics, cause i noticed some of his hands were making Whittaker's head bounce like during the good ol days and his fights against Romero. It also seems like when his opponents hit him, especially with low kicks, they hurt themselves more than they hurt him.

update : yeah, adesanya will still play with him

When you breathe African air all your life you get super strength. On a real note though anytime the dude grabs someone he gets you to the ground and you either won't get up or won't be the same when you get back to your feet. We know how good Rob's takedown defense is and he ragged dolled him and beat him up till the bell. When Rob got up his whole expression changed.

lets see if he has the chin of romero.
he got KOed by Soldic, but ok, Soldic is good
 
He reminds me a little of romero. Slow most of the time. Not crazy technical but he lulls the opponent into a false sense of security and then he explodes. When he does he's suddenly fast as fuck.
Strong as fuck and devastating

I was shocked to see Rob getting down and held so easily. You don't see people taking Rob down like that.
 
What I noticed about DDP is that he’s got those big 3D delts and traps, which pretty much confirms he’s strong as hell.

I don’t think he actually is an explosive athlete like Yoel. But he has such superior cardio and the same strength/rock golem build, so it makes him similar.

God bless these dudes fighting out of countries where USADA has no presence.

Dricus brought tanks of African O2 to Las Vegas and made sure to fill his warm up room with it just before the fight. He was breathing pure African air with his nostrils at 100% patency thanks to the recent corrective surgery. Basically unstoppable.
 
Suplexis is very powerful due to being African and Cuban
