Media Dricus Du Plessis TKO Robert Whittaker GIFS

[MarleyLynx]

that seems fake, this really hurts, Rob losing to this sloppy guy, Izzy save us from him

One thing i've learned from martial arts is that things don't need to be pretty. It's not hollywood.

I love his shot selection after dropping rob: he drops him, then fires a calf kick, chases rob down with a shifting blitz, then digs to rob's body before pouring it on rob out as rob covers up.

Excuse me but Yushin Okami was never a big MW.

Fought half his career at WW never missing weight.

Weighted-in at soft 200lbs with clothes on for a week-notice LHW bout vs OSP.

A below average MW by today standards.

Huge head though

 

[Pepy]

one of the bigger upsets ive seen. pretty crazy. its like he was slower, less skilled, less coordinated but still went out there and beat robs ass

younger, hungrier, less mileage and harder hitting

worked out for him in the end.

Can't believe Rob ran head first straight into that jab.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

The power and strength difference was shocking. DDP is a fucking tank in that weight class

I watched all his fights leading up to the whittaker fight recently. It became apparent he hurts every opponent very badly eventually. He's like yoel. The opponent gets a rhythm going and thinks they have him timed and then he explodes. Great power and great chin too

<Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo>

Africans hit hard man. Between DDP, Ngannou, and Perry it's amazing they haven't killed anyone yet.

Legitimately LOL''d at adding Perry to this list of Africans <45>

Looked old

same as he ever was

I know Whittaker has been stopped before but has he ever sat down and covered up?

The dude took everything from Romero and kept moving and doing whatever he needed to stay alive.

But this time he just covered up by the fence, then dropped to his knees and kept covering up

He's never had an iron chin, but what he has had is amazing recoverability. I think that might be gone for him. He just can't recover anymore like he used to.

 

[Superzorro]

To me destroying a guys will to fight like this is better than a KO. I have to give DDP his credit here. I love when fighters who have dog in them find ways to beat people who are more “skilled” than them. Beautiful to watch. DDP has done nothing but have exciting fights his entire time here in the UFC.

 

[Superzorro]

I Wonder what people will say when Dricus beats Izzy? Will Izzy have suddenly fallen off or not be in his prime?

Let’s see. If he gets knocked out, can I come back to this post and troll you? What do you imagine yourself saying? Will you not reply and try to sweep it under the rug?

 

[KungFuCow]

Think we might be seeing Rob's chin giving out now. Two wars with Yoel, rock em sock em with Brunson and Till and a knockout loss to Izzy - that's just at MW.

Nature of the beast I guess. This loss could breathe new life in the division.

So we're playing the Rob is on decline card now?

 

[The Clark]

Even in his win vs Cannonier, he got hurt I believe the Izzy rematch, Gastelum and Vetorri bout are fights he didn't get hurt in recent memory.

I thought he got dropped in the first round of the Izzy rematch. Haven't rewatched that one, so I may be misremembering.

 

[StunGUNsEXYAMA**]

Whitaker and Moreno need to take a year off

They looking a Lil worn out

 

[RockyLockridge]

Whittaker did not look good tonight. Looked very flat and couldn't get much going. Bummer I think the mileage on Bobby is catching up.

He looked the same as he always does dricus is just better everywhere

 

[ilfirin]

Dude is an absolute monster. I wonder if any of this had to do with him actually being able to breathe properly for the first time. Regardless, his power and ability to land it is undeniable. He finished Whittaker in a brutal manner.

Shit, he may have, it's definitely a fight I don't really remember much, to be honest.

 

[Tohm]

Crazy fight and even crazier seeing Du Plessis earning his title shot against a guy like Whittaker, but seeing how he performed in his previous fights, I don't really think he has much for Izzy.
I think this fight with Whittaker will lead people to think that he has a chance bigger than he actually has to beat Adesanya.

Anything is possible, but I think it's unlikely that he beats Adesanya. However, one thing that keeps me interested about this matchup is that Du Plessis will most likely bring the fight to Adesanya, so even if he loses, we will still see something exciting there. That's what I hope.

If I remember correctly it was more Rob losing the balance than getting hurt.
