Dricus DuPlessis landed in Chicago via UAE. Quotes Muhammad Ali

[fortheo]

Who was DDP training with in UAE? That's very unusual for him.

 

[fortheo]

You are right the name is french. A quick search for his ancestry showed French and Netherlands.

• Afrikaner Heritage:
  Dricus Du Plessis is of Afrikaner descent, with his family originating from France and the Netherlands.

Either way who cares. He is a douche but so it Khamzat. Just trying to help Randy figure out who to root for. He seems to have trouble deciding.

Just because most afrikaners have dutch descent doesn't mean all of them do. There are plenty of afrikaners of french and german descent, too. I've seen nothing to suggest that Dricus has dutch descent other than the common association of "afrikaner = dutch"

Who knows though.

Yes, Dricus himself said he is a French descendant. Nothing about being Dutch from his mother's side.

That is why I mentioned, his whole training camp was a very closely guarded secret. There were some Dagestani style wrestlers he was training with, but no one knows who.

How do you know he was training with dagestani wrestlers and how do you know he was training in the UAE? I follow him closely on social media and missed all of this.

Biggest fight of the year so far and I don’t think any fight this year will top it unless Islam and Ilia fight.

I just know one of Khamzat's former training partner is in their camp.

Are you referring to that rumor about Ozzy Dugulubgov? Ozzy himself shut that down. It was fake news.

 

[Fergelmince]

Yeah, Khamzat is a pretty sizable favorite. Dricus is a pretty big underdog.

Is that right? Where?

Yeah, it looks like it was a pretty thin margin 2 months ago. I wouldn't call either one a sizable favorite or a big underdog back then. And it has obviously shrunk as we get closer to the fight.

 

[TheTribalQueef]

A racist apartheid support quoting a confused black man who supported segregation, oh the vindication.

 

[TheTribalQueef]

I hope chimaev mauls this dude I just don't know if he will, but I believe he can. Go Khamzat!

Ah OK. Thanks. Yes, I did not consider that the odds are closing as the fight approaches.
