If Alex Pereira vs Dricus Du Plessis was to happen it would be one-sided

[Edward Henry Berg]

sir your not getting the point
theres a reason jones and gsp outstrikes strikers
do you know why?
because of takedown threats

please think clearly
pretty sure dricus aint a noob in the striking department
and we are all sure that ddp has a massive advantage if he gets a hold
of pereira

Dricus is a noob striker compared to Alex.

DDP had a life-and-death struggle with Sean Strickland, over 5 rounds, whom Pereira bombed out of there in 3 easy minutes.

Night-and-day difference in striking skills and power.

I mean it's going to take a wrestler to beat Alex. The unfortunate thing is if it went to Dricus' plan it'd work out to be a terrible fight for the fans full of lay n' pray.
If Alex's sprawl continues to improve (old school Cro-Cop comes to mind) he'd lay a whooping on Du Plessis.
Either way i'm here for it.

CroCop was very bottom heavy at 6"2 with excessive centre of gravity in those tree trunk thighs of his hence his TDD.

Alex is lean throughout and taller. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it is a challenge.

Reminder that Dricus has a takedown rate 3 times higher than anyone poatan has ever fought. He also has more submissions than anyone poatan has fought.

this is MMA sir
this is not pure striking fight

pereira already has lost a striking fight in MMA
the difference between pereira and sean is
sean has better counter wrestling

let me remind you that the two fighters who tried to take poatan down
was izzy and jan
and guess what they absolutely took him down
even though theyr average at best

 

[Natural Order]

Dricus fights smart, shoots early and often. Taps him out with ease.

8/10 times Du Plessis imo.

 

[CasualBot]

So ...



You don't know what ONE-SIDED means ?

 

[CasualBot]

They both are

 

[The Blue Bird]

DDP would diddle Alex

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

At 185 yes for DDP

At 205 Yes for Alex.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

To make it one sided.
One of them would have to go down after the first strike!
Probably Dricus but I just do not see it happening!

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Dricus wins this, shocking matchup for Pereira I reckon

 

[Istryker]

At 185 I think DDP subs Alex. His wrestling is really poor and really untested

 

[Nobru]

sloppy striker with some td game wouldnt be able to do jack

Poatan probably wins 9 out of 10 times, if not 10/10

 

[hector domino]

I think Alex kills him. If Jan couldn't smother Alex, I don't think DDP could at 6 ft

Jan is actually pretty bad at wrestling and top control(watch gus and ankalaev fight for the disparity in grappling).

 

[Gregoire1]

Alex gave him 4/10 as a rival

 

[NextGen]

I like Poatan but I legit think DDP beats him at 185. A fight at LHW would be more interesting.

 

[Ibm]

If Alex gets enough solid training from Fabricio, He'll dominate.

 

[AmonTobin]

The way Strickland shut him out, I think Pereira would thrash him on the feet. Either way, this wouldn't be boring.

 

[ragreynolds]

I think Alex kills him. If Jan couldn't smother Alex, I don't think DDP could at 6 ft

Jan did though. He just gassed super quick and couldn't keep it up because they fought at high altitude - everyone on that card was gassing badly.
