LoL pretty funny to be "Mimmicking" ddps striking.

So how is he doing this? Bludgeoning himself in the head repeatedly before training? Maybe a full bottle of tequila or surgically removing your right foot and replacing it with a second left foot?

Dricus Striking weird asf, you have to like "technically bad" to mimmick it. Dricus is hands down my favourite UFC champ today because of it. He's the best fighter to watch he fights with his own rulebook, like Jiri Which is why those are my 2 favourite fighters today.

he can mimick the striking but he will never replicate ddp's power or durability, DDP is a unique fighter, he's kind of like merab in that he's not as skilled as the people he is beating but more physical and hungrier than them. Merab isn't a better fighter technically than yan or umar but he beat them, same with DDP and whittaker

Great comparison. Despite not being the most skilled in their weightclass, they've both shown that they belong as champions.

If people ever needed examples that attributes applied correctly can beat skill, these guys are the peak of that concept.

Not as skilled as who they're beating is also a description for Jones. He's not as technically sound as Shogun, Machida, Rashad, Rampage, DC but his size and reach and ability to leverage the reach gets him the wins

 

[rollthedice]

Saying the champion of a division isn't as skilled as the people he's beaten in his own division is it's own kinda copism

 

[188912345]

His style is a level above the meta of fighting that they are used to. Because they don't understand it, they mock it as a cope. You don't go undefeated 10+ years by accident

Are u talking just striking?

Cuz he without question is technically better grappler than everyone you mentioned.

Even Machida, last I checked machida got dropped in striking and choked out cold, and face planted brutally? Pretty sure he was out skilled in every aspect. I think Shogun even tapped to strikes?

Mostly striking but IMO Shogun was a better grappler overall, especially before he had 17 knee surgeries

DDP's striking...

 

[Question]

Idk, Rob's probably a great training partner but DDP's style so difficult to replicate and they have pretty different builds

 

[MDoza]

Trump sees Russian and China claiming land and waterways, and says.. hey.. I want land and waterways too.

He wants to kick out the Gazan's, help Israel build the Ben Gurion Canal to connect the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea, annex Mexico and Canada, reclaim the Panama Canal..

Yeah man, I'm not a huge DDP fan either, I think Rob's impression is good..

Not to be a contrarian, but apparently, he got KO'd in 2018 by a guy called Robert Soldic before his UFC stint.
