Assuming they have something bigger for Izzy, otherwise they fumbled an easy sell and title defense for Izzy

Ya don’t understand why izzy didn’t take the fight considering he wants another fight right away and he is the most viable contender atm, guess izzy really wants him to put in work for the title shot like he said. Guess that’s why.

I think Dricus has slightly above a puncher's chance here. I think he's essentially a slightly worse version of Vettori. Rob is one of my favorite active fighters, but he's shown that he's droppable (although his recovery seems on point) so as long as Whittaker is careful he should be able to take this pretty easily, perhaps even get a late finish.

 

[Kiss My D’arce]

We are in for a classic Reaper performance, Rob absolutely eats this clown alive

 

[AmbassadorFright]

this time he isn’t fighting the best.

Canonier, Gastelum and Till are the best? Lmfao

Dricus deserves this fight, happy to see it. He's a live dog.

Whittaker gets a fun and entertaining dance partner he's never fought before, this is a win-win.

 

[Volador]

Whittaker will against beat the next potential contender, and again lose a deserved title shot, and this will continue to happen until one day he retires as the GOAT gatekeeper fighter.

Some are underestimating DDP in terms of his toughness and relentlessness, the guy can crack and has shown to carry that power throughout the whole fight.
That being said, I think once Whittaker gets a read on DDP after the first couple of blitz he'll get a read and begin picking DDP apart with teeps and his jab. Either a lopsided decision or late finish in Rob's favor.

The best chance DDP has is to get an early finish when they're both fresh, winning a decision with his style against someone like Rob is a very difficult task.

Great prediction I heavily agree.

 

[fizzlehiss]

Rob will jab his way to victory and everyone will pat him on the ass again.

 

[RizinSon88]

Does this mean Izzy/Strickland? Or that Swedish dude?
