News Robert Whittaker Vs Dricus Du Plessis - UFC 290

[michhmoggan]

Dricus five round with wittacker?

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Whittaker will colonize him.

I’m guessing Whittaker takes this, he beats everyone that isn’t Izzy in that division I guess

 

[Duke Kensington]

Just saw this lol. I can't believe they're putting him up in a "title eliminator".
theres no way he beats rob...

That said,,,,,


I'm becoming a dricus fan now. If you watch his last 2 fights it is unbelievable hes made it this far. Imagine if something flukey happens and he gets a title shot out of this

lets go dricus!!!

 

[Psychojoe86]

Welp, Du Plessis had a good run, but he is going to be majorly behind in this fight. Whittaker by decision.

 

[d0g]

Whittaker has a weak chin. Don't be surprised if Du Plessis catches him and knocks him out.

 

[Question]

So Adesanya isnt fighting this summer? I thought he was blowing up Dana’s phone eager to fight asap.

Maybe hes gonna give the LHW belt another shot.

Edit: btw Rob vs Du Plessis I think is gonna be a surprise banger of a fight

Yeah I thought for sure Izzy/DDP was next once Strickland got booked.
I guess they just told Izzy to wait for this fight or maybe they actually give him a fight at LHW.

Tbh I think DDP is underestimated a bit and he's still pretty dangerous. He also hasn't been in a boring fight in the UFC so I think we're in for a treat on this one.

Edit: Oh now I see what they're doing, Dana said he's saving Izzy for the Sidney card later this year and winner of this will fight him on there. That makes sense and it's probably the best way for Rob to get a third bout to be marketable since both him and Izzy are popular in that region.

 

[JKS]

Wonder what the main event will be?? It's gotta be a big title fight.

I thought Volk vs Yair was good to go for 290?

 

[LoveMyMMA]

UFC 290 is full of lopsided matchups but it’s looking like a very strong card nonetheless:

Volk vs Yair
Moreno vs Pantoja
Whittaker vs DDP
Turner vs Hooker
Nikal vs Gore

 

[chiefwiggum]

Middleweight is so fucking boring and low grade.

Inject Khamzat into this division, give it a life.

ww to lhw is pretty bad at the top

edit. almost every didvisom but 155 really.

 

[VinceArch]

War Whittaker!

 

[Tweak896]

Good, hope this stops the DDP hype train when no one thinks he will have a chance, but if he gets through Whittaker he might have a chance. I like it. Whittaker needs to stay busy.

 

[VAfan]

too bad pereira moving up. would have liked to see how bobby did against him.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

At least he's not getting the title shot, Robert should win easily.

 

[fortheo]

Dricus better use his shaman magic and rabbit's paw to find Whittaker's chin

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Rob gonna beat him up.. in my opinion Du Plessis is pretty overrated

Anyone with eyes can see that, but somehow, some Sherdogers are blind...

lets go dricus!!!

Imagine Dricus loses two lopsided rounds and then catches him in the third. Sherdog would implode.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Rob is going to beat the breaks off Driscus. Poor Robby. Designated as Gate Keeper now.

 

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

You gotta be kidding me. All that build up for Izzy vs Rob 3???

[Kenny Powerth]

Love it.

Slightly favor Bobby Knuckles
