News Robert Whittaker Vs Dricus Du Plessis - UFC 290

[RockyLockridge]

This fight shouldnt be happening, theyre just using Whittaker to protect Izzy by beating his contenders for him. Who is Izzy going to fight while this happens? there's no other contenders at 185, so either they let him go to 205 or he's going to be inactive

Let me put it this way, Izzy is red hot on social media after that KO of Poatan.

I doubt they are going to let him be inactive.

So you almost KNOW what that means

 

[Bearknuckle]

Whittaker is so well liked on sherdog, i kinda want him to lose to DDP just to see the cope and meltdowns here lol

it will be as glorious as watching the izzy haters coping after he ko’d alex cold.

inb4 3-1

 

[Reaperman]

Whitaker should destroy this dude. Whittaker’s striking is far superior, and should sleep him….

 

[mister piscadinha]

when DDP start finding that glass chin of whittaker.. it will be over

 

[MigitAs]

Whittaker will colonize him.

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Duplessi has 21 fights, 19 wins and only one decision. both of his losses are via finish (1 sub, 1 T/ko)

This fight is certain to end in a finish. for someone.

Whittaker couldn't finish Darren Till mate

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Yeah cause so many guys are finishing Yoel, Kelvin, Vettori, Cannonier etc..

He probably should have finished Till but he didn't do very well that fight. The rest of his opponents are all guys who aren't easily finished.

I'm very confident Rob gets the finish in this one.

He looked like dog shit in the Till fight who has been finished in the majority of his most recent outings without any difficulty. Don't count on him finishing Dricus is all I'm saying

 

[RockyLockridge]

Whittaker couldn't finish Darren Till mate

Dricus did.

this is a different fight. I dont think Dricus will stand around and lose a decision. He will take every risk to win the fight even if it means serving his head on a platter.

 

[Jonesisnatural]

No chance Rob won the second, he spent most of the time on the outside, throwing double jabs, was terrified to get inside.

Nothing much happened in that fight, and neither in the trilogy.

It might take work to get down, but Rob at WW would be a beast.

You're on crack lol

 

[Ares Black]

Good, hopefully Rob sends Du Please back to his homeland…wherever the fuck that really is

Spoiler Alert: it's South Africa.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Duplexes will SHOcK THE WoRLD

*He is looking Pink, eh!?

 

[Jinx_AA]

I’m not huge in Whittaker …. But he’ll smoke dricus !

 

[NikLuk]

Too bad. In my opinion DDP had done enough to actually earn a title shot. I don’t think he makes it past Bobby.

 

[Sad Dad]

Middleweight is so fucking boring and low grade.

Inject Khamzat into this division, give it a life.

Rob destroys chim and I’m a fan of both guys. Some other exciting matchups though

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

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

DPP only gets this done if he has one last wish available. Good thing he fixed nose with the sorceries of modern technology rather than with the ancient mysteries of the paw

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Middleweight is so fucking boring and low grade.

Inject Khamzat into this division, give it a life.

It's been over a year since Khamzat has fought a top guy. He needs to inject himself. What happened to the guy who said, "I kill everyone, I eat everyone?"

 

[GiganticMeat]

Pretty disappointed tbh. Would have rather seen Izzy get another oddball fight even if it was a little slapdash. He could realistically fight Rob after DDP anyway.

 

[IneedSometop]

Whittaker easy 50-45

 

[kingmob6]

It's been over a year since Khamzat has fought a top guy. He needs to inject himself. What happened to the guy who said, "I kill everyone, I eat everyone?"

I just don't think that Khamzat is on the sidelines rejecting deals right and left. We need bring Dana to court.

 

[cashmate]

I feel like this indirectly confirms Izzy is fighting Khamzat next.
Every opponent Khamzat should get matched with is getting scheduled to fight somebody else. Even costa seems to have given up on getting the fight.
