News Robert Whittaker Vs Dricus Du Plessis - UFC 290

[Royce's Gi]

If i was African i would vote for Discus Suplexis

If i was a Wrestlingfan i would vote for Diamond Dallas Page

 

[AbominableJoman]

Wow. We could be seeing the rise of the first ever REAL african ufc champion

 

[Sweater of AV]

I suppose Diamond Dallas is aiming to be the first person to bring number one contendership home to Africa.

 

[The_Renaissance]

This came from nowhere, great fight. Whittaker wins easily though.

 

[RedCansLoom16]

I don’t see how this fight makes sense when Izzy wanted to fight again soon. Maybe the UFC wants to avoid the Africa, black vs white angle. Because this is an easy fight for Rob. Feel like Strickland vs Whittaker made more sense.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Spoiler Alert: it's South Africa.

What I said went right over your head

 

[Sincere Guy]

Whittaker all day long. His third collision with Adesanya is inevitable.

 

[ferrisjso]

Problem is if Whitty wins he can't get a title shot and we lose a contender. If Du Plessis wins we've got a real hype train on our hands.

[93confirmed]

Whittaker will colonize him.

 

[VonSupervillain]

Upper mid-tier fighters versus upper low-tiwr fighter.

 

[Muay Thai #1]

100% oxygenated Du Plessis is gonna be a nightmare for Whittaker

 

[ThaiSexPills]

DDP is a warrior for taking this fight. Remember that if he loses because not many other guys take these kinds of fights.

He could have sat on the sidelines and whined his way to a title shot or looked for a big name, easy fight. Instead, he’s facing a championship calibre fighter everybody else wants to duck. Respect to DDP. I Hope he pulls it off because fresh blood in the division would be nice.

If it’s true he had a 93% blockage in his nose, he could come in much better than we’ve seen him. I don’t think this is going to be a one sided beat down like the poll says. I think Dricus has a real chance of winning.

 

[Enigma87]

Dricus gonna surprise some of you mofos

 

[Ruke Doufus]

Great fight to make. Will show how ready DDP actually is and we'll get a properly hyped match up with Izzy or it will justify Rob's third shot.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

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

Well... Dricus knocked out fully supplemented Roberto Soldic so anything can happen.

 

[GrantB13]

As much as Du Plessis is the most deserving contender as it stands, he really could use another big win. Him getting a title shot next was more of a the "best we got" vs a contender that's truly ready.

 

[wolfss]

Rob hasn't finished anyone in 6 years, chill lol

this time he isn’t fighting the best.

 

[humdizzle]

pretty sure dana said winner gets TS

would be funny if whittaker wins the 3rd fight and says ' i dont keep score i settle them ' and ducks the rematch

 

[Hezekiah]

Hopefully Du Plessis wins, no interest in seeing Whittaker get a third title shot against Adesanya.
