Rewatch Was DDP gassed, hurt by Adesanya or playing possum?

[Hog-train]

I just rewatched the fight and I really can't tell. Were Adesanya's body shots having any effect and that's why he was slowing down?

Or was he just getting gassed? I honestly can't tell with DDP because he literally always looks like he's gassing - but he still comes forward.

Did Adesanya ever hurt DDP in the fight?

 

[Lee Danger]

he was done, Izzy took his soul.

 

[Theynevergoeasy]

How could you hurt that rock hard solid thick masculine body with mere kicks and punches?

 

[Leinster Rugby]

pretty even fight up to the finish i thought at the time.

Izzy landed on him plenty, whether DDP got hurt or rocked I'm not sure, he's pretty effing tough so....

Israel would have won if he kept his focus. Both looked tired but l think in the later rounds israel looked better.

you still haven't understood that DDP always looks tired but isn't at all ? he has great cardio

 

[Pitier of Fools]

He looked a bit gassed to me. He was definitely slowing down. Still putting out a decent pace though, but Izzy was starting to outwork him in the last round....up until Dreyfus finished him.

This. Yes, he's been hurt a bit, but he's looked tired or gassed in every fight. Mostly the reason so many people didn't believe he was a real contender.

Sherdog is prozac nation. So much cope.

Adesanya is a good fighter. DDP is better.

If you want an example of a submitted fighter who does not want the fight to be over, look at Volk under Ortega.

If you want an example of a submitted fighter who DOES want out of the ring asap, look at Conner Diaz or Conner Kabeeb.
Look at Nunes under mouth-girl 1.
Look at Izzy under DDP.

It was a competitive fight, but it wasn't close.
There was never a minute in that fight where DDP thought he might lose.
Every minute, Izzy knew he probably would lose. He was game tho. Gotta give him that.

 

[AmonTobin]

DDP did look a little gassy in that fight. Could be the supplements he’s using. Yes I think Izzy’s body work was having an effect. Edit: sorry misread title of thread.

 

[nonoob]

He did look hurt, but he proved his worth by finishing Izzy, no easy feat.

 

[Tweak896]

I don't know what DDP is made of but looked gassed, but all of sudden used a burst of energy to get the finish. I feel like his heart makes him dangerous all rounds even when gassed.

 

[Captain Insano]

Probably a little of both.







Body shots were good hits.







But DDP kept coming and Izzy tucked tail

 

[Pain4Pain]

Those blitzes he does take a lot of stamina. I think the pressure really wore on Izzy as well as he looked a lot more efficient with his movement throughout the fight but still got very fatigued.

Was close. 2-1 Dricus going into 4th. Izzy opened strong and was winning 4th ......... untill he wasn't.

Everything you said was fine until the last paragraph that is all just made up stuff minus the last 2 sentences.

 

[Fact Checker]

DDP is used to fighting gassed which is an impressive feat… bro just embraces fatigue lol.

 

[Grayto]

He was slowing down output to recover and explode again. Just Because someone’s temporarily tired, it doesn’t mean they’re “gassed”.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Just how he breathes and moves. He always looks kind of tired but always has explosive shots. Very similar to Romero.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

It honestly looked pretty bad for Dricus at one point. He looked much more tired than Izzy and Izzy seemed in control with good body shots and distance control. Luckily for DDP he’s extremely durable and has solid power to change the fight like that
