"What would be your reaction if DDP became the Middleweight Champion?"

[Rorschachxx]

I'd wake up and think to myself "what a silly dream that was".

 

[Xuh]

getting the belt again would be nice...

... but probably not as nice as getting Kimberly back

"Sometimes these things happen in MMA"

 

[Goatenstein]

Izzy is an absolutely horrible matchup for him. I'm a fan though I'd be happy for him.

 

[arcadeperfect]

It would be the most hilarious/preposterous thing to ever happen in MMA. There's no way Israel would lose to a guy that's tailor made for him to KO.

 

[HuskySamoan]

That's the only thing people talk about when discussing DDP. That he's African.

What about his fighting? It looks pretty bad to me imo.

I mean, he's 19-2 with 18 finishes, 5-0 in the UFC, former KSW champ, had wins like Roberto Soldic and Haratyk before even getting signed to the UFC. He's an all action fighter, he looks gassed but tends to outperform his opponents in the later rounds, his striking technique at times makes him look drunk but it's also looked clean and powerful at times too, his wrestling and top game are solid. I've enjoyed his fights for the most part. The fact that he wins looking awful is bizarre for sure but it's been consistent.

I think the trumpets of the apocalypse would sound!

Ragnarok would be upon us, for sure!

 

[RockyLockridge]

I'd be so happy for him.

I really like DDP, he's a bad ass and his fights are awesome

 

[Starman]

Diamond Dallas Page? I’d shit my pants.

What about his fighting? It looks pretty bad to me imo.

I think his mic skills are cringe-inducing, and that he looks sloppy AF in the cage, BUT I'll be damned if he isn't exciting to watch and getting win, after win, after win. I wish him the best, what's there not to enjoy about the situation? And he's sloppy, but he's clearly got skills as well. Until he loses I'm not going to criticize his successful run.

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

What would be my reaction to witnessing a miracle?

It would take a miracle for this guy to win the title.

I'd love to see it because it would be so overwhelmingly unlikely. So I'm totally on board. But yeah, imagining him against an elite precision striker like Izzy or Alex painful. And brief.

 

[Timewarp]

Meh, there'd just be an immediate rematch.

 

[Clark Rogers]

I would say "BANG!"

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

For a moment, imagine him knocking out Izzy and shaking up the entire division. Would it be bigger than Serra vs GSP?

I don't like him all that much, and I don't think he has the talent.

 

[Darkgsp]

Feel the room with uppercuts of confusion. Then contemplate.

 

[mangokush]

It would be history making if Driscus won

The 1st African from Africa to win the belt just like how Moreno was the 1st Mexican from Mexico to win the FLW belt

 

[MDoza]

Wouldn’t really shake up the division because Izzy would somehow get another immediate rematch after being stopped.

It's not like Alex deserved the shot at the belt in the first place.
