What's up with Dricus nickname?

[13Seconds]

Dricus "stillknocks" Du Plessis. What does stillknocks mean? I might be way out of the loop on this one, but I don't know. Been thinking about it too.

Is it a breaking bad call back?



Or what is it? It sounds cool though.

 

[b00tysweat]

it's like an Afrikkaner "knocks them out cold/still" kind of thing I think

 

[Natural Order]

Not sure what it refers to but it's one of my favs. Sounds badass.

My guess is that it's reference to "still going" or "always live" but I could be way off.

Sleepy medicine or sumn

Still knocks is a South African brand sleeping medication. Why tf has Sean been calling him Dutchman?

The new sherdog forum layout doesn’t allow me to google either. It’s just gonna stay a mystery I guess.

It's the South African version of Tylenol PM

because SA was colonized by the Dutch

It's Zef for still punching after you've knocked your opponent out.

It's a European thing... like him.

DDP was saying Izzy isn’t African and questioning his heritage. Sean is just giving it back to him

DDP's answer to that exact question:

“It is actually a name that came from my amateur days,” Free State-born du Plessis says to FORBES AFRICA. “As an amateur, [I did] 33 fights with 30 knockouts. And my brother actually came up with the name because it's named after a sleeping tablet. You know when you take it, it will just knock you out.”Apr 21, 2023

He should've went with 'Pitbull'

Is this a joke or a reflection of the US education system?

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Not nearly as awesome as Muscle Shark!!

 

[Simple Southerner]

Still knocks sounds cooler than Sean i used to be a Nazi Strickland

 

[whocares]

It sounds better than zolpidem tartrate

 

[Harlekin]

SA was colonized by the dutch, but isn't DDP still having french heritage?

Got it now. Good shit.

It's fun that he's repping his country in every way possible, and it doesn't hurt that 'Stillknocks' sounds badass even if you don't have any idea of the backstory.
