Who presented themself better in their confrontation? Izzy or DDP?

[Fergelmince]

You guys do realise the UFC set this whole face offf up $$$

Probably true, but it was either not scripted or adesanya went WAY OFF SCRIPT

 

[AngryWeasel]

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"

The way DDP walked off aswell, couldnt have played it any better

It was funny.

Watch him a bit run his mouth - "ok I'm done listening to this fool" - walks off celebrating

What came to my mind, there are legit white people out of Africa who are indigenous. Zinedine Zidane is a white man, he's just as African as Adesanya. He's a Berber from Algeria who was born in France.

Would Izzy confront him also with the N Word? Izzy just doesn't make sense as usual. Who knows what happened to him during his Childhood.

 

[Fedora Millionankles]

Izzy honestly embarrassed himself, imo, but their body language was definitely against DDP. He's a guy who prizes himself on his strength and size, and I don't think he realized how big Izzy actually is, he was looking down and away and let Izzy railroad him. Not very confident looking.

He has trained with Izzy in the past and owned him grappling so that whole “didn’t realize how big Izzy was” is garbage.

 

[HHJ]

Is that even a question?

 

[HHJ]

He was probably smelling the alcohol on his breath and thinking fuck this drunk idiot is so emotional he could start throwing punches at any moment.

I think he saw that there was nothing good coming from this exchange. He won,Izzy was pissed,life is good.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

I'm surprised ddp didn't punch the cunt with the amount of adrenaline he had pumping through his body after that.
It's probably his most powerful weapon. His mind is calm under stress.

 

[Kumason]

I'm sorry but what a stupid topic this has been and if the threads continue I hope they put all this crap in one thread.

 

[Morris88]

"I am African, but you're no brother of mine"

That was cool as fuck.

 

[michhmoggan]

Ddp was scared

 

[Nabs]

I'm from Congo and share Izzy's pigmentation, but he came off as a fucking idiot in there. DDP did his thing.

 

[Grevor]

DDP by not behaving like a frantic retard.

This.

I was all in for the typical ufc forced face to face challenge between izzy and ddp but as soon as izzy opened his mouth and repeatedly race baited ddp, I was instantly turned off because this is exactly that same attitude and energy that is dividing the masses right now.


The best part of the whole exchange for me was when ddp took the high road and just ignored izzys lasts words, turned around and continued celebrating his victory and taking back the focus because it was his moment, not izzy's. Izzy comes off as an immature child, it always has to be about him.


Ddp was classy while izzy was doing the typical trolling trying to get that sjw social media buzz/clout.


The angle izzy took was pretty disgusting and I'd rather he don't go all cokehead angry again on someone celebrating getting their belt.

Who came off looking better from this optics wise? For me def ddp, someone who I felt lukewarm about before but actually gained my support now due to his performance and the classy way he carried himself.

Izzy looked like a drunk retard. DDP came off like a gentleman.

South African whites are like the last colonials standing. There is very little whoever-this-guy-is can do to look good in any kind of debate with a black descendant of Africa.

I've done a bit of work with some South Africans of a very creamy complexion, and I can tell you first hand that they were indeed intolerable, deplorable racist people. I've met many others as well who I can say the same for. They basically still practice apartheid altho it's been legislatively abolished, like so many things that has absolutely no effect on. But then again, so does New Jersey.

 

[StewDogg11]

“We may both be African but you’ll never be my brother son” was the best line of the whole showdown.

 

[burningspear]

dricus put his foot in his mouth, now he has to answer

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

DDP? Diamond Dallas Page? And now he's a n****r? WTF is going on here?

 

[phenomphan2]

Izzy is always disrespectful to his opponents. Whitaker, Poatan, Costa., Dricus.

Dricus just walked away.

 

[daniel san]

People who go crazy like Izzy did usually have mental problems, it was embarrassing to watch. Being a fan of Izzy must be hard, he tries his best to act like an idiot and is too often in terribly boring fights. Was rooting for him against Poatan just because people underestimated him, but I’m now back to rooting against him until he sobers up and starts acting like an adult.

 

[Bojka]

I just looked up DDP's original quote and here it is:

“Did those belts ever go to Africa?” Du Plessis asked at UFC 285 media day. “As far as I know, they came to America and New Zealand. I’m going to take a belt to Africa. I’m the African fighting in the UFC. Myself and Cameron [Saaiman], we breathe African air. We wake up in Africa every day. We train in Africa, we’re Africa born, we’re Africa raised, we still reside in Africa, we train out of Africa. That’s an African champion, and that’s who I’ll be.”

It's a troll-y remark, but he has a point.

Who is more British, Mo Farah or Colby Covington? Pretty similar as neither were born in the UK, but Mo Farah lives and represents there. There is just a bit of a double standard applied to it. Imagine Colby Covington bringing up 23andme to tell Mo Farah that he's British and Farah isn't.

With regard to the stare down last night, I thought DDP came off as good as possible and Izzy made himself look bad.
