  1. Dricus is such a great champ. 185 needed him.

    Willing to fight anyone, doesn't back down from the scary guys. Well spoken, intelligent analysis, humble and straight forward. Admits when guys are a danger to him.

    The only thing that he doesn't do is admit that Sean almost beat him and therefore deserves a rematch. I am a DDP fan, but honestly Sean has come closest to beating DDP so he does deserve the next shot.

    Otherwise, I agree with DDP

  2. we need ddp vs khamzat nobody gives af about sean "pitterpat" strickland he chose to wait out and not fight whittaker so he has nobody to blame but himself if he gets skipped over . do the right thing ufc and book ddp vs khamzat

  3. Nice to see a champ saying give me the best guy, instead of I'll fight whoever the UFC puts in front of me
    The guy is literally calling out Khamzat and Alex

  4. 100% respect to Dricus for wanting the tougher fight, he is the man. But if I was his manager I would be trying to get him to take the tune-up fight (Strickland) and bank a free paycheck as champ, let Khamzat get another win against a high ranked opponent. Then fight Khamzat for super fight money.

  5. Khamzat is very beatable. Is an showed everyone that. A good wrestler with a gas tank is his kryptonite. That being said, I don’t think ddp can stop him. But I would love to watch it.

  6. The problem is that everyone already knows in advance what Khamzat is going to do just like Khabib. no comparison by the way, not yet at least. Yet it seems to be virtually impossible to stop it.

  7. Ddp is growing on me. He’s no nonsense and willing to fight whoever they give him. A lot of champs would have made all sorts of excuses to not take that fight ahead of Strickland

  8. CumShot is definitely the more exciting fight, but Strickland is 100% more deserving and only casuals and religious zealots would favor giving Chimaev the title fight. Sad that it seems the UFC would rather have an authoritarian religious nut who pals around with a murderous dictator as champ than a conservative American who is "politically-incorrect". Funny, the woke MMA media doesn't ask Chimmy what HE (Or Islam, Magomed, etc.) think about women and gays and trans. Hmmm… I wonder why?

  9. Dricus talks such nonsense he can't even keep track himself. The UFC promising Strickland the next title shot should mean nothing, but the UFC promising to headline a South Africa card with Dricus must be honored?
