Honestly Im not sure if DDP will be ready for that card, but I assume since hes kinda forced, that he will comply.
But Id rather that this card is Izzy vs Strickland and then, since Izzy should win that one without much damage, we get Izzy vs DDP in Africa for something like 297 to make it even more crazy. Once he wins that he can look to LHW with maybe Alex in the picture or maybe Khamzat or Aliserkerov make statements at MW, but we'll see.

I want to see Stickland beat a top 5 guy before getting a shot, Dricus just beat Whitaker while Stickland just beat some jabroni who only fight 5 minutes, Giving Strickland a title shot wil be a tragedy for the sport 

You beat the number 2 guy you get the shot, that it

I didnt say he didnt deserve it, I just said I dont think he will be ready or should feel forced into a title fight on this card without enough preparation. Of course he deserves it over Strickland, so if he feels he can fight on this card, fine, just dont know if it will work out that way and offered a different scenario.

I agree with that, The UFC was stupid doing a UFC PPV card in Australia  so close to Volk fight and the number 1 contender fight for Izzy weight class, move this card to October or December,  Bet they could of done Izzy vs Dricus, Volk vs Topuria double header and sell way more tickets

Same thing as doing the "big mexican card" in Las Vegas instead of Mexico, Thought Dana wanted the Mexican market

Dricus could definitely be ready for this card, took very little damage inside of the actual fight itself.

But I do agree that I would want more time before fighting Adesanya if I'm DDP.

No

This guy is everything wrong with MMA, coming into the cage calling the guy a ni..... I mean this dude literally was like yo this 5 year old kid mocked me I'ma remember that, he lost to Alex 3 times acted like he won the whole thing with his victory even though he needed oxygen to recover from his knockout loss to Alex in kickboxing. 

He's got no ground game, he's never submitted anyone, the great Anderson Silva and the fact that people rate him as the GOAT is disgusting. Anderson Silva is the greatest middle weight of of all time in the UFC. There is no doubt, he could **** you up on the feet with muay thai, boxing, and if you took him down he had great BJJ. 

Israel is nothing like this, I mean he's the exact opposite in what you want as a fighter. I hope DDP puts hims out COLD. Probably not gonna happen though.

I am willing DDP the better man to win statistics are favorable too, he hits like a truck Izzy will be afraid of him and he is insanely strong and brutal in grappling.
Pretty fast too at 185 great pressure weird movement unpredictable striking.
He is the worst matchup for Izzy just don't know he is ready.

LOL if Da UN didn't move like constipated ODDSBOT he would be fairly good but he is slower than the average tapper.

I voted for Dricus to KO Rob and everyone mocked me.
I will once again stand by my fellow South African and ride this bandwagon till the wheels fall off.

Myself I said I could see a tiny chance for upset thought could be one of the biggest non title upaets.
Rob has been cracked Ddp hits like a mother and unorthadox.

To anyone complaining about Dricus starting a race war even though he referring to nationality Izzy literally said the exact same thing to Rob on route to their first fight. 
Only Difference is Rob wasn’t bothered by it.
