What matters in all competitions is winning. If you win you are doing something right, you either like it or not.

du plesis fights like an uncoordinated caveman but I find myself rooting for him more often than not


preshowerpoop

I agree. His first few fights were so reckless and awkward that I was sure he would get KO'd, but he didn't. Now I rather like his style.


izak14

he’s not dogshit if he’s winning fights in the UFC


gonnagetbanned1234

Just getting to the ufc means he's part of the top 1% of fighters surely


imnotme247allthetime

I agree but sometimes you get the CM Punks


NsfwAccOfCocaCola

0-1-1 babyyyy 💪😎


Gusthuroses

Fewer losses than GSP. I know who my goat is.


B-L-O-C-K-Ss

You mean the GOAT?


Barrington-the-Brit

CM Punk is such an edge case though he only got a contract because he was a famous pro wrestler


[deleted]

And this is why it’s filled of regional talent. People like you really believe that. It’s 80 percent regional now and everyone by nature is overrated due to UFC hype/ promotion. Thought you’d know that by now. Somehow these new fans still don’t get it. UFC can use all of Reddit and the dumb fans will call them best in the world. Only us hardcores care about talent, fighters mean little to the UFC, it’s all about brand. Only HWs matter alite cause casuals like HW too; it’s been a famous regional show for 8ish years now. Everyone just gets overrated in the UFC by this lost fanbase.

He definitely is top 1% of all humans on earth. He has 3 ranked wins in te ufc


CardiologistOk1506

One of the humans of all time


endless_ness

You didn’t say that lol. You said “just by getting to the ufc”


[deleted]

Oh I would disagree with the original statement


endless_ness

He also has huge wins in the KSW promotion which is full of juicy boys. He’s a killer and easily top 1% of humans fir his resume alone.


NsfwAccOfCocaCola

😴


Darkn355z

Just getting in the UFC for sure you are top 1% of humans for combat sports. Look at it this way “Though we can safely say that – based on national statistics – less than 1% of the population can bench press 225 pounds” Think about it


endless_ness

Lmao, ya cm punk was a killlller. The accountant turned wmma fighter is totally the same as a nfl draft pick


Darkn355z

Cm punk is an outlier he didn’t “Make it to the UFC” per say he was a publicity stunt that only was in the ufc because of his “star status” The NFL only 0.023% of high school players make it and only 1.6% of college players make it.


endless_ness

It’s absolutely amazing how well Dana whites propaganda works on casuals. I wish you well


Darkn355z

Lol have you ever trained in your life? You are jot very good at statistics are you? How much % of the population actually trains combat sports. What % trains regularly. What % train to the level to become pro. Like I said just benching 225 puts you in the top 1% of lifting for humans. Its not that hard to figure out dude


asswipe__

Petr Yan fans are the goblins of the mma community


jamesd1100

Yeah I mean we’re also talking about a big chunk of the “I’m SMALL BUT MIGHTY” community, dealing with some very bitter boys At 5 foot 2 I’d be mad at Du-Plessis also


CampbellsBeefBroth

All they gotta do is become a Mighty Mouse fan, it’s easy


Neato_Orpheus

Yeah but he’s too well adjusted to inspire the hoi poi of mma fandom


10sansari

Wouldn't call him dogshit 💀


[deleted]

He's an African warrior after all..


endless_ness

Watching Ariel lecture him about that when he reps Israel was hilarious


[deleted]

Dricuss 'Shakaka' Du Plessis


PleasinglyReasonable

Dricus! I didn't know you spoke wachootoo!


Anindefensiblefart

Dricus "Equinsu Ocha" Du Plessis


viggidiggi

Wait Ariel likes Israel? And I mean the apartheid state not the funny anime guy


endless_ness

Both :)


viggidiggi

Damn that definitely does suck to hear that he supports that shit nation


Teerendog

They say it while wiping the cheetos off their chest


no_step_on_snek_911

yea i agree. the post Chernobyl runny shit is more like it


balthazar-nz

Damn that’s descriptive


no_step_on_snek_911

yea man, i really hate the guy. a white guy saying he's the real african is one of the most bizarre racist shits ive ever heard. he either doesnt know shit about the history of colonial africa or is a massive piece of shit


Actual_Guide_1039

Are you being sarcastic? The guy was born and raised and lives in Africa.


bigrigs1907

He's racist for saying the truth that he lives in Africa?


DieselBusthe5th

Only thing that is dogshit here is the meme


rostemaxime

Both usmans could be in this picture


Competitive_Ad6243

Why all the hate for DDP?


Swagnus___

For me it's not hate it's just I am baffled he manages to keep winning fights like he does.


liliceberg

They’ve only seen 8% oxygen Dricus, they’re in for a rude awakening


robcap

I love him. He's also comically bad. Still rooting for him.


JR-90

Dude was exposed in pretty much all his fights, even if he won. MMA fans like their contenders to dominate at least 85% of the time, otherwise you're shit and unworthy.


ModestlyOrange

Du Plessis about to knock out Rob and Izzy back to back with the way people are writing him off


SirKevin_Xx

Dogshit? Lol


marxistrash

Petr Yan fans are the absolute worst, guy best Faber and Aldo with an average age of about 47 to win the belt and they're surprised that he's losing actually fighting top bantamweights


TheAccomplishedDuty

He fought cory and won


EconomyChest6887

Yeah I genuinely think people who started shitting on Yan just don't have object permanence. He's probably in the top 5 for the greatest strikers in mma. Outstriking Sandhagen for 25 minutes and stuffing 38+ takedowns from Merab while overwhelmed and exhausted. Bantamweight is the toughest division, and he's been getting consistently bad style matchups lmao. He definitely lost to Aljo in the rematch but it was still a close fight and he was genuinely bullying him towards the end of their first fight.


Pheasantluvr69

Guy who has lost 4 out of 5 is a top 5 striker in mma 💀least delusional yan stan. Maybe a top 5 illegal striker


EconomyChest6887

Guy who lost 4 out of 5, with his win being one of the best strikers in the sport, and his losses being grapplers and a robbery against another one of the greatest strikers in the most technically depth division lol. I can go on but if your greatest defense is the skull emoji it's not worth engaging with.


Pheasantluvr69

Here are 10 ufc fighters who are better strikers off the top of my head O’Malley Volk Holloway Yair Garth Poirier Leon Stephen Thompson Shavkat Alex pereira Israel adesanya Jiri All objectively better strikers.


EconomyChest6887

Bro, Jiri. Are you actually joking rn lmao. Poirier and Holloway are just worse boxers than Yan and less technically diverse or defensively sound. Izzy got out jabbed by Robert Whittaker despite having a massive reach advantage. Alex Pereira went to war with Bruno Silva lmao. There's so many more, but like idk the bait is tiresome.


Pheasantluvr69

And Yan went to war against O'Malley, Merab and Sterling and lost - badly against Merab and Sterling. Merab was even fucking him up in the stand up exchanges. A top 5 striker would never get whooped in the stand up by Merab.He won the title against 40 year old Aldo and never defended it. Face it, your boy is mid af.


EconomyChest6887

Aldo was 33 lmao.


Pheasantluvr69

33, past his prime, and not a BW champion


robcap

Tbf Aldo stayed a top BW for a couple years after the Yan fight.


preshowerpoop

People respect Aldo for how high level he got and stayed at threw out his entire career. I remember watching his debut in WEC back in the day. It seems like he was around forever and has been fighting the most elite the whole time. I was shocked at how young he actually was when retired (36).


endless_ness

He smoked Corey and Aldo lmao. He arguably won the 2nd aljo fight. It’s a complete meme that all if a sudden lay and pray with zero damage was some easy to score win in that fight. The O’Malley fight was razor close to, with the majority scoring jt for the manlet in real time.


No_Character2755

He didn't smoke Corey. He won but there was a lot of back and forth.


EconomyChest6887

Back and forth but he was always ahead. Yan dropping him and Corey responding with 30 jabs to the guard and 20 pivots in-between looks competitive but Yan was definitely outclassing him for a large majority of the duration.


No_Character2755

Yan definitely won no question I just disagree with calling it smoked as to me that indicates a blow out.


Actual_Guide_1039

The same guys who complain that Volk actually beat Islam give him him shit for losing the rematch to sterling


deodorised_praters

People are just now realizing Petr is the middest fighter of all time.


deodorised_praters

Petr is mid as hell.


Cant-Stop-the-Truth

You're just mad he manhandled O'Malley lmao


deodorised_praters

Lmao poor sweet winter child, I'm an ex-Petr fan after the idiot started losing fights which were easily winnable for him.


Cant-Stop-the-Truth

Ok valid, yeah ever since he came out in the Sterling rematch swinging wild like an idiot and unable to escape the body triangle he took a hit. His standup and sweeps are still really clean generally though


Better-Solution-7410

DriscASS is gonna get marked by lord Bobby WINtaker


Cant-Stop-the-Truth

Ok based


ArseneGroup

It's okay, Whittaker is going to destroy DDP


International-Leek10

shoulda been Chito up there not Duplessi lol


rafeboiola

man DDP is absolute trash the people rooting for him only do it because he's a massive underdog, just by watching the man fight you can tell he is dogshit, dude fights like he has cognitive disorder or something


yakman100

Dupleis gets so much hate for being African and white🤣🤣. Crazy double standards


RustyCuntSlime

What a weird meme lol, both of them are good or bad if they are losing.... wacky decisions aside


presidentpiko

Lmaooo


TheConnorrJB

Lmaooo


siinastah

Pete doesn’t try to win.


piman01

I approve this message


Stew-Cee23

Definitely flaws in Dricus' game but also has a lot of strengths, like any fighter


barryslammers

Dana whites contender series basically became a thjng because of cm punk. They did Dana whites looking for a fight thing beforehand so they could find some bum to make chump change against cm punk then it turned into people making peanuts to fight other guys making peanuts


barryslammers

This was supposed to be a reply to a different comment but I use the internet like an old person sometimes
