Dricus whole point is to show the people of Africa that it’s possible for them to live and train in Africa and become the champion there instead of residing in the states or New Zealand like other African champs have done

He's just lucky he's from south Africa where people actually train MMA, he too would have left a country like Nigeria or Cameroon if he was born there if ever he wants to go into MMA, things are changing now though because of what Kamaru is doing for the MMA community in west africa currently

Stop hating mate, nobody said is not possible ok, those that relocated did it because they were opportune to relocate, some were by their parents and others through hardships. Him, doing it from South Africa is no different is because he got the opportunity to do it too. Advised him to respect and recognize those African fighters and Champions that were there and who did it before him. instead of him thinking and feeling like a colonial masters
😮 Bro , dricus predicted 2nd round , he is the new mystic mAc 😮😮
At first I thought he was being arrogant, but it’s simple facts, he lives in Africa, trains in Africa and will be taking the belt to Africa, so it’s fitting to call him an African champion
The man actually manifested a second round finish like he said here 🙌

Shout out to Adam for a great interview. Clearly a huge fan, does his research and always manages to have a great back and forth with all the fighters, comes across as one of the boys off camera but always professional on 👍
I didn’t know how to take him at first but the more I’ve watched him and listened to him I can’t help but have respect for him and like him. For me if he can beat Whittaker who is 100% number two at middleweight then we may have a great rivalry in the making because this guy is definitely young, hungry and brings something different than what Adesanya has faced up to now

not exactly the same. Leon was born in Jemaica and moved to London, whereas Dricus was born in South Africa and likely has heritage dating back to the first settlers in the 1800s. It's a low blow for Izzy to mention colonialism when he moved to New Zealand which is still regarded as a dominion within the British empire.

I like DDP, first of all he speaks with deep intelligence and knowledge, as a fighter his style is positively interesting, I must that when people in America and England in particular are remarking on African particularly, they don’t think their views need to be properly accessed, because, after all is African, even black from America think Africa is very inferior, ok, now what DDP said is very thinly dangerous and decisive, due to the situation South Africa has found it self in the past, I believe he’s African like other African black, brown, and what ever else is has there,
DDP is untouchable

If Drikus wasn’t gonna be a fighter he was gonna be lawyer, he is talking way wisely for a fighter who get punched in the head for living 🤔 well spoken an genuine but warrior in the cage

Yeah he didn't say the words "more African"... he said, "I want to be the first real African champ"... We can all pretend like we don't understand why indigenous Africans would take that the wrong way or we can ask Du Plessis to stop acting indignant and just tidy up the statement.
Bro changed what he said he said I’ll be the first African champion that is not a fact
