Im rooting for this dude he comes to fight all the time and as fan who loves the sport thats all i can ask…..appreciate watching you fight brutha💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
As a South African and a Dricus fan i am so happy to see him sign with Blockasset. They continue to bring fans and athletes closer together.

This is just the beginning, my friend. Blockasset made its mark on MMA. They signed with more than 30 athletes.
So glad Dricus our SA boy representing….. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻and a nice guy!
Dankie Dricus! Keep making us proud! I'm really hoping you RNC the next guy. Hope it's Trailblazer.
Yesss bokkie! Well done from a proudly South African 👏 👍 🙌
What a classy guy
Dricus needs to never rush forward again, he's mad if he thinks that'll work in the UFC against tougher opposition. Well done Dricus but please be clever

yeah his chin was waaaay to high, you can tell first round he was looking for the k.o... way too wild

A southpaw counter striker with power like Kelvin can definitely KO him seeing how high he leaves his chin. Should be a very good fight either way

Dricus could have so easily gotten knocked out in the first rounds and we all would have been sour...that fight was like a flip of the coin, Dricus pressed the simulation button and hoped for the best.

watch his old fights he doesn’t fight like that regularly bruh
Give this man a step-up in competition
This was a very entertaining fight and sure put this man on my radar and fights to see 👍
I hope Dricus become UFC champion one day. South Africa will go wild my Bru!!! 💯💯💯
I really enjoy watching this guy
Very wild and reckless from Dricus, as a fan of his if he keeps fighting like that then someone is definitely gonna KO him sooner rather than later, I hope he sorts out his defense as well as his stand-up and movement but nonetheless I'm so happy that he got the job done. Let's go 🔥🇿🇦

he looked good, was pressing forward & really loading up with every strike, looked like he may gas out early & was mouth breathing after the 1st round. But at the end didnt really seem to be that tired, that's just how he fights I guess. He's got potential & gastelum owes him a fight after the previous cancellation.

i get u.. 1st round seemed a bit rushed and he seemed too excited, but i guess thats what makes dricus exciting to watch..yes, he does need to tighten the defence and maybe start off a bit more calculated

Super exciting fighter to watch, exposive and entertaining!
Like the boe tie!!
Duplesis is a legit and reckless fighter by the time he will get better and better with experience. Definitely looking forward to his next fight south Africa your boy will make through in top 15 on upcoming Tuesday.
Controlled chaos. Enjoy watching you fight 🇿🇦

Dricus needs to get revenge for Soldier Boy over Costa! Dfricus needs to relax and stop rushing his opps! Hes gona walk into a fist like that! Dricus has so much potential but he needs to smooth off those rough edges man, hes been in this game long enough to not make the silly mistakes he makes. Come on Boytjie!
well done Dricus.. hope u get a top 10 opponent next
Lekker Dricus, ons hou duim vas vir jou yster!!!

I'm all in for backing Dricus, but think he is rushing it. He can easily do another 4-5 fights, get himself established, before chasing the big game. Losing now will do a lot more damage to his career, than taking a year longer to get a title fight.
I think DDP should take on Till next
I like the way his fight worth for what fans pay for

I think 2 or 3 more fights against fringe opponents before going top 10. Not because he isn't talented, but he needs to gain experience. Lunging forward won't work against the top 5. Well done dricus, keep pushing

@@hen3287 He fights based on opponent, watch how he fought against Soldic he was cautious
He has got hart ,but lacks some skills and show some weaknesses in round 1, rushes his moves and a slick opponent will surely take him out,he needs to calm down.
good performance, but... keep that chic tucked when blitzing like that
Die man is yster, maar hys bietjie te haastag,moet meer Slimmer feg,moet bietjie bykom tegnies gesproke🤔
the man is bruised up and was in a tug of war with brad tavares no disrespect to brad he is a warrior. whittaker finished brad and left without a scratch israel pieced brad up and turned it into a sparring session i believe dricus would struggle with the top 10 fighters nevermind top 5
