My thing either leave politics out of sport, Some people want to pick & choose when it's ok.

This Unique SA fighting style is the Mystical "Moer-hom-net-en-kry-klaar" style. It demands immediate and punctual brutality. The fighter that possesses this hidden technique, is guaranteed to deliver a KNOCKOUT blow in a timely manner, so that more pressing matters can be attended to , for example the acquisition and consumption of some chop and dop , or who is allowed the tongs on Braai Day. If aggregevated, the level of the hidden technique can be escalated to the "Fok-Hom-Heeltemal-Op" stage, which SAVAGENESS entails the complete evisceration of the opponent on a molecular level Dricus "I'm the one who Knocks" Du Plessis - 🚪👊🏻🇿🇦😈🔥

It was the 'unfamiliar ' in his own words that makes him dangerous.

I wouldn't fight on Adesanya terms I'd make him wait or fight Shawn Strickland in 9weeks , he's already living rent free in Izzy's head so no need to rush

Hope Dricus takes a proper rest and fights Izzy at a fairer time, fighting in 9 weeks after coming out of of big training camp is going to be tough on the body and I don’t think they’ll be starting the fight with the same level of juice in the tank.
