Dricus about to take the fight to the ground and do what Marvin Vettori tried unsuccessfully in the third round of his title shot. You cannot be a purple belt under Galvao and your only resources be to pray that your opponent makes a mistake or that the clock runs out when you are in bottom position.

Dricus did head and arm throw Robert Whittaker and Whittaker is an all time great for grappling defence

Also Izzy being 1-2 in his last 3, don’t think he’s in his prime anymore , those guys loses and it don’t end well for them

Dricus Du Plessis,KO
Dricus in the 2nd round bum rushes adesanya, takes him down, gets mount and rains down punches and puts the hentai freak to sleep. That or dricus gets caught aljo style and put out via tko.

Du Plessis vs. Adesanya
Dricus Du Plessis, SUB, R1
Adesanya went his entire career without being properly tested with someone who has effective takedowns and submission ability. This will be the first. Du Plessis is not dumb, he will go for takedowns and get them easily. Dricus will win via sub or chinning immediately.

This ☝🏼

Adesanya may have fought Brunson and Whittaker in the past, but both of them mainly had striking gameplans (especially Robert) and were not very effective in finding submissions. Before practicing Kickboxing, DuPlessis started with Judo and during his time at EFC Worldwide and KSW he stood out for knowing when to take fights to the ground and win mostly by submission. Dricus even beat an entire South African Gracie-Barra team only by himself in a Quintet type competition. Despite standing out for his KO power, DDP will undoubtedly be the opponent with the most effective submission offense that Adensanya has ever faced.

Duck

Yes, Maybe for based his fighting style in strenght, many of Dricus' transitions and takedowns attempt may look a little cartoonish but everyone can clearly see that he has a refined technique in takedowns and clear strategies in his submission attempts (especially in the last minute of Round 1 in the first fight against Soldic).

Adesanya has no chance on the ground against Dricus. Dricus as an underdog is easy money in any parlay.

When Du Plessis has defended his title eight times, I'll be impressed.  When he KOs Izzy, I'll be impressed.  Until then, he's just a dude who won a splitty over Sean Strickland.

True, 
@Joshjeffords 
  If that Izzy shows up against Dricus, he's going to have another bad night, probably another decision.  I don't think he'll take the fight, though, if he doesn't think he can win.

okay Izzy to start can pick ddp apart on the feet we have seen countless times how sloppy ddp gets but he continues to win because he either lands the power shot or finds the takedown this is a terrible matchup for ddp izzy can continue to pick ddp apart at range and stuff his takedowns break his nose the same way strickland did and ko him with a hard body shot or anderson silva type ko on forrest griffin
