Completely agree, this guy has the nerve to say that because he's black he's a true African when there are plenty of white people who are African not to mention how he goes from representing Nigeria to New Zealand to China on a dim. It's straight up racist and hypocritical from Adesanya trying to paint Dricus as racist, bringing up race when it was never brought up in the first place while simultaneously demeaning white Africans. If the roles were reversed and a white man was to say that because he's white he's a true African the media would be on it in a day. The only way I can describe it is straight up double standards and it's disgusting. Seriously hope Dricus humbles Adesanya by knocking him clean out onto the canvas for his hypocrisy.

Everyone doubts DDP but then when he succeeds there is disappointment, online arguments, excuses from losers, and not enough credit to him from the fanbase. He is a true, cold-blooded, African warrior and he has made all South Africans proud. He is the champion and will be a force to be reckoned with. We are a top sporting nation and he understands the importance of upholding that.

@@MR_JESKPLAYS A UFC video is not the place to discuss that and I think very lowly of you if that is what springs to your mind when you think of my people. I will say that literature also reveals how some, not all, Dutch settlers arrived on arid land where agriculture was deemed impossible by Indigenous peoples - it was of no use to them or their livestock because they couldn't graze or grow crops. Indigenous communities were also nomadic in nature, this due to large differentiation in agricultural methodology. I highly encourage you to do further research into the subject and you might find evidence that shockingly contradicts the idea that all settlers were ruthless, violent, land-stealing colonizers, as you sadly have been led to believe. I also encourage you to research the incidents of Indigenous and Dutch populations co-existing, namely through trade and temporary alliances. I also believe when you go looking for the dark history you will find it but you should also acknowledge the instances where it wasn't as criminal as you make it seem. Please educate yourself before assuming things about people, especially within a topic of conversation where misinformation can be very damaging. - Jou ma se poes!

An aweful showing of bobby, he just looked off that night, I hope to see them go again, both at peak. Not saying knuckles beats stilknox, when both are flow state, but I'd love to see the better version of that fight. I'd also like to see him and sean go again, but with dricus in the role I gave bobby; that definitely wasn't Dricus best night, and I felt sean got robbed/you call it a draw and belt holder retains. Not complaining tho, he showed him and sean could trade the belt 3 of 5 times, and sean vs knuckles looks very possible after reapers showing tonight, while dricus and izzy finally dance. Also, I want izzy vs sean part 2. izzy has grown inconsistent, whether due to age, or taking a break from his cycles, and if he fights sean again, looking peak, it could go very differently. Division is real exciting right now, if Borz makes an appearance, and shows well, all the better. Bullet needs a placement fight too

Fine we are white but my family and people has been in africa for 500 odd years and have developed as their own culture as africans because we are. And then to have a man who picks and choses his culture like israel disrespecting our entire culture because of skin. Disgusting he is not african, he has african descent but he never lived there, he is new zealander and chose to make it a problem of race versus a man who brings it home to africa. Saying dricus is not african because of his skin disrespects my entire culture my father who was born and lived in africa as the 16th generation of our line is somehow not african, it is just gross for izzy to say.

So strange that Izzy brought skin color into it, allways so fast to point to something that has nothing to do with DDPs comments.

He's now beaten Izzy. So what are the haters going to say now?
They cling on to the gay champ hate which is so immature. I suppose MMA is filled with meat heads so I guess it really doesn’t surprise me how insecure much of the fan base is.

What a ridiculous lying comment. You people are so shameless. Imagine completely twisting the entire narrative as if it wasn't your fellow wht brethren Du Plessis that had the nerve to say three INDIGENOUS African men aren't Africans. Yet you LIE and then reverse the whole thing. Quote where Adesanya said Du Plessis isn't an African. I DARE YOU.

@@dewalddewet759 I couldn't respond to your reply so I'll do it here. how is that racist exactly? It shouldn't offend you to hear factual historical events, only then can people come together. Stop denying it, and acting like it wasn't forceful colonization and many decades of racist social institutions (the remains of which exist today since there was never a reprimand to begin with). Racists are usually disingenuous and deceitful, and they rely on false events and misconstruing of facts to fit a narrative. I hope you arenxt projecting

I am South African & I support Dricus 100%. We are the Rainbow Nation. Anyone who is South African that achieves Greatness in their own right on the world stage, no matter their skin colour or background. We stand behind them. Lets not make this a rational thing. Europeans colonized Africa, I acknowledge that, but we can't keep on holding on to the past by focusing on things thats deviding us.
