Sean Strickland vs Dricus Du Plessis | Dan Hardy Breakdown, The War Room Ep. 298 

Idk I think cannonier is alot more controlled than this guy. Ddp is shot out of a cannon. I see little to no reservation in this dude

They are both powerful switch hitters that like to kickbox. Cannonier might be more controlled, but that isn't always a good thing, and ddp has the td threat to go along with the above mentioned skills@@ahamilton1189

But sean can beat Canonier and got robbed.

No to both of those things.@@omarisawesome1996

The usman fight is irrelevant. That was ages ago. Completely different fighters now.

Exactly!

MMA Guru gets bigger numbers.

bigger numbers doesnt = best in the game@@SatoshiShintoMe

Guru is the new face off the UFC. Dan should reach out to him and try to save his career. Guru is HIM.@@Blast3rrProduction

Mma guru? Fucks that?, he a fighter?

@@SatoshiShintoMewtf? He’s not even close to Dan. What with his emotional, girly, butt hurt analysis.

i feel any fighter at the top level all feel the same during the fight it’s the before that is different i think. like cowboy for example he says he is sick before his fights but by time he is fighting id bet he is ina “fighting state” if you wanna call it that

Mentality in the cage is the biggest factor in who will win the fight. Almost no one has the mental aspects figured out. All fighters talk about this...

Good thought lol

​@beaualoevv Noone expected that. Bad night for Izzy. Good night for Strickland. Dan isn't a seer. He doesn't get it right all the time.

@@beaualoevv And so did basically everyone. He's an analysts. Not a mystic, he used the information and evidence he had.

@@beaualoevv literally the best combination 🤣

Don't assume Dan's gender

Definitely an up dog

@@Rojomanzana438 nothing much

Sean has been training for that blitz his whole camp. Seriously doubt he’s going to be bull rushed.

I’m think DdP stoppage too but maybe 4th rd if it goes distance prob either way imo.

That won't happen. Shaun just batters RDP into submission.. Either Rd 3 or 4

net so

Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie.

Possibly…but it won’t shock the world half as much as when Sean schooled Izzy

Dricus couldn't catch a cold. War Strickland sends your boy home in a plywood box.

Round 1

@@charlesbrown4483Yeah like he's ever knocked anybody out

@@Stevoman123 11 people actually, genius😂

@@charlesbrown4483 well, 4 in the ufc, and you cannot compare dricus to the bottom feeders of the division or abus who just fucking gave up. i'm sure sean can win i just kinda see it going similar way as ngannou rozenstruik

Not against guys with good power the only power puncher besides dricus he's faced in forever his style got him slept by alex power shuts that style down

@@Warpathjak Alex is a much different kind of striker than dricus. Dricus style is very dependent on him over extending and moving forward. Alex caught Sean as he was coming forward with a left hook. Alex can do that all day to anyone he wants to. Dricus isn’t known for that and Sean’s parrying and defensive hand fighting is a lot harder to overcome when he’s closed the gap on you and he’s in your face. Dricus doesn’t fight in the pocket like Sean does and dricus gets hit way more than Sean does.

He’s defense is on another level the stats show it too. Dan called it shit prior to Izzy now, he’s underestimating ddp imo. I think Sean’s TD defense the real ? In this fight.

Hardly gut instinct, its highly likely

Yea I’m surprised he didn’t dig into ddp past fights, when he looks tired he hits another level but Sean can too. Should be epic!

Haha! And props to you for giving respect for Dan’s prop providing prose. Fkn 🤡

Calling Sean an enigma is crazy. He’s got the simplest striking toolbox 😅

Dude, that's the enigma. Has the simplest tools but ultra refined and paired with incredible reflexes and focus so he can stifle someone like Adesanya.

It's crazy how D'Sean landed so much in the head against elite strikers. @@Radjhitoocool

Then rolled over a few minutes there after as I recall? LargePuppy should've never been provoked. Lessons learned.

Reading these comments I was just thinking the same thing.

Which fights exactly? Heavy breathing isn't "gassing" FYI.

Not saying DDP can't win, but DDP hasn't showed us he has incredible cardio.

Yup

GOFYSelf or DixksSean better yet

Biggest recency bias I've ever heard in my life. Strickland use to be called the most boring fight style for a fighter that talks like he's a killer not too long ago. People forget too easily or just pretend it didn't happen.

​@@TheBatosaiis that English? Wtf are you on about?

​@@Ace_Jermaine you're right that a few months ago everyone said D'sean was boring but by god I always liked his fighting style. ❤️

Tf does this comment even mean lol

DDP it's going to knock them out or beat him around for round, it might look like Tony Ferguson and gajthe. Sean looking beat to crap but like Diaz still trying his best

In fairness I'm convinced Strickland will blow this fight 😢 So I'm curious about what he can do to win instead

Ddp late stoppage or sean decision* 😉

the nose surgery must not work because he still trains with mouth WIDE open and even if it worked.....it doesnt give him a good or great gas tank it would just make it not as big of an issue but nobody got a nose surgery and came out with Sean Stricklands cardio I think they forget dricus can still have a sub par gas tank even if his nose works. Especially the body type and style.

I don't think this fight is going five rounds. Either DDP stops him within 2 rounds or Sean gets a TKO in the 4th or 5th.

Uh, yeah he literally said he's taking Stickland and explain the reasons why. This is a fight breakdown video. Are you lost?

You do know that Connonier won by split decision right...

@@kevjz5891 Because he was on his back foot all night. Sean will want to prove something aganist DDP and will push forward. He could easily get clipped like he did against Alex.

@@socialmediaego you cant really compare the way alex sets up his punches to ddp. On top of that Sean does way too much sparing to be all that emotional in the fight.

@@kevjz5891and the one judge that went with Strickland was completely left field. Cannonier won that fight hands down.

I dunno man Strickland does really good on the ground with anka.

I believe that nose crap is a bunch of bullsht... dricus gasses because hes a big huge reckless guy. Will his cardio be better, sure.. but I just don't think it'll be a huge margin.

@@SwampOperator your observation may be considerably more important.

Ddp is not steamrolling sean, get real. Sean can brawl as well

@@user-kf7ov2fi4h Sean’s chin isn’t infallible, a knockout is possible with DDP he had power, the ability to take him down is also there for DDP, DDP doesn’t have a long gas tank though, so yeah I stick to my statements

Yeah, one of them will probably win. Well done.

@@oggyoggy1299 Yes

And everyone forgets he trains at altitude.

He doesn't mention his last fight after the surgery vs Whittaker, which showed a whole lot different DDP that no one has ever imagined.

Well then by that same measure he should mention that whitakker was dealing with an injury but has never complained about them before because he's whittaker

@@Theodore_ML Exactly. How are we calling this stuff out and Dan’s missing it? This breakdown comes off as dated info, in the DDP department. Idk if that’s his bias showing, or if he really just doesn’t know about the thing DC and Joe Rogan couldn’t stop bringing up every 2 minutes in those fights. Maybe he was watching those replays with the sound off, lol.

He did mention it. And Dricus did not dominate from the start to the end. Whittaker was winning the first 4 minutes of round 1.

@@jimmyrodriguez5670Please watch the fight again, DDP even took Rob down in the first round and if there was more time he would have finished him too.

Khamzat takes backs like that because he's a 1 round threat. He usually gets it, but when he dont he's screwed. Sparring is not fighting.. You can wrestle and grapple 100 percent in sparring where it's usually not like that with striking. And even in hard sparring most people wear headgear. Also khamzat may be taking his back. But dont you think they were doing that for a reason.. you think sean might have learned a thing or two?? Dricus DuPlessis isn't khamzat. Dricus DuPlessis isn't poatan

@@SwampOperator "Also khamzat may be taking his back. But dont you think they were doing that for a reason.. you think sean might have learned a thing or two??" The reason I brought that up is because I assumed they trained MMA based on what Khamzat said, and I know both of these guys train like they fight. There's a reason why even Strickland's best friend, Curtis, doesn't sparr with him. My point with the comments is that I didn't know where Strickland's takedown defense was because no one wrestles at MW anymore (until recently). The last time his wrestling was tested before this fight was against Usman in WW in which he failed, but that doesn't mean anything because it was a long time ago against one of the best mma wrestlers. Anyway now way I know his TD is good, DDP was deep and unpredictable with some of those attempts, but he defended most of them, and he knows how to get up.

Don't go quiet.

@@charlesbrown4483 I won't

@@Just_JasonZA Yeah, just like when your boy ducked Izzy and all you African fanboys went into hiding for months lmaoooo

@@charlesbrown4483 I was pretty stoked for that period, who takes a championship fight 6 weeks after fighting possibly the toughest fight in Middle weight. Would you be able to do it?

@@charlesbrown4483 good fight dude was much closer then I thought it would be. But now they know what we know

Sean and his camp have been training for that blitz the whole camp. I doubt he gets caught.
