He brought up DDP discrediting the "three kings" of the time in which DDP made those statements about being the only African born fighter doing things big in the UFC or whatever.

@@d.n.e7454 Sorry my delay awsering this. I my opinion the reason being this decision is becase in fact there is a huge number of fans beind adesanya's brand, this kind of fans that come from naruto genaration and anime stuff, and they want to see him fight just because of this "style bender" brand that he did very well building in the start of is MMA carrer. But those fans are not fans of the sport really... And I explain why here: he had a nice brand he was winning that was fine but when he started losing he wasn't humble digesting those losses, he said a lot of crap to the point he was only making himself look more like a clown rather than a style bender.... He was not honest with him self and he keeps not being honest with him self just from the fact that he wanted this fight instead of griding that spot again like any other fighter should. Know Alex Pereira his main rival is a big name and a bumig star and the fact that he has a win against Alex in a match that seemed very strange to me, they are giving that opportunity to Adesanya out of the back of Alex work and merit, like being carried to an imidiate title shot just because he once beat Alex the champion of the division above, and I repeat just to give those not real fans, the anime fans something to make some PPV points on a undeserved fight at all.

Ariel, let me spell it out for you, cause CLEARLY you lack the ability to comprehend some things. DDP lives in a developing country with very limited and underdeveloped resources. He does not have access to world-class training facilities, coaches, or financial support. This is a significant achievement for him and all South Africans. He managed to reach the top without the resources available in first-world countries. This accomplishment is not about race; it is about his rightful pride in overcoming his disadvantages to reach the top (out of South Africa which is a underdeveloped country). This was never about race - but you and so many others out there made it about race.

Heated? Barely. It was very respectful for the most part. Lol. Click bait.

The last dogbender is boring af. Je can strike tho but if ddp take it to the ground he will ragdoll him. That face down was weird af. This fight is not for me.

Gee there are so many whingers in the world. To do his job, like all of them, ariel needs to stoke the embers and fan a little flame. And amping it up, such as pulling up the walk and reflect clips. Nice work.
