LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Dricus started as a grappler starting Judo in his teens. He was already a black belt in Judo before he entered his 20s. Him and his two brothers were national Judo champions before they even got into kickboxing and MMA. He also is an elite level Grappler/Judo/Wrestling/BJJ fighter. You can see it in how Dricus did a hip toss throw on a 200+ lbs Whittaker to take him down. Anyone who knows Judo, knows hip toss is extremely hard to execute on a big guy as it requires a lot of explosive power and technique to be successful. He regularly competes in BJJ tournaments against some of the best BJJ teams. Gracie Barra BJJ is one of the best BJJ teams and Dricus went into a tournament against THE WHOLE Gracie Barra BJJ team. Dricus destroyed the entire Gracie Barra BJJ team taking them on one after the other submitting each and everyone of them. His opponents were fresh, but he would take a little rest and come back to take on the next. He went through BJJ martial artists some even bigger than him and submitting them. The guy is an absolute monster.
