its a 50/50 fight IMO

All depends on what condition and mindset izzy is in. We know what DDP is gonna do - bokke rugby style MMA... ugly but effective.

if dricus can keep it tight for the 1st 2 rounds, Izzy will fade and we get a descision (hopefully for DDP)

The other side of the coin is DDP comes in too reckless and gets counterpunched and KO'd the way bobby knuckles did.

its also been a long time since izzy has fought, so that will also be a factor.

I also think its 50/50. Depends which Adesanya shows up, the best version of him could beat DDP but the version we have seen recently wont stand a chance. Its fully possible that he has pulled himself together, then it will be a tough match.

If not then DDP will pull him apart. He is just getting into his stride, his timing is weird and I don't know if Adesanya has a plan for that yet.
I'm hoping it goes to ground and izzy gets his first necklace. It will be incorrect if DDP lets the fight stand up

I am unsure if Izzy will get a TKO / knockout against DDP. Always possible, but I think it is less likely, a decision win is probably a bit more likely, but to get a decision win against someone who is aggressive and will keep striking and going, is hard.
Izzy needs to be fast in this fight, he hasnt looked particularly quick lately and his movement I think is going to be key for him winning. Managing distance, countering and hitting in the moving in and out. His TDD is good, but with him having to be in a very high level of movement, I think he is likely to struggle covering a take down later as the stress of the fight soaks in.

I think DDP trying to take his head off might be a problem, if he is reckless, a prime izzy would pick him off and cause some damage, who knows which izzy shows up.

My guess for the fight would be DDP getting tagged a fair bit in the first 2 rounds and then the fight starts favouring DDP from then on. Constant walking down pressure, more take down attempts from round 3, and eventually a ground finish (although I would like DDP to catch him with a solid strike and ground and pound a win)

I'm starting to think that way as well, most likely is a slug fest with a contentious decision at the end.
Drikus's magic will be on the ground, if he can get there.
 
Anyone know which internation channel would be showing the Drikus fight Sunday? ESPN? Fox Sports? Etc.

Not sure but I found this,


" How can I watch it?

The card will air live on TNT Sports in the UK, with the broadcaster’s app and website also streaming the fights. Discovery+ will also air the action in the UK. In the US, ESPN+ will stream the event live, as will the UFC’s Fight Pass.

I might be totally off here, but this gives me Connor vs Aldo vibes. By the end Aldo was ready to murder Connor and that cost him. Jirr Imagine DDP hooks ol Izzy within the first 30 seconds.
 
DDP should have just said: "Listen I know you have a thing for animals, but searching naked teen boys, come on man..."
