Here's the essence and probably the most quoted/retweeted bit.

Strickland says how it is. He already won in my eyes Grin

Hope he doesn't get arrested for "hate" speech or something. There's no free speech pretty much anywhere outside of the US.

But it's also good to see these guys act nice with each other before a match. The McGregor routine is getting old now.

I just watched a live pre-fight conference. Sean said it was never personal and they both shook hands on the agreement to fight to the death or something. It was nice.

In terms of odds, I'm leaning towards DDP. Strickland made it clear he's going there to brawl and will keep pressing forward, which is not a smart tactic for him. Dricus is visibly much bigger and stronger than him so he should be focussing on utilising his cardio advantage. Hopefully his team will talk some sense into him before the fight.

He got to say such a thing now that he is a champion but with no remorse to the interviewee, but he likes to really say what he wants to say, and I think there is a sense to what he is implying, for sure that is just how Strickland on how he approached such issue,

I am more of thinking that Strickland wants to brawl in a more defensive way for sure he will not be getting into Dricus Du Plessis's all-out war on him without that proper knowledge about his opponent for he already be thinking of ways on how he can clobber Dricus, but I think he still be going with his Defense style I think I will lean on towards Sean Strickland in this fight,

If that is his game plan, then we would have a new champ soon Cheesy

Dricus is a hard punches that blocks all incoming punches with face. Going in punch exchange with him is a suicide. It is even possible that DDP could survive Pereiras left punch Cheesy

Frankly I can stop being amazed by DDP techniques or better say lack of it Cheesy

He is kind of guy who has pre-loaded all kind of skills, but use them randomly. He wins due to strong chin and his opponents being "who would have done this?" lag all the time. Seriously, who opens a punching combo with low kick? Who blocks one punch (lets say left hook) with both hands in block? Cheesy

For sure Dricus Du Plessis has the power to knockout Sean Strickland so it is
