Good job fellas. I’m a little more fired up now for the fights this weekend. Let’s get those shoes ready. Cheers 🔥🔥🍺🍺
DDP 🔥
You should understand what the South African population is in Perth Australia. There's more South Africans in Perth than in DDP's hometown Pretoria. Also, there's an International Rugby match between South Africa and Australia also in Perth on Saturday. The crowd will be green and gold and heavily favor DDP.
Adesanya can’t be humble, recently he was saying his family had to “ flee “ Nigeria, that is the biggest lie. He comes from a privileged background and if he was such a great African why is he not living in Nigeria. DDP needs to show him how he abandoned his so called “ king “ 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
DDP is wrong for saying he would be the first real African champ because of Francis being that first. He brought his belt back to Africa and invested in his region. 1. DDP has genealogy that would place him as ‘not African’ even though I disagree with that type of ‘science’ deduction. 2. DDP is claiming that his part of Africa would be the best in Africa, as no other region could yet support the development of a UFC champ. This would mean he disrespectfully disregards the benefits held by South Africa that other African countries have been denied because of the African continent being farmed. His ‘I’m no brother of yours’ line summed up how wrong he was. He didn’t identify with the struggle of the average African fighter who has to travel overseas to get good development.
