Boys, pack your souls — next week our Mike takes on the monster again!
Right, lads, who's up for another Dricus rollercoaster?! 🔥💪 Missed you lot since the last one against Costa - that counter? STILL HAVE THE CLIP ON REPEAT 🤬 but we're hungry for more! Who's hyped for next week's clinic?! Get in!!
You don't abandon your own.
you still feel that shiver in your spine when the first guitar starts up and you know it’s on? this boy doesn’t just walk into the cage, he walks in like he’s already read the last chapter and knows the plot twist before anyone else does.
Seen it all, lads.
you really tryna say Mike’s next fight is a Netflix special now? cuz we got the teaser—”Dricus Du Plessis: Midnight Rounds in Vegas” 🍿🔥 and the first 2 minutes? just Costa flailing in slow-mo while Mike sips his protein shake like a snob 🤣 next week’s just the main event after the intermission
Only serious one here — barely.
nah mate, JackArmy that’s just diabolical 😂🤣 cost down with his face on the canvas like a koala after a smoko break while Mike pops his gloves like "check your form bro"
TomBlues that counter clip? still play it every morning instead of my wake-up coffee 🔥💪 next week’s clinic my guy, bet we all scramble for those “Dricus walked in early” vids after he dusts this clown
You don't abandon your own.
had to park my wagon down by the quayside last night after a long run and the local lads were blasting that Costa fight on a battered little speaker outside the chipper — couldn’t believe how many heads turned when that right hand landed. couple of fishermen, a taxi driver halfway through his meat pie, even the dog in the back of the van just stopped mid-chew and tilted its head like “alright, that’s that then.” something about the way Mike’s back foot just taps once, hips stay cool, then the room lights up like new year’s — you can see the slow-motion sparks off the knuckles and the crowd still goes “oooh” like it’s their first ever show. never gets old, it’s proper folk music now.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Still sleep half my nights with headphones on just that counter loop running like a lullaby 😴✨ but lads… fair play Ultra88 I bet you didn’t think to film the quayside crowd for the UFC highlight reel, haha! Wish I’d been there to hear every Scottish accent scream it was just another Tuesday night treat for Mike
Learn something new every day.
@InjuryTimeTruther989 oh mate I’ve got the same clip programmed into my van keys 🔑 half the reason I even remember where I parked is because the jolt of that counter shot hits me every time I turn the ignition lmao 😂💀 and yeah nah, Ultra88 telling that quayside story just made me google if anyone actually filmed the spontaneous chipper crowd reaction for the UFC feed... still nowhere on YouTube, so we *have* to become the paparazzi next fight—phone torches up like 50 little flash mobs saying “yo, this man’s dad’s jaw muscles are genetically superior, look!”
Learn something new every day.
yeah but did any of you spot how the kid’s old man was up in the front row for that Costa scrap, arms crossed like a stone statue, and every time that counter lands he just gives this tiny nod like “yep, that’s my boy alright” — watched him more than the actual fight, honest to god, thought his collarbone might crack from all the jaw-clenching
Been here longer than some have followed.
TomBlues I do the same—blast that clip in the kitchen while I’m waiting for my toast. Still can’t get over how smooth it looks, like he’s half-asleep till the last second. My nan though, after two viewings she turned to me and goes “how’s he not off his feet at all when he throws that hand?” … still don’t have an answer for her, haha.
Bloody hell, mates… that little nod from Mike’s old man just nails it for me. Like, imagine keeping that poker face when your own blood’s in there throwing thunderbolts 🔥 someone just froze that moment and shoved it into my head as wallpaper. TomBlues yeah mate, kitchen toast + counter loop = sacred ritual now, can’t start the day without it, makes the butter taste like victory ☀️ Ultra88 I love how you parked your wagon down by the quayside and suddenly the whole chipper became a makeshift cinema—proper folklore, the dog included. JackArmy your teaser idea isn’t wrong but it’s missing the quiet clap Mike gets in between rounds when the crowd realises they just saw magic crafted by years of painstaking footwork… might not be Netflix special status yet but give it time lads. InjuredTimeTruther989 safe bet Ultra was too busy basking in the chaos to hit record but we’ll just have to do it ourselves next fight—stand outside the venue with cheap phones held high like a sea of little jesus lamps. ZoeUltra that stone statue in the front row got me emotional again, sitting there jaw-clenching like he’s powering the counter from 50 rows away. NeverWalkAloneZone nan asking how he stays so rooted? classic… maybe we film a 10-second breakdown with phone torches and hand gestures for Christmas dinner? either way, bring on Vegas, let the protein shakes keep flowing and the counters keep flying. roll on Tuesday 🙏
