Cocaine Bear? Nah, cocaine chimps.
Final Combating Championship (UFC) Middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis and former Middleweight kingpin Sean Strickland will run it again in precisely one month (Sat., Feb. 8, 2025) in the primary occasion of UFC 312, which can go down inside Qudos Financial institution Area in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
As we speak (Weds., Jan. 8, 2025), throughout UFC Vegas 101 media day (watch right here), former High 15 ranked Middleweight Chris Curtis, who returns to motion this weekend once more Roman Kopylov, provided his viewpoint on the upcoming 185 lb title struggle.
“[The fight is playing out like] two coked-out chimpanzees in a telephone sales space,” Curtis instructed MMAManai.com. “Truthfully, that is simply how Dricus fights. It is like, what do you do? God, it is so humorous as a result of, like everybody I do know, at all times clowns how Dricus fights. It is f—king wild. However you understand what? God rattling, it is efficient.”
“I actually simply need to see how this performs out as a result of it is such a clumsy conflict of two actually awkward- in all probability the 2 most awkward individuals within the division, combating one another. So, there’s lots to remove from that. It is an occasion. It is just like the quick bus particular…So I am like, the 2 most awkward dudes within the division occur to be actually good at combating. I simply need to see it.”
Curtis, a longtime pal and teammate of Strickland, is clearly selecting “Tarzan” to reclaim the title though the 2 lately bought right into a struggle on the fitness center.
“There are occasions when I’ve debated hitting him with a brick. Like, not even joking, I am like, ‘Bro, I am gonna hit you with a f—king brick.’ Like, I do not care the place it goes,” Curtis stated. “This time led to a fistfight as effectively. And we have been actually about to throw down, and your complete fitness center was like, ‘Are you guys actually doing this?’ And I am, like, threatening to cripple him earlier than he fights Dricus. ‘I used to be like, ‘I’ll f—king cripple you!’ So, yeah, we get out of hand.’
It is a good factor “The Motion Man” did not maim Strickland, or else UFC 312 would have been ruined, and we might be robbed of “two coked-out chimpanzees.”
