Closer fight than I expected. I had it 3-2 for Strickland with sound defence and crisper shots but it could have gone either way. I was impressed that Dricus was able to basically take big lunges and throw power shots all night long without gassing. Given his strength advantage over most of the division I wonder what style beats Dricus. He’s certainly hittable but he just powers through it all.

His cardio was insane. I was sure Strickland would outlast him. He gassed against till at the end of the first round lmao
