I trust in the process. Dricus is one of the more stronger, athletic, hard hitters at middleweight. Something that gets lost in the sauce is that even though he got dom, khmazat wasn't able to finish him off despite having the ground game all to himself

Because he shelled up and refused to take any risks to get to his feet. I'd have more respect if he gave up his back trying to get up then just lay there accepting the loss every round praying to knock him out in the 15 seconds it took for khamzat to get him down each round.

He hurt Khamzat in the 5th round. “ShOuLd HaVe GiVeN uP HiS bAcK”

He got a lucky standup that he couldn't count on and didn't even come close to finishing him. If his best plan to win that fight was actually to get controlled for over 20 minutes that's sad and he should never get a rematch
