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

Khamzat wasn’t able to finish because DDP did nothing but survive, it’s very possible he gets finished in the first if he made any attempt to get up. Not getting finished isn’t a silver lining when you got fully pinned in crucifix for multiple rounds. Nothing in that fight should make you feel hopeful, I get liking the guy but that’s simply mental gymnastics. It’s very possible he shows something different in his next fight but this is reaching at best.

Idk dude. Many people would get finished ‘just trying to survive’. Don’t act like it’s easy not to get finished… Rob was also just ‘trying to survive’ when he got subbed.

He was trying not to get subbed all he did was tuck his neck and accept the position until the round ended. Horrible performance from DDP zero urgency on the ground.
