Close fight, but the judges got it right. DDP put the cardio questions to bed. He kept pressure on the whole fight.

DDP is a bloody machine. He looked like every punch was gonna be his last. I was so worried he was gonna gas at any moment but he kept going until the end.

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.
