Dricus looked more effective toward the end of the 2nd.

Needs to turn it this round though. Maybe he should tell Strickland its gay to stay concious.

I feel like Strickland just kinda took the back half of round two off.

I think he's just much worse against actual pressure. Even though jabs are a great way to stop it, he doesn't like when exchanges continue.

Might be 1-1, but I don’t feel like it’s going to matter

I guess Strickland can actually grapple. The takedowns led to nothing, to end of round 2

I hope after I die people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money."

Not stopping the jab anyways so the eye closing is nbd

Dricus is throwing some absolutely stupid volume, I don't know how he expects to keep this up for five full rounds

Same.

Really is a toss up over how you see round 2 at this point I guess.

That round was super hard to call. I probably give DDP the edge, but I’m also biased

I guess he might think that, but hell, if he actually manages to keep this up till the end, I could see the judges giving it to him even if his strikes/significant-strikes ratio is probably awful

Think that one’s gotta be DDP. He’s at least 2–2, maybe up 3–1
