Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R2
This is a predictable fight.
Strickland won't be the patient, picture-perfect technical striker he was against Adesanya. DDP's suffocating aggression will lure him into blow-for-blow exchanges in the pocket, and the power difference is stark. In spite of Du Plessis' sloppy tendencies, he'll catch Strickland and violently put him away within the first 2 rounds.

You can't say the NC against Holm is a reason her record is 'not good'

Nobody else has subbed holm that easily. It took Tate 5 rounds to finish her and even then that was a comeback win. The only other person to run through holm that easily was Amanda nunes. Mayra doesn’t have to be a minute winner because she doesn’t leave it to the scorecards. She’s also at ATT now which means she’s on their supplement plan; hence the sudden striking and cardio improvements

There’s also a big speed, youth, and athleticism advantage. The gap is even wider when you factor in that MBS is juicing while Pennington is half retired and inactive while also falling out of her prime

I think you’re also taking the phrase “ran through” too literally. Holm might have won a round but she didn’t do anything, she literally just hung onto MBS for dear life and MBS finished her easier than weve seen since the nunes fight

Rob Font : 271 of 516 significant strikes
Marlon Vera : 159 of 283 significant strikes
did Chito not run through Font? or maybe according to your logic you could even argue Font won that fight?
stats are okay to use to an extent but generally, they're a meme

In Holly vs Mayra's case, Mayra lost a round, the only full round of the fight, that is not considered as dominating or running through your opponent. Harder shots or pressure don't matter if you lose the round.
