Good for Brunson's corner for stopping it. What a terrible fight, gonna be rooting against Dricus next time this behavior should not be rewarded haha

Good win for Dricus, but I think this is his ceiling. I honestly don't see him winning against other top 10 fighters.

Brunson seemed like he was taking a nap at the end of the round lol

Great fight ! DDP will have a lot of trouble against the top 5. Imagine what Vettori would do with him...

Big respect to Brunson’s corner. Lesser men like James Krauss would let their fighters go back into the ring blind as a bat and broken.

Is that the first time a corner threw the towel in during a round and not in a round break? In modern UFC times?

Told y’all Brunson is good just for 1 round like Lewis. At this point he’s just showing up for a paycheck.

Thats the most Derek Brunson fight to ever exist. Have a solid 1st round, start the 2nd round exhausted and then get brutally TKO'd. He will continue his streak of forever getting takedowns, weird sprint punches, being in control before letting it all fall apart. Thank you for existing Derek Brunson. Your fights are always absurd.

The last punch on the ground was brutal. 
speaking of medical conditions: DDP has vertigo or something? when he gets up from the ground exchange in the first round, he was super disoriented before even receiving a punch from Brunson.

Thats the second time in a row Brunson did that. He just... dies. His expression doesn't even change. You can't tell he's hurt. He looks fine. But he's so not.

the fact that this guy is top 5 is a disgrace to the sport. his fights are entertaining tho
