There's no way I would've ever bet against Du Plessis losing this fight considering he mauled Robert Whittaker. And Sean Strickland isn't half the fighter Robert Whittaker is. Too sloppy boxing. Look, swinging. Look at this, the fu****g state of this. Zero technique, just slugging it out. Oh my god, I feel like I watching two amateurs fight. Oh my god! If I ever have a fight like that, please tell me to retire.
