“I think Dricus du Plessis is going to surprise everyone man. Uh he's a tough guy that keeps coming. You know what I mean? He's awkward. He doesn't give up and he's got a gas tank where like Kazmat hasn't really fought any like big ass 85 like he fought NOT_IN_ROSTER_3 which is my like opinion he's like the last of the onedimensional guys.”
