    he looked good, was pressing forward & really loading up with every strike, looked like he may gas out early & was mouth breathing after the 1st round. But at the end didnt really seem to be that tired, that's just how he fights I guess. He's got potential & gastelum owes him a fight after the previous cancellation.

    I'm all in for backing Dricus, but think he is rushing it. He can easily do another 4-5 fights, get himself established, before chasing the big game. Losing now will do a lot more damage to his career, than taking a year longer to get a title fight.
