“Yes, it will be a more difficult fight than with Adesanya. Here's what you need to know about Dricus—he likes to fight. Is he the best? Probably not, but he goes out and wins, damn it. This is a tough matchup. But I had already fought guys stronger than him who wanted to fight.
I'm better at grappling, better at jiu-jitsu. Who did he defeat? Derek Brunson's dead horse? Is he still in the UFC? It seems he was fired after that fight because it was a sad performance,” the American said at a press conference.
