“I have already told my teammates here in camp... if Khamzat manages to [finish him early], it could be a very easy fight, but if it goes all five rounds, then he would have to work really hard... I think Strickland will be working his way up, getting up and fighting back”

Yes, Sean did lose to DDP, but this is different. Sean Strickland has shown that if you take him down, he gets back to his feet.
