[@nielrossouw7831]

Wel done Dricus! Hard work and perseverance paid off. Moer hulle!

[@khunter8757]

He needs to relax a little in the cage, he's so stiff and overreacts to strikes and I think that might cause him problems with higher caliber fighters.

[@shelr8204]

He still got big time octagon jitters that he needs to shrug off if he wants to face top 10 agreed and I like Holland alot that's a big step up.

[@Jo-id9zm]

I concur with both these comments. Still, good to see some good representation for SA.
