If Dustin tries to strike with Conrad the 1st round like he did in their first fight, he'll probably get KO'd again.
The blue print has been laid out, and Khabib was the first guy to actually implement it. Wrestle Conrad and run his tank in the first round, Conrad doesn't have any KOs after the 2nd if I recall correctly. Clinch, wrestle, and make Conrad work in the 2nd, by the 3rd round his power advantage will be gone and his striking is a lot more manageable.
I think Dustin's wrestling and jitz is more than sufficient to keep it on the mat until the 3rd and then he can open up his striking, and then try to go for the finish. I like DP's chances, and I feel fairly confident he can take this fight.
