UFC 297 Strickland v. Du Plessis thread

I would say the decision was possible but not really great. Strickland clearly won rounds 1 and 5.

fights like this always used to go the champā€™s way, so i guess this is progress

fight underdelivered tho

Explain how you can possibly call that a draw, there was no 10-8 :joy:

DDP might fuck Izzy on the ground but standing Izzy would school him I think.

Strickland waited too long to put the pressure on him in the later rounds. Good fight.

Pride rules babe

Or he takes both of the down and finishes them.

Not sure how one judge gave that to Strickland. Crazy

Yea air boxing for 4 of 5 rounds wins a title now and some take downs that lasted 8 seconds with shit all done

I donā€™t know. Izzy and DDP had the whole ā€œIā€™m the real Africanā€ thing before Sean came in the picture.

Prediction is Izzy comes back and flat lines to Driscus then steam rolls Strickland in a rematch to become the UFC golden boy again. Itā€™s written perfectly just like a pro wrestling arc.

The judging is always like this. I donā€™t know how people havenā€™t caught on yet. Stats barely matter. Itā€™s almost entirely the visual. The judges are basically casuals.
