The mma media had it 50/50 and they all hate Strickland lol

Can these judges not see thru the cage properly or some shit?

Yea it changed when pride died and we had to watch the biggest fights under unified rules judged by boxing judges.

Pretty sure you nailed this. They asked Dana about Izzy post fight and he grinned and said he will know next week. 300 is going to be terrible.

Yeah cool, let’s just ignore the grappling aspect of the fight.

I mean, it’s almost like it’s not even MMA anymore the casuals just focus on the significant strike count.

Had to watch with no volume. I thought Strickland won a close fight, and being the champ and all. Landed cleaner work, neither got hurt i think
But when you coast too much it can be risky.

Diamond dallas vs Israel at 300

Winner rematches Strickland

And it doesn’t matter that DDP’s left eye looked like a golf ball.

I’m not biased at all. I wanted Sean to win but I only gave him 1 and 5. Sounded like all the commentators had DDP winning too

90% of the time I agree with Verdict. This is one of the 10% times

This is how I had it. 4-1 Strickland.

I

I would even give 3 to too but not enough to win

I downloaded it on torrent and even I want my money back.

Might be the worst performance by a challenger to earn a decision win over a champ yet. DDP never did one tho g with his takedowns and got out stuck in at least 3 but more likely 4 rounds.
