Anyone giving round 5 to ddp should never be allowed to talk about the sport For all the people who ride the short bus this isn't about who won or lost the fight in general this is just about round 5 which was clearly Sean's round
Sal d’Amato prob got a sloppy bj from sean after that score he got on round 3 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 After 2 judges saw the EXACT SAME SCORE ! ? ! ? Says enough for me to know that Dricus was the TRUE WINNER!
@@TradingWithBob Youre acting like it was 8 judges to 1, put another judge in there and they possibly score it Strickland 3-2 over DDP. Fight was razor close and should be debated as such. No need to overuse emojis and get all riled up about it.
You call good defense running? Trading blow for blow is never a good gameplan in fighting. Strickland could've just doubled jabbed, teeped to set up right hands and changed shot selection and he would've been all good.@@wolftickets4039
Thanks Din for admitting that you’re biased. “Dricus carried himself like a champion”. Din just doesn’t like Sean Strickland types and that’s fine, but giving DDP round 5 was one of the worst takes I’ve seen. All three judges give Strickland that round but Din doesn’t? Give me a break.
Compare how sean took the belt off izzy to how dricus took the belt. That was not a convincing enough performance from dricus to take the belt. The judges don't know what a checked kick looks like or rolling with punches.
replace judges with large language model that has data of all of the fights on the internet and all of the decisions made by judges as well as all scoring criterias weighted & use that as judging base
they did that in the izzy v strickland fight too, they counted the kicks that sean checked as significant strikes for izzy, even DC said he didnt agree with it when he saw that because he knows what its like to have a kick checked
It was a good match. Both guys looked like they prepared real well for eachother making it real competitive. both had to work real hard to score and defend and stay in the fight.
I wouldn't go as far as call it a robbery. It was a toss-up. DDP's cardio holding up for 5 rounds with that pace was really impressive. The takedowns paid dividends for him in this fight.
They just didn’t want him to win if anything one of those judges if not all three were biased towards Sean because of his brashness no way he won just look at his face it was bs that’s why I don’t even bother watching anymore
Right, it's been happening a lot in the last year or so. Strickland was a gentleman after the decision while DDP was in shock that he won.@@exquisite8967
Any fight where every stat but 1 goes for one fighter and the most vital part of scoring, damage, goes for one fighter, but the decision goes for the other fighter, is a robery. 6 useless takedowns (useless as they enable no strikes or submission attampts) don't grant you a winner, especially when the submission cat gout absolutely thumped by strikes. To the pijt that one eye was tactically inoperable.
How does Dean think he won the 5th round? Backing up doesn’t mean you lose the fight. Dricus landed some good shots in Round 2, but some of that strike count are checked kicks and Sean closed his eye up at end of round 2.
The DDP won narrative is based SOLEY on jabs not counting- but they do. They constantly nullify DDP's offense, he visibly reacts and his face gets puffed up.
Like Anthony said dean was cage side and maybe he was really able to feel the power and weight behind Dricus’s shots even though sean landed more 🤷🏻♂️
@@harindergill4358 Sean was definitely the one who was landing big shots in the final round though. You could give DDP rounds 2,3&4 but the final round was very one sided.
Dana is a fkn shyster and lying prikk having Sean the champ is bad for business so he's gonna say that with his mouth and say thank fk with his brain to make It look good . Saying that DDP won .
Dricus got BEAT UP! That was a pathetic ruling by the judges. Even if it was a even fight you dont hand the belt off, they gotta earn it. He didnt earn it or take it, he was given the belt.
As a Sean fan, DDP won the fight. Rounds #1 and #5, Sean tagged DDP's face up more, so I had him winning those rounds. But Rounds #2, #3, and #4, the striking damage was comparable on both sides with DDP taking Strickland down a bunch of times, and Strickland never taking DDP down. In a close fight between two guys beating each other's faces in, you have to give the edge to the guy who threw the other guy down half a dozen times.
Nope, takedowns dont count for anything unless you do something from them Damage/impact>ALL I know the UFC doesnt hold up these rules when they want to push someone like when they scammed Petr Yan against O'Malley
@@Temerio DDP won in takedown. He won in kicks. He won in ring control. He won in pressure. He won in creating the most blood loss. He won in just about everything other than being who you personally wished would have won the fight. I'm sure you thought the 2020 election was rigged too. There's no talking sense into sore losers with an emotional little baby tantrum to throw. Put a pacifier in your mouth while South Africa drinks your tears tonight 🤣🤣🤣
💯 Agree! Takedown matter if everything else is relatively equal. (Control time). DDP was attacking and Sean was just counter punching/defending without much aggression back
aggressor)Coming forward, throwing hard kicks/punches(damage/sig strikes), and t takedowns will win the fight vs throwing 300 jabs and landing 100. They look at the total strikes and forget things are scored ROUND BY ROUND.
I had it 48-47 Sean but I mean 2 of the 5 rds were razor thin. I had Sean take the 1st,2nd, and 5th but 2nd could go either way for sure. The 3rd was close but I gave it to DDP, the 4th was a clear DDP round.
STRAIGHT UP ROBBERY! The primary judging criteria is damage (sig strikes). Takedowns are futile if they are not used to facilitate damage (sig strikes). Strickland threw way more strikes than duplessis in total and per round. Also landed way more total and sig strikes per round, specially head sig strikes (the most sig of them all).
Sean landed more, but his shots didn't do a lot of damage. The momentum was pretty much always with DDP. And DDP did more damage than Strickland when he landed his shots.
Using that logic then strikes are not important unless they do damage. The fight was the closest title fight for years, it might have been the wrong decision but it wasn’t a robbery
I’m biased but I felt Sean won the fight, I will say I was definitely impressed with DDP he did way better than I was expecting. I thought it was going to be a quick fight but he kept up with Strickland the whole fight so I’m not too mad that Sean lost. It was a great fight to watch
South Africans congrats on your new champion and enjoy defending your boy from the robbery accusations! Hopefully Sean and Dricus run it back in the near future and we can get a definitive win.
It was a robbery! You're a wokie I can tell by your pic! You're elated because you're all bent out of shape because Sean speaks the truth when it comes to wokeism
😂😂😂😂😂 dean is hilarious, DDP won cause of pressure and ring generalship. Isn’t that in the rules ranked last after legitimately everything. I think it’s actually said that it’s ranked after everything else is considered even or to close to call
And what did Strickland do during the entire match? Jab, jab, jabjab, jab, jab, another jab, jabjab, jab ? Now he will stay where he belongs, the middle of the division.
How weird I didn’t know moving forward counted for more points than damage. I guess if you move forward into strikes in the head you’re winning. I must have misread the scoring criteria but maybe Din knows how to read better than I do.
Thats the thing, Dricus fought a complete mma fight. Sean primarly boxed as usual. And thats what cost him his title. Kicks count especially when your legs obviously jacked up. That jab had nothing on it at the start of the 3rd rd.
@@recca9228 the decisive round was round 2 and Sean did nothing in it just jab lean no damage got taken down and ate the bigger strikes happy Sean and his fans are out of the title picture.
Sean Strickland won that fight way more significant strikes, doubled shots to the head, checked every single leg kick ddp threw, and won at least 3 rounds. Complete bs.
Takedown with no ground strikes and sub attempts. Damage is the number one criteria- DDP face at the end of 2 is swelling from being hard jabbed the entire round. That DOES outscore the takedown. Its not 2005 anymore.
@@mistersparkles1842 the thing is. The strikes in rd2 was CLOSE. sean did win on the feet yes. But because the strikes were so close, i think the takedown secured it. If we use the "takedown with no damage doesn't score". Then Khamzat shouldn't have won against Usman. Anyways it was a good fight unlike the co-main
4-1 Dricus is a joke but 4-1 Strickland is almost just as bad. Personally 3-2 Strickland 1 and 5 aren’t debatable and 2 was close but Sean edged the takedown didn’t do anything
Great freaking fight Sean. You are the people’s champ. You beat the snot out of driscas. Idk how you lost when your opponent looked average. Missing more than landing and getting popped all day.
Sean should have been able to put away an average opponent, especially one who supposedly kept missing? So, what was giving Sean so much trouble? Why couldnt he go out there and just put the average Dricus away. Why was Eric Nicksick yelling at Sean telling him “listen to me, we need this round!” And “ i didnt like that round sean!”
Dricus sucked the lips off his coach That’s how he won. He liked pole dancing for them officials. Nothing else. Should just be clear. The belt was taken so ufc can submit to the rainbow flags. He shut his eye made him look like a child and got robbed. God bless Sean. You will see what happens to this white meat
You didn't see, because you were made to think Sean Strickland loss. UFC didn't want Strickland as champ, and especially ESPN. Try to make money off Du Plessis, and get what you wished for.
Sean should have exploited his body kicks more they were working well for him during round 1 and a bit of 2. Had he not been taken down in 3 he would have won. Demetrius Johnson also called it Dricus followed cannoniers gameplan and basically exploited Sean’s defence when he left him out in the open with his shoulders
Clearly 3-2 Strickland. Not surprisingly Dana want a qucik rematch to generate millions more. If SS wins there's jo rematch, and who does he fight? No one wants to see IZzy right now. This was financially predictable. SS is a strange dude, but he won the fight. UFC is becoming like boxing, very sad.
If you look at damage done, dricus looks like he took more damage. If you look at significant strikes landed sean threw more. If you look at the two judges that scored the fight for dricus they both have very controversial decisions in the pass.
Also people need to learn when to use the term "robbery", super close fights like this aren't robberies when the fighter you cheer for loses. A robbery is when someone was clearly winning and then inexplicably is not given the decision. If DDP had lost it would not have been a robbery, it is not a robbery that Strickland lost. Calling something a robbery that isn't dilutes the term and renders it (and/or) your opinion meaningless.
@lol why wouldn’t you like your own comment? If you don’t back yourself why should others? You couldn’t respond to the other guys argument so you deflected soft! 😂😂😂
Strickland took the risk of waiting it out behind his defense and jab, probably under the mandate of his coaching staff. He did well absorbing and evading the big shots over the first 3, but latter parts of 4, and clearly start of 5, he was behind and DDP wasn't as drained as they anticipated. They should have adapted their strategy in round 4 as that proved crucial.
Strickland in locker room having flash backs as we speak 😂😂 He needs to work on finishing his opps all the kill a man talk and always in a decision ending or getting slept Nice to see DDP even on a off night still take the fight
So the blood makes the difference? Even DDP was embarrased by how beat up he looked. SS looked fine and was smiling. Take another look Donna.@@donnacarr9660
Absolute fax. Vast majority of DDP's strikes were deflected or rolled off. His takedowns did nothing. Sean turned DDP into target practice. But the establishment wanted to get rid of Sean and install DDP for the Izzy return.
Very evenly matched fight and kudos to Sean being so effective and dangerous with his jab, BUT the right man won. Thank you for your unbiased and HONEST feedback. Much appreciated xxx
This is exactly how I scored it. This fight really comes down to how you scored round 2. I scored it for Sean, I thought he was still peppering that jab and coming forward with that 'teacup' kick, or whatever it's called. But several of the scorecards they showed during the fight had du Plessis winning the 2nd, and of course, all three judges scored the 2nd round for du Plessis, so there's that.
DDP controlled the fight, was more dynamic, hit Sean with more hard shots and had 6 takedowns. Not that close. Sean only jabbed and had a couple hard right hands
This was a robbery. Dricus should have won by unanimous decision, not split. Strickland should sign up for a jab-only competition, or have his trainers remind him that this is MMA.
DDP landed all the power shots. leg kicks and body shots. he got a TD every round and was the aggressor the whole fight. strickland literally ran all fight and jabbed he landed like 1 over hand right in the 5th lol

If you look at damage done, dricus looks like he took more damage. If you look at significant strikes landed sean threw more. If you look at the two judges that scored the fight for dricus they both have very controversial decisions in the pass.
Ok pal.
Yeah if you look at totals then you shouldn't talk about scoring since you clearly have no clue
And Sal D'amato doesn't?
Also people need to learn when to use the term "robbery", super close fights like this aren't robberies when the fighter you cheer for loses. A robbery is when someone was clearly winning and then inexplicably is not given the decision. If DDP had lost it would not have been a robbery, it is not a robbery that Strickland lost.
Calling something a robbery that isn't dilutes the term and renders it (and/or) your opinion meaningless.
I want a rematch.
Shut up
We really gotta quit these stupid champ rematches. Move the division on. Sean will probably be right back. He’s too good not to be.
@uriel7940 if it wasn't so close it could have gone either way, I could see your point, but context matters.
Anthony Smith speaking facts
Sean won the first and the last. He lost his head 2,3,4 same as the Cannanoier fight.
What about the 2nd round where he shut Dricus' eye shut at the end? I'm curious as to why you give Dricus the 2nd
Sean had 2 the most obvious of all
A close fight should always go to the champion like it always has.... robbery, re play it.
Close fight, one guy hits harder other one pokes with jabs, who wins?
@@arkhamknight5891 You show your strength of character when you like your own comment. Strickland wouldn't want you as a fan.

@lol why wouldn’t you like your own comment? If you don’t back yourself why should others? You couldn’t respond to the other guys argument so you deflected soft! 😂😂😂
@ghey name philip...sean hates your type
Needs overturned
Well it won't be 😂
@@desotohybrid2175 then Dana gunna catch a fade or multiple cause the world is on fire rn bc that robbery
@@Zootedzahthe world is not on fire come on...
Strickland won that fight and should get a rematch. Poor judges
Strickland took the risk of waiting it out behind his defense and jab, probably under the mandate of his coaching staff. He did well absorbing and evading the big shots over the first 3, but latter parts of 4, and clearly start of 5, he was behind and DDP wasn't as drained as they anticipated. They should have adapted their strategy in round 4 as that proved crucial.
Anthony smith should stick to what he knows.. on paper sean won that fight
Knowing Anthony chose strickland is proof ddp won. Anthony can't even get his fights right.
Really? that’s your argument?
Thats a horrible argument
Yeah when Sal D'Amato amd Anthony Smith agree that somebody won, you know the other guy won.
Strickland in locker room having flash backs as we speak 😂😂 He needs to work on finishing his opps all the kill a man talk and always in a decision ending or getting slept Nice to see DDP even on a off night still take the fight
DDPs face speaks the truth. Cauliflower for dinner anyone? Off night for sure.
@@magpie471 Right even if you judge it by Damage only one was leaking blood all over the place like their drunk father beat the S$$t out of em 🤣
You don’t think he doesn’t try to work on that? Some people don’t want to hear the hard truth that being a finisher isn’t in their DNA.
So the blood makes the difference? Even DDP was embarrased by how beat up he looked. SS looked fine and was smiling. Take another look Donna.@@donnacarr9660
Strickland was robbed
Strickland shouldn't have abandoned the teep
Opens for takedown
What’s the teep? Do you mean tip?
@@ZedianBit’s the kick to the belly
He didnt have the option after ddp switched up
As the champ I had Sean winning a close decision. BUT of course we will have the WWE drama of "Africa Title" between Israel and DDP.
Sean Strickland won the fight
Sean won that fight. A close but clear winner. I agree with Anthony
You are crazy if you think its a robbery
Crotch-Sniffing won him the fight. It's riDriculous
I would agree with you, if it wasn't a championship fight.
Congratulations to DDP 🇿🇦🏆
Not a robbery but for a title fight it comes close to a robbery. Not as bad as Jones vs Reyes but kinda like Jones vs Gustaffson
19:58 wt...look at his mangled face that's not the face of a Winner. LOL
He was completely shocked when they gave it to cauliflower face.
The amount of comments about forward pressure, had him backing up. That can't get the W alone, that jab couldn't missnot many shots landed clean
Strickland won that fight
ddp was not like a robot, he was sloppy as heck
Sean convincingly won rounds 1&5.
Dricus convincingly won round 4.
2 & 3 were a tossup.
Damage wins fights, not glancing blows or pressure
Sean Strickland put a real beating on both Izzy and DDP.
He gets the respect he deserves.
*THIS MATCH WAS RIGGED!*
Commentary and Judging sucked tonight it should have been 4-1 or 3-2 Strickland
Absolute fax. Vast majority of DDP's strikes were deflected or rolled off. His takedowns did nothing. Sean turned DDP into target practice. But the establishment wanted to get rid of Sean and install DDP for the Izzy return.
3-2 whoever, but 49 - 46 is eh... strange :)
Sean won! He was clearly robbed!
Sean loser haha
Wondering why do they keep inviting Din Thomas in there?
Rounds 2 and 3 are the swing rounds.
Very evenly matched fight and kudos to Sean being so effective and dangerous with his jab, BUT the right man won. Thank you for your unbiased and HONEST feedback. Much appreciated xxx
Round 1 and 5 are Stricklands. 3, and 4 are DDP easy. 2nd round is a toss up but leaned more towards DDP. The judges made the right call
This is exactly how I scored it. This fight really comes down to how you scored round 2. I scored it for Sean, I thought he was still peppering that jab and coming forward with that 'teacup' kick, or whatever it's called. But several of the scorecards they showed during the fight had du Plessis winning the 2nd, and of course, all three judges scored the 2nd round for du Plessis, so there's that.
@@brob8204 true scoring this fight would be a draw. Round 2 is anyone's round.
DDP controlled the fight, was more dynamic, hit Sean with more hard shots and had 6 takedowns. Not that close. Sean only jabbed and had a couple hard right hands
Sean won
Strickland won that fight. DDP won by just throwing wild shots that rarely landed. Did not control with takedowns. Rematch NOW.
Sal D'Amota had it right! Sean won that fight in my opinion. Idk how anyone gives Dricuss the 2nd Round!
Yo! These judges are laughable tonight😂
Dean saying he dressed and talked like a champion says it all. How bout the fight that Sean clearly won :-)
I had Strickland 1,2,3,and 5...And I had over $1,000 dollars on DDP...So I won lots of money, but feel ripped off..
Lekker Suid-Afrika!! Geluk DRICUS!
Well don dricus..great fight
This was a robbery. Dricus should have won by unanimous decision, not split. Strickland should sign up for a jab-only competition, or have his trainers remind him that this is MMA.
there is no debate
DDP landed all the power shots. leg kicks and body shots. he got a TD every round and was the aggressor the whole fight. strickland literally ran all fight and jabbed he landed like 1 over hand right in the 5th lol
No he didn’t. Sean had an 80% strike accuracy, and according to the criteria, takedowns don’t mean much without doing any damage with it.
@@FirstnameLastname-do1pxTakedowns mean A LOT. Similarly to drops via strikes. This is MMA.
what fight did u watch? bro landed like 50 right hands in the 5th lmao
@@alex-ki5wm and before that he spent 4 and half rounds running and jabbing
@@wolftickets4039true like Mayweather done.
And DDP blocked at least 40 to 50% of those jabs.
Ask Anthony if his helping jim with his fight against lesnar ?
