I don't know I like Strickland fights, you must be a casual if you can't appreciate the art displayed here, impressive defense and unusual but effective technique
I just don't understand why the takedowns account for so much, when sean instantly stands back up without even being hit, a pointless takedown should be seen as less than a jab.
They don't account for anything unless they do some damage or attempt a submission. If the stand up is considered even in a round then only then will such takedowns be counted.
Getting a take down means you were able to dictate where the fight goes. It's more dominant than a jab. Takedowns generally don't give much damage - I've been taken down many times in BJJ. It just sucks when it happens. What will hurt and create damage is throws/slams like in Judo. Look up when Khabib does his judo throws. That sh*t knocks the wind out.
@ I agree with you, but like I said in the first part of my previous comment takedowns are more dominant and dictate where the fight is going. Compare that with a jab. It's MMA vs Boxing rules.
Strickland is not a bad fighter. His style is just so unspectacular that sometimes its hard to spot if he is winning, even though he is, like in this one
He is undeniably skilled and his win against Izzy is extraordinary. Anyone that thinks he's a bad fighter is just hating. But anyone that thinks he's a fun fighter is just fanboying lol.
@ Its a pity he doesn't use that defence to fight like a madman though. That sort of pocket defence can allow for some beautiful exchanges. The best offensive fighters are usually defensive masters. But he opts for the no risk route like Mayweather and that's no fun.
no the problem is hes just jabbing and teeping while dricus is landing heavy more damaging strikes, so while sean might land more strikes judges would score it for ddp for damage
All these people complaining about Sean only jabs and teeps are annoying. it’s his style, it’s effective, it got him a world title at the end of the day.
@@tarzanstrickland hell no I think it comes down to the 3rd, Sean didn’t land anything that round literally just punched the guard of dricus the entire time, the only punch he landed was a double jab and a left hook at the end of the round dricus, was landing over hands and was the one progressing forward, no damage was done to either fighter that round so you guys say oh look at ddps face, Sean wasn’t doing anything in round and was backing up the entire time, when you have a close round like that the judges will start including octagon control time, ddp won 2,3 and 4
@ no way. Sean outlanded DDP 29-13 in head strikes, by far the most significant strikes. Sean checked most of DDP's kicks and either fully or partially blocked most body shots. Octagon control is not factored in when one fighter is clearly ahead in strikes, which Sean clearly was.
@ 29-13 is insane literally who saw that Sean land 29 jabs in that round 💀💀, most of the time he was backing up and punching ddps guard, if you’re gonna say that ddps kicks where checked then you have to admit most of Sean’s punches hit ddps guard 💀, ddp was landing the much cleaner shots and had octagon control the entire round
This came down to round 3, Strickland landed more significant strikes in that round and ddp scored no take downs , so I’m not suprised one judge gave Strickland round 3
Personally I can’t stand Sean and I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan of DDP either. Given that, I had Sean winning 1,2 and DDP winning 3&4. Sean took round 5. I hate to say it, but Sean should have gotten the nod - which is hard for me to say because I can’t stand him.
I guess the judges think if you’re plotting forward then you get more points. Strickland looked like he could go another 5 rounds. Ddp looked like he was about to die
@@gqwarrior6694yeh but when the striking numbers are that close in rounds 2,3,4 the takedowns and tiny bit of crontrol time matter and not to mention most of Sean’s strikes were jabs ddp landed the harder shots for majority of the fight and had constant pressure

2 3 and 4 were all very close rounds but the rounds Sean won were far more convincing than the rounds DDP won. 4 is the only real round you know for sure DDP won.

I am not a strickland fan. But he out struck Dricus on the overall score card, damaged his eye badly, was never in any serious trouble, and Strickland's only noticeable damage was the cut on the eye.

I have DPP by decision already on Stake, I dunno why people think this fight will be so much different than the first. Most important is we get a sick main event and a really nice card with tons of good fights, im actually hyped to see if Sean can stop DPP 🔥
are you kidding me? I was ignoring the calls of robbery all this time, but rewatching the fight it is clear sean won R1-3-5. Explain how DDP won R3. He didnt. Sean won 3-2 (1-3-5)
@@Ju5tooo when a fighter clearly wins 3/5 rounds and they lose, it is a robbery. Strickland clearly won R3. This saying "close fights arent robberies" is a meaningless term, it would only be valid if R3 was not clear. It was, Sean clearly won it, and won 1-3-5 clearly.
Sean round 1 Ddp round 2 Ddp round 3 (Sean was on the back foot the whole round, only singling jabs) Ddp round 4. (Ddp with two take down and more damage) Sean round 5.
I think DDP won this fight purely cause of the takedowns which is why DC was saying he thought DDP was up 3-1(DC is very wrestling bias). I still think this was a 50/50 fight. Sean was landing more strikes and damage but DDP was throwing the heavier blows if that makes any sense and getting takedowns.
@@jinums8189 just because Sean fights like a granny doesn’t mean ddp wins tho. Sean had more sig. strikes landed and he inflicted more damage on ddp than he took. The only reason the judges gave it to ddp was because of the fact he landed takedowns even though they led to no control or damage. Of course I’m not a judge but to me and apparently many other people Sean won that fight.
Originally I thought Stickland edged it, only because it was so close and I believe the challenger needs to 'take' the belt, but after watching again closely.. Round 1: Strickland Round 2: Du Plessis Round 3: Draw Round 4: Du Plessis Round 5: Strickland Such an even fight. I would have to give it a draw
How do people like Strickland, first of all he’s a hypocrite, 2nd he made fun of a dead ufc fighter and 3rd this dude is so scared of ddp he asked ddp not to wrestle in a mma match 💀💀
Strickland fans just dont know what a fight is. When you keep going backward and just throwing jabs, its really hard to do something. Ddp does everything he can to take this belt and he earns it.
Everyone talking shit on Sean like he didn’t impose more damage on ddp then ddp did to him 😂 I mean just look at there faces after the fight yall some clowns 🤣 commentary literally goes “I know the takedown did not damage but it almost works as a big right hand”??? 😂 Sean won easily 3-2 Dana even said it
How did the judges scored this for du plessis when strickland is lighting him up the whole fight as is evidenced by his face, du plessis was battered and it was obivous.
@@tarzanstrickland he clearly won rounds 2, 3, and 4. youre the real casual if you classify close fights as robberies. not my fault you bet on the UFCs premier jab and decision merchant.
I still think strickland won round 1 2 and 5. Dricus' face was so damaged after round 2. Oh well the rematch will end all questions. I think dricus wins

I don't care what anyone says but Sean is right he wasn't getting touched before the cut and the headbutts 🤷🏽♂️ that's the truth. Respect to Strickland his style gives everyone problems
@ rewatch R3, it is clear for Sean. Outlands DDP 29-13 in head strikes, which is by far the most significant criteria. He checks, blocks and parries most of DDP's body and leg strikes.
@ he’s a bum and landing more shots does NOT mean you did more damage, which is the criteria of the sport. Corrupt Canadian commission fucked it up. DDP is a chump and so is Sean. They both lose in round 1 to Chimaev or Islam.

Both of these guys have good wrestling?
If he can make weight
@chrisgonzales1615 this would be at 185, so we think he can lol. He missed at 170
I have DPP by decision already on Stake, I dunno why people think this fight will be so much different than the first. Most important is we get a sick main event and a really nice card with tons of good fights, im actually hyped to see if Sean can stop DPP 🔥
No Sean is winning this time , last fight was a robbery too did u forget that? Sean could have easy won by decision
almost correct but DPP will win by KO in round 1, he has been training and getting better
Sean absolutely won that
This can serve as a reminder that the first fight was not a robbery
are you kidding me? I was ignoring the calls of robbery all this time, but rewatching the fight it is clear sean won R1-3-5. Explain how DDP won R3. He didnt. Sean won 3-2 (1-3-5)
Sean had 70 more strikes.
@@tarzanstricklandclose fights aren’t robberies.
@@Ju5tooo when a fighter clearly wins 3/5 rounds and they lose, it is a robbery. Strickland clearly won R3. This saying "close fights arent robberies" is a meaningless term, it would only be valid if R3 was not clear. It was, Sean clearly won it, and won 1-3-5 clearly.
@@tarzanstricklandWow, this is sad. The only case Sean has that he won this fight is rounds 1,2, and 5.
Sean clearly lost rounds 3 and 4
I just watched it again to see if du plessis actually won. He still didn’t
Cope.
@@Jayslicemicnice the rounds were either for Sean or it was a tie Imo. I really didn’t see a round du plessis won. Maybe be nice and give him one.
Sean round 1
Ddp round 2
Ddp round 3 (Sean was on the back foot the whole round, only singling jabs)
Ddp round 4. (Ddp with two take down and more damage)
Sean round 5.
Sig Strikes Per Round
Round 1: 34-18 Strickland
Round 2: 22-26 DDP
Round 3: 31-29 Strickland
Round 4: 33-29 Strickland
Round 5: 53-35 Strickland
DDP’s takedowns happened in rounds: 2 in round one. 1 in round two. 0 In Round three. 3 In Round four. 0 In Round five.
Strickland cut opened: Round 4
Judges:
Round 1: Strickland
Round 2: DDP
Round 3: 2-1 DDP
Round 4: DDP
Round 5: Strickland
So how did DDP win round 3? Outstruck and zero takedown attempted from either that round.
Idk round 3 DDP was moving forward most of the time first two rounds he wasnt
Can't wait for the rematch
I still don't know how Strickland lost this fight like I said earlier can't wait for the rematch
@@marknelson4856I think he’s got it this time
I think DDP won this fight purely cause of the takedowns which is why DC was saying he thought DDP was up 3-1(DC is very wrestling bias). I still think this was a 50/50 fight. Sean was landing more strikes and damage but DDP was throwing the heavier blows if that makes any sense and getting takedowns.
R2 and R3 was super close
Sean is such a paradox lmao, the way he talks is the opposite of the way he fights
He fights and all u do is comment on youtube like a bum
@@eleanorrigby172it's his freedom of speech
@ it’s mine too
Who was the one shooting takedowns?
@@eleanorrigby172ppl can say whatever they want, stop crying 😂😂😂
Imo Strickland won rounds 1,2 and 5, should've been enough to get his hand raised so I'm glad he gets another shot at DDP.
2 as DDP Sean won only 1 and 2 imo
UFC intros are the best
After a rewatch I gotta say it's crazy how many people thought sean won this fight lmao
He won 1 2 and 5
Its not crazy though lol
Best fight this Year I've seen
Nice to see vast majority of comments give it to Strickland. If you spend enough time on reddit you'd think everyone thought that DDP won lol
Ddp won.sean fights like a granny
@@jinums8189 just because Sean fights like a granny doesn’t mean ddp wins tho. Sean had more sig. strikes landed and he inflicted more damage on ddp than he took. The only reason the judges gave it to ddp was because of the fact he landed takedowns even though they led to no control or damage. Of course I’m not a judge but to me and apparently many other people Sean won that fight.
Originally I thought Stickland edged it, only because it was so close and I believe the challenger needs to 'take' the belt, but after watching again closely..
Round 1: Strickland
Round 2: Du Plessis
Round 3: Draw
Round 4: Du Plessis
Round 5: Strickland
Such an even fight. I would have to give it a draw
How do people like Strickland, first of all he’s a hypocrite, 2nd he made fun of a dead ufc fighter and 3rd this dude is so scared of ddp he asked ddp not to wrestle in a mma match 💀💀
He has a childhood trauma so that's why he always like that
Strickland fans just dont know what a fight is. When you keep going backward and just throwing jabs, its really hard to do something. Ddp does everything he can to take this belt and he earns it.
Everyone talking shit on Sean like he didn’t impose more damage on ddp then ddp did to him 😂 I mean just look at there faces after the fight yall some clowns 🤣 commentary literally goes “I know the takedown did not damage but it almost works as a big right hand”??? 😂 Sean won easily 3-2 Dana even said it
Strickland 1,2, and 5 easy to score if you know what to look for very close tho and ddp made good adjustments cant wait for this weekend
Excellent performance by both fighers... great fight!
How did the judges scored this for du plessis when strickland is lighting him up the whole fight as is evidenced by his face, du plessis was battered and it was obivous.
Take downs
@@oBlvdthey shouldn’t matter if the fighter who landed the takedown doesn’t get any sort of work done with it
@@trueking1857 😂🤣 it still counts as a takedown = points lol
Strickland 1-3-5. Arguably R2 as well
2 for sure
casual final boss
@@anqwerpifloom explain why DDP won R3, casual.
@@tarzanstrickland fan girl.
@@tarzanstrickland he clearly won rounds 2, 3, and 4. youre the real casual if you classify close fights as robberies. not my fault you bet on the UFCs premier jab and decision merchant.
Excellent fight.
Very technical.
Teep and jab… its so boring. Sean talks like he’s such a badass. When he learned the Philly Shell, it stunted his growth as a fighter.
Boring like Belal
@@AdityaSingh-r2f-k2sbelals more entertaining, not super exciting but he’s actually skilled at what he does and looks good doing jt
@@Sin-pt2eq Belal is literally just like Sean, with even less knockdowns/KOs
@ more boring imo
@@AdityaSingh-r2f-k2s one practices actual MMA, one shells up the entire time. Js
2,3,4 DDP
I still think strickland won round 1 2 and 5. Dricus' face was so damaged after round 2. Oh well the rematch will end all questions. I think dricus wins
Strickland actually cried himself to a rematch. 😂😂
Who in the division deserves it more?
@@dallasalexander8112 not him though. Chimaev
De Sean hurt your feelings?
@@oseredavis9771 after one ranked win at middleweight?
Yeah and He Showed dana that He IS a Trump fanboy, very important These days
One of the best fights in UFC history!
😂😂😂😂
People might enjoy hating on Sean but he won this fight man. Eating jabs isn't how you win a title.... usually.
Wow Sean did win … that’s rough
What a great fight, enjoy Dricus and Sean a lot 💜👊🥊🔥🎶 While the upcoming Aussia card looks..well...not hype, I very much look forward to Dricus Du Plessis VS Sean Strickland 2 👏
I don't care what anyone says but Sean is right he wasn't getting touched before the cut and the headbutts 🤷🏽♂️ that's the truth. Respect to Strickland his style gives everyone problems
No man, you do Care what Sean says, please build Not your own opinion, wait was Sean says
Sean 1-3-5 arguably 2 also
16:14 the headbutt in question btw
@@tarzanstrickland
I got Sean 1-2-5 and DDP 3-4
IDK if I'm just seeing things.
@ rewatch R3, it is clear for Sean. Outlands DDP 29-13 in head strikes, which is by far the most significant criteria. He checks, blocks and parries most of DDP's body and leg strikes.
sean won 1 2 5
I love that tune that plays in the beginning of these FULL FIGHT videos. Anybody knows what that is?
sean was ripped of IMO
The longer I watched Strickland the more I appreciate his defense. His defense is actually pretty awesome and entertaining to me.
I don’t understand how DDP won this fight. This sport is scored on damage. Look at each round. DDP got fucked up.
Ok but ddp land more and more 2 3 4 he won it
@ he’s a bum and landing more shots does NOT mean you did more damage, which is the criteria of the sport. Corrupt Canadian commission fucked it up. DDP is a chump and so is Sean. They both lose in round 1 to Chimaev or Islam.
@@تعليموترفيهالاطفال-ض1ز not statistically he didn’t land more that was just in your simple little head
@seanmy3884 rewatch it most people care about the big strong punch not how many strike land
@@تعليموترفيهالاطفال-ض1ز stricklanded landed more significant strikes in 4/5 rounds
Both fearless,.fiery handles
Stickland nasıl bir canavarsa, son raund ,yüzü kanlar içinde ve azgın bir boğa gibi hiç acısı yokmuş gibi saldırıyor!Sean son raunda kadar neredeydin . Adam tam bir çılgın ...
I love reading the 49000 comments about stricklands teeps and jabs for the day
Strickland 4-1
3-2 DDP
Wow you Love jabs and tips
Ddp making people cry is always funny to me😂
You can't go into a strickland fight and be like I'm just gonna stand toe to toe and spar him, that's all sean does. And I think sean won that one.
Sean definitely won.
The UFC hates Strickland. He won the first fight, and if it goes to decision he'll lose the rematch. Rigged AF
Dude is so relaxed in there.
Can’t wait to hear the excuses and crying when Strickland wins . Most people don’t like him cause they remind them of their bully growing up 😂😂😂
Facts 😂😂😂
Yeah bully who got touched by his dad hahahahahahahahah
lol, Strickland has the biggest victim complex in MMA
Strickland probably was the victim
Sean won 1,2 and 5 imo
how didi they let this guy become champ 😭
