Takedowns means nothing in the UFC score criteria, and let's be honest DDP had no control on the ground, Strickland got back up immediately every time. Leg kicks you can make an argument but most of them were checked. Razor close fight, i had DDP wining watching it live, but after seeing the damage on the face of each fighter, I'm leaning towards Strickland
I agree with you, however DDP had him on the back foot and it was just too difficult to keep that teep kick while going backwards. Sean started worrying about the take down, so he abandoned kicking all together.

Its not a robbery man but I know a lot of people who know how to score fights that think Sean won( who don't even like Sean).. I have watched it twice and I kind of agree, it was close but if I was DDP I would want the rematch to prove to the world how good i was.

The blood from the cut got in the way a bit and Strickland took his foot off the gas in the later rounds, but he looked far better than DDP the whole way through.
Agreed 100%. You should have to be dominant during the fight to take the belt away from the Champ. UFC wanted the Izzy vs DDP fight clearly and probably didn’t want someone like Strickland (a normal American the horror 😱) to remain Champ.
Sean didn’t have enough memorable moments in this fight. It was all jabs, not many big sequences from Sean. DDP was pressuring him, landing the bigger shots, cutting Sean’s face open and taking him down. Close fight, not a robbery.
When Sean fought Adesanya he don’t have to worry about wrestling/take down kind of shit and 100% focus on striking but fighting DDP it seems Sean lost his focus because DDP did both striking and random take down. He looks confused and most of the time move backward to avoid potential take down...Anyway what a close fight...Congratulation to DDP....Lets do rematch them at UFC300....Lets go!!...😂😂

Getting up quickly from a takedown should count at least as much as getting a takedown and arguably more since they are escaping a very dominant position with the opponent’s weight on top of them.

Super chill looking Aussie bar in a barn in the country. Pity you're on a restricted diet. The BBQ looked awesome...I know the fights are interesting but the place looks perfect...
Lol... Nor should you. Nobody with half a brain could call it a robbery. Volk said exactly what I thought... 3-1 going into the 5th... DPP deserved it.
Now I understand. UFC called it the way they did because UFC preferred Issy vs DDP. I honestly thought Sean won 4-1. Maybe down another round by a tie.
I had Sean winning then add sig strikes, damage & the fact he rolled out of so many off Ddp's strikes but bleeding & pressure sways judges even if shots r whiffed. Still close tho. Hence why finish is important but some x's u have 2 tough cookies that just aren't going away. Ddp definitely got swole up & didn't get a clear win for me but I do like the guy & he had a damn good 4th round. Would rather see a clearer win for a title taker but hey, congrats to that man.
I had Sean ahead. One judge -D'Amarta gave him the 3rd. The other two gave it to Dricus. Sean had more effective scoring hits I thought. But respect to both it was a tough contest and no problems either way.
I think DDP forward pressure with the striking outweighed Seans "significant strikes" going backwards. This is the difference in scoring between boxing and MMA. In Boxing you can win by being the matador, in MMA you cant really because of ring commandship criteria and certain biases like forward pressure, top position, etc. But yeah it was a close ass fight and is it right that Sean lost with doubling "significant strikes". DDP got 6 takedowns and forward pressure, also with the optics of the fight, impact of his strikes, etc. Im not mad at him winning it wasnt a robbery.
I guess that what happens sometimes with close ones.. Personally i thought you had to beat the champ convincingly if it's quite close... Great battle nonetheless, congrats to Dricus.
What are your thoughts on the middle weight decision?
Right one for me. Dricus won round 2,3,4
Dricus won

I had that fight a Draw where this was very close but wouldn't call it a draw think DeSean did just enough but get how judges could come to the conclusion that DDP won but I agree with Dana
seeing the thumbnail for this video spoiled the ending of the fight and i was just about to fackin watch it
thanks Volk's video editor! xD
The fact that the main event was so close should mean that the champ should have retained his belt.
That's exactly right...They don't want Sean being champ,they want the next fight in Africa..
It was close but not too close to call. A clear majority of both fans and pros seemingly agree with the result, I think that says enough.
@@leahmonkey9317sore losers like you would argue that way. Can't stand to see a third world country succeed.
@@leahmonkey9317gotta love how Sean and Colby created this victim mindset fanbase. Glad he lost
@@shelleycline3542 Victim ??? , what a stupid comment 🤣🤣🤡
Man I love king Volks!!!! 🤴 Can we do a Volks Spanian collaboration?...... food or fights or just gangstar as chats bro!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing setting where your watching the fight, beautiful
I wish Sean landed more uppercuts when Dricus had his hands up like that.
See that’s what Sean needs to do more of. He still does the same stuff..if he starts mixing up his strikes, he will be very hard to beat.
Dricus sparring sessions with this stocky/strong/powerful with the name Alex back in Tiger Muay Thai really helped him.
How is your summer goin? Thinking about it in the midst of winter here. Most of Dricus punches hardly connected, missed though what started the blood flowing from Sean! Interesting fight!
Can't wait to see your fight againts tuporia it's gonna be a banger
as a Canadian in the middle of winter, it's weird seeing someone in what looks like a tropical climate
it looks like Volk is in Hawaii, it looks so pleasant where he is
Australia
It's summer in Australia 😊
Its about 35 degrees here in Oz
@@bammull8420 yea, that's like one of the hottest days of the year in Ontario in peak summer
@justanobody0 Yeah man it's basically everyday tho and tbh it's a lot hotter in other places better then the cold tho, where I'm from under 20 degrees we consider cold 😂
Impressive main event honestly
You're up next champ! #AndStill
Its Summer down there!!! Its snowing here///
Congratulations South Africa 🇿🇦👏🏽
You know whats worse my two favorite fighters losing their last fight (being with Alex and Sean). I'm done with life 🥺
YOU'RE UP CHAMP. HUMBLE TOPRUIA AND TEAR HIM APART . LETS GOOO
Super chill looking Aussie bar in a barn in the country. Pity you're on a restricted diet. The BBQ looked awesome...I know the fights are interesting but the place looks perfect...
If Volk says it wasn't a robbery.. then.. ah damn, I don't think I can say it wasnt.
It wasn't a robbery, it was a close decision. A robbery is when the judges are CLEARLY wrong, not the case here
@kawaranai9743 Man, these over exaggerating fools don't stop it was a very close fight but when their guy loses it's a massive robbery....
Lol... Nor should you. Nobody with half a brain could call it a robbery. Volk said exactly what I thought... 3-1 going into the 5th... DPP deserved it.
Damn that food looks top notch
Such a close fight
6:22 Strickland v DDP
first ufc fighter to prounounce DDPs first name correctly.
Now I understand. UFC called it the way they did because UFC preferred Issy vs DDP. I honestly thought Sean won 4-1. Maybe down another round by a tie.
😂 your summary of the girls fight reminds me of when my mum used to say “if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything”
Do you reckon you could bulk to middle one day VOLKS!?????😂😂❤❤
I had Sean winning then add sig strikes, damage & the fact he rolled out of so many off Ddp's strikes but bleeding & pressure sways judges even if shots r whiffed.
Still close tho. Hence why finish is important but some x's u have 2 tough cookies that just aren't going away. Ddp definitely got swole up & didn't get a clear win for me but I do like the guy & he had a damn good 4th round. Would rather see a clearer win for a title taker but hey, congrats to that man.
The Gateses Barn!!!!! 🙌
Lol @ the old fella next to Volk, pissed and having a great time
I had Sean ahead. One judge -D'Amarta gave him the 3rd. The other two gave it to Dricus. Sean had more effective scoring hits I thought. But respect to both it was a tough contest and no problems either way.
I think DDP forward pressure with the striking outweighed Seans "significant strikes" going backwards. This is the difference in scoring between boxing and MMA. In Boxing you can win by being the matador, in MMA you cant really because of ring commandship criteria and certain biases like forward pressure, top position, etc.
But yeah it was a close ass fight and is it right that Sean lost with doubling "significant strikes". DDP got 6 takedowns and forward pressure, also with the optics of the fight, impact of his strikes, etc. Im not mad at him winning it wasnt a robbery.
Big Volk salute bro ✝️❤️💯
mannn, i had no idea you had a youtube channel.
Whoo! Look at the food! That's the way to watch a fight champ!
Volk you are a legend..finally someone who makes sense. .dricus edged it
Volk sounds 300% more Australian in this video. What a difference our surroundings make, I’m the same when I go home to North Carolina.
Perfect Analysis.
Chur the Volk 🔥 from the deep south NZ
I guess that what happens sometimes with close ones.. Personally i thought you had to beat the champ convincingly if it's quite close... Great battle nonetheless, congrats to Dricus.
Cant wait for UFC 298, AND STILL
I swear that fight was a draw. I'm the biggest Dricus Du Plessis fan 92 kgs rank 89 worldwide.
Funny how internet trolls think Sean won, but actual fighters know Duplesis won, like Volk, Cormier and Bisbing.
YOU NEXT VOLK, AND STILL❤🎉
And still...a half pint wanker😂
Dricus is the true champ🇿🇦
Good fight both tried their best.
2 4 5 dricus r4 was huge for dricus and r5 Sean looked good for like last minute or so but dricus had way more pressure
Boy that food look so bussin🤤
