Dricus winning the stand up in the first 6 minutes of the fight (22-16 for DDP) and then deciding to go wrestling heavy almost cost him the fight

[justmark]

DDP won the first 6 minutes of the fight by getting the better of izzy in the stand up and out-striking him 22 to 16, but then he decided to go wrestling heavy in the second round and gas himself out. Why would you do that if you are winning the fight? Yeah, he found a second wind eventually, but that was a tactical mistake there. Don't change something that's working.

Don't change something that's working.

You're contradicting yourself bud. DDP doing dumb shit, making tactical mistakes left and right, gassing hard then finding a second wind and somehow pulling a win out of his ass is precisely what's been working, so why change any of it?

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Huh ..

Considering he won via wrestling into JJ..

This is a stupid take..

Dricus won, because he's more well rounded then Izzy ..that was the deciding factor..nothing else..

Everyone talking about Cardio, lunging, size... Blah blah blah..

Bottomline...One guy came to kick box and the other showed up to do MMA...

He who has more options in a fight usually wins...thats why shutting down guys games is so important...less options...less dangerous

 

[TJH Exitium]

Perhaps he wanted to mix things up to throw Izzy off. Adesanya is a dangerous counterstriker and was looking very fast. Maybe DDP sensed Izzy was trying to time something, or just felt like grappling was the right thing to do at that moment. He was clearly better in the grappling whereas the standup was close and risky

I recommend watching his post-fight press conference. He laid out his gameplan, and it worked. He and his team are good at this.

It's cool DDP has his information between rounds.

He should have stayed striking with a better striker, because he arguably won a close round. I don't see how that can go bad in the next 20 mins.

Monday Morning quarterbacking much? Those were close rounds that could have easily gone either way, neither DDP nor his corner had any info on the judges scores or the significant strike stats inbetween rounds. If I knew the winning Powerball no. beforehand I'd be worth more than Dana White.
