Probably the most embarrassing title fight performance of all time

[andrikkis7]

What an absolute embarrassment of a performance by Strickland. Hall of shame worthy.

The middleweight division is so weak that DDP seems like a world beater.

 

[USA!USA!]

IDK about most embarrassing of all time (I'm assuming you lost money LOL)

But it was head scratching. Fought even worse than the first time.

 

[KoalaBear]

He thought he was gonna pick him apart and got stuck in first gear lol

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

It looked like they picked some alcoholic bum from the crowd to fight

Philly shell exposed exhibit no.3549

 

[Subline]

Khamzat owns them both

 

[Gabe]

He just spars for paychecks, he’ll do his actual fighting against some regional guy in the gym when he gets back home.

 

[xhaydenx]

Few videos on twitter about how he's so loco and stuff and he'll have another title shot in no time. Welcome to the UFC. Welcome to the WWE era.

 

[Question]

Waste of a title shot

 

[Fact Checker]

Just an overall disappointment of a fight.

Strick came out one dimensional and lackadaisical.

DDP can only fight in bursts and wheezes with his hands by his hips in between long stretches of inactivity


MW needs some fresh blood. Hopefully guys like Khamzat, Borralho, and Imavov can bring the next wave of the division.

He thought he was gonna pick him apart and got stuck in first gear lol

He bought into the excuses he made after the first fight, Dricus adapted and beat him even more clearly.

That's the end of Strickland in title contention, most likely.

 

[Vergilius]

DuPlessis did his homework. His variety of kicks prevented Strickland from using his boxing advantage today, and, unlike the first fight, he now has the cardio to just keep blasting 'em. Not a great performance by Strickland, but considering he had to reset his nose mid fight and kept fighting to the finish line, I don't think it warrants shame.

Wasn't Sean under doctor supervision with a staph infection?

He didnt seem 100% there

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Hey I'm losing 4 rounds so I'm gonna keep fighting the same way in round 5

 

[surgeyou1]

Sean on the mic vs Sean in the cage is so funny. You would think he was some crazy brawler instead of spamming jabs and teeps

 

[TerraRayzing]

DDP's kick were the difference, imo.

 

[RoastBeast]

Horrifically boring.

 

[FreedomCricket]

Far from the most embarrassing. He's just so defensively sound. DDP has finished 20 of 23 wins... 2 of those decision wins are against Sean.

Sean is not an easy guy to beat up physically let alone finish.

But it was frustrating watching him not empty the gas tank in the 5th.

 

[InvisibleEskimo]

I still see guys ragging on DDP's cardio, but that's actually what impresses me most. Does he have a tendency to look half dead during fights? Yes. I didn't notice it in this fight, and he wasn't even breathing heavy during the interview at all. I think this may be overstated.

you talk about DDP having bad cardio and want to see 1 rd Khamzat who barely fights as some kind of savior of the division? lol
