Probably the most embarrassing title fight performance of all time

[Mohawk Banditó]

Waste of a title shot

Never should have been him. We coulda had Khamzat today and had our eyes on Imavov starting tomorrow.

Some of you seem to be confused. That was Strickland doing what he does best. Have you not watched his other fights?

Dricus is a special guy who is on his way for an all-time position in the division. He's now 9-0 in the UFC and put away Whittaker and Izzy, setting aside beating Strickland with relative ease.

Sean fought to the death!

 

[Preston broadus]

Colby covington would have done better

 

[rjmbrd]

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.

The 4th round is not 'mid fight' ...

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

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

at least that 1 round is high level, dricus and sean can have 50 rounds of cardio they look like shit all 50 rounds

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.

if he was really defensively sound he wouldn't have lost so many rds.

 

[tritestill]

Rose and Carla are both miles ahead of them

Colby against Leon too

 

[Vergilius]

The 4th round is not 'mid fight' ...

"mid fight" means "while the fight is going on".

 

[Pain4Pain]

Sean fought like one of the opponents you have to beat in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

Same strikes, same rhythm as last time.

 

[ElLunico]

I knew this was going to be a waste of a title shot. Strickland fights like a sissy. Hope he never gets on a main card

 

[podsox]

Wasn’t even the most embarrassing title fight performance of the night. The 2 fights were that bad

 

[goOb]

I just wasted $79.99 and watched a new and improved Keith Jardine win another title defense. Against a guy who’s dad spanked him hard enough to never want to show his wrestling or BJJ skills.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

at least that 1 round is high level, dricus and sean can have 50 rounds of cardio they look like shit all 50 rounds

so Khamzat will have 1 rd of high level and the rest of the rds are worse than DDP? that sure sounds fun, watching a neckbeard hug someone for the next 20mins while he gasps for air. DDP can gas, but he is still dangerous the entire fight.

 

[RockyLockridge]

DDP's kick were the difference, imo.

His kick game was incredibly well adapted for this fight

 

[ThaiSexPills]

It drove me nuts he did nothing but jab. No combos except for a few he had success with, no leg kicks, no level changes.. nothing.

He talked so much before about going to war and then did that. Unreal. I hope he feels like an idiot

Because he fights like a pussy and stays in a shell. It's almost impossible to finish fighters whose only goal is to not get finished.

 

[Objectively Correct]

'Hey Sean, you need a finish to win this fight!'
>proceeds to jab and philly shell for another five minutes

Kek, it was entertaining but only on a meta level

 

[CombatCyborg]

It would be nice if he added a wrinkle to his game at least one time before his career ends
