I thought Izzy would be too evasive for him and would fight from the outside to a boring decision. Izzy fought aggressive, the fight was great and props to DDP for getting that finish. Very impressive.
Seeing them bury the beef after the fight was the cherry on top too.

You think if Izzy won he'd have been respectful? Not a fucking chance.

Dricus strikes were noticeably more impactful and powerful. Pure numbers doesn't say anything in fights you have to act watch the fights. Barely anything Izzy landed to the head did anything to Dricus. Izzy most impactful and by far best strikes were body punches and some leg kicks. His head strikes did little while Dricus when he landed to the head always got a reaction stunned or hurt Izzy.

Significan't strikes are a fuckin joke. Any strike that lands basically is a significan't strike according to the dumbass UFC metrics. How about that left hook that bent Izzys head side ways, now that is a signifcan't strike. Or that big body shot on DDP from Izzy, was a significan't strike.

The attempts to "sportify" MMA always fall pretty flat imo. Same as when they list meaningless statistics. Oh yeah, t-4th highest significant strike differential coming into the second round of current active UFC featherweights? Awesome

You want proof how shit these signnificant strikes are just look at the record for significant strikes in a fight, where Max landed 445 sig on Kattar. Did Max even knock Kattar down from any of those? 445 landes significant strikes and couldn't even knock Kattar out or even get the fight stopped from strikes. What a fuckin joke, just like Dana's bitch asshole.

I went to college with a Du Plessis from South Africa. I wonder if they're related. Probably.
Yes, it's me. Hello

Last I read it was any strike with full extension aka basically any standing strike and only excluding ground taps and maybe clinch taps
Meaningless
Why tally something up when one can win the fight
Round scoring is BS but I don't think the judges even get that info to begin with?
A significant strike is one that doesn't result in any measurable damage to the opponents body. Damage is prob measured in pain and decrease of function. It's doesn't seem that vague that the average person wouldn't understand the metric.
When did we start hating the stats too? I missed that that memo. So we hate Dana, the UFC, Conor, the stats, Joe Rogan, DC - just the announcer - and interem belts. Ok got it. But we will all like the sport, right? Orrrr

Lol, "we" (this is a message board with many people's opinions, this is just my own) like no-holds-barred fighting. Some even just like combat sports. MMA is the sport, UFC is just a brand. They don't own and didn't invent fighting. They have the talent though. Put two and two together... They did the right things for awhile, now I'm not sure.
One thing is for sure though... If a large amount of people criticize one thing, there's probably a reason. Read and learn

The strength of those strikes is supposed to matter. For example, the reason DDP won round won (deservedly) was because he hit Israel with a very strong two-punch combo at around 1:05. Those were the hardest, most damaging strikes of the round. According to the UFC rules, you're supposed to give the round to the fighter who does the most immediate damage. Cumulative damage can overwhelm with critical mass but as a general rule, hardest most immediate damage.
