PBP UFC 297 Strickland vs. Du Plessis: Main Card PBP Discussion - Sat 1/20 at 10pm ET / 7pm PT

[Poirierfan]

Sean outlanded DDP by a lot, it should be his fight 4-1.

 

[Natural Order]

What a fucking slopfest

Had a guy in here the other day try and tell me Strickland was the James Toney of MMA, that's how technical his boxing is.

 

[Mister7]

I think the cut made guys think it was worse than it was

R1 Sean
R2 Sean
R3 Sean
R4 Dricus
R5 Sean
Dricus hits harder but Sean hit him twice as often. Takedowns amounted to nothing but some good shots off the break.

Exactly how I had it.

 

[Liverkick-king56]

How Adesanya lost to this dude is beyond me

Izzy would've had a hard time with DDP too. These guys are legit.

 

[Huligani]

Strickland won by outstriking Du Plessis, but once again people think Du Plessis won because he went forward the whole time. Du Plessis only won round 4 and maybe round 5, not too sure about that last one.

But at the end of the day, DDP gets it done with the diamond cutter.

 

[Micsterator]

Dayme…haven’t a clue!

 

[DrRodentia]

I'm guessing the striking numbers will heavily favor Strickland, but that one cut might cost him the fight.

Dom?

 

[Duke Nightmare]

4-1 DDP, but its very close and could go either way.

 

[jko1355]

Round 1 Sean

Round 3 close ddp
Round 4 ddp
Round 5 Sean

 

[struckus]

Strick lost but he gonna get it cus of retention

 

[DelanoRunnymede]

Close but DDP won.

 

[KarateYeah]

FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[don't ask]

Judging has been horrendous tonight so who knows what's about to happen.

Buffer's getting the belt.

 

[HerpDerp]

Strickland 1, 5 and DDP 3, 4 were the most clear rounds to me. Comes down to the second, which I think DDP barely edged!

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Hahaha nice

 

[Danespina]

As close as it gets. That's how I had it though.

 

[El Fernas]

Strickland tried drinking from the empty Monster can, lol.

 

[Ladder Master]

Crazy how your face can look different when being kicked.

Spoiler

I think how people are scoring this shows how many know nothing about mma

Dricus landed almost nothing in the first 3 rounds. Literally almost nothing.

But people are giving him rounds because he's moving forward.

It doesn't mean anything if he wasn't hitting him.

4th is the only round i could give him with good faith.
