PBP UFC 312 - Du Plessis vs. Strickland 2 Official Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat 2/8 at 10pm ET

[sdpdude9]

Strickland doing what he does every fight. But with less volume.

 

[Cooliox]

DDP up 2-0

But he’s moving a lot. I suspect he’s gonna gas soon

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Fuck this is close fight

 

[HCS]

Strickland is so confusing. Acts like a savage, fights like a reserved English gentleman.

 

[aerius]

Strickland down 2, needs to throw a lot more front kicks.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

That short range headkick is doing work for DDP

it's a great option. that right side of sean is always a liability. he drops his right hand constantly and raises his chin. pereira has a good left hook so he was able to take advantage. ddp doesn't really have a left hook so the kick is working wonders.

 

[linvillegorge]

DDP is like the Dennis Rodman of fighting. You see he has all the physical tools, all the athleticism, but then you watch him play and he looks like he sucks. He doesn't do anything "right". There's nothing he does that looks highly skilled. But somehow it just works.

 

[LeBron]

Sean is a massive fraud. Talks all this shit about killing ppl and fighting to the death, only to tap people with his pillow fists all night.

 

[Milenkovic]

2-0 DDP

Strickland needs to actually do something.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Sean doing even less than the first fight so far.

If he doesn't pick up the pace, this may be a shutout.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Clean your damn room first thing tomorrow morning. Wtf.

What bro? Just my shoes on the ground and the laundry hanging there?

 

[gentel]

Maybe I'm off base but I think Strickland mitigated a lot of the damage by rolling with the shots

 

[Khaosan]

What an ugly fight lol.

 

[ElLunico]

Strickland is the most boring fighter ever. All he does is defend strikes

 

[elcj]

Strickland is frustrating to watch. There's no urgency with how he fights. Just does the same thing over and over again, and just expects to coast. Fights like he's sparring

 

[Substance Abuse]

Strickkand's leg kick checks, win or lose, are so fucking good.

 

[deadshot138]

Does Sean even like fighting? What the fuck?

 

[Brandino]

This feels like a sparring session.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

5 rounds of sparring ffs. Who thought this rematch was a good idea

 

[koquerelle]

I can't help but suspect these guys would make much better training partners than opponents. Still an interesting fight, though.

It would make a better fight because Strickland is only aggressive with training partners.
