      How can you not count checked leg kicks?
      You could visibly see DDP step awkward after some checks.
      Also, as another comment said Sean's Jabs are alot more powerful then they look.
      I still believe sean won.

      That's just not his style. You will have to throw punches like Izzy, Conor or Cannonier, to get just a HIGHER percentage of knockdown's or KOs. Sean is just a very sturdy, very strong, 90% power jabber/boxer. Enough to stunt, as DDP himself noted; but not enough to do KO, in most of his punches.
      DDP is more reckless in how he punches and kicks; but even he is not known for clean one-punch KO. Even all his "finishes" were done mostly through using superior physicality/strength to fell an opponent like you would fell a tree through many hard, persistent chopping acts.
      Or via subs. The Darren Till was a good example: Till was clearly superior to DDP in pure striking; but Till ultimately fell prey to DDP, from a sub, when the inept grappling Till was taken down once too many times, by a more sturdy, more well rounded DDP who's able and WILLING to take HARD punishments to land his own powerful shots... because DDP clearly is not the most agile, the fastest, or the most precise striker at 185.
      He's probably not even among the Top 5 "best strikers" at 185. But, again, his extraordinary sturdiness, willingness to suffer one to get one, and general well roundedness... those 3-4 major features of his got him to the top.

      Doesn't matter what he says, it comes down to who landed more damaging shots. If Sean land 100 jabs in 1 round and ddp land 1 jab that wobbles Sean.....ddp win the round. Powerful shots are simply worth more. It is also true for boxing as well. Determining how much small shots are worth vs big shots are where things get muddy
      I am going to say ddp wins. Simply due to Sean corner urging him how desperately they must win the 5th round and Sean reaction when ddp won which seems like he wasn't surprised. Sean also did not trash talk in the octagon like usual showing that at no time he was confident he was clearly winning showing that it was a close fight.

      I see it the same way. Watch it back for Round 2 and you'll see that Sean was hurting Dricus more than he was getting hurt. And he was narrowly avoiding a lot of shots. Sean in the 2nd didn't really react to anything Dricus threw, but Dricus reacted a lot showing he was feeling them a lot. Weasel put every body kick of Dricus as a Medium and put all of Sean's jabs as light when Dricus was reacting

As someone who partakes in this sport and loves this sport, it sucks seeing so many people who have never stepped in a ring act like they know the ins/outs of it, act like they know what it’s like to take hits to the face, and also let their emotions and obsession (or possibly even political alignment) with certain fighters dictate their respect for the outcome of a fight.

      Yes I agree those jabs did cumulative damage and were harder than light strikes , subjective scoring . Sean could have went for more combo's including body kicks . On cumulative damage Sean wins no question but the fewer harder looking shots , including kicks were landed by Dricus and then there are the takedowns. Sean needs to add a bit more variety to his game , more kicks and get a few takedowns , that visible effort would make it plain to the judges rather than the cumulative damage done by his lighter looking punches .
      Sean beats you up with accurate volume punches and Dricus clubs you with harder but fewer blows.

      Jabs are meant to control momentun, stop pressure, control pace and set up your power shots. You just don't win fights via backpeddaling and jabbing. Strickland tends to be technical and lacks that killer instinct. Happened with the Cannonier fight as well. You don't really see the damage in the body kicks and leg kicks Dricus' landed. Even his coaches wasn't happy with some of the rounds.

      they were never gonna let sean win a close decision. he speaks out against this w0ke, s@tanic religion that's spreading, so they want as few eyes on him as possible.
      now they're going to make sure he never gets the opportunity to become champ again, those at the top are part of this w0ke bs. the s@tanic shits controlling everything didn't care much about the ufc when it was smaller, but once it got bigger they bought it. i doubt dana or anyone else had a choice in the matter, or they just offered them too much for anyone to refuse with their bottomless pockets.

    Your reviews are usually solid, but in this case, I believe you're not being fair.

      Well, to be fair the Unified Rules to state that lacerations, swelling, bruising, etc. can be used as visible evidence of Impact (the term they use instead of damage). In addition, given how a swollen eye or leaking blood can have ramifications on a fighter's ability to effectively defend themselves or even lead to the fight being stopped by the physician, I think it's fair to value those things and score them with a moderate degree of emphasis...
      ...that being said, now that I'm done playing Devil's advocate and making it sound like I'm defending Dom's absurd commentary, Cruz goes way overboard. You touched on one of the things he does that annoys me the most. It is absolutely possible for a fighter to win a round despite being cut. I still can't forget about the time he said "They look at these fights in terms of who is doing more damage, not really who's winning the fight. And a cut is damage." Like Dom... stop.

    It was a very close fight. It really felt like Sean was landing the cleaner shots, at least with his hands. Most of Dricus' punches were either blocked or didn't land cleanly. Sean's striking defense continues to impress me. Those body kicks by Dricus were good though. It really could have gone either way. It seemed like if Sean just upped his volume and power, he probably would have decisively won rounds 2 and 3, like he won round 5. I felt like the better fighter didn't win tonight, but there were things he could have done to change that. Hopefully in a potential rematch he'll show a little more aggression and urgency in securing the earlier rounds. Good for Du Plessis though.

    This is biased as shit. You say Dricus won off damage with the body kicks. Sean won the last round so that makes no sense.

If you changed those jabs to medium than Strickland would be way up by your criteria. You say cosmetic damage matters a lot then how did you give the rounds where Dricus face started swelling to Dricus. You say Dricus won cause he’s more of a power puncher.

    The issue I find is that Sean is a very composed fighter that never really gets wild with big fight ending shots. He is always looking to wear down his opponent rather than end a fight. I also think that his jabs are far more powerful than they look, you can see that by DDP’s face at the end, lumps, bruising, swelling. I think many of those jabs should be in the medium power range and not light. How much damage someone inflicted is usually pretty clear on the faces of the fighters.

    Normally when you talk about jabs being light it's because the opponent is moving away from the punch, Dricuss is walking straight into most of these jabs or is flat footed so I don't understand how you're considering most of them as light? Dricus's face looked like an egg carton after the fight. At 3:08 you say it's a big jabs that snaps his head back but then give it a medium? In the past for someone like Usman I don't think you'd call that a medium strike.

    Idk bro like in my opinion, facial swelling denotes far more damage than cuts, especially from glancing blows and especially if the eye is closing up. Bruising denotes flush hits whereas cuts can be from the gloves scraping at high velocity even if most of the concussion force missed. So for me it's undeniable that damage goes to Sean Strickland.

    • @trollof229antthevariable9
      @trollof229antthevariable9 Před 4 měsíci

    Although you make good case for medium vs light strikes. I disagree with it. Those looping "medium" strikes from Dricus were not efficient or impactful at all to really be counted as medium. One could argue that in round 2 Sean's light jabs did more damage and were significantly more impactful in dictating round 2 than Dricus' medium. I was surprised that split in opinion was round 3.

That damage was done all in Round 2. And Sean left that round with only a tiny cut that wasn't nearly as bad as Dricus' swelling. Sean was never hurt badly and never reacted to Dricus' strikes in Round 2, Dricus' best shot was a headkick that didn't land flush and was the end of Dricus' foot. Sean didn't have any reaction to it that would imply it was super damaging. Sean connected with his jab many times and a lot of the time Dricus' head would push back and he would react to it. Dricus gave more reactions to Sean's shots and the damage on Dricus' face showed that Sean outdamaged Dricus in that round, especially since Dricus was fine going into the 2nd.
