    With the manner DDP got that belt, if he has a true competitor spirit, he should ask UFC to give Strickland a rematch as much as Sean himself wants one. These other matches should come second to proving he truly won that title.

    • @Ajagodkin
      @Ajagodkin Před měsícem +13

      DDP knows he logically lost the fight, and only eeked it out by risking a sneaky headbutt. It is pretty clear in replay that Sean has barely a cut over his left eye, then DDP headbutts him and blood starts gushing from the cut(conveniently camera angle is all from rear and no other footage released as if they dont have cams all around?) - that is the only reason DDP won is because of that damage done illegally.
      If it was an accident or not, it is not an accident that the Referee, judges and the athletic commission all decided to ignore this. He didnt have a point deducted (would have been a draw and Champ keeps belt), judges counted it as damage (even though DDP was INCAPABLE of doing that damage legally) and the Athletic Commission did not review, comment on or revise it.
      Theres no way DDP wants that rematch with Strickland, he literally had nothing that could hurt Sean except sneaky headbutt and useless takedowns that resulted in 0 hits.
      Dricus Du P*ssy plans to pretend injuries for the next year or so while sitting on the belt, pretending to be the Champ he is not, then lose it to the first guy he fight. Watch and see. UFC rly F up by handing him a belt when he didn't deserve it. They hated Sean because of politics, but DDP is so much worse for the sport itself. Thats what happens when you undermine your own sport over stupid sh*t that happens outside the octagon.
      UFC lost MILLIONS of potential new fans by SILENCING and CANCELLING Strickland. Very very sad

    I think Strickland did more damage, we all saw Dricus' face after. Strickland's star is burning white hot, and with how fast everything is going for him, and the heat he's attracted, I'm genuinely worried about him. Maybe a little cool down time is a good thing for his mental health. He's already the champ in my eyes. I just hope he takes care of himself, and that someone's looking out for him and his best interests.

      I agree that UFC F up BIG BIG by CANCELLING this mega superstar in the making. Sean was a unicorn.
      I have a feeling Dana had a hand in tipping the scales to DDP despite him getting outstruck and having them ignore that sneaky headbutt. Later he goes and says, hey i thought Sean won but what do i know - ONLY TO ESCAPE THE COMING BACKLASH FROM THE FANS. He avoided the hate by doing so, but after all these years i can see through it. He plays this game very carefully and knows where he is stepping.
      Even if lets say im wrong and Dana really did think Sean won - WHY IS HE NOT GIVING HIM A REMATCH & NOW ANNOUNCED A NR1 CONTENDER MATCH FOR WHITTAKER-KHAMZAT??
      Dana is playing a huge part in cancelling Sean, like it or not.

    • @Ajagodkin
      @Ajagodkin Před měsícem +6

      @robertsims123 DDP is extremely cringe. Sean got headbutted and still beat DDP 3 rounds to 2 while not able to see out of his eye.
      THAT is how you think belts are won? At best DDP eeked out a draw - but a draw means Champ retains the belt.
      Did you see DDPs face? He was in and out of hospitals for days while Sean went snowboarding. Only damage on Sean's face was FROM THE HEADBUTT.
      But you are a casual, what do you know.
      Did you see the striking stats? Sean outstruck DDP by a large margin, he did way more damage, was in control of the match. What did DDP do? Took Sean down a few times while wasting time and doing 0 damage until Sean got up?
      Enjoy watchig DDP make excuses for the rest of the year while sitting on the belt, trying desperately to find someone easy enough to beat, then lose anyway.

    Anyway it's DDP v Strickland 2 in Perth
    If DDP wins he fights Adesanya in November.
    If Strickland wins he fights Adesanya a year almost exactly from when he lost it.
    the winner Whitaker Khamzat plays out like this: if khamzat wins he won't be able to fight in November for a title in the US and Whitaker wins they'll make him fight DDP to avenge his loss .
    I do think if DDP loses his first defense he'll go to 205

    Sean just went to Australia and punked Izzy out for 5 rounds in his home country, lost a controversial split decision to DDP, and they give the title fight to Izzy? Who’s lost 2 out of his last 3? Makes zero sense.
    And then they make Khamzat and Whittaker is a #1 contender fight? Khamzat hasn’t beat a single dude in the 185 division. None of it makes any sense. Whittaker vs Strickland should at the very least be the #1 contenders fight. Unranked Khamzat has no business being in a title eliminator bout. He should be fighting Costa.

    Being the backup would usually put you up for winner. Being the backup in this scenario doesn't seem to have that in the cards .
    Since Shawn beat the brakes off adesanya for 5 rounds and the fight was a split decision, I say roll it back for DDP vs Strickland. Put adesanya in against Costa or Bo nickel.

  • @MM-qm9ld

    Bo doesnt deserve to be on that main card. Hes facing absolute cans, the promotion doesnt even hide it, and the only thing they can manage to do here with this spot is sink his star power. He has to win dominantly or it's just a bad look.
    Hes on the PPV bc algorithmically, theyve decided by the numbers and cohorts, the people that buy PPVs have crossover with Bo Nickal fandom, so it's a more valuable move for the UFC. That doesnt mean it makes sense or is actually warranted whatsoever competitively, and that's exactly the situation we're in.
    I think the most interesting outcome here is the UFC gambling with their money essentially and spoiling it for themselves by Bo not having a great performance. The fans will turn on him in such a case just like Paddy for not winning empathetically enough. Fans see this stuff for what it is, and despise the promotion not putting on better fights and they use this ammo to assault the UFC's future stars the moment it doesnt go according to script. Kinda hoping that happens bc I'm sick of the games the UFC plays now. Its really made me lose interest in the sport.
    The direction the sport has taken, seemingly since the UFC was bought out, points to a watering down of the league. Suddenly top fighters arent secured long term, matchups stink to high heaven, etc. Its no longer that league where we always get the fighters in their prime against each other. Its got built in excuse making now for not delivering the highest competition every time out, similar to why boxing became stale. I dont even watch a lot of cards bc i just don't care that much anymore. Its all about over the top cringe trash talk, basically dudes debasing themselves for low IQ fans with bronze age politics to latch onto. There was a time in there when this barbaric sport had a great conpetitive architecture making all the nonsenze bearable. The moment that goes im gone.

      "running scared" no, he was a bit too scared in the first fight, but DDP now sees that strickland could never KO him, not a danger, so DDP would just walk him down even more in a rematch, because strickland is a weak jab machine, thats it. DDP in a rematch wouldnt hold anything back, knwoing theres no need to being afraid of strickland's power anymore.

    There is absolutely no way they put Bo in there versus Khamzat next. Bo is on the O'Malley timeline of being built up by the UFC. They are going to put him in there against someone with a number next to their name for their next fight, but it's going to be someone who he has as good of a style matchup against as possible to maximize his odds of winning. Someone like a Paul Craig or Marvin Vettori who don't have that good of standup skills and who want to take the fight to the ground as soon as possible.

    Uncle Chael - the poll shows no one wants to see Adesanya stink out another title fight. We were interested in him Vs DuPlessis when we thought DuPlessis was having success winding Adesanya up and might beat him. Now Adesanya is away from the belt, that interest is dead and no one wants to see Adesanya given an opportunity to fight for the belt and stink up 1 or more main events. He should retire.
