DDP 2, 3 and 4 but it was razor thin. If DDP defends vs Adesanya they should run it back with Sean. If Izzy wins Strick also get the title shot.
-
I had DDP 3-2, just. My 16yo and I got up at 4am UK to watch most of the Main Card. A fan of both but glad DDP won. Would be interested in seeing them run it back some other time 🙏🏾
-
DDP won that war. He’s a great chap!
-
No way Dricus will be ready for 300. His eye is swollen shut, he's in a walking boot & who knows what else...
-
Super close war. I had it for DDP. People saying robbery are clueless children.
-
Anyone coulda won that fight, not DDPs best performance but I still think he won that fight
-
I've seen almost every one of the "greats"(DJ,Volk,Cejudo,DC,Bisping?) give DDP 2,3,4 but hey seans fans believe he won so...
-
Strickland the world Champion couldn't show more that his jab. Say's a ton. The SA guy gave brutal kicks, high and low, and never left his face. He backed up Strickland when that never happened in his last fight. He won. maybe by, not a lot, but he f'ing won.
-
Did you guys pickup on the numbers DDP corner was calling out...its like they were telling him when to switch stance,when to kick/throw combo...and seeing DDP responding to it...
-
Luv these 3. I guess DDP won but it could of went the other way also.
-
Thank you from saving us from more Sean Strickland hate speeches DDP
-
Scary thing... DDP can still improve!! And feel he wasnt at his best there
-
I think DDP learnt lots. To get Strickland on the heels he took many jabs... There surely is a better way, perhaps front kicks but his game plan almost backfired.
-
This could have gone either way. I had Strickland to win but it was damn close. Props to both for keeping the other at bay.
-
Proud of Dricus!
-
I bet DDP, it needs ran back. Most fans want it ran back.
-
It's RIDICULOUS that the main event started after 1am est. They need to fix that
-
Strickland fans super salty! 😂😂😂😂
-
Strickland jab is tough, ddp looked terrible after the fight. That jab has to be scored different at times because that’s a top notch professional boxer type jab. Ddp did well but did not exceed expectations in this one.
-
Doesn't really help when Dana White agrees with the bots, guy needs to get out of his own way.
