Its not a robbery man but I know a lot of people who know how to score fights that think Sean won( who don't even like Sean).. I have watched it twice and I kind of agree, it was close but if I was DDP I would want the rematch to prove to the world how good i was. Personally I am now really confused how to score these fights, every week the analysis moves the goal posts and emphasizes a different aspect of the fight that justifies the winner (sometimes, sometimes its consistent but usually for un-ranked fights ). Its even more confusing that Dana said exactly what I thought: 2 to 2 going into the 5 and Sean won the 5. (by a thin margin) . How are people justifying DDP's face after the match also the guy had trouble walking out of the ring? Is weird because I am not saying DDP is bad and not the best possible contender right now but I am very confused on this scoring shit.

Ddp definitely got swole up & didn't get a clear win for me but I do like the guy & he had a damn good 4th round. Would rather see a clearer win for a title taker but hey, congrats to that man.

I think DDP forward pressure with the striking outweighed Seans "significant strikes" going backwards. This is the difference in scoring between boxing and MMA. In Boxing you can win by being the matador, in MMA you cant really because of ring commandship criteria and certain biases like forward pressure, top position, etc. But yeah it was a close ass fight and is it right that Sean lost with doubling "significant strikes". DDP got 6 takedowns and forward pressure, also with the optics of the fight, impact of his strikes, etc. Im not mad at him winning it wasnt a robbery.

What are your thoughts on the middle weight decision?
Right one for me. Dricus won round 2,3,4
Dricus won
1,2,5 Strickland
not a robbery
Round 2 I thought was the swing round, slightly lean toward DDP winning
It’s the best example of a split decision. I had it 1, 2, 5 Sean but wouldn’t call robbery or get mad if someone had it 2, 3, 4 Dricus. Def need a rematch
If you had Sean winning that fight, you need to get your brain examined.
i thought the same. round 2 coulda gone either way. dricus had a better r2 than r1, but he didnt clearly win that at all
Yeah, ddp 2-3-4
@@ed1rko17 A lot of credible people thought that Sean won. Jamahal Hill, Bo Nickal, Dana White just to name a few. They all had it 3-2 for Sean. Bo and Dana both said 1, 2, and 5 for Sean as well.
@@ed1rko17 It’s def not that mate. It was a very close round 2 and it’s safe to say Sean won rounds 1 and 5, Dricus won round 3 and 4. They were pretty close on significant strikes but I thought since Sean caused Dricus’s left eye to be so swollen it was almost shut, that he may have edged him out but not screaming robbery by any means

I had Sean winning 1 and 5. 2-4 were razor close, but I can see Dricus winning them so I am not mad at the result. They should definitely rematch though.
3 and 4 was Dricus all day
I thought Sean won it too even though I wanted him to lose.
SAME
Round 4 was not close. That was a clear round for Driscus,
I had Driscus 3 to 2. Sean wasn’t aggressive enough, he let Driscus walk him down.
DDP had rounds 2,3 and 4. Had 6 takedowns, body/leg kicks and control.
Takedowns are worth nothing.
Spot on Bro...
The takedowns didn't go anywhere. Sean got right back up each time.
Checked kicks and takedowns that result in zero damage or sub attempts are meaningless. Casuals like you need to stop having opinions on this sport
Takedowns means nothing in the UFC score criteria, and let's be honest DDP had no control on the ground, Strickland got back up immediately every time. Leg kicks you can make an argument but most of them were checked. Razor close fight, i had DDP wining watching it live, but after seeing the damage on the face of each fighter, I'm leaning towards Strickland
A good war. Had DDP winning 2, 3 and 4 but it was very close. Would not been mad if Sean got it. It is what it is. MW is one of the best divisions right now.

There we go a master and his coach at mixing it up in martial arts and they felt 3-2 DDP like me. The hard graft for 25 mins by both men was insane but DDP take downs were reminiscent of GSP in Canada and although his strikes look awkward he is extremely cerebal and landed some beautiful shot that will shut the lights out on many men. Anyone calling that a robbery are massive D riders for SEAN.
Volk , you always speak so kindly. I’m such a fan of you bro
When Sean fought Adesanya he don’t have to worry about wrestling/take down kind of shit and 100% focus on striking but fighting DDP it seems Sean lost his focus because DDP did both striking and random take down. He looks confused and most of the time move backward to avoid potential take down...Anyway what a close fight...Congratulation to DDP....Lets do rematch them at UFC300....Lets go!!...😂😂
Honestly a rematch is the only matchup I wanna see. Izzy doesn't deserve another immediate title shot and khamzat needs to fight some actual Middleweights first.
I agree. Sean and DDP rematch is what I wanna see too. Maybe Khamzat v Izzy for the title shot? Give Izzy a comeback fight after his rest and Khamzat a real opponent.

We super proud of you Dricus. First the Boks go back to back and now our first UFC belt!!! Super close fight. So much respect for Strickland.
It's because we love Sean.. we are a little biased. 😂
How is your summer goin? Thinking about it in the midst of winter here. Most of Dricus punches hardly connected, missed though what started the blood flowing from Sean! Interesting fight!
Impressive main event honestly
glad volk and joe know how to score a fight lol, the amount of people claiming robbery is insane
you have to remember Sean is a very popular fighter. Judging is subjective so of course most of them will claim robbery for their guy. So this stuff doesn't surprise me anymore haha
Its not a robbery man but I know a lot of people who know how to score fights that think Sean won( who don't even like Sean).. I have watched it twice and I kind of agree, it was close but if I was DDP I would want the rematch to prove to the world how good i was. Personally I am now really confused how to score these fights, every week the analysis moves the goal posts and emphasizes a different aspect of the fight that justifies the winner (sometimes, sometimes its consistent but usually for un-ranked fights ). Its even more confusing that Dana said exactly what I thought: 2 to 2 going into the 5 and Sean won the 5. (by a thin margin) . How are people justifying DDP's face after the match also the guy had trouble walking out of the ring? Is weird because I am not saying DDP is bad and not the best possible contender right now but I am very confused on this scoring shit.
@@walterr.brewerjr.8166you don’t have to justify someone’s face. UFC fighting isn’t judged by post fight appearance. Especially in this case where one fighter (Sean) fights so defensively.

You traitor 😤 jk. Rob will make a comeback I hope.
We don’t accept you as Australian then champion
Sean didn’t have enough memorable moments in this fight. It was all jabs, not many big sequences from Sean. DDP was pressuring him, landing the bigger shots, cutting Sean’s face open and taking him down. Close fight, not a robbery.
Its Summer down there!!! Its snowing here///
Close-ish fight but Strickland should have got it: massively outstruck Du Plessis, did more visible damage, and when DDP managed to get him down he could do nothing at all and Sean got straight back up. The blood from the cut got in the way a bit and Strickland took his foot off the gas in the later rounds, but he looked far better than DDP the whole way through.
Too biased
Agreed 100%. You should have to be dominant during the fight to take the belt away from the Champ. UFC wanted the Izzy vs DDP fight clearly and probably didn’t want someone like Strickland (a normal American the horror 😱) to remain Champ.
Look at the sig. Strikes to the head. 1st round Sean 28 DDP 8 2rd Sean 20 DDP 11 3rd Sean 29 DDP 13 4th Sean 32 DDP 22 5th Sean 48 DDP 27 Does it seem like TDs without a follow up should've granted DDP a win?
And what about damage, body shots, leg kicks, octagon control? The fights are judged on more than one(two) criteria
@@E2O10 That's where you're wrong. The low kicks were CHECKED and the amount of body shots were nowhere near enough to overcompensate the headshots that Dricus received. And you're are actually wrong about the Criteria. A round is scored by Plan A- Damage if that's even THEN it goes to Plan B- Aggressiveness. If that's also equal then it goes to control. It isn't a combination of the three. It's either one or another. And also according to the Criteria TDs shouldn't be scored as points. It isn't considered as Effective Grappling.
@@jayn6943 "That's where you're wrong." - about what? "A round is scored by Plan A- Damage ... " - So why bring up the sig. head strikes at all? Those don't correlate directly with damage.. And as you yourself pointed out, damage is the first criterion that is looked at.
seeing the thumbnail for this video spoiled the ending of the fight and i was just about to fackin watch it thanks Volk's video editor! xD

Damn that food looks top notch
Dricus sparring sessions with this stocky/strong/powerful with the name Alex back in Tiger Muay Thai really helped him.
Getting up quickly from a takedown should count at least as much as getting a takedown and arguably more since they are escaping a very dominant position with the opponent’s weight on top of them.
I just said this bro defending takedowns and getting back up shoukd count just like takedown do and have the ability to sway the fught
Judges love to score takedowns that amount to 0 damage these days 1 thing ill say despite being a cyclops ddp was the 1 coming forward in the fight mostly.. but for me Sean won run it back sum day 💥🇺🇸

1000%. And im pretty sure it was first time he went past 3rds(at least in ufc). I love sean, but i think in a rematch DDP would win pretty easily. He is at the stage where he gonna get exponentially better with every fight. Izzy has to get DDP next.
