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.

Also dricus missed many shots..and these shots from dricus where he's landing on a shoulder or somewhere random that's not effective whatsoever are scored the same as a strickland clean punch to the face.

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.

I have a hard time giving someone a fight who got outlanded in head strikes by a wide margin because he landed some medium power body shots and leg kicks that never visibly took a toll on his opponent.

I think giving Dricus "medium" shots for alot of those are extremely subjective and arbitrary (the shot that opened the cut is obviously a heavy strike tho), while Strickland's double digit lead on strikes is more concrete and convincing.

Bro those jabs are not light! He snapped dricus head back and you give him a light strike but if dricus lands a shitty jab that looked like he tried really hard I give him medium. If you have to go to medium then I think you should consider that u messed up some of the light shots. The line between Light and medium shots is spot subjective to agree here

If Sean maintained the distance it was game over. It’s also the fashion he got taken down in; it was so clear that Dricus was far too powerful for Sean. Took him down effortlessly it seemed.

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. He fought his heart out and did enough to earn the victory last night.

Weasel thinks jabs don't do damage, apparently he didn't look at DDPs face

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. You only have one of Sean’s jabs as medium even though if you look at the damage on Dricus face after the fight you can clearly tell all of those jabs were hurting him. 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. Sean didn’t even get stunned once in those rounds. And only got the bad cut because of a headclash

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.

Sean won. DDP did beat Seans hands up with his face- that's very evident.😂

New game plan unlocked. Windmill at the air to force forward movement.

It wasnt really close to 1 for 1 on strikes, but even if it was, i know i'd rather get hit with 1 wildly swung haymaker in the later rounds that i can see and roll with than a sharp and heavy jab that timed me up coming forward.

How are checked kicks not counted? That is sean CAUSING damage. You could see quite a few times where DDP clearly felt the checks..... AND THERE WAS ALOT

Wait, jabs that Dricus said hurt really bad and swelled his eye, onen of them swelled shut, are all only light strikes?

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

4 ай бұрын

That would mean that I would count far more of the light ranked jabs to medium. Reaction or not I think if it lands flush a jab should be a medium strike.

I gave round 2 to Sean. 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.

@austinreed347

4 ай бұрын

Yeah the 3rd round should’ve been unanimous for Dricus but you gotta give round 2 to Sean he doubled and almost tripled the output and lands with the jabs and a lot of those should be medium not light. Weasle was a little fast to call things medium for Dricus just cause he’s powerful and it was a big swing. Nothing with a big windup and legit power landed clean on Sean 🤷‍♂️ just like the Cannonier fight

I'm a fan of your videos, and thank you for the breakdown. I wanted to point out that in many previous videos you were aligned with damage trumps all in MMA, and if you look at DDP his face looked like a train wreck post fight, reminds me of GSP's face against Johnny Hendricks, while Strickland had one cut as a counter. I get that point counts, but I wanted to remind you of the most important criteria that's missing in this assessment.

I don’t think he is missing that that, he says damaging strikes get you more points and ddp did land more damaging strikes, Strickland just landed so much more witch kept adding to the swelling and most of the swelling came from the first and last round witch Strickland clearly did win.

@@vPegasus Round 4 sure, but Round 2 and 3 are debatable. I'm going to Debate Round 2. Going into that Round Dricus' eye was not damaged at all, and by the end of it it was swollen almost shut. 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. The Strike numbers were basically the same in that round. So about equal strikes and damage favors Sean Strickland, so Sean wins that round imo

@@bobjimbobjim9006 who said that LOL that makes no sense when put in an irrational way like you just did. Not all damage can be seen. Body shots are a prime example of this. Just because a fighters face looks better at the end doesn't mean they won the fight that logic is stupid. Because not all damage can be seen if you base fights souly on how the face looks rather than taking onto account the damage and shots landed across the ENTIRE BODY , you are ignorning alot of the fight, With that logic a guy who lands one punch and cuts a guy would beat a wrestler who kept him on the ground all fight and landed body shots and had him struggling to fight off submissions for 4 rounds. Makes no sence at all. The way the fighter looks at the end of the fight doesn't determine the winner. The amount of shots landed and their effectiveness, along with control time and pressure determined the Victor. Only thing that makes sence is you not being a judge. Thank God for that. Because it was a close fight but stricklands jabs simply wernt enough.

So he admits how much Sean's jabs hurt but they were still considered light damage. How can the judges decide how much something hurts. They need those mouth guards that show how many times someone is actually hit and should be able to tell how hard by the g force. At least with this they could judge head shots a lot better.
