    Judging in MMA is criminal. It's not awful. It's literally criminal. They are clearly putting bets on and trying to get the fights scored in their favour.

    he's too good defensively while pushing forward, the only tactic is to circle him and pot shot him, if Strickland wants it to be more entertaining he has to cut people off so they can't circle or he can go back and counter, but no he just wants to walk forward slowly jabbing and teeping

    Unfortunatly for Sean walking forward and not getting knocked down aren't the key scoring criteria. He just throws jabs and teap kicks 99% of the time. Nothing with power. He doesn't try to finish opponents, until the last 10 seconds of this fight when he opened up and started roaring at the crowd after like he's some type of exciting, dominant brawler. Holloway must have been laughing his a** off. Sean is a point fighter who hasn't adapted to the new scoring criteria, which prioritises damage.

    Huh... I never even considered that, but it makes sense. The only time he ever has any boring fights that I've seen has always been when his opponent isn't engaging with him. Then again, it's a matter of perspective too. Some people only get into the fight when they see someone get rocked or stopped. For me, I find fights like his against Izzy or Dricus entertaining... more so Dricus, after round 2, izzy went into cruise mode and it wasn't very entertaining. Dricus was bringing the fight to Strickland nonstop though, which was entertaining.

    Ok hear me out, Sean is like a crazy mix of like Wonderboy Thompson and Chuck Liddell. He’s an archetype of fighter I don’t ever recall seeing, he’s a brawling point fighter with slick and unorthodox defense for MMA. Anyone who thought the fight was boring and that it was due to Strickland and not Costa is insane. Y’all really spent $80 plus dollars on the ppv to not even know what you’re watching lol

Stricklands walks like zombie and just spams 1-2 and front kicks. Whereas izzy and wonderboy both have a karate style of fighting. It's quick movements and kicks. Constantly on their toes and moving. They use range to avoid getting hit. Strickland just blocks and parries. He's an ugly fighter. It's a boring style.

Also 3 judges scoring should not be sitting together instead separated by 3 different sides for wider view and prevent any bias in scoring by not being able to talk to 1 another or see each others scoring
