In every title bout, when it’s close, the tie goes to the champion. I think they wanted Strickland out

[thebarbarian]

To be fair Strickland outstruck DDP, did more damage, stuffed half the takedowns, and on the TDs DDP got he immediately got back up. Nothing was done on the ground. DDP threw a hailmary gorilla punch and couple of head kicks but missed over half his shots.

[wangbow]

With no obvious winner. You have to win the belt outright. Thats a harsh one for Strickland

[thewizardtv]

Strickland was robbed no champ ever losing there belt in a even fight Sean looked like he done enough to remain champ

[jimmyp]

Belt or not, still won't be able to silence Sean standing up for what's right. Need more people like him

[bjing]

All the kids with daddy issues are going to think Strickland won but DDP won easy

[Squidpaws-]

Let me tell you guys something. Dricus will not take this sitting down. He will be the first one to push for a rematch with Strickland to silence the doubters...

[maximia]

Super close fight that could have gone either way by Judges decision....Strickland definitely deserves an instant rematch.
I had 48-47 Strickland in my opinion.

[jasonbored]

Nah strickland won. 2+3's face is a balloon

[gotthenation]

Heal guys Dricus Du Plessis won with one point just like Springboks did against New Zealand in the world cup

[sodobson]

rooted for DDP... but thought Sean won 3-2. good fight, but we knew it wouldnt be boring.. both come to fight, as always.

[عبدالمجيدإبنلخضر]

Usually the champ has more chances to win when it goes to judges decision especially for a close fight.

[Naksu..]

Ariel, The weasle, MMA Guru, Mighty Mouse, Henry Cejudo, Morning Kombat, Volk all agreed agreed Dricus won that fight.

[jacobhanes]

They definitely wanted him out for the stuff he says against the fruit loop community compared to dricus kissing all his coaches.

[kekomessner]

Look at their face after it was all over and tell me? Strikland is a clear winner.

[padenbang]

Weird, you mean backing up and throwing a jab for 20 minutes can't win retain a title? I thought this was America?

[caymanmartinson]

It was an Mma fight.. you cant win by just throwing jabs

[mikemichael]

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!!...😂😂

[drgizmo-syxg]

All love to strickland, but how can you call it a reign if he defended it once and lost it?

[dirttravelertales]

I agree with Dana… I feel you gotta TAKE it from the champ.. not slide by with a split decision
