He was right, Dricus won when he was going forward, DDP got pieced up whenever he wasn’t pressuring.

[Uhhh]

But dricus isn't as defensively responsible as Sean Strickland

[ixparadimeix]

Rob is usually spot on with his assessments-

[DlordPlayStation]

I don't think Sean won by pushing forward and being in his face. Sean didn't actually throw that many strikes. He won because he had the perfect defense vs Adesanya. His stance allowed him to either avoid the leg kicks or check them because he's frequently raising his leg in prediction of one. This stance would make it easier to doubld leg Sean, but Izzy doesn't go for takedowns. Sean only threw out jabs, so Izzy's counter strikes were ineffective. Also, Izzy took a lot of blows in the first round off of one mistake, so that set the tone for the rest of the fight and could have affected his decision-making.

Dricus goes for leaping hooks when he presses forward, which is exactly what Izzy wants to counter. Izzy is a stylistic nightmare for Dricus striking wise. But Dricus could mix up grappling to keep Izzy guessing, and he's most likely has a physical strength advantage in the wrestling department. It's a dangerous fight for both of them.

It is amazing. Izzy hit a couple of bumps in the road, and everyone forgot how good he is.

[agus]

has Whittaker really been oxed, though?

[rickydamiron]

Whittaker’s resume is second to none. Always game

[Palaecro]

It's just a matter of whether Dricus can take all the counter shots Izzy is going to throw at him while still damaging Izzy. It'll be a long night for him either way as much as I'd love to see him flatline Izzy I don't see it happening.

How correct he was... Intelligence - The ULTIMATE EVERYTHING

[CarlosSanchez-ipvs]

Well to be fair Dricus won by the skin of his teeth against Strickland which I still give rounds 1, 3 &5 to Sean, but if Dricus can get defensively sound and mix in takedowns and ground control or pound, then he wins against gyno

[viniciusdias]

The Reaper is right on the money again.

[DennisFeinsteinCEO]

His foughts on tha fought turned out to be correct

[giustinoscalise]

A fair assessment me thinks, but for sure, Sean is a defensive juggernaut.

[adamevans]

Izzy loves people coming forward. He’s a supernatural counter puncher. The trouble with Strickland was his defence. He’s very hard to hit cleanly. He doesn’t offer much on offence except constant forward movement and a jab. That’s what wins him fights. Driccus uses forward pressure as well but he’s very easy to hit. Izzy will carve him up.

17:59 thank you for saying that dricus. I needed to hear that

[zudinz]

Well put together and exactly what happened?.
Ddp is smart when to use his wrestling and strike..
So Sean did well taking it to the decision.

[nope]

it’s going to be a long night. adesanya is done

[afrodemon]

[renayhill]

he would now, he felt it and lost, so true answer.
