Who wins the UFC 297 main event, Sean or Dricus?

[TreyParker]

The fact Izzy was kind of shocked and confused that Stickland was punching him tells me he underestimated him. Tbf most ppl did though

[yungk]

bro izzy throwing a thumbs up to the ref while sean is trynna kill him is hilarious lmfao

[WhatzHappeningNow]

Say what you want about Izzy, we will miss him when he's gone.

Teddy Atlas "Adesanya wasn't as Bruce Lee-like as he normally is."
That's why Izzy is one of my favorite fighters, because he uses alot of stuff Bruce Lee talked about HOWEVER in this fight, Sean was doing something Bruce had mentioned:
"The best defense, is a defensive offense." Stricklad was coming forward with constant pressure and offense, while maintaining a strong defense. Tough to deal with!

Win or lose the man never hides and always speaks his truth. Respect to one of the 🐐

[ArthurGonzorelli]

Izzy was fighting Sean Strickland, Sean Strickland was also fighting Sean Strickland. The fight was a man with nothing more to prove vs a man with everything to prove to himself. Sean disbelief in himself and his determination to prove it to himself willed him to win this fight. Izzy got a bit comfortable, especially riding off the high of finishing Poa when Poa dispatched Strickland rather quickly

My favorite fighter hope you can get the belt back

[theNfl_Esq]

Takes a lot of courage to talk about this fight. People don’t realize how traumatic it is…👏🏻Izzy

[bobbywhite]

Ufc be hypnotizing fighters. How many times we heard "it was like a bad dream" "i didnt show up"

[Lpj]

Brutally honest and gave Sean his props. I’m shocked and I respect it.

[CaughtInp]

Hardest L to hold as a man. Props to these guys that go out there and do this for a living!

[IceFire_]

He’s brave enough to accept his loses and not just hide away

[kencrimson]

Loss or not, izzy is in my opinion an absolute beast. He is smaller than lot of his opponents, and still have the strength and the mental to put them down, it's easier to talk a lot when you don't have your feet inside a ring or octagon, so my respect to every fighters, and izzy for being such a great fighter.

[kennethadebola]

It looked bad as much as you felt.... your truth. We move on and do better...

[kennethadebola]

If Sean's corner was helping him, what was Eugene doing? Is Eugene becoming complacent by leaving you to figure it all out? just asking...

[MykeDavisHoeft]

One thing I like about Izzy ! he gon let this be a learning curve and watch him double up his success from learning from this experience

[isaacw]

I like Izzy but I was a bit disappointed in rounds 4/5. You knew you were down 3-0 and you never went for it, you were always on the back foot. Never pushed him at all and put yourself at any risk.

[Poetry-um]

Mental fatigue plus over training ....everytime as the fight starts i watch the core strength...if soft youll fall apart ...fitness isnt just for the fights year round training martial and fitness u got this Lion

Win, lose or draw fan for life and will always root for you🙏
