GDT: UFC 312: du Plessis vs. Strickland 2

[Taytro]

My only bet was a Weili and Matthews combo at +200, thought it was a guarantee. No idea why Weili was an underdog here. She probably won't be next time.

 

[Moncherry]

Uhhhhh....

I'm not watching, but I checked in on the results, and of course the guy he was dumping on won by TKO in like 30 seconds.

 

[bov]

Domination. Weili is a superstar.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Hahaha, my kids used to listen to the ants go marching in that I started singing it out loud without thinking about it during Strickland's walkout

 

[I am not exposed]

Close round but DDP got it imo.

 

[S E P H]

Being way too cautious right now.

Who's better on the ground?

 

[Taytro]

Strickland looks calm and composed, DDP looks concerned and frantic but after 2 rounds DDP is just throwing and landing more so he's got the be winning the fight.

 

[I am not exposed]

Just more activity from DDP. 2 round to 0.

 

[Deadpool8812]

This....is boring...

 

[S E P H]

Agree with others, just a bunch of air punches by du Plessis. My friend says he's an ugly fighter and I can see why.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

2-1 ddp so far

 

[I am not exposed]

I'm giving that 3rd round to Sean. Close again.

 

[S E P H]

Strickland was turning the tide and du Plessis went straight for the takedown.

 

[S E P H]

Meh, du Plessis is not a better fighter, just throws more punches and some times you get lucky.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

ddp looks so tired

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

DDP got tired chasing that finish. Strickland cardio even without a nose is probably still good enough for the whole fight.

 

[Taytro]

Meh, du Plessis is not a better fighter, just throws more punches and some times you get lucky.

It's not luck when you're champion and undefeated in the UFC lol. Strickland is way cleaner but that doesn't mean he's better. DDP has won every round so far IMO.

People (including me previously) have been saying that in every fight in his UFC career. But he keeps winning. And he is winning this fight.

 

[CDJ]

Meh, du Plessis is not a better fighter, just throws more punches and some times you get lucky.

Well you’re wrong but ok

I like Suarez in this one

Well you’re wrong but ok

Is Cormier really saying DDP's cardio is amazing?

 

[Taytro]

Is Cormier really saying DDP's cardio is amazing?

Well....It is? Hes been throwing wild and with power the whole fight and is still coming forward and doing it in the 5th.

DDP looks tired in the first round but he never slows down.

 

[S E P H]

It's not luck when you're champion and undefeated in the UFC lol. Strickland is way cleaner but that doesn't mean he's better. DDP has won every round so far IMO.

All he needs to do is throw as many punches and leg strikes in the first three rounds and he wins the majority. It works for sure, but not my type of fighting. It's like finding cheat codes for games.

 

[Deadpool8812]

They're just 2 boring fighters

He breathes heavy through his mouth, but he keeps going. Just unusual. Which sums up DDP to a tee.

You can say that about a lot of styles though. A wrestler who goes for takedowns and tries to hold their opponent down is accused of being boring and lay n pray.

Dricus is unorthodox but it's clearly effective, more effective than the clean boxer or kickboxer, so... He's better.
