    What does Du Plessis need to improve upon before fighting Strickland?

    Getting tagged a lot eventually catches up to you. So he needs to tighten up his striking defense. Also, how good is he off of his back if Strickland surprises everyone and takes him down?

    What does Du Plessis need to improve upon before fighting Strickland?

    His top control on Till wasn't great and Till isn't known for his wrestling. Strickland's tank looked great against Izzy but he was utilizing very little energy. If Du Plessis can get and keep Strickland down he'll win but I don't see him winning a decision, I think he'll finish Strickland...

    What does Du Plessis need to improve upon before fighting Strickland?

    I have never seen a Du Plessis fight so I pulled up his fight against Till. He looked gassed (although he's apparently had surgery with his nose that will help that). His ground control could use some work. Till reversed him at least once and he looked a bit sloppy on the feet. What does Du...

    The greatest moment in MMA history

    Having a lot of people say that Francis won the decision and others saying he let Tyson off the hook in the 8th round. They say a little more action in the 10th round could have guaranteed him a victory. Does anyone think Ngannou might have held back because he wasn't going to ever win the fight?

    I wasn't able to watch the fight but have heard some people say that Ngannou was cheated. Who think Ngannou was cheated against Fury?

    I did not realize Extreme Couture failed.

    Does Izzy vs. Strickland remind you of Sylvia vs. Couture?

    These two fights are similar in a few ways. Both had underdogs against the champ, both landed a big shot in the beginning of the 1st round that dropper there opponent and set the tone for the rest of the fight by not allowing the champ to gain their rhythm. And both fights ended in a dominant...

    Heavyweight might be the weakest it's ever been

    Unreal how fast and skilled these HW's were. Two of the greatest of all time and obviously the GOAT Fedor.

    How do you see the Izzy vs. Strickland rematch going? - What will be different?

    So, we know Dana doesn't want Strickland as champ and it appears wants an immediate rematch whether it's deserved or not. I honestly think instant rematches only should be if a fight ended in controversy, tragedy (fighter steps back and blows his knee out), or an extremely close fight that went...

    Teddy Atlas

    Styles make fights. Strickland used high pressure, low output striking, checked kicks, and did not over-extend himself leaving him open to counters. By not throwing a ton of strikes there wasn't much for Izzy to counter. Atlas said Strickland should have thrown more combos but by not striking...

    Does Strickland have the best stand up/striking defence in MMA today?

    Styles make fights. Strickland used high pressure, low output striking, checked kicks, and did not over-extend himself leaving him open to counters. By not throwing a ton of strikes there wasn't much for Izzy to counter.

    Dana is mad

    The pressure was the big part. Pressure while not over-extending and leaving himself vulnerable.

    Izzy's legacy is DONE

    This. So many guys overextend themselves which is what counter-strikers are waiting for.

    How similar are the chances for Strickland vs. Izzy compared to Weidman vs. Anderson?

    I know that Weidman had very good wrestling but don't recall if he was elite at anything. The only Strickland fight I've seen is him getting KO'd by Alex Pereira. I've read that he doesn't have good striking, wrestling, or ground game and that this will be an easy win for Izzy. If I recall...

    What is Strickland's chance against Izzy?

    Great striking but his wrestling and ground game weren't great. He got beat up on the ground by Chael Sonnen.
