The av pendulum never swings my way.

strickland is a 1 dimensional fighter like poatan and izzyMan, I am pretty bummed about Strickland losing. Because he's the most refreshing champion we've had in a long time. I guess I wanted to see him keep on talking and just sort of see what he would say next. Maybe because I really liked how he's reminding America what it means to be his own man and not afraid to say what's on his mind. There's so many people afraid to stand up or talk about what they really believe in. And now that he's not champion any more, it's just a little bit different.
Dana was never my friend but he was right when he said Strickland won the fight. And he really was sort of robbed. DDP didn't do enough to win the fight. He fought a good fight but it wasn't enough especially as the challenger. Strickland inflicted massive damage.
I was rooting for Strickland, but he kinda blew it. Could've won with just a little bit more. Dude has that passive, static lack of urgency - very Diaz'esque, Joe - with decent output and cardio, but he just runs out of time. He spars a lot, but there won't be an endless sparring session. Those 25 minutes just fly by in there. DDP just made it look like he was doing and wanting it more in there, I understand how it bamboozled the judges enough to give him the nod. And this didn't feel like a robbery. Just an uncomfortably close fight between two very different styles.
With this said, don't be sad. If anything, Strickland is one of the very few guys who legitimately knows how to deal with a loss. Losing 2 back to back didn't distract him at all, came back and won the belt. Plus, he's awesome at taking on all challengers and bringing fresh blood into the division, and not caring who draws or not - no one at the top was gonna fight Pereira, for example. And he's good enough to beat the necessary amount of top guys to stay relevant for as long as he's physically capable. Add to it, besides the Alex fight, his losses don't feel like losses - like hopeless, cap ends for match ups. No one would be surprised if he rematched Cannonier and DDP right now and won. Dude and his career are just different.
Dana wants Strickland there because he knows how to garner interest and sell a fight.Dana was never my friend but he was right when he said Strickland won the fight. And he really was sort of robbed.

No there aren't. This is one of the most outspoken periods in history, short of like the hippie movement overlapping of the Vietnam protests and Civil rightsThere's so many people afraid to stand up or talk about what they really believe in.
Way too many people are vaulting 'speaking their mind' over what really should be the first criteria: having a mind. The problem lots of society has is too many people speaking. No one respects expert opinion anymoreWe actually need people that speak their mind in a way that isn't divisive. Sean is toxic to the title. There are a lot of fools that "speak their mind" in the way that Sean does, that called being obnoxious, and it isn't the kind of talk that is ever helpful.
And this is why people think ddp won. They are biased and hate Sean.
Hmm, I guess he for sure won that one round then, at least.there's no way sean lost the fight, only due to corrupt judging.
http://ufcstats.com/fight-details/14e53999507c76a7 - the numbers dont lie. 76 more head strikes, 36 more significant strikes, doubled the output of strikes landed in round 1 alone.
Brawling can get KO's. What a surprise.That 'average brawler' kod Robert Whittaker tho
DDP is a giant enemy crab and Strickland attacked his weak point.inflicted massive damage? with what? his jabs? he swole DDP's eye up. that's it. DDP landed like 2 punches and Sean's face was a crimson mask.
I think Sean acts like a mentally disturbed 14 year old edgelord who dishes shit he can't take too, and I thought he won.And this is why people think ddp won. They are biased and hate Sean.

I'm pretty bummed I spent an afternoon illegally streaming it when I could've mowed my lawn.I'm pretty bummed that I spent $80 and wasted my time watching that fight + card.
He was the only people's champ with the belt ever. There were royalties like Conor, Izzy, Suga, born winners and talents like Jones etc.Man, I am pretty bummed about Strickland losing.

Actually i'm pretty happy that pedos and satanists are not allowed to stand up and talk about their hobbies in every sport related interviews, but to each his own in libertyland, i guessThere's so many people afraid to stand up or talk about what they really believe in
