PBP UFC 293 - Adesanya vs. Strickland: Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat 9/9 at 10PM ET/7PM PT

[Ironheart]

Guys I have a question

...

WHAT THE FUCK?!

Strickland made a fool out of me and I'm super happy for him for it!

 

[regmma123]

Only joke here is Adesanyas performance.

Agreed. What the hell was that

 

[GoGetSomeFansJon]

Izzy looked pretty gassed by Seans pressure. Sean also did great work by checking the leg kicks. Alex for sure has given fighters the blue print on how to attack Izzy no doubt.

 

[ZxxRnn]

izzy won’t do anything in lhw, he’s better off at ww

 

[linvillegorge]

Will it be DDP or instant rematch? DDP might have made a big mistake because of Izzy came out of this relatively healthy I'm betting heavily on instant rematch.

 

[Afrikan]

I don't think Adesanya ever really recovered from getting hurt in the first round.

Izzy looked fresh after that though.. his shit just wasn't working against Sean's defense.

I do think just standing with Sean plays into his game... if Izzy gets the rematch, Izzy gotta mix it up.

The way Sean lifts his leg while doing his shell, is easy there for a take down for a top ranked fighter.

 

[Sparky]

Ironically Izzy is always classy in defeat he's a sore winner.

Remember UFC 1 when Ken lost to Royce then had all that class immediately afterward? It's a proud tradition in MMA and makes me a bigger fan every time.

 

[Andy 93]

They clearly wanted Izzy to win from the UFC 5 advert lol

 

[kdday]

This crow tastes so fucking delicious, I’m so happy to eat it.

He was laser focused, he didn't bite one feint just jabbed and blocked everything, It was amazing

 

[WokeWarrior]

ITS BEEN FUN SHERDOG ,

ILL BE BACK HATE WILL NEVER WIN IN THE LONG TERM THO

 

[The Bard]

You could see in round one it looked like he ate a quarter pound of Adderall. Guy was locked the fuck in.

 

[whatt_]

Jake Paul would KO these goofs easy

 

[dmwalking]

Strickland with a belt on...what a joke

he beat the champ man. Styles make fights. Most of us thought Sean’s best hope was grappling. He did it on the feet. He earned that shit. Can’t knock that. Styles make fights. That Philly shell is a motherfucker.

 

[AtlSteel]

Hubris. A bad thing.

 

[BoogerDawson]

Great performance by Sean.

 

[Bia]

i had doubt when seeing Sean's defense posture and expected Izzy to exploit it but man I was so wrong! Massive performance by Sean, total domination

 

[pv3Hpv3p]

Strickland with a belt on...what a joke

You didn't watch the fight?

Love him or hate him, dude earned it... people can get better

 

[Pierced7681]

Maybe. Maybe just shattered his confidence.

Anytime you get rocked and dropped like that your brain is gonna smash around in your skull

 

[Carrotman23]

"Sean looks shook"

He did and was (said so himself) , man just fought threw it, which is even more impressive. hats off to him that was incredible

 

[Ares Black]

Strickland seems like a genuine guy when he's not playing a role of mega douche.

 

[SplashB]

Amazing show...capped off perfectly with Strickland winning the belt. I love this sport!

 

[Substance Abuse]

Great defence and boxing, he checked a ton of kicks and that teep to the body was beautiful. Brilliant performance from Sean.

Truly was.
