Four days till fun and freaky Sean Strickland vs DDP fight and we barely have a discussion here Cheesy

While we previously had a hot discussion when Strickland all of a sudden became a champ Cheesy

What are your prediction right now? Will Strickland be able to make at least one title defence, or has got that belt by luck (or gonna lose it because he is such a reckless guy). Imho DDP is going to knock him out this weekend. I close my eyes and see it is going to be something similar to what Pereira did, also a punch.

Also I am curious who would be able to knock DDP out among current middle weight fighters. Seems that he has sold his chin to devil in exchange to having it like rock for 10-15 fights (but then it is gonna turn into glass).

I didn't think he got lucky. I think he actually did the hard work and he was able to earn the belt. Now there is a catch. People will tell me that if he actually earned the belt, he should be able to defend the belt successfully, but I think it is going to be hard for him for sure.

I don't know if DDP will knock him out or not. But I think this is a hard fight for Strickland and I won't be surprised if he actually gets knocked out by Du Plessis. But it is also not going to be a surprise for me if Strickland can actually win this fight.

What I am trying to say is that this fight is going to be 50-50 for both of the fighters. And I also think that in this fight, timing is going to be everything.

Yup, it wasn't luck but we can't deny that part of it had something to do with Adesanya being off. He didn't look sharp that night... Even DDP would've won if he was fighting in the cage. He might have even finished Adesanya.

As for Strickland vs DDP, it's either DDP getting the finish early or Strickland wins late. I'm going for the former. Strickland loves applying pressure to his opponents and DDP will meet him in the middle making the match a total car crash. Can't wait.

This episode wasn't as good as the one prior.
