Strickland actually looked like he was slowing down at R3 and R4 and it was DDP that started to look surprisingly good on those rounds. Be it a change of pace on DDP's side or Strickland getting tired because he couldn't set the tempo like he did Adesanya, I don't know...
Anyway, just noticed that we have another gap week. :/ So no UFC this weekend folks. Sucks...

It is not that DDP was tired in championship round, but Strickland looked more fresh. Ive noticed he has good tank in late rounds agains Adesanya. In general, I like main event fight. I think Strickland landed more strikes. That would be enough to win imho, but it was DDP who welcomed each strike with face.
I dont agree with split decision. Draw would be better result, followed by a rematch. Becoming a champ via SD. I dont know. That is so shaking. Who faces DDP now? Izzy?
P.S. Feel sad for Strickland, as I think hype around him going to go really low, but he is such a funny guy
