anyway, was he robbed in this fight just as comments on many videos online?
I wouldn't say so. Even though I wanted Sean to win, my impression was that Dricus did a bit better in that fight and deserved to have his hand raised.
But as always, whenever there's a split decision and the belt is on the line, there will be talks about the "robbery".
Of course, Sean disagrees:

But I don't think we can equate Strickland with Nate Diaz. (...)
I didn't equate those two (I think Strickland > Nate). Just pointed out that having the belt or even winning fights is not necessary to keep the hype up.
