Man, this is the least exciting main event I’ve seen in a long time. Adesanya is going to make easy work of Strickland,


I couldn’t have been more wrong and really enjoyed this card

Strickland was great in the embedded episodes and press conference. I didn't think he would win but am really happy for him.

I feel like the past few years a lot of the ones I thought would be shitty cards ended up being really good. I know it’s happened at least 3 or so times I thought they’d be boring …. Then it ends up being a really solid card.

Wait. Strickland noticeably beat the shite out of Izzy?

I didn’t even think for a second of buying this fight. Apologies to Strickland. Even as an Izzy fanboy, thought this fight was a foregone conclusion.

shout out to the judges and their scorecards for main event. Clean, correct scoring with no bullshite anomaly from a rogue judge.

Wouldn't have been scored like this in the US.

Strickland would have beat Izzy 10 more rounds tonight. I still can't believe it. Training with Pereira had to have really made a difference.

It wasn’t as bad as that makes it sound. But pretty one sided.

Beat him up all night long. Almost ended it in Rd 1. Izzy had zero answers for his jab, his rights, his defense and Sean checked almost every single leg kick Izzy threw.

Walked him down all night and owned him

Was pretty bad, and the fight honestly could have been stopped in the first round after that knockdown, fights have been stopped for much less.

Paint the fence, wax the car, sand the floor and paint the house won this fight. Strickland blocked everything Izzy threw.

It should have been 49-45 though.

To say that after 2 rounds, it was tied….is fricking ludicrous.

Round 1 almost got finished, was clearly a 10-8.

Wonder if they'll make the DDP vs Izzy fight or give DDP the title shot now

One judge had the 1st fricking 9 - 9...what the fricking frick fight did he watch.

Sean literally dropped Izzy on the mat and beat the living shite out of him for the final 15 secs of the round. If anything, it should have been 10-8 and the fight could have been stopped right there.

This sport consistently delivers. Even on a self proclaimed "weak card" you get a massive upset and now we head to Abu Dhabi. What a fantastic card with khamzat vs Paul Acosta and Islam.vs Oliveira in the much anticipated rematch for the strap. I cannot frigging wait. Only thing I'm disappointed about is that it's 5 weeks away.

Sherdog gave R2 to Izzy 10-9.

If Khanzhat comes out and merks Costa. He would be a big name and the pre-fight buildup would be absolute batshit crazy.

Really good.

My only gripe is the announcers acting like upsets only happen in mma. Come on lol
