Yeah man the former 170 Chimaev REALLY struggled to make 185, that's like blaming a Pereira loss on his cut to 205, everyone looks sad on the scales
Guy got his wrestling shut down after a round & his face pinged off with jabs, Strickland picked up where Usman & Burns left off
@borzsami@TH3CARPENT3R@THATBOYMMAGURU Outstruck him in 3 rounds and advancing counts for shit when you are taking more shots than you are dishing out. He lost rounds 2, 3 and 5, anyone that thinks otherwise is coping
Honestly I’m kinda happy Sean Strickland got the robbery decision bc the meltdown when Khamzat gets the rematch & dominates him (again) is going to be fucking hilarious
Just the people crying about it being undeserved will be music to my ears. Strickland is a fraud champ
@DovySimuMMA Its bit like Alex Pereira situation, he will need a couple of wins to repair it but his offensive style will enable him to beat alot of guys very easily. Ideally he needs the rematch with Strickland and dominant win to make his loss seem more like a fluke
@JacksonDeal7@TretoYasin36637@THATBOYMMAGURU Let me clarify
Khamzat shots caused Strickland head to move back and his body shots kept him along the cage.
Strickland had greater volume of Jabs to Khamzat guard and face which drew no visceral reaction.
To be the Champ you have to beat the Champ not stay on the backfoot
@locodreamin@Clownxlownclown@TH3CARPENT3R@THATBOYMMAGURU Reaction to a punch is a part of judging, Strickland head being cracked back or him being pushed back by Khamzat jab to the body mean more than Strickland jab with minimal effect
@Clownxlownclown@TH3CARPENT3R@THATBOYMMAGURU No or Israel Adesenya wouldn't have a career.
I just value punches that snap heads back and push the opponent back more than mild jabs on to the guard or face
@Clownxlownclown@TH3CARPENT3R@THATBOYMMAGURU Yes Strickland landed more Jabs on the back foot while Khamzat landed stronger blows on the front foot and there was clear power difference in Khamzat shots
@TretoYasin36637@THATBOYMMAGURU Which did not real damage. Sean has a broken nose, Khamzat face has bruises.
Khamzat jabs were pushing Sean's headback while Strickland jabs barely did anything. Khamzat walked through them
@TH3CARPENT3R@THATBOYMMAGURU Sean had a broken nose, Khamzat face easily bruises but he was literally walking through those baby jabs and snapping Strickland headback
