That’s not really the correct definition of MMA math. By MMA math calculations, Dustin would lose to Islam because Islam beat Oliveira, who beat Dustin. Predicting that Dustin will lose to Islam because Islam is an insanely strong pressure grappler, the kryptonite of modern Dustin, isn’t MMA math. It’s actual analysis

Important to note that Struve’s TKO over Miocic was preceded by some truly horrendous eye pokes. Stipe probably shouldn’t have continued fighting tbh

Yea that's about the most excusable upset lose you can think of. Not just the pokes, the shear fact that he's a 9 foot sasquatch person, how do you train for that? You can't find a sparring partner with similar dimensions and skills. Not making excuses, a loss is a loss, but if they ever had a rematch, there's little doubt that Stipe would have avenged the loss.

[@dscvr.f8896]

Thank you for reminding me of that bad decision in Cannonier vs Strickland. Strickland out struck him badly volume wise, and I think the only reason it was given to Cannonier is because of Sean's bloody nose.

[@depressedwillennial]

Damage is the first criteria. Sean had volume but not power as opposed to Jared who hits like a truck. Throwing a jab for 3 rounds is fine and all but when some mixes it up and does more damage then you lose

[@loketjakoprase285]

strickland won against cannonier though

[@KrikZ32]

he did zero damage to Jared through the entire fight. You can land pit pat shots all you want but volume isn't a scoring criteria, damage is. Nick Diaz used to pitpat and then once his opponent was cooked he'd lay the power on and land big shots, Sean's boxing is like Nick without any of the finishing instinct.

[@Steven-jd3ey]

​Jared did even less damage. He was swinging big but hitting nothing but arms and air.

Poirier is my favorite fighter but I honestly dont see him winning. Only way would be if he can somehow keep the fight on the feet. Which even then he wont be able to let his hands go comfortably due to the threat of the takedown.

Also he has mentioned and said the word retire out loud in front of people that is never a good sign when a fighter talks about that before a fight. That's my opinion and I hope I'm wrong LOL

[@glooomi6785]

Sean strickland is in his best game when his opponent is constantly going back and izzy does exactly that hes a counter heavy out fighter that’s exactly what sean wants izzy isnt a power puncher sean on purely style would win but everyone hyped izzy up so much they didnt look at what sean had done
