Facts, not a lot of fighters could pull that off with weight cuts being a factor. Sean had to cut some weight almost immediately after just gaining some again because he wasn’t even sure if he’ll get the fight or not, even after having a small vacation. Adesanya didn’t have to worry, having almost 2 months more over Sean to prep.

[@112233JORDAN]

It's like Dana is trying to have his people set up the rematch as if its deserving. They are setting the table for an excuse since it wasn't even close. How else could they justify a rematch if not "Izzy wasn't himself"? Long reigning champ? No, he recently lost the belt

[@Marcus-gx4jr]

So many people saying “izzy was off” as if that wasn’t completely due to Sean. Izzy did what he almost always if not always does; come out in the first round and make reads. Everything changed when Sean dropped him. I truly believe that’s when it all changed, I believe after that, after all that was said by everyone; izzy couldn’t afford to get Ko’d/Tko’d by Sean and it was more about not getting finished by Sean than anything else. Izzy only started to “look bad” after Sean dropped him. Up until that point that fist round was business as usual. Nobody was saying izzy looked off until AFTER he got dropped LOL

[@danielnicholson25]

Agree. He just didn’t know what to do with Sean style and was scared to get Koed after round 1

[@youngmillionaire7480]

Izzy was off for sure, he looked slow and kept backing up. No excuses tho. Sean capitalized just like Juliana pena did

[@nsbdbsbsbdbzbz8555]

Yeah Youre gonna be ”off”. When you get your face batterd in the first round and almost not survicing lamo. That was what Dana said and now people are running with it. Fuck izzy

[@dranreb1118]

Also, people don't think about what actually happens in their minds INSIDE the cage. Costa couldn't charge against Izzy because he got countered every time. That's what happened to Izzy tonight. He thought he was gonna tear Sean apart with leg and body kicks because he stands straight up. Sean was able to check those and wasn't affected by it. He thought Sean had no punching power but he was the 1st guy to drop him. Izzy also has good jabs and counters and he couldn't jab Sean bc he got countered and he couldn't counter bc Sean didn't overextend himself. There were a few times Izzy tried playing possum like he did against Alex and it just wasn't there for him. Sean and his coaches were smart to it.

[@Marcus-gx4jr]

@@youngmillionaire7480 yes but that’s all due to Sean. Izzy didn’t look “off” before the knockdown. He was back peddling because Sean is a pressure fighter and Izzy is a counter striker. Izzy is also known For making reads and being a very intelligent fighter; that’s why he was back peddling, he was trying to make reads and counter. Saying he was off is just an excuse to take credit away from how much better Sean was in this particular matchup. And even if he was “off” it’s literally all because Sean clean his clock in that first round.

Izzy didn’t lose cause he was tired due to scheduling. Strickland actually fought later then he did and he has to travel half way across the world jet lagged and all, which Izzy said on his channel will be Sean demise. He was tired because he was fighting on the back foot the entire fight and that is what’s tiring. Constant pressure from Sean. I’ve said Izzy wins his fights on fighters making mistakes ask Poatan. Sean’s defense was incredible and that’s what allowed him to be in on the pressure and not give Izzy space to counter cleanly. He didn’t make any mistakes in there.

[@BiggHomieAK]

[@Tjbensinnington]

Izzy has never been a puncher. Idk if it's just me, but izzy looks awkward when he punches sometimes. Vetorri said izzy is more of a kicker. And Sean's defense shut down all the kicks, and whenever izzy punch Sean wasn't there, OR he clogged up the lane with his arms or a perry, BUT all his perries were never overreacting, he always was blocking the power side whether izzy was ortho or southpaw. It was beautiful to see the, I was so nervous the entire fight but after a while. I felt comfortable, It felt like Sean was never in a position to get hit. The only time I felt danger for him was the center of the octagon. Hence why seam ALWAYS had him against the cage for the duration of the fight. Beautiful really. Sean is a master. I told my girl last night, that all of Sean's sparring has made him so comfortable in the pocket, he's use to punches coming his way, he sees it all. It's weird looking, but manly as fuck at the same time haha

The “power” wasn’t it. Alex hits harder and that’s well-documented. Yet Izzy held out in the 1st fight until the 5th round, and did what he did in their second fight. Even Sean himself admitted he doesn’t hit hard. This has also been well-documented. So let’s not act like somehow Izzy was scared of Sean’s “power” of all people. I’ll give you two more… Yoel and Paulo also hit harder than Sean. Sean just fought a very technical fight with supreme defense all while putting the pressure on Izzy through very well-selected openings.

@@survivaltipsandtricks4042 that doesn’t makes any sense. The punch that caught Izzy was more of a testament to Sean’s accuracy than anything else. How’s about giving a better take like the saying of Mike Tyson, “it’s not the hardest punch that always knocks you out, it’s the one that you don’t see coming.” Sean has 28 wins, 11 by KO, 4 by Sub and 13 by Dec. Am I missing something or are people are now acting like Sean is a KO artist? Sean is like Colby in that they are better known for their accurate strikes and volume more so than their “power.”

This only snowballed from the third round where he could not land at all on Strickland and was constantly countered.

[@JAYTEAM187]

I had no doubt whatsoever that Sean would take him out. I was really surprised he was such an underdog in the fight. People look at maybe one or 2 of Strickland's fights that he lost and that defines his career to them. The guy has always been a monster that might have a couple losses, but overall he is unaffected by most punches he takes and no matter what, keeps coming forward. Izzy knew his punches were going to be nothing to him. He just tried to stay away and hope he got a lucky kick KO somehow. He is still an amazing kickboxer, but if you really look at his fights he compares to Mike Tyson when it comes to breaking your opponent down before the fight even starts. If you look at past press conferences Izzy beat almost all his opponents verbally destroying all the moral they had going into fights against him. You could see in Izzys eyes before the opening bell that he was already broken, about to go up against a man he knew had no fear of him whatsoever.

I honestly feel like I’m one of the only ones who ‘knew’ that Sean was going to win. Congrats Champ

[@davedave8608]

love the hot takes DC.. Oss

[@boomnailedit1609]

The coaches response at the end was great, I appreciate DC putting that clip in.

[@danielnicholson25]

Yeah but compare how much Sean has fought. He fought maybe more than Izzy and came to fight with short notice. Idk if Izzy being overworked is excuse. Best excuse is he was mentally drained from presser and the negative stuff that came out, tbh.

[@ShitWrangler]

Sean framed his defense well for parrying offense, he had perfect leg kick defense tensing up and checking, even when unnecessarily, nearly every exchange. He controlled a safe distance and never went crazy until the final ten seconds of the fight or when he had Izzy hurt in the first round and smothered his own repetitive offense that failed to finish the fight. It was perfect 'switched on' fighting from Strickland, and if he can maintain that level of alertness in the future Izzy can never beat him.

[@thefrozenone5035]

There is no excuses for Izzy he was just exposed

[@Denythematrix]

Those rare moments when the universe aligns correctly

[@emlabc17]

Great stuff as always, DC 💯💯

[@autoparts6664]

next time you make that observation dc ab the fighter being nervous on walk out ( sean o malley as well) you should say " sometimes nervous is good "

[@syntholshoulders1842]

Before this fight DC was the biggest doubter even questioning hes loss to connorier you can see him in the post interview he wasnt happy

[@skyybluu3118]

Great video thank you

[@buzzbuzzerson3592]

Gotta love DC. Great analysis as always.

[@yearzero7025]

Strickland is my spirit animal

[@nathanhiggins4163]

Daniel Cormier regains his status as the most biased commentator but the whole announcing backed him up on his bias last night. It was shameful.

[@street_preacher]

Was he bad? He didn't seem bad at all last night?

[@ttot20]

Agreed he was saying how Izzy figured out Sean in round 3. I even saw some bias from Laura as well.

[@jp8159]

great commentary: non-bias, good points or view from a champion. Thank you Daniel

[@Kubakaiser]

I literally teared up for the guy. First time ever.

[@diederikjournee5580]

Dana, hope you finally might see Sean (S, not o'Malley) is the biggest thing in your hands since Connor. He is more authentic then every other fighter i have seen since the 10 years I followed the UFC. He needs to get praised and paid for that.

[@evanlarsen9885]

We don’t get to start over though cause Dana is literally one of the worst things ever for MMA atm.

[@rowdyrod70]

Great analysis DC!

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Good points, agree about the next fights. No rematch.

[@mplovecraft]

If you listened to Sean on JRE you know that he was dealt an awful hand in life. He was put on earth to be a loser. To see him fight through everything and coming out a winner is amazing.

[@JokerzGallery]

Can we all agree Anderson Silva is officially the middleweight goat now?

[@randomuruk7230]

Never in doubt

[@JokerzGallery]

@@randomuruk7230 maybe not for some, but it's been a debate for a few years now. Mostly thanks to Joe Rogan saying it all the time. Him saying it was even featured on the highlight package they showed before the main event last night.

[@halilahmed279]

I was surprised as how often Sean was constantly moving forward all that while lifting his lead leg to check the leg kicks.

[@Ken_9000]

Great recap!

[@savage1469]

Sean the UFC champ I always wanted!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Izzy is cringe af

[@Ar1AnX1x]

I think Sean's defense was obviously better than people even realized he's a great boxer for MMA, but aside from that I think Izzy was also concussed for the rest of the fight which could have effected his accuracy and how he fought for the rest of the fight, fighters recover after they get knocked down but not completely, IMO. not that this means he'll win the rematch, I don't think so

[@ghagzor]

Yeah he was out on his feet and everyone acts like hes fine after 60 secs between rounds? Lol

[@Natsu4495]

While alex pereira beat him by ko in 1 round 😂. Alex is a monster

[@thomasre9382]

well he does train with world class boxers. and does pretty good against them. I dont think izzy is at that level, maybe at kicking.

[@greuju]

He wasn't out on his feet or drained he was clipped by a punch he thought he dodged. He recovered and defended the follow ups well. Izzy just has nothing if the person has no holes in their defense and they're his size. If kelvin was 2 inches taller we wouldn't even have to pretend like Izzy is that great. Kelvin beat the brakes off Izzy.

[@comfykeegs]

Beautiful words DC!

[@libertarianpunk8558]

Good commenting last night DC always been a fan how you smile to yourself when somebody says something crazy or funny

[@Justice4Skye]

Come on arguably it should have been 5-0 round 2 those strikes from Izzy were all checked leg kicks

[@sandman62100]

We did it! Sean Strickland is the very definition of alpha American badass. He fights, carries a gun, rides a motorcycle, and is totally against all the cancel culture PC BS. I can relate because I'm also a straight AF proud white alpha. People like us are so rare nowadays. In a world full of soyboy vegans, it's refreshing to know that certified alpha lions such as myself and Sean still roam the earth as badass dudes. 💪🏻 CONFEDERATE PRIDE!

[@calpatus1149]

Fo REEEL! i am an 16'70 foot sigma hyper yogurt destroyer male (im 18'80 with gear) and i have 500x the testosterone count in my bloodstream. In fact I have so much testosterone that I have a permanent blue glow around me that ionises people who dont have at least 15 kilograms of chest hair on them. i know im just so masculine... You see the difference between me and you is that you're a lion. a puny lion. I can crush a lion with EASE. i am a CHIMERA. A CHIMERA, YOU HEAR ME? people thought its mythological but NO here i am. i am the PEAK of masculinity, in fact i am beyond the peak of masculinity. my masculinity breaks quantum connections throughout the world. I am just so humble not showing this to make others feel ashamed of themselves for being such soyboy ultra hyper beta cuck losermaxxers... I also made the world. But I dont need thank yous. Your welcome...

[@samwho1731]

Alpha male? Yes Betas can sure recognize a Alpha male when they see one. Good job, bro. You're a true beta.

[@thomasre9382]

Hes an alpha male, for fighitng his dad at a young age and beating him and protecting his mom from getting abused. He actually got bullied by a lot of white people(he said in his interview, even tho he doesn't hate them), that why most of his friend are latino and black. they always there for him.

[@tricallyourmama]

DC, we love these fight vids immediately after the fights. Since you are recording on the phone try wireless mics that plug into the phone & are compact. It would def help the quality of the video. Pls don’t beat me up 💪🙏

[@Bape_JB]

Shoutout the DJ in the background, bro was playing straight bangers the whole video 😂

[@ophidianblack7073]

I hate that arguement of Izzy having a hectic schedule and that being the reasom why he lost to Sean. Look at Sean's schedule, it's just as hectic if not more hectic god damn it.

[@Mbro-dq2do]

How the fuck does LEGEND DC only have a couple hundred thousand followers. DC is amazing. Well done Sean!

[@lilhealthpack977]

That Jumpman into Dey Know transition was absolutely nuts, hope i’m not the only one that noticed the music

[@wnv-RawRow]

Yeah DC. Good shit !

[@416jr]

Sean is a great guy , been through the rough and now overcame all the bullshit and now is. A champ, congrats brother get that money

[@nostalgicambitions]

Great breakdown DC.

[@eviltwin4760]

Shawty Lo “Dey Know” playing in the background in the beginning lol. All the way in Australia that’s crazyyyyyyy !!!!!

[@charlestoddsullivanforpres6628]

Great video.

[@DRtillthedeathofm]

gotta love dc man last one in the arena paying them bills baby

[@ImpendingDisaster26]

Y’all playing Still Tippin in the background in Australia 😂

[@mxmali3353]

One of the best preformance I've ever seen hands down.

[@jaredgillard6498]

I bet you’ve seen a lot of crazy stuff happen in the history of the ufc but you have to agree that this is up there in the biggest upset of ufc history

[@HouStoneSZN]

Thanks DC
