Who won - Strickland or DDP?

Who won? Never saw the fight. Seems like most think Strickland won, but some pretty vocal minority. What do you think?

It was close and Dricus won. Maybe the people who view Strickland as the winner have the philosophy of the challenger needing to clearly dominate the champion to win the fight. If that were the case can see how some would think Strickland came out on top. In the five round, 10 point must system DDP did enough.

It was an extremely close fight. Like one of the closest I’ve ever seen

I do remember thinking immediately after the fight that DDP barely edged it out by a hair, although I wanted Sean to win

Seems like it hinged on the third round. Otherwise, at least, the judges were unanimous.

Dricus won a close fight. Looking forward to the rematch. I think ddp wins more decisively this time.

Close fight but I think Sean won. Didn’t think he looked as good as he normally does but he did better against Dricus than anyone else I’ve seen lately

I thought Sean won originally but just watched it again and he wasn’t too aggressive. But i guess thats his style.

I think DDP did enough to win , Strickland coasted too much

DDP was the right call, but Strickland gave it away (through inactivity) more than DDP took it.

I really wish takedowns were valued less. A takedown without either causing damage or threatening a submission should have near zero impact on the scorecard.
