Former UFC champion in two weight classes Daniel Cormier analyzed the fight Sean Strickland And Dricus Du Plessis, which took place last weekend at the UFC 297 tournament in Toronto.

Du Plessis won a split decision and captured the title in the promotion's middle division.

“Sean started the fight great by relying on the jab. He landed a couple of bruises on Du Plessis's face with his punches. It is necessary to praise Drikus for the adjustments he made during the meeting. He did this in every round and finally the third was the turning point.

This segment determined the outcome of the confrontation. Because one judge gave it to Sean, and the other two gave it to Drikus. Everything else was rated equally on the cards,” Cormier said on the author’s YouTube channel.
