French UFC middleweight Nassurdin Imavov spoke out about the fact that Sean Strickland was able to win the promotion's middleweight champion belt, and also did not agree with the result of the fight between Sean and Dricus Du Plessis
“To be honest, I don’t even know why the judges decided this way. The fight was really very close, but for me Strickland won. Maybe Strickland's statements and behavior influenced the judges. I told my friends even before the fight with Israel Adesanya that he is a very difficult opponent for many high-level fighters. This is what we saw with Adesanya. He’s a good kickboxer who’s had a lot of fights, but Strickland beat him in striking because he’s awkward.”
Let us remember that Strickland lost to Du Plessis by split decision, giving him the championship belt.
