Strickland will Soldic Du Plessis

[chinarice]

Which is exactly our point, never said he couldn’t win by tko, but he can’t get a first round ko because one fighter is Strickland and the other is soldic. Sean would need to whittle him down for a whole fight before he could put dricus away

It's like Silva matrixing someone to finish them. Sean can't matrix people to finish them but yeah, he can still get people out of there by overwhelming them. That's how he wins fights. He doesn't fight like Silva and likely couldn't replicate a finish the way Silva does. Doesn't mean he CAN'T finish someone by strikes.

Patiently waiting for TS' screenshot of a bet of at least $500 since he's so confident. Don't be a bitch like other posters in the past and back up your talk with a $10 bet or none at all

Sean will put up his wimpy gloves and attempt a basic boxing shell, which DDP will crack

 

[Paynebringer]

Soldic has dynamite in his hands, Strickland has pillow fists so no I can’t see it.

It will be either Strickland by his usual point fighting decision, or Dricus by knock out.

If Strickland gets a stoppage it will be because Dricus gases and Sean lands 50 weak strikes that go unanswered.

Strickland is way too standard and predictable in style for THE tactition ways of DDP...

 

[Pepy]

Soldics a beast

shame he didnt come to UFC but again, it was USADA era

I don’t think that present day Soldic could do anything close to his past accomplishments to present day DDP

Why

Eleven.

Do you know what KO means?

Strickland will make dricus striking look sloppy.

Dricus natural aggression will only get him beaten up worse.

Do you know what KO means?

Yep. It's also completely subjective. Fights have been ruled KOs while the guy is still attempting to fight back and TKOs while they're starched.

Stoppages by strikes are stoppages by strikes.

That's a silly arguement to make. There's a big difference between someone that has one punch KO power and someone that doesn't.

At a lower level, sure. At the top, it's typically equalized by volume, pressure, speed, and accuracy. If you can force a stoppage by concussing your opponent and knocking them down, then you have power.
Take Colby for example. He uses plenty of volume and pressure, but he rarely stuns or drops his opponents. That's vastly different to someone like Sean who does drop his opponents or light them up, but stays moving and doesn't deviate from his gameplan.

He meant the manner in which Soldic did because Strickland doesn't fight like that. I don't think they meant he can't win by TKO.....

Soldic finished DDP in the 3rd round, not 1st. Strickland almost finished Adesanya in the 1st, so maybe a 1st round finish is possible anyways.

And he for sure implied Strickland can't get the finish against DDP:
TS: "outcome will be Du Plessis getting TKO/KOd by Strickland"
reply: "When has Strickland ever shown half the power Soldic has? He can certainly win, but not in that fashion lol"

Hard to call a guy pillow fisted who dropped Izzy in round 1.

Yeah, not the way Soldic does because Sean doesn't fight like him.

You can basically say anyone can beat anyone by TKO/KO because it's possible...

Soldic would be good name for a gigolo

I think DDP manhandles Strickland in the clinch and on the ground. GnP stoppage.

 

[Muay Thai #1]

Sean fights nothing like Soldic lol

Also, Dricus movement has changed a lot from this fight. He also doesn't carelessly blitz like he used to (which got him caught at times)

At any level it's a silly argument. A fighter won't gameplan against a guy with one punch KO power the same way they will against a guy that has to land volume to get a finish.
