Introduction to Video Content

In this video, we will be discussing the main event of UFC Two Ninety Seven, where Sean Strickland will be defending his title against Drikus Du Plessis. As MMA fans, we know that a fighter's skills are crucial in determining the outcome of a fight. These skills can be categorized into striking, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, cardio, power, strength, heart, and finishing ability. We will go through each category to analyze and predict the winner of this weekend's fight. Both fighters have had impressive journeys to the top. Strickland has overcome various challenges and boasts a professional record of twenty-eight wins, five losses, with eleven knockout victories and four submission victories. He has been knocked out twice and has lost three times by decision. Currently, Strickland is on a three-fight win streak. In his last five fights, he defeated Abus Magomedov, an undefeated fighter, in round two, and won via decision against Nazardin Immovov. However, he suffered losses against Jared Kananir and Alex Berrera, the latter resulting in a first-round knockout.On the other hand, Du Plessis has an exceptional record of twenty wins and two losses, with nineteen finishes including nine knockouts and ten submissions. With such an impressive resume, he poses a significant threat to Strickland. By analyzing the fighters' records and recent performances, we aim to determine the outcome of their upcoming clash. Stay tuned to find out who we believe will emerge victorious in this highly anticipated fight.

Subtitles section

All right, today we're going to talk about the main event going down this Saturday.

And you already know what that is.

Of course, it's UFC Two Ninety Seven.

Sean Strickland defending against Drikus Du Plessis.

You know it because you're a hardcore MMA fan.

That is why you subscribe to this channel.

Thank you all six hundred and two thousand of you.

And if you haven't subscribed yet, what are you waiting for?

Anyway.

So mixed martial arts, the best sport on the planet.

And when you're talking about a fighter, you're talking about their skill and it comes down to several different categories.

We're talking about striking, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, cardio, power, strength, heart and finishing ability.

Okay.

So we're going to go through each one of them.

And we're going to try and figure out who is going to win this fight this weekend.

Now, if you look at the careers of both men, they've both had incredible rises to the top.

Strickland had a harder path, OK?

He's got a professional record of twenty eight wins, five losses, eleven knockout victories, four submission victories, and he's been knocked out two times, and he's lost three times by decision.

Currently, Strickland's on a three fight win streak.

Adesanya became the champ, stopped Abus Magomedov, an undefeated fighter, in round two, and beat Nazardin Immovov before that via decision.

Prior to that, lost to Jared Kananir, and he lost to Alex Berrera when he was knocked out in the first round.

So that's the last five fights of Sean Strickland.

When we switch to Drix Duplessis, right, this man, unbelievable record, twenty in two, twenty victories, nineteen finishes, nine knockouts, ten submissions.

Six wins in the UFC, six stoppages, Robert Whittaker, Derek Brunson, Darren Till, Brad Tobias, Trevor Giles, Marcus Pérez.

As I said, all finishes.

So we're going to go now through the individual skill sets and who I think is better in each of those areas.

Then we're going to look at the actual official stats and try and figure out, as I say, who wins this fight.

And I want to know your opinion as well.

So let's get started with the striking.

Okay, striking, the fight starts on his feet, as we know.

This goes down over five rounds.

Striking, if there's no takedowns involved, that's what the fight's all about.

In my opinion, technically, when you look at the fighters, Sean Strickland is a more technical striker, okay?

Uses that jab really well.

He's got beautiful footwork, okay?

Pumps that jab out, and when he gets comfortable, follows it up with the right hand, and if he has his opponent hurt, he lets them go.

He's not the biggest kicker, and he's not the hardest puncher, and that's why, on his record, he's got more decisions than what Dricus Duplassie has.

Strickland has won, as I said, via decision, thirteen times.

Doesn't have the raw firepower.

Now, technique is one thing.

but also how effective are you?

Classic example.

I will say day and night, I'm a better, more technical striker, more polished than Dan Henderson.

When I fought him at UFC one hundred, my boxing coach was like, this guy's terrible.

He couldn't box eggs.

Okay.

He couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag, but he knocked me out unconscious because

You don't have to be the best striker in the world to go forward and just swing a massive H bomb and knock me into another dimension.

No, technically wasn't as good, but he was effective.

So you have to factor these things in when you're talking about it.

Now, given all that combined, I think Drick is Duplessis is the best striker.

He believes in himself more.

He walks forward.

He's more aggressive.

Okay.

And he's more effective.

That's why only one of his fights has ever gone to a decision.

So striking, I've got Jiggy Du Plessis as the better striker.

Now we go to the next part of mixed martial arts.

The fight starts on the feet, right?

Then you can go into the clinch where you can strike knee, elbow, shoulder bumps.

But if it's going to hit the ground, if you're going to utilize the jujitsu, you've got to be a good wrestler.

So who is the better wrestler?

Well, in my opinion, we don't really see Shawn going for too many takedowns.

Yes, of course, he's completed takedowns.

Yes, he knows how to defend takedowns.

And yes, he's a big, strong man.

He's the middleweight champion of the world, crying out loud.

But who utilizes wrestling more?

Well, that's Drikus Duplessis.

Look at the fight with Darren Till.

He took Till down time after time after time.

He was very aggressive with

And of course, with the bigger size that he has, the more muscles, the power that he has, and the determination, and the fact that he sets them up behind massive shots, he's a much more effective striker.

So, I think on paper, when you look at this, Drikus, once again, has the better wrestling.

All right, this weekend is UFC II Ninety Seven.

Now we move on to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

That comes into play once you start on the feet, then you use the rest and you hit the ground.

Now, who's got the better Jiu Jitsu?

Now, I'm not forming a case for Dukas Duplessis, but the facts say this.

Dukas Duplessis has ten submissions.

Sean Strickland only has four.

OK, now I know for a fact, because I've trained with Strickland many times, he's got great Jiu Jitsu.

We just don't see it very often because he prefers to fight on his feet.

He prefers to use the boxing predominantly.

It doesn't work, you guys.

It just don't work.

So we don't see it that often, but just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

But when you factor into the equation, Drikus has got ten submissions, and then you factor into the equation that he defeated an entire Gracie Baha team.

In a Quintet match, he had a guillotine, a one armed guillotine, a north south choke, a dodge choke, and he won the other match on points.

He took out an entire team of Gracies.

He did a lot of them via submissions.

He's got the most submissions on the record.

He's the better jiu jitsu guy.

So, so far,

We have Drake as the better striker, we have him the better wrestler, and we have him the better jujitsu player as well.

Put it all together, starting to trend towards Drake's duplessis, but we are not done yet.

No, we're going to talk about power.

We got to talk about strength because when you're applying submissions, it's important.

When you're trying to take someone down, it's very important.

And when you're trying to shove a right hand through somebody's face, my God, the more power it has, the more firepower in that punch.

Of course, it's a big, big factor.

Gotta go with Drickus du Plessis.

The man is an absolutely brutal striker.

And that's partly because he isn't quite as technical as Sean Strickland.

He does load up on his shots.

He does swing with nasty intentions.

He does throw with reckless abandon at times, okay?

And it doesn't seem to be the most technical, but it does find the mark.

And the way that he swings, because he's always throwing power punches, he's got more power.

Strickland uses a lot of jabs.

Don't get me wrong, that right hand that he rocked out of Sonya with, plenty of firepower behind that one.

I'm sure I'm not saying the man can't punch.

But at some point, we all lose, you know?

And you could be like Izzy, laying in a bathtub of flower petals, and you could have an entourage of people following you around.

But at some point, someone's going to make fun of you for having sex with your dog, and then you're going to crumble as a human being and get a DUI.

That's just not me, because I'm level.

But you've got to go with Drikus Du Plessis when you're talking about power.

And of course, when it hits the ground, the ground and part of Drikus Du Plessis is nasty as hell.

I mean, let's remember, he dropped Robert Whittaker with a jab for crying out loud, the elbows on the ground.

He just lets loose with everything that he has.

So the power, I got to go with Drikus Du Plessis.

OK, so far, all the boxes are ticked on the side of Drikus.

Now, cardio.

Who has the better cardio?

This is an easy one.

The better cardio goes to Sean Strickland.

Of course it does.

Drickens du Plessis has shown throughout his fights that he does get tired.

Now that's due to several reasons.

Number one, he swings with everything he has.

When you're swinging hard, you get more tired.

It's not as conservative an approach.

It's like when you're redlining your car.

When you've got the foot down the whole time, you burn through the gas.

way quicker.

If you're just nice and steady around town, okay, that tank of gas is going to last you forever.

Another example, think about this.

If you ever work out on a bike, if you do a bit of bike work here and there, if you're pitter patting away, just jazz, ba ba ba ba bum, putting together nice little combinations, but you're not loading up, you can go all day.

But when you start really swinging like a madman, you're trying to do damage.

Or anytime anyone puts a camera on you, if you're a professional fighter, you start keying off on that bag.

You start going to work as hard as you can and you get tired very, very quickly.

Now, of course, Diggs Du Plessis had a nose issue.

After the Derek Brunson fight, he had the nose fixed.

So apparently now he can breathe better.

But Sean Strickland has better cardio.

It's as simple as that.

The man spas all the time.

And that's a big reason why his cardio is so good, because

If you're getting ready to play tennis, you play more tennis.

If you want to get better at football, you play more football.

Snooker, you practice more snooker, billiards, pool, whatever you call it.

Sean Strickland spars all the time.

So that gets him ready with that kind of combat, that kind of output, that kind of pressure.

that kind of breathing, because a lot of the time when people are swinging, when they're in the heat at the moment, they forget to breathe.

The more sparring you do, the more mentally you are prepared, the calmer your heart rate is, and generally calmer the person is.

The calmer you are, the heart isn't beating as fast and you don't win quite as easy.

So listen, I think that's an easy decision to make.

Sean Strickland wins the cardio debate all day long.

Then we come to finishing ability.

Well, as I said, Dricius Duplessis, twenty wins, nineteen finishes, ten submissions, nine knockouts.

That's an easy one.

Sean Strickland can finish people.

Of course he can.

But on the record, just by the stats alone, eleven knockouts, four submissions, he's finished fifteen out of twenty eight fights.

Dricius, nineteen out of twenty.

That's an easy one.

Now we get to heart.

Now we get to reason why.

Now we get to purpose.

Now we get to why we're doing it.

Now we get to the intangibles.

Okay.

This cannot be measured.

It simply can't.

Some people just want it more than others.

Now, when we talk about power, when we talk about cardio and all this type of thing, right, it's the heart often that drives a lot of it.

Sometimes when you're running and you're getting tired, you refuse to give up.

You push to the next level.

It is a mental barrier.

I remember taking my son out on a run.

He was preparing for a wrestling match.

And he's like, I'm too tired.

I'm too tired.

I'm like, that's a choice you're making right now.

You can always push it up a gear.

You can always find your second win.

You can always refuse to say, no, I'm not giving up.

I'm going to continue to push.

It's easy to quit.

It's easy to say I'm tired.

It's easy to curl up in a ball.

How bad do you fucking want it?

OK, well, I'll tell you what, Sean Strickland wants this.

We know about his background, that Drick is even toyed with and played with and brought up.

Sean Strickland said he's going to stab him.

OK, I don't think he's going to stab him.

That's just showing how annoyed, how angry he is and how badly he wants to win this fight.

And ultimately, it comes down to male pride.

OK, you're not going to let this other man beat me at my own game in front of the entire world.

And especially when there's money, fame and fortune on the line and the middleweight championship of the world.

But I'll say this, Douglas Duplessis is showing a lot of heart as well.

Right.

The times he has been tired, he's just choosing to push through that pain barrier that I spoke about a moment ago.

So I think when it comes to Hoyt, I think it's a dead even.

I think both men want this just as much as the other one.

So that's the opinion based stuff.

Now let's have a look at the actual facts.

So the facts here, these are the official stat sheet.

Okay.

Then when you look at the stat sheet, right, striking.

Average fight length, okay, Strickland, fourteen minutes, forty three, Drikus, nine eleven, shorter fights.

Average knockdowns per fifteen minutes, okay, again, we have here, point three one, one oh nine, Drikus ahead there.

Strikes landed per minute, five point eight two, six point nine five for Drikus.

Again, all trending towards Drikus.

Striking accuracy, fifty six percent for Drikus to forty nine, forty one, sorry, pardon me, go down a little bit here.

Strikes absorbed per minute, Sean exhausts,

more strikes, four point two four to three point seven nine.

Striking defence shown as in beat here, sixty three point two percent to fifty three.

And the striking differential we can see there, three point one six to one point five nine.

Drikus has in beat there as well.

But when we go down here to the takedowns per average, two point seven two to point nine two for Drikus.

Takedown accuracy, fifty percent to sixty four percent.

Takedown defence, forty to eighty four percent.

Sean Strickland wins that one.

And submission attempts, one point oh nine to point two per fifteen minutes for Drukis Du Plessis.

He's ahead.

So he's ahead on all the stats.

He's ahead on all my bullet points.

He's ahead in general and he's trending towards a victory.

But will he get the job done?

Does he win this fight?

Because upsets happen for a reason.

We see it all the time, right?

Luke Rockhold,

was probably the same way.

Ahead in skill, submissions, finishing ability.

He'd finish me.

The bookies had him favoured.

I bet he lands more strikes.

He looks better.

He's taller.

The man was a fucking model.

But I still knocked him out in the first round.

So that just goes to show you never know what's going to happen in a fight.

So all said and done, who wins this fight?

Let me know in the comments section.

And as I said at the beginning, subscribe and ring the bell.

See you soon.

Yeah.
