UFC 297: Strickland vs. Du Plessis
Watching some of the prelims now .... who you have winning the main event ? I'm thinking Strickland
Yeah he has come along way and has worked hard for it. he's more focused now more then ever!!
Dricus du Plessis is the UFC :-\ middleweight champion of the world after a split decision over Sean Strickland at UFC 297.
Du Plessis went five hard rounds – a first for him in his long MMA career – and captured two of three judges’ scorecards by scores of 48-47 to pick up his seventh UFC win and the middleweight title on Saturday night. One judge dissented 48-47 for Strickland, who was denied his first title defense after a massive upset win over Israel Adesanya this past year.

DDP fought great and deserved to win ... usually not a fan of split decisions ... there should definitely be a rematch in the near future. I also really appreciated how respectful and classy Sean was in defeat ... I always like to see sportsmanship like that
