Strickland completely abandoning kicks, especial the teep, IMO was the wrong gameplan. At the very least the could have landed a couple, and then used them as a feint. And just as I write this he lands a teep! And another! Ugh...
But Sean may have won it too! It seems like he landed so much more volume more Khamzat had those takedown attempts, but surely Sean defending the means something as well? No clue!
meh. shaun looked like he was fighting not to lose instead of fightingto win. no separation, could go either way.
I have it 3-2 chimaev Sean blew it, imo. Chimaev fought half the fight or more to Sean's strengths and he couldn't capitalize.
