The focal point of UFC 297 event ended with the victory of Dricus Du Plessis against Sean Strickland. At the end of 5 rounds, two-thirds of Du PLessis trials won with a score of 48-47. Only one person marked 48-47, showed that this was a balanced match.
Speaking about the results of the championship battle between Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis, Mr. Dana White said: “From the perspective of the match, I saw Strickland and Du Plessis, each winning 2 in the first 4 rounds. In the last half of Strickland won, he was the winner.”
Statistics in the match between Sean Strickland and Du Plessis also somewhat supported Dana White's judgment. In the third half, Strickland has a number of striking attacks slightly better than Du Plessis (31 compared to 29). The two boxers also have no Takedown situation, as well as control the position.
But unlike the recorded parameters, two -thirds of the Du Plessis trial won the third half, not Strickland. Only one assessment among them scored correctly with accurate parameters. This is the decisive match that made Strickland lose the championship.
However, UFC's evaluation could not reverse this match. Du Plessis is still recognized as the winner against Sean Strickland. For that reason, two fighters can be remained in the near future, at an event that has not been set by the Organizing Committee in advance.
