    I agree. DDP won him fair and square. He took it like a true champ. He even showed his good character in the lobby and pre fight presser by shaking DDP's hand, burying the hatchet. I am now also a converted Sean fan. Great young man. Lekker Dricus. Trots op jou boeta. Ons champ.

    That clip of the South Africans, some white and some black in the bar losing it to the decision really hit me. You see people like Izzy acting like DDP can't call himself African and then you see clips like that. You tell me who the 'real' African is. It doesn't matter what colour he is, he represents South Africa and you can see that in those people's reactions. They don't give a shit that he's white, they care that he represents their homeland. Clear as day. Black and white unified by the love of the sport.

    @lydondejagwr5931 According to the stats, Sean landed considerably more strikes than Driscus, so I'm not sure how much more he could have done other than avoiding takedowns, which is likely the main factor in why Drisus was given the victory. It's debatable how much of a factor takedowns and control time should really be, especially when not very much is done with them. I had Sean winning, but it was a great and close fight regardless. Happy for Driscus.

    Two outstanding champions, both in terms of ability and humility. Yes, of course, the expressions and gamesmanship are sometimes not that humble, but one understands that. It's the respect and honesty after the fight from both men that put them right up there as credits not only to their sport, but to sport in general. As a South African I am naturally immensely proud of, and happy for Dricus, but I will always hold Sean also in the highest regard. I hope Dricus invites him over to South Africa for a real South African experience ... as friends.

So few can say that . And I feel like it could have gone either way due to the fact no damage on the takedowns and how quickly Sean got up. Takedowns none the less were the deciding factors and honestly nice to see they actually counted as they should regardless of what happened after. A takedown IS a takedown.

    0:50 massive respect to DDP, he chose kissing his team before receiving the belt.

    Better if he kissed them with the belt pressing against each other in my opinion
