Chael Sonnen makes case that Sean Strickland ‘lost every round’ to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297

Chael Sonnen argues that Dricus Du Plessis swept the scorecards at UFC 297.

Du Plessis (21-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) defeated Sean Strickland (28-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC) by split decision to claim the middleweight title in Saturday’s headliner at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

Strickland thought he was robbed, and the likes of UFC CEO Dana White and Joe Rogan also scored the fight in his favor. But as much as Sonnen was rooting for Strickland, he thinks it was a clear win for Du Plessis.
