Las Vegas – Jared Cannonier does not understand criticism of the main UFC 312 event.
The average weight champion Dricus du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) retained his average weight title by beating Sean Strickland (29-7 MMA, 16-7 UFC) a second time last Saturday at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
Strickland has received many criticisms for not having provided his pre-combat prediction of the “death” competition. Cannonier, who has a close decision on Strickland in December 2022, thinks that criticism is unjustified.
“Congratulations to the two competitors for having been the subject of a cerebral non-commotion that everyone hoped for it,” said Cannonier to journalists on Wednesday media day. “” To death “. Everyone continues to repeat it and throw it on Sean’s face. It was a song as planned. The DDP fought as planned, Sean Strickland fought as planned, and we have another championship fight in the books. »»
Strickland lost a dominant unanimous decision against Plessis and had to fight through a nose broken 4.
“I thought he went there and competed for five laps in a world title match, and came to the end of the stick with a broken nose,” said Cannonier about Strickland. “People wanted him to undergo more damage than that. We live in a sadistic world where people want to see other people go through a kind of pain and enjoy it. »»
