Jared Cannonier vs. Sean Strickland UFC Vegas 66 official scorecard

Jared Cannonier vs. Sean Strickland produced one of the stranger scorecards of the year.

It was Cannonier who emerged victorious in Saturday’s UFC Vegas 66 main event, earning the nod on a pair of judges’ scorecards. What made the final tally strange is that Cannonier appeared to have won convincingly on two judges’ cards with 49-46 scores, while another judge saw it 49-46 in Strickland’s favor.

Strickland was given the dissensive score by Sal D’Amato. The result was even more bizarre because judge Derek Cleary and Judge Sal D’Amato had totally different scorecards. They disagreed on each round.

Regardless, Cannonier emerged with his hand raised to rebound with a win following a disappointing title fight loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 276 this past July. Three of his four previous fights he won.

After a knockout by UFC champion Alex Pereira, Strickland now has lost two consecutive fights. This is the first losing streak of Strickland’s 14-year career.
