Dana White scores fight 48-47 for Strickland, not surprised by standup battle

Dana White revealed his scorecard for the UFC 328 main event, scoring it 2-2 after four rounds with Strickland winning the fifth round for a 48-47 total. White was not surprised that Chimaev chose to strike rather than wrestle, recalling Chimaev's comments about his striking during Fight Island. White noted that Chimaev hadn't fought much in the standup recently and had a tough weight cut. Despite the difficult second round, White said he expected Chimaev to persevere, calling him a tough fighter and describing him in strong terms. The UFC president's assessment suggests the fight was competitive throughout.
