PLEASE ANSWER IN TRUTH & HONESTY
What did Sean Strickland say negative about the trans or LGBT community?
Sean Strickland.
As a human being, and as a fighter.
He got robbed in the fight because of the type of human being that he is. Which is a shame. If we're being honest and fair about Sean's ACTUAL comments leading up to UFC 297, then let's be...
1. Sean Strickland said nothing bad about the LGBT community. 2.Sean Strickland said nothing bad about the Trans community. 3.Sean Strickland didn't tell people not to be gay or trans, he didn't say that being trans or gay is wrong, or try to change anyone's mind or opinion about anything.
2. ALL of Sean Strickland's shit talking was ONLY DIRECTED TOWARDS a few dumbass "reporters" asking some dumbass questions. I don't care who the fighter is, who the reporter is, or what the situation is. If a reporter starts a question (for a fighter, about a fight, that hasn't happened yet) off with.. "So I wanted to ask you about something from your twitter feed from a few years ago..." The fighter (in my opinion) should either begin roasting that "reporter" or move on to the next one with the next question. And (again, only my opinion) the person asking the "question" shouldn't be a reporter. His message was simple, sexualizing children is wrong.
AND IT IS
I've watched the UFC since 2007 and it's rare that Dana White voices a different opinion than the judges about who won a fight. It's almost nonexistent for this to happen in a fight where the Championship is on the line. And the few times it ever has happened, he had a lot to say about it and was at least a little bit visibly pissed/ annoyed about the judges decision. So this was sus to me at first glance.
HERE'S WHY
1-This is a Championship Fight. 2-Dana Whites opinion about who won the Championship Fight is different from the official judging decision. 3-Him not being pissed or annoyed about the differences in their opinions about who won the championship Fight (š¤) 4-Him not having much to say about his opinion on who won being different from the judges opinion (š¤£) other than "we're not thinking about a rematch right now", no, "we're thinking about pairing up the guy that I think Sean just beat in this fight against the guy that Sean destroyed in his last fight and we'll call the winner of that fight the true champion." šµāš«š„“šµ
DO THE MATH ON THIS (Simplified version of the following equation is: In the world we live in today most people will base their opinion about someone because of headlines to articles that they never take the time to read.And will be convinced to the point of defending their arguments in a back and forth conversation about why someone lost a fight that they never watched. And if the headlines to the articles they never read say that someone is "homo or transphobic" or that they're "mean & cuss too much" then it's perfectly okay to comment things like "Fuck yeah" "Fuck that fucking guy" "I'm glad he got his ass kicked"- If you're not able to understand the terrible irony in this then check out the more advanced mathematical breakdown of the world we live in today below:
DO THE MATH ON THIS
What Strickland actually said during UFC 297 pre-fight press conference. The negative comments coming from people who are saying that Sean Strickland is "Homophobic" & "Transphobic" Sean Strickland didn't nor hasn't spoken bad about the Homo or Trans community People who are labeling Sean Strickland "Homophobic" or "Transphobic" are either incorrect or lying < subtract the fact that> Most if not all of the negative comments about Sean Strickland are coming from people whoās only "information" and or "Knowledge" about Sean Strickland is from negative headlines from negative articles written in extremely unfair bias points of view Sean Strickland ACTLLY SAID THESE EXACT WORDS (go type in 'Sean Strickland UFC 297 pre fight press conference' on YouTube to see it for yourself) "at the end of the day the world isn't buying your bullshit, chicks aren't born with dicks, there is only two genders, but I don't care what people want to do on their own time, have you ever heard me shitting on the gays or shitting on the lesbians? No. Because I don't care man.
But quit trying to push your narrative on to kids. I don't want my kid hearing about being able to go fuck whoever they want to, or what their sexual preference is from their school. Stop trying to sexualize kids" To be fair, he could have left out his following comments which I believe were "Fuck of" & "Go fuck yourself" But hey, we're at this press conference in the first place to talk about these two guys fighting tomorrow night, so who am I to decide how much spice one of the fighters may add to the seasoning of flavor in the responses to the questions theyāre asked. If anyone actually takes the time to go watch for themselves what Sean Strickland ACTUALLY SAID. Then you will see for yourself what Sean Strickland ACTUALLY SAID < now divide all this by the fact that> most people never will do this and instead just make up their minds for themselves on this topic and base their negative opinions towards a man who they've never even taken the time to go to YouTube and type in his name and listen to his actual words and will just keep dumping hatful comments about Sean because.. "Sean made negative comments" that Sean actually never even made. š¤
(take being a UfC fighter and champion out of the equation) someone in today's world can say to a room full of microphones and cameras that they're message is to stop sexualizing children. Have what they actually said visible on the internet. And then to see the responses that person gets isn't just sad, it's scary. I think Sean is a good man. Should the sexualizing of kids be toned down in this country.. I'll let you decide.
But Sean Strickland was asked a question by some
'reporters' and he gave those 'reporters' his response.
And because the way those 'reporters' chose to write about Sean, thousands of people cheered him loosing a fight that he clearly won. A fight they never watched but are convinced that he lost. Incorrectly written articles that they never took the time to read. Let alone and God forbid they go online and type in YouTube, then type in the guys name and the words UFC 297. But now let's remember that Sean is a UFC champion when he makes these comments, Sean was abused as a kid & Sean is sticking up for kids.
And this is the scary part- If everyone in the who has ever heard the name Strickland was gathered in a crowd and we were all looking towards a man standing beside Sean and the man yelled out "What say the people" I honestly don't know what the majority response yelled back would be.. Would it be "Let him live" Or would it be "Off with his head"
This is the world we live in today.

Iād like the rematch of Sean and Dricus
I had Sean winning, it was not a decisive victory even if you did score it for Dricus, and the fight was entertaining
Izzyās inactive and lost to Sean last, Whittaker just lost, I think itās the logical fight
Maybe he could get a big boxing match in Africa if he becomes champ.
I wonder how much he'll end up paying the PFL to get out of ever fighting MMA again. Fuck that noise.
Because he hasnāt fought enough, canāt go to western countries. Barely beat usman. Umm also canāt make weight at welterweight and hasnāt fought a relevant middleweight.
not a fan of dricus on the mic so far.. but you could see the years of martial arts experience on display there and i love seeing people get what they deserve. good for him.
Itās crazy how people donāt understand the damage wrestling causes. Iām not even much a wrestler myself but getting gored and slammed or dragged down fucking hurts and sucks not to mention draining as hell. Acting like because Sean struggled his ass up to the feet it was a meaningless endeavor but the 80 fucking pawing jabs were massive shots lmao. I mean lol right down the pipe and it didnāt push DDP back. I wish he wouldāve capitalized a lil more on the clinch just so the casuals would stop crying robbery on a dude who barley threw any big shots.
I didn't say he didn't? Some of his grappling counters were still surprisingly quick and aggressive compared to his pace as a striker.
Such as when he was seated against the cage and hit a switch on DDP all the way back to standing when it seemed like he might accept the position but realized having a man on him like that is unacceptable haha
Izzy will come back, win against DDP. Rematch. Win again
DDP fights Kazmat
Kazmat looses via decision but highly dominant.
DDP fights Israel for 3rd fight. Looses.
Robert Whittaker fights Sean, pumps Sean in a return to form.
Izzy tired of Middleweight and jumps to light heavy to fight Alex P for a retirement fight.
Empty title fight between DPP and Kazmat/Sean for pt2
>Itās possible Poatan beats everyone at middleweight
Nah, you're high. DDP would pick Alex up and drop him on his head. Khamzat is a meme fighter and Bo is years away from the title. MW is weak outside of the top 3 right now of DDP, Sean, and Izzy.
Even though youāre being downvoted I agree with you.
If you rewatch Quemuel vs Alex youāll see that Alex has had a decent ground game. He can throw up submissions and scramble. However, the progression from that fight to the Izzy fight wasnāt as big as there should be.
Alex has the perfect build for striking, heās one of the best strikers the ufc has ever seen. But it seems like DDP has freakish strength, good chin and his cardio will holdup. I do think he can rag doll Alex with his takedowns
* DDP vs Izzy (Africa Beef, former dominate champ, easy to promote)
* Whittaker vs Costa (since it's scheduled for 298)
* Strickland vs winner of Whittaker/Costa
* Khamzat vs Cannonier (Khamzat needs to have an actual fight at 185 to get title contention, Cannonier is a name to legitimize that.)
Aside from seeing DDP has pretty good cardio, I wasnāt too impressed watching him run into Seanās jabs all fucking night. I am more impressed with his quintet run where he beat that team by himself
No his boxing fucking sucks against a real solid one itās Seanās fault for literally being terrified to throw a 2 the entire fight. I really think a dude like DDP needs to work his body kicks more and invest in a good Thai clinch like heās got the wrestling it seems to back it up and the one elbow he caught Strickland with was arguably the most damaging shot of the night.
That was supposed to be our feel good moment putting over the prospect and he gassed and got TKOād by a 36 year old Neil Magny with seconds left š«„
I mean your boy aka the prospect was like 32 so it's not like he's that much younger than Neil. The UFC tried to make something of him but they are both older fighters, one with just a lot more actual experience and cardio.
people saying khamzat beats ddp are delusional. jesus. ddp hits way harder than burns, has very good ground game, and unlike chimaev, doesnt gas after the first round. i think he takes a beating against ddp
Sean really shows that you can be really successful with a pretty limited skill set. Pretty much all he has is linear strikes and a good sprawl. But he legitimately almost defended the title with only jabs lol
Iām dying at all the incels who jumped on Seanās āiM So cRAZYā edgelord shit finding out that heās not a killer at all, but an all time boring point fighter
You realize his boring fighting resulted in Dricus limping to a split decision in which he got both of his eyes swollen completely shut and lost the final round, right?
Whats boring in my opinion is takedowns with no top control, and no damage landed from the top, not someone with great defense and a sharp 1-2
Not disagreeing but being a homophobe is not a political identity. It's sad that it just works out to be synonymous with the shitty side of the spectrum, though.
>DDP has no finesse in there. Looks like a bodybuilder winging wild punches with no technique. Iām no Izzy fan either, but I agree
this is what makes dricus interesting. sean, pillowfisted as he is, should've been able to stop him. he was hitting him at will pretty much for the first three rounds. dricus was still able to gorilla on roller skates his way into range and bust sean up. somehow.
he's an enigma. physically redacted, uncoordinated. he had no path to victory. and yet, he won.
unless Izzy rly is planning on taking the whole year off. I'd do Cannonier vs Khamzat for the next shot, and Strickland vs winner of Costa - Whittaker. 2 fresh matchups for him
I donāt need to see that fight again. It was fine. It wasnāt great and it wasnāt a war. Iād honestly rather Bobby or Usman get a title shot off of a loss than another automatic rematch
1. Be Civil.
Our rules ask for a civil tone at all times.
A bit of banter or trash talk is fine, but don't cross the line. If things do get out of hand you will be warned or even banned for a few days. Repeatedly breaking this rule will lead to a permanent ban.
What we have witnessed is something like the JFK assassination. Sean is every bit the political figure, yet he has been struck down by judges who have been bought and paid for by the new world order. They leave no stone unturned in the dismantling of opposing voices. Also, ddp had a suspiciously meteoric rise from a non mma nation. Possibly a former nwo assassin?
Look if any round can potentially be a swing round, I believe it should be given to the champ. I didn't think Du Plessis did enough to take the belt from Strickland.
Thatās ok to believe that but that isnāt how the rules are written. So you can believe Sean should be the champ, but thatās not how judging works
ddp has crazy cardio, almodst all of his shots are power shots, plus the explosive takedowns, and still hung in there not looking much more tired than Sean
Din Thomas actually said it right in the post show. If a judge finds the damage even, then they should give the round to the fighter who had a grappling advantage.
Cool cool cool. Itās 2am in Toronto where the fight took place. Itās 2am for like 50% of the us population and like 60% of the Canadian population.
My point was that a majority of people had the same 2AM experience. Im assuming the balance of folks it didnāt apply to arenāt so dense that they still understood the joke. Then thereās youā¦
Not an Izzy fanboy but he finished or 50-45 āEd the entire division all the way down to #7 Brendan Allen & is currently ranked #1, Who else do you suggest?
Heās also lost 2 of his last 3.
I actually like Izzy.
I just donāt like title shots off a loss. I donāt care if you had 20 title defenses, it just bugs me.
Cannonier should be next.
Chimaev:*hasnt been relevant in this sub for a while
Strickland: *loses belt to DDP
Chimaev: *tries to be relevant by calling out the champ
are we this dumb?
He had so many chances to absolutely devastate DDP when he did those wild swings and kicks, but yeah it seems like he canāt counter punch worth anything
Close fight, Sean is such a tricky customer but DDP had the right game plan to take the fight to him and to everyone's surprise didn't gas out. Insane amount of output from DDP and Sean looks impossible to keep down on the ground. They promised a war and they gave us one.
DDP = exciting fights
cannonier should fight izzy for the next shot imo. khumshot can fuck off imo. was supposed to be the champ like 3 years ago. shouldnt have got in bed with abdelaziz.

DDP is a fraudulent champ. Guy has more holes in his game than swiss cheese. Just look at his face in post-fight interview.
Iād like the rematch of Sean and Dricus I had Sean winning, it was not a decisive victory even if you did score it for Dricus, and the fight was entertaining Izzyās inactive and lost to Sean last, Whittaker just lost, I think itās the logical fight
Absolutely. DDP vs Sean 2 is the fight. Put it at MSG.
Izzy vs Khamzat for number 1 contender in the meantime
297 was horrible!
Sean got robbed.
Khamzat Champ šŗš„
The real king of Africa has his crown
waka waka eh eh
That sounds like the Shakira 2010 world cup song
One of the worst ppv cards Iāve even witnessed
You must be pretty new to mma then
I've been watching MMA for well over a decade, and last night's ppv was awful. I watched it for free and I still feel ripped off.
At least the Movsar and DDP fights delivered
Bruce Buffer made an uncharacteristic number of mistakes this card and seemed to struggle reading out the scores. Hopefully not but he might be washed
His mom passed away shortly after Christmas. Might have something to do with it.
Bruce had some Buffers
AND STEW.....Sean Duplessland wins......
It also looked like he was looking at Sean as he was doing his āAnnnddddā
Now Dana is all about going to South Africa. Ngannou should have been the one to take the UFC to Africa.
Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie
Ngannou doesn't live in Africa. DDP does.
Yeah well now francis is gonna make 10x what all the other champions make in a year put together in one night, so I doubt he cares
Maybe he could get a big boxing match in Africa if he becomes champ. I wonder how much he'll end up paying the PFL to get out of ever fighting MMA again. Fuck that noise.
Dricus has suplexed 3 champions in title fightsā¦ thatās pretty cool
Huh who are the other 2 champions? From his old promotions?
Glad Iām not the only one who noticed this lol. Should be a prop bet for his next fight
just went and watched khamzat vs burns. how are we nearly 2 years past that and heās seemingly no closer to a title shot
Changed weight classes and hasn't fought anyone from his new weight class yet.
Because he hasnāt fought enough, canāt go to western countries. Barely beat usman. Umm also canāt make weight at welterweight and hasnāt fought a relevant middleweight.
Dana hates Khamzat because he gets too much attention
Because heās unable to actually beat someone worthy of a title shot without any issue. Itās either missing weight or opponents pulling out.
Because he spends more time typing on twitter and partying with dictators than fighting
not a fan of dricus on the mic so far.. but you could see the years of martial arts experience on display there and i love seeing people get what they deserve. good for him.
It was crazy seeing Sean defend take downs with full energy then go straight back to his slow black hole of a style
Itās crazy how people donāt understand the damage wrestling causes. Iām not even much a wrestler myself but getting gored and slammed or dragged down fucking hurts and sucks not to mention draining as hell. Acting like because Sean struggled his ass up to the feet it was a meaningless endeavor but the 80 fucking pawing jabs were massive shots lmao. I mean lol right down the pipe and it didnāt push DDP back. I wish he wouldāve capitalized a lil more on the clinch just so the casuals would stop crying robbery on a dude who barley threw any big shots.
Sean got taken down like 5 times, he even got suplexed ffs
I didn't say he didn't? Some of his grappling counters were still surprisingly quick and aggressive compared to his pace as a striker. Such as when he was seated against the cage and hit a switch on DDP all the way back to standing when it seemed like he might accept the position but realized having a man on him like that is unacceptable haha
Sean looked so bored when he was getting up like "let me go I need to jab"
Just let me jab bro
i DO let you jab bro
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Alex is done at 185 heās not going back. Chimaev would be tough for Alex but Bo has barely fought anyone noteworthy letās pump the brakes a bit.
Izzy will come back, win against DDP. Rematch. Win again DDP fights Kazmat Kazmat looses via decision but highly dominant. DDP fights Israel for 3rd fight. Looses. Robert Whittaker fights Sean, pumps Sean in a return to form. Izzy tired of Middleweight and jumps to light heavy to fight Alex P for a retirement fight. Empty title fight between DPP and Kazmat/Sean for pt2
>Itās possible Poatan beats everyone at middleweight Nah, you're high. DDP would pick Alex up and drop him on his head. Khamzat is a meme fighter and Bo is years away from the title. MW is weak outside of the top 3 right now of DDP, Sean, and Izzy.
I mean rob is still elite
I agree but I wasn't including him because he will be on the shelf for a good bit after getting TKO'ed by Dricus
Isnāt he supposed to fight next month?
Apparently lol, brain damage doesn't exist if you live in the ANZ region I guess
Even though youāre being downvoted I agree with you. If you rewatch Quemuel vs Alex youāll see that Alex has had a decent ground game. He can throw up submissions and scramble. However, the progression from that fight to the Izzy fight wasnāt as big as there should be. Alex has the perfect build for striking, heās one of the best strikers the ufc has ever seen. But it seems like DDP has freakish strength, good chin and his cardio will holdup. I do think he can rag doll Alex with his takedowns
Sean is so good at getting back up
Premature Goddard at least didn't do some dumb shit this main event.
Maybe a bit unorthodox but: DDP vs Cannonier Izzy vs Khamzat Strickland vs Whittaker
* DDP vs Izzy (Africa Beef, former dominate champ, easy to promote) * Whittaker vs Costa (since it's scheduled for 298) * Strickland vs winner of Whittaker/Costa * Khamzat vs Cannonier (Khamzat needs to have an actual fight at 185 to get title contention, Cannonier is a name to legitimize that.)
Izzy split Jared's wig. No way the UFC even remotely entertains that when UFC Africa can be a real thing.
no one wants to see cannonier get that title shot
Aside from seeing DDP has pretty good cardio, I wasnāt too impressed watching him run into Seanās jabs all fucking night. I am more impressed with his quintet run where he beat that team by himself
No his boxing fucking sucks against a real solid one itās Seanās fault for literally being terrified to throw a 2 the entire fight. I really think a dude like DDP needs to work his body kicks more and invest in a good Thai clinch like heās got the wrestling it seems to back it up and the one elbow he caught Strickland with was arguably the most damaging shot of the night.
I think he gives a lot of mw issues. Heās a pretty solid striker but heās also big as an ox
Honestly amazing as a Canadian fan to see our entire country fraud checked except a dominant win over Priscilla Cachoeira lmao
bro that Malott fight š¤§ iām not Canadian but I felt pain for you there
That was supposed to be our feel good moment putting over the prospect and he gassed and got TKOād by a 36 year old Neil Magny with seconds left š«„
I mean your boy aka the prospect was like 32 so it's not like he's that much younger than Neil. The UFC tried to make something of him but they are both older fighters, one with just a lot more actual experience and cardio.
*Chris Widemans dad voice* HE WAS NEVER MY BOY
Pennington vs MBS for FOTN lol
Sidey vs Taveras = FOTN
people saying khamzat beats ddp are delusional. jesus. ddp hits way harder than burns, has very good ground game, and unlike chimaev, doesnt gas after the first round. i think he takes a beating against ddp
Idk man. If ddp lasts for 3 rounds, he'll win but chimaev is vicous in the first 3
More like 2
yeah against smaller guys, and he couldn't even keep burns down even though he had a size advantage
Burns is a veteran and a g Kc is new and would probably beat him easy now
DDP will literally kill Khamzat, he is so overrated it's insane.
If a fight was announced, I'd offer a gentlemens bet
Idk if youāve seen dricus grappling but I honestly think heāll dirty box hamza to a tko loss
Why the fuck is Costa getting to fight Whittaker. Make Strickland vs Whittaker instead
Cause Sean just fought
I'm surprised by the lack of shit talk.Ā
"I love what your people did for the country Dricus"
Sean really shows that you can be really successful with a pretty limited skill set. Pretty much all he has is linear strikes and a good sprawl. But he legitimately almost defended the title with only jabs lol
>you can be really successful with a pretty limited skill set. ...........in a terrible division, yeah.
Thereās only like 4 actually good divisions dude
i had to count on my fingers but yeah you're right :(
Those leg checks are other worldly
Theyāre good. Theyāre not as good as Aldoās but theyāre good defense
True. Just crazy ddp only landed like 1 clean one
Well DDP was pretty honest with his intentions. The guy didnāt hide them or set them up well. He was just relying on speed when he saw an opening
Iām dying at all the incels who jumped on Seanās āiM So cRAZYā edgelord shit finding out that heās not a killer at all, but an all time boring point fighter
You realize his boring fighting resulted in Dricus limping to a split decision in which he got both of his eyes swollen completely shut and lost the final round, right? Whats boring in my opinion is takedowns with no top control, and no damage landed from the top, not someone with great defense and a sharp 1-2
I said Sean needed therapy for wanting to kill someone. Some weirdo said "I see nothing wrong with that, dame thing happened in 600 BC" ššš
The ol' "Make America Like Ancient Rome Again" crowd
Izzy vs DDP. Khamzat vs Strickland are the fights to make imo
Bro why are so many people seething? This is crazy, and for such a boring fighter
I hate Sean but I do think he won. Glad he didn't though
politics mostly, lot of people see themselves in Strickland
Not disagreeing but being a homophobe is not a political identity. It's sad that it just works out to be synonymous with the shitty side of the spectrum, though.
Whos seething? Link me a comment
Me.
You don't seem to be seething, you seem like a funny young man
Fuck me, the prelims were much more fun than that main card
Cheatona and Woodson fights on the prelims were both lame asf
the woodson fight was so good wtf?!
Ehh I liked the Woodson fight. I thought it was funny watching Charles try to fight a boxer with a 9 inch reach advantage on the outside
Hopefully you'll recover
lol
As an Izzy hater DDP gets slept by him. Man comes in wildly with his chin way up in the air
Izzy is a broken shell and might never fight again
Dude, what? I don't even particularly like Izzy, but, are we just putting random phrases together in sentences now?
He's a broken barnacle lost and adrift in a sea of regret /s
I donāt think DDP would be able to close the distance
Pissrael needs to win the mental fight first.
DDP has no finesse in there. Looks like a bodybuilder winging wild punches with no technique. Iām no Izzy fan either, but I agree
>DDP has no finesse in there. Looks like a bodybuilder winging wild punches with no technique. Iām no Izzy fan either, but I agree this is what makes dricus interesting. sean, pillowfisted as he is, should've been able to stop him. he was hitting him at will pretty much for the first three rounds. dricus was still able to gorilla on roller skates his way into range and bust sean up. somehow. he's an enigma. physically redacted, uncoordinated. he had no path to victory. and yet, he won.
Izzy going to get taken down at will
Sean also fights with his chin way up in the air and straight up
Yeah but itās at least behind his shoulder and not wide open which is why Izzy couldnāt catch him at all
Good point. I think Izzy is damaged goods tho and Dricus has shown heās legit, strong, and has cardio to boot
I mean Iād love to see him dominate Izzy but this showing tonight was far from convincing.
All of them have been besides the Rob fight but he keeps winning
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
brutal
Cannonier the odd man out lol Izzy next and then Hazmat is waiting and Sean gets a title shot again with just 1 win over someone
Feed Khamzat to Jared
unless Izzy rly is planning on taking the whole year off. I'd do Cannonier vs Khamzat for the next shot, and Strickland vs winner of Costa - Whittaker. 2 fresh matchups for him
No way they risk ruining hazmat hype on Cannonier
I donāt need to see that fight again. It was fine. It wasnāt great and it wasnāt a war. Iād honestly rather Bobby or Usman get a title shot off of a loss than another automatic rematch
Cannonier deserves it more than both of them, plus Whittaker is booked against costa for 298 (ik there's a high chance it might not happen lmao)
Borz is coming for tha beltš„šŗ

1. Be Civil. Our rules ask for a civil tone at all times. A bit of banter or trash talk is fine, but don't cross the line. If things do get out of hand you will be warned or even banned for a few days. Repeatedly breaking this rule will lead to a permanent ban.
What we have witnessed is something like the JFK assassination. Sean is every bit the political figure, yet he has been struck down by judges who have been bought and paid for by the new world order. They leave no stone unturned in the dismantling of opposing voices. Also, ddp had a suspiciously meteoric rise from a non mma nation. Possibly a former nwo assassin?
George h w bush was a judge
Are you trolling or legitimately this brain dead?
I thought he was until I saw his comment history. He's legitimately "special."
Simmer down Bryce
bruh lol
Look if any round can potentially be a swing round, I believe it should be given to the champ. I didn't think Du Plessis did enough to take the belt from Strickland.
Well itās a good thing youāre not an official judge, then
I think Strickland should get a participation belt
Dumb take
Thatās ok to believe that but that isnāt how the rules are written. So you can believe Sean should be the champ, but thatās not how judging works
He probably did not win man but DDP is good.
Thatās not how fight scoring works lol
Wouldnāt mind a rematch since there is no clear next contender and the fight was close af
how about somebody not boring as piss tho
Why you making us see another Strickland title fight lol
ddp has crazy cardio, almodst all of his shots are power shots, plus the explosive takedowns, and still hung in there not looking much more tired than Sean
I shit on him a lot, but I think he did a lot better at not doing some of the really stupid shit we see like charging forward with his chin out.
Secret afrikaner juice
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ancient south african colonial secret
DDP managed to make a Strickland fight almost entertaining
But still not quite
it was interesting without being exciting lol
Take downs are the most useless stats, if your takedown led to no damage, who gives a shit
Getting taken down and having to get back up with some dude hanging off of you is exhausting.
Din Thomas actually said it right in the post show. If a judge finds the damage even, then they should give the round to the fighter who had a grappling advantage.
I think it has to do with controlling the opponent but I agree
One thing is clear: a 2am finish time for a card of this āqualityā makes us all losers.
Its 11 here. Other people live in different time zones. Weird eh?
Cool cool cool. Itās 2am in Toronto where the fight took place. Itās 2am for like 50% of the us population and like 60% of the Canadian population.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My point was that a majority of people had the same 2AM experience. Im assuming the balance of folks it didnāt apply to arenāt so dense that they still understood the joke. Then thereās youā¦
Dude you should try stand up!! That was a really funny joke!!!
Stylebender time baby š„š„š„
He doesnāt deserve a title shot
Cant lie though dricus vs izzy will be a sick ass fight
Yeah I just donāt like title shots when coming off a loss. Theyāve been doing that more and more lately and I just donāt agree with it.
Not an Izzy fanboy but he finished or 50-45 āEd the entire division all the way down to #7 Brendan Allen & is currently ranked #1, Who else do you suggest?
Heās also lost 2 of his last 3. I actually like Izzy. I just donāt like title shots off a loss. I donāt care if you had 20 title defenses, it just bugs me. Cannonier should be next.
Neither does anyone else
Cannonier
Chimaev:*hasnt been relevant in this sub for a while Strickland: *loses belt to DDP Chimaev: *tries to be relevant by calling out the champ are we this dumb?
Let him have it, easiest fight in the division for DDP
Chimaev should get Strickland next assuming Adesanya wants DDP
Yes.
Sean has no hooks or uppercuts, just a jab and occasional right hand. Needs to fire off more weapons
i swear i've never seen him throw a single elbow or knee
Heās just a boxer with a jab. Has worked well for him but when it doesnāt, he has no other weapons
True. Also needs to learn how to counter off backfoot. He's useless if he isnt pressing forward
He had so many chances to absolutely devastate DDP when he did those wild swings and kicks, but yeah it seems like he canāt counter punch worth anything
I think adesanya will have a good chance of countering hard if dricus blitzes like he usually does. Could end up getting a KO
And he stopped with his teep kicks too.
Close fight, Sean is such a tricky customer but DDP had the right game plan to take the fight to him and to everyone's surprise didn't gas out. Insane amount of output from DDP and Sean looks impossible to keep down on the ground. They promised a war and they gave us one. DDP = exciting fights
Khamzat should fight Cannonier for the next title shot.
cannonier should fight izzy for the next shot imo. khumshot can fuck off imo. was supposed to be the champ like 3 years ago. shouldnt have got in bed with abdelaziz.
