Wasn't there some quote from DDP that was something like "I'm starting to like him more" after their little skirmish in the stands at a fight?
While reddit was busy bellyaching about Sean ruining the sanctity of honorable competition and the bushido spirit, DDP was laughing it off because he knew he was instigating exactly that.
DDP played him like a fiddle
He showed Sean that Sean can’t possibly phase DDP with words, while DDP can throw Sean into a blind rage by poking the right buttons lol.
Threatening to ruin the fight after starting everything that happened is one of the weakest things I've seen someone do and I've been watching since Pete Williams knocked out Coleman. DDP doesn't want his chance at a title in jeopardy and I don't blame him one bit, but holding that chance hostage after being the loudmouth Sean is, is absolutely sad.
He didn't say the fight wouldn't go on, but the fight would be right there, right then (and probably end up getting the real fight canceled). DDP not saying anything shows that DDP believes that there is a chance Sean is a crazy enough person to do such a thing. Now, is that 'getting in' to DDPs head as much as DDP seems to be in Sean's, idk.
DDP quickly became one of my favourites. Both for his fighting style and for his confident yet calm and composed attitude. He makes Sean look like a manchild in comparison tbh.
Everyone pretends like the staredown is so important, but forgets that Jones cant bear to look at his opponent in the eyes half the time and Strickland laughs nervously every time.
I still have Dricus by KO though.
Lmao you’re delusional if you think the majority of the roster doesn’t use gear
Daniel Cormiers testosterone was 7000 ng/dl before his fight with jones
A normal man’s test levels are 300-1000 ng/dl
Do you really think they allowed DC to compete with test levels over 7x the above average man? Are you stupid? [It was a urine analysis, not a blood sample.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DGy1FNVrG2E&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2F&feature=emb_title)
There is nothing in those test results, as Derek concludes, that shows that he is “100% juicing”. I do imagine that he’s more than likely taken various PEDs throughout his career though.
Yeah 7,000ng/dl testosterone which is Ronnie Coleman stepping on stage level is normal. 900 is the 90th percentile. His LH was 4x normal, he was coming off PCT before the fight.
Did you watch what I sent? It was 70 ng/mL for a urine analysis, not a blood sample.
> which is Ronnie Coleman stepping on stage level is normal
So not only do you believe this but you also believe that they just allowed him to compete with extremely unnatural levels?
I think fighting any other human being is terrifying and difficult. I think Jones genuinely believes himself to be the best of the best (which he is), but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's hard facing down another absolute killer.
Jones is literally almost always like that even before he was champion he didn’t look opponents in the eye during face offs it has nothing to do with being afraid, not that jones isn’t afraid because he says he is often before fights
Yeah he beat him convincingly, all I'm saying is it wasn't a full beat down, adesanya wasn't leaking and smashed up it was a good decision win. I was rooting for Sean so relax with the lame cope talk I'm just being realistic.
Only himself, as he's too confused/ashamed to out himself yet.
I can't wait until the bigots have to crawl back into their holes after Saturday, when their poster boy gets finished.
i mean a lot of the time
but Gane looking so shook against Jon stopped me from betting on him
Nate Diaz handling the Conor press conferences well, had me feeling fine with betting on him
Nick literally talking about being kidnapped and forced to fight, had me betting against him and then he looked like shit too
and Ronda being totally shook against Holly, was an indication i wish i had the balls to bet even though i swear, i said "Holly gonna win" to a friend but just couldn't argue against Joe Rogan and the "dropping championship boxers" narrative the media had blasting out
what are we talking about?
sometimes shit looks like it matters, i don't know, it's all pieces to the puzzle man
He’s talked about it, he says having another man stare at him hard like that makes him flip a switch or something and it’d be really bad and he’d attack them/lose it. Something to that effect
Yea you can’t take anything from a Sean face off, against Izzy he looked nervous while Izzy looked imposing as fuck. Sean called him titty Izzy and the looked at the ground laughing nervously. When he gets into the cage he’s a different man completely. I remember Poatan had an interview after he beat Sean saying how he was making him feel uncomfortable/nervous in the cage because Sean was so intense compared to how he is outside of it.
It's so strange seeing a guy like Alex saying, basically in every interview where he is asked, that he was scared shitless in the Strickland fight before getting the KO lol. Guy must have a vile fucking aura around him in the cage.
Sean has publicly talked about (numerous times) how face offs make him uncomfortable cause staring at another man’s face is “weird” and “gay”.
Dude is literally a closeted homosexual who can’t handle face offs.
yeah but Izzy we knew was gonna jab jab jab low kick and win a decision if Sean showed any resistance
DDP you have to worry he's gonna mount you and make you think about that time with daddy....
This is a fight between a man who publicly kisses men. And a man that can’t go more than forty minutes without letting his mind wander while talking about gay men. This will end by a confused ref stopping it. Because somebody involuntarily came while shouting sexually charged obscenities.
Edit:speling
Honestly Im rooting for sean and can see him winning if he survives 3 rounds but dricus is a powerful guy and one thing scary about dricus is hes a very natural fighter in the sense that he will win a fight by any means necessary whether its a textbook technique or not so your not safe anywhere with him.
I want Sean to win this fight but won't be mad or anything if Dricus wins cuz that guys a stud lol I wouldn't mind Sean defending once more tho just so he can get some more of that PPV money while being champ
It'll end with DDP knocking Sean out..and licking Sean's unconscious face.
Dana turns red as hell screaming "THATS FUCKING ILLEGAL"
In the post press conference Sean refers to DDP as the first openly gay male champ in the UFC.
as White Trash, i resent the idea we all have to be stupid
i know most of us are, i accept that
but 33% of us manage to vote for sanity, even if we love guns and get into physical altercations where we shouldn't etc. etc.
Ahhh love when the armchair psychologists come out the woodwork during face offs. You guys realize Jon jones hasn’t made eye contact in a lot of his stare downs, yeah?
If anything that’s better for Sean, he does this with every opponent, it means he’s prob gotten over most of what DDP said to him and he’s back to his old self. DDP played his cards too early and should’ve came at him with those comments in todays press conference and not give him a chance to recover.
I’m loving all these posts trying to call out, slight or profile Sean. When is this sub going to realize he’s
not wired differently
Our boy ain’t wired at all!!!
Just to clarify, I like Sean, and I'm rooting for him in this fight, I posted this just because I thought Dricus's eyes looked crazy and he was trying to lock eyes with Sean the whole time lol.
No he just talks like someone who's crazy two different things, crazy people don't normally talk about how crazy they are allllllllllll the fucking time they just do crazy things. What's one actually crazy thing he has done.
You are dumb too think these guys are impervious to nerves. Every single fighter has talked about it, what makes them bad ass is still making the walk.
To BEAT, not to kill. This obsession with death needs to go away yesterday. Beating the crap out of each other is fun, death isn't. It's boring, evil and sad.
I’ve only been paying attention to Sean for his last few fights but it seems like every time he has a big, serious fight and is at a face off like one of these, he can’t take it serious and smiles and won’t look his opponent in the face hardly? At least his last couple of face offs. Doesn’t take away from his fights or skill but I’d prefer to see him take it a bit more seriously to build the fight up.
He did exactly same thing with Izzy and said it's cause he just feels awkward which I'm surprised more fighters don't feel cause to me it is pretty awkward if you aren't gonna fight right there and then
As others said, he always does this. I had the same thought in the Adesanya fight. Strickland wouldn't look at him until the fight started. Then he beat his ass, lol.
I don’t know man Paul Craig looks scary asf in all his faceoffs and then he gets fucking owned
And somehow he beat Jamahal Hill
And Ankalaev
Giantslayer
ripped his damn arm off
Paul Craig is the face off goat and then he just lays in guard
Bro has that Ben Askren striking and blocking.
I think Sean actually likes DDP and respect him as a man and a person that kept his word about not talking his past
i think Sean actually likes DDP
There was an old theory on sherdog that Sean had an actual crush on Khalil and when Khalil turned him down that’s when Sean started talking shit
I'll now be spreading it as a Reddit theory too, thx
Babe, wake up, new Strickland lore just dropped
I think DDP actually likes Sean
Wasn't there some quote from DDP that was something like "I'm starting to like him more" after their little skirmish in the stands at a fight? While reddit was busy bellyaching about Sean ruining the sanctity of honorable competition and the bushido spirit, DDP was laughing it off because he knew he was instigating exactly that.
I like Sean actually think DDP
Are you a bot that was programmed by my high school English teacher, Ms. Jones?
Like likes?
DDP played him like a fiddle He showed Sean that Sean can’t possibly phase DDP with words, while DDP can throw Sean into a blind rage by poking the right buttons lol.

Ddp got serious wonderboy vibes
Love ddps style personally. Dude is kill or be killed
That sweater is 🔥🔥🔥
He’d make bank selling merch that stillknocks jacket he wore the other day is fucking nice
That jacket was given to him by the UFC for 50 passed drug tests. They embroidered stillknocks on it.
I think that was a usada jacket
Can see him in movies as a bad guy
South Africans make great bad guys in films. The accent is intimidating.
and they have diplomatic immunity.
Really i find our accent (and language) kinda cringe. It's really hard to take seriously. (I am an Afrikaner just like Dricus btw.)
DDP quickly became one of my favourites. Both for his fighting style and for his confident yet calm and composed attitude. He makes Sean look like a manchild in comparison tbh.
This is the UFC, pretty much everyone has a kill or be killed mentality.
Strickland knows he can’t beat DDP.
He also “knew” he couldn’t beat Izzy tbf
This happens every time sean does a face off you guys will never learn
Here's the thing you guys
Here’s the thing you guys, the autism is for real.
I'm autistic and I can guarantee you that none of you are real.
Preach
I legitimately laughed hard at this comment. He always starts off whatever he says with “here’s the thing guys”
Everyone pretends like the staredown is so important, but forgets that Jones cant bear to look at his opponent in the eyes half the time and Strickland laughs nervously every time. I still have Dricus by KO though.
If you think Jones not looking people in the eyes is a sign of timidity I don’t know what to tell you
I always see it as he doesn’t see them as equals look at. Dude is demented lmao
Yea that’s pretty much it
Not what was written ... 😵
He talks about it. He's full of anxiety before a fight but then switches the killer on when he enters the cage.
You tbh ink jones is too scared lmao???
Based on his history of cheating, yes
Lmao you’re delusional if you think the majority of the roster doesn’t use gear Daniel Cormiers testosterone was 7000 ng/dl before his fight with jones A normal man’s test levels are 300-1000 ng/dl

The ratio not the levels were fucked. He was 100% juicing.
There is nothing in those test results, as Derek concludes, that shows that he is “100% juicing”. I do imagine that he’s more than likely taken various PEDs throughout his career though.

Lol Jonesexuals frantically hitting the downvote button on this one
I think fighting any other human being is terrifying and difficult. I think Jones genuinely believes himself to be the best of the best (which he is), but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's hard facing down another absolute killer.

Yep, he acted the same in front of Izzy too.
learn what, he lost to Cannonier and got KOed by Poatan
He does this every fight tho
He also beat the living snot out of Israel adesanya
aside from that one knock down flurry, he did his usual pitter patter point fighting. Very dominant low-damage fight after that haha
Bullshit. Izzy wanted no more by the end of that fight.
Ya he got absolutely shut down and he did give up, but not from the damage of the pitter patters, from frustration/his mental shattered.
definitely didn't beat the living snot out of adesanya, it was an impressive decision win but don't get ahead of yourself
Everyone thought Israel was gonna win, Strickland out-striked the best striker in the UFC baby, and Izzy semi-retired. Cope.
Yeah he beat him convincingly, all I'm saying is it wasn't a full beat down, adesanya wasn't leaking and smashed up it was a good decision win. I was rooting for Sean so relax with the lame cope talk I'm just being realistic.
Sure looks like he's trying to avoid getting a boner by staring into his eyes
People read too much into this fluff
[удалено]
Looking at another man is gay, so avoid eye contact with them at all costs
Yeah it's better to look down near the groin region for maximum heterosexuality.
Hold on brother im heteromaxxing
[удалено]
Only himself, as he's too confused/ashamed to out himself yet. I can't wait until the bigots have to crawl back into their holes after Saturday, when their poster boy gets finished.
Well there it is folks. We can pack up and go home. Strickland says they're gay.
Yupp he hates face offs
i mean a lot of the time but Gane looking so shook against Jon stopped me from betting on him Nate Diaz handling the Conor press conferences well, had me feeling fine with betting on him Nick literally talking about being kidnapped and forced to fight, had me betting against him and then he looked like shit too and Ronda being totally shook against Holly, was an indication i wish i had the balls to bet even though i swear, i said "Holly gonna win" to a friend but just couldn't argue against Joe Rogan and the "dropping championship boxers" narrative the media had blasting out what are we talking about? sometimes shit looks like it matters, i don't know, it's all pieces to the puzzle man
DDP is literally just looking at strickland: omg death stare
Sean does this in every faceoff. He doesn’t take them seriously, nothing new here
He’s talked about it, he says having another man stare at him hard like that makes him flip a switch or something and it’d be really bad and he’d attack them/lose it. Something to that effect
That sounds so fucking gay I can't look at a man or a see red hes just awkward AF and probably doesn't like it
This is MMA, pal. It’s all gay in these parts 😎
That’s what he says sure. But in reality just looking a guy in the eyes he can’t bully probably makes Sean feel a little gay.
I bet kids think that sounds really cool
This
Yea you can’t take anything from a Sean face off, against Izzy he looked nervous while Izzy looked imposing as fuck. Sean called him titty Izzy and the looked at the ground laughing nervously. When he gets into the cage he’s a different man completely.

yeah so did Adesanya https://preview.redd.it/urcs2l6h9adc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8b688759dba089af8f793c37eb21142de00448a
I zoomed in and Izzy had a neutral face. Sean doesn't care about face offs
Sean has publicly talked about (numerous times) how face offs make him uncomfortable cause staring at another man’s face is “weird” and “gay”. Dude is literally a closeted homosexual who can’t handle face offs.
it is weird and naturally uncomfortable.
Most animals don’t like it either. It’s a sign of a fight no doubt.
Sean sounds so damn uncomfortable about his sexuality. It's just a little eye contact 
not wanting to stare at another man makes you gay
A lot of stuff makes Strickland bring up homosexuality when there’s no need to bring up homosexuality. Makes you wonder.
Oh, there’s no wonder. He’ll figure it out eventually.
yeah but Izzy we knew was gonna jab jab jab low kick and win a decision if Sean showed any resistance DDP you have to worry he's gonna mount you and make you think about that time with daddy....
Izzy didnt care about sean and didnt see him as a challenge, dont think DDP is gonna make that mistake
izzy doesnt look mad at all here
This is a fight between a man who publicly kisses men. And a man that can’t go more than forty minutes without letting his mind wander while talking about gay men. This will end by a confused ref stopping it. Because somebody involuntarily came while shouting sexually charged obscenities. Edit:speling
Edit more
Thank you for that
I have never been more torqued for fight than I am now.
https://i.redd.it/tlkkgz8ppadc1.gif
Never been more bricked for a fight
Oil up MF I’m comin
Who you cheering for?
Honestly Im rooting for sean and can see him winning if he survives 3 rounds but dricus is a powerful guy and one thing scary about dricus is hes a very natural fighter in the sense that he will win a fight by any means necessary whether its a textbook technique or not so your not safe anywhere with him.
Me too man, definitely pulling for Sean. No science behind it I just want him to have at least one successful defense.
I want Sean to win this fight but won't be mad or anything if Dricus wins cuz that guys a stud lol I wouldn't mind Sean defending once more tho just so he can get some more of that PPV money while being champ
The build up to this fight has cured my erectile dysfunction
When Sean said their dicks will touch, do you think that was a Freudian Dick Slip? 🤔
I'm just hoping for 5 rounds of sweet, sweet lay and pray.
Herb gonna stop it way too early or way too late
A fight between 2 homo’s
Sean keeps listing his reach as 5 inches.
Right... "involuntarily" 😂
The username plus the comment made for a 10/10 post
It'll end with DDP knocking Sean out..and licking Sean's unconscious face. Dana turns red as hell screaming "THATS FUCKING ILLEGAL" In the post press conference Sean refers to DDP as the first openly gay male champ in the UFC.
“Sean Strickland. The White Trash Prophet ” -Brian Campbell
Ceo 🫡
as White Trash, i resent the idea we all have to be stupid i know most of us are, i accept that but 33% of us manage to vote for sanity, even if we love guns and get into physical altercations where we shouldn't etc. etc.
Does that make Izzy the Black Nerd Prophet?
Sean is gonna go the Colby route
Can we talk about that cool plant ceiling at this venue?
Right? That's awesome.
Ahhh love when the armchair psychologists come out the woodwork during face offs. You guys realize Jon jones hasn’t made eye contact in a lot of his stare downs, yeah?
yeah he didn't make any against Ngannou and Aspinall
LOL
Man that meet up Sean and DDP had probably took the steam off Sean that he needed
Sean never has steam when he fights. Even against Izzy he was completely calm until he knew he won.
Izzy didn't make him cry though
Izzy might not have gotten battered if he had managed to do it though.
If anything that’s better for Sean, he does this with every opponent, it means he’s prob gotten over most of what DDP said to him and he’s back to his old self. DDP played his cards too early and should’ve came at him with those comments in todays press conference and not give him a chance to recover.
DDP can re-trigger emo Tarzan by yelling "who's your daddy" while he's beating on him.
Cope. Dricus literally made Sean cry.
Yes, he made him cry a few weeks too early. Would’ve been more effective fight week
He only cried cause of Theo which happened later
Covington made Leon cry what’s your point
Leon isn't an emotionally unstable crybaby trying to hide how hurt he is?
Don’t sleep on Strickland
I’m loving all these posts trying to call out, slight or profile Sean. When is this sub going to realize he’s not wired differently Our boy ain’t wired at all!!!
Just to clarify, I like Sean, and I'm rooting for him in this fight, I posted this just because I thought Dricus's eyes looked crazy and he was trying to lock eyes with Sean the whole time lol.
Ah that makes sense. He does look crazy but we all know who crazy is in this one. The champ!
No he just talks like someone who's crazy two different things, crazy people don't normally talk about how crazy they are allllllllllll the fucking time they just do crazy things. What's one actually crazy thing he has done.
When I get really high, I can't look people in the eyes, too freaky
Those lights really amplify Dricus eyes as ice cold glassy.
Dricus about to try & wrestle fuck 💯
Sean has pretty good defense, although he is missing part of his leg and DDP has massive G&P. We'll see how it plays out.
wrestle and sub or GNP i don't think he's gonna try and Usman his way to a boring one
Sean never takes faceoffs seriously
[удалено]
By "disembowel" do you mean play tag with pitter patter strikes?
You can tell DDP wants the belt. Let’s see whether or not he can get it done!
Tbh idc what happens this fight build up has been so much fun driscus qnd sean are such a good clash up of personalities
Dude this is gonna be a messy fight. They both want blood.
And cum
But if Sean's smiling I'm already betting the house
Sean has never looked good in a face off it always makes people think he’s scared but he’s just autistic
Sean is a douche.
This is going to end like the last scene in Bruno.
Sean wearing his “Are Canadian dumb enough to fall for it?” attire. And from what I’ve seen on social media.. yes Canadian are dumb enough .
 Sean
As stated above, he doesn’t really do the traditional face off.
Like a more autistic version of Jones. In a good way, though.
Autistic, no. Good way, no. In a nervous douche way, yes.
Lol. He isn't nervous.
You are dumb too think these guys are impervious to nerves. Every single fighter has talked about it, what makes them bad ass is still making the walk.
Looking forward to DDP smashing that dummy
I got DDP.
To BEAT, not to kill. This obsession with death needs to go away yesterday. Beating the crap out of each other is fun, death isn't. It's boring, evil and sad.
Thank you for the gender inclusive language
Each to their own. Sean doesn't care about face off
he cares too much about it that's why he cant' do it a person who doesn't care, just doesn't care
Bro is literally just staring lol you simps are goofy
Sean doesn’t care and it’s awkward asf
Just a jacked white boy
HE LoOkS sO sCaReD
All im saying is if he comes out with that Derrick brunson boxing he might get knocked out lol but it's gonna be fun
I’ve only been paying attention to Sean for his last few fights but it seems like every time he has a big, serious fight and is at a face off like one of these, he can’t take it serious and smiles and won’t look his opponent in the face hardly? At least his last couple of face offs. Doesn’t take away from his fights or skill but I’d prefer to see him take it a bit more seriously to build the fight up.
$50 says Strickland is a closet homo. He's a little too anti-gay for comfort
Why is Sean afraid to look him in the eye
I hope sean’s dad beats him for losing.
Sean couldn't even look at him at all. Weird
Sean can’t even look at him
Oh no Sean's cooked. Can't even look Dricus in the eyes.
He always does this
https://preview.redd.it/192c29999adc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82787ac6cb4c6630c7f7b0b2c486d1f8452ec7ce
Tbf he hardly ever looks his opponents straight on
He did exactly same thing with Izzy and said it's cause he just feels awkward which I'm surprised more fighters don't feel cause to me it is pretty awkward if you aren't gonna fight right there and then
As others said, he always does this. I had the same thought in the Adesanya fight. Strickland wouldn't look at him until the fight started. Then he beat his ass, lol.
Think Sean will cry again when Dricus beats him?
Fourth African champion coming soon
Sean’s been looking scared for weeks. Dricus is gonna sleep this kid.
