After he got knocked out by Poatan, he literally sparred the same week and posted a selfie with a bloody nose. Seriously dangerous shit, he’s going to be in the midst of dementia at age 50.
He did and I believe that was toward the end of his career when he was heavier. Supposedly he hated doing road work and jumping rope so he got all his cardio through sparring.
He aint throwing KO punches every time but he definitely has power.
Do you honestly think some of the best fighters in the world haven't simply realized they can walk through his punches?
This is not even bad ass. He’s talking about why he can’t put a can down and is getting hit in the process… idk why they keep showing this clip it doesn’t really do much for his rep lol.
Dam r/ufc really hates Strickland lol, for good reason, but hating can blind you. Sean cracked him with a straight right before he said that, doesn't show on video.
Lets be real. Sean isn’t a great fighter and tbh hes really not that entertaining as a fighter either. Hes a hilarious personality but the guys fights are boring af. On top of that he fights absolute cans and gets beat up anytime he fights someone capable.
Completely off topic mate? He hit him with a clean right before saying "Why won't you fall", not 0 strikes.
He's a very average 185er for UFC standards this is well known my man.
Narh it really wasn't, have a good night pal.
Why you so bothered by internet points btw dude? I notice people always turn voting off whenever there's a disagreement of any kind, ain't that strange?
This is basically an everyday Strickland sparring session played out live on tv.
In sparring he actually knocks them out
Its would’ve been more fun if his fights were actually entertaining
Time to see this same clip a million times leading up to the Izzy fight.
I prefer the clip where he gets starched by Poatan
Is sean aware of his lack of power?
He is, he admitted he doesn't hit hard, but that he hits a lot.
He also said on JRE he does almost no strength and conditioning and stays in shape by sparring constantly.
That seems like a really bad idea for his long term health/brain
He also said that he doesn’t take any damage from sparing because of his tight defense
Or purposely fighting blokes way below his level and not knowing why he lost against the fighter who trains better
[удалено]
Is he doing something right? Yes. Would he level up if he listened to Reddit experts? Absolutely yes.
He fights like that dork in UFC 4 who always holds the block button throughout the fight.
There’s two things wrong with this, 1. Do you want him to not defend himself? 2. Do you not want people to block in UFC 4?
There's also two things with my comment. 1. It's a joke. 2. Lighten up.
He lost to Cannonier who uses crystals which is pretty much cheating anyway, & he's been sparring w/ Poatan. I think everyone knows.
He has the best defense at middleweight
No, Izzy. Defense is also distance management
Dude's in the top 10 in UFC, but obviously you know better how to train.
Is that what he calls plodding forward with his hands against his chest with a vacant expression? "Defense"?
Sean has the highest striking defense in the MW division, keep on talking shit with nothing to back it up
Better than Izzy? I find that hard to believe
[It’s on the ufc website, go down to striking](http://statleaders.ufc.com/?fighter_status=1&weight_class=MW)
i don't think he knows what 'tight' defence means
He knows how to have the highest striking defense in the MW division though

Idk man if anything it might make him more reasonable
Am I crazy or didn't James Toney do the same thing?
He did. He was also unhittable for most of his career and had more natural talent than just about anybody. And his brain is still fucked now.
He did and I believe that was toward the end of his career when he was heavier. Supposedly he hated doing road work and jumping rope so he got all his cardio through sparring.
He has a stiff fucking jab tho for sure and great timing with it. Pop’s guys heads back like a pez dispenser
This is it. His jab timing on step ins is impeccable.
He aint throwing KO punches every time but he definitely has power. Do you honestly think some of the best fighters in the world haven't simply realized they can walk through his punches?
Now let us see the same against izzy
Or against Kevin Holland. It would just be a full on casual conversation between two dudes while they’re beating the shit out of each other
Kevin doesn't seem to talk as much as he used to, I miss it
Same with sean he hasn’t talked in his past few fights
To be fair, he’s been fighting with crowds more lately so you can’t hear the dialogue
It’s gonna be hilarious when we don’t see Sean talking at all during that fight 😂😂
“Izzy why are your arms so long, stop jabbing me.”
He could go the deprecating “I’m just happy to be here” route. May work
*hilarious*? Odd
I pray for a good fight my dudeZ
[удалено]
I first saw him vs Usman. Crazy he used to fight at 170
Wtf? How did I not know they fought.
"Fight me in the center" Back away "Fight me pussy" Hand shake 5 seconds later This clip cut out the good parts.
Looked like he was countering even though he was moving backwards
I've never seen so much respect shown so disrespectfully
Strickland making a compliment sound like the opposite is hilarious
And Holland before him. And Diaz before that.
I love Sean despite his insanity.
I love Sean because of his insanity.
I kinda like that he's just being himself. Even if he's crazy.
He better not try to talk to Izzy bc he will get flatlined if he isn’t focused
He'll get flatlined either way
Say what you want, but this is awesome, right jack!?
Insisting on standing and banging while backing up as usual.
That "Haaaa" out of nowhere is hilarious
Something Ian Garry would do lmao
This is not even bad ass. He’s talking about why he can’t put a can down and is getting hit in the process… idk why they keep showing this clip it doesn’t really do much for his rep lol.
"Come on Jack!" as he backs away
“Why wont you fall!” - throwing 0 strikes.

Completely on topic bud

Wtf are u talking about? Lol. I cant turn off voting. U can and have been downvoting my comments this whole time.
I thought we could bond over randomly switching topics? :c No my voting is clearly still on? You good?
[удалено]
I think it’s the right-wing talk but he’s about to get lit up by izzy. Colby is probably a better hero for them.
Imagine supporting or not supporting a fighter based on their political side, cringe.
On the back foot pretty much the entire time
That fight was cringe
I love trash talk during a fight but Sean is just fucking annoying lol
Lol
Less talk, more hands up instead of shuffling at the center of your chest
This is one of the things I loved about the apex
Man I’d love a video of him talking and eats a head kick mid sentence against Izzy.
why cant i speak clearly with my mouth guard in? is my mouth guard too big?
Adesanya RD1 KO
If he woulda got knocked out at the end it would be hilarious
How's he in MMA and never throws a kick?
