#UFC
I went to 8th grade with him and was in an opportunity class for delinquent kids. This guy was always getting into fights and had no problem telling ppl what he thought and expressed himself very well. That's great that he chose to channel that anger to something he loves doing. I barely found he's doing mma let Alone he made it the ufc list. Good job man👍
He could be champ if Whittaker wins some how but I dont see him beating adesanya
@@itzAndy03 don't see him beating either one or anyone in the current top 5
Wow, sounds like he has a lot of potential...to beat Jon Jones criminal record. 😄
He’s a weirdo, he keeps talking about wanting to kill somebody.
We’re you there when half the students beat that old lady teacher to death after boiling classroom cat? Psycho kids. Sean cut the cats tongue out dirst
Sean Strickland is what it actually looks like to love fighting. Dude is so at peace in the ring its wild. Wildly peaceful lol
Isn’t that personality called chaotic neutral?
Only came here to comment on how calm he looks during these fights. He’s completely zeroed in.
0% finish rate
Cat and mouse , Sean just playing with them
@@erkthelaw6775Sean is one of those guys that don’t mind a punch in the face the other fighters must be saying this guy relentless
Strickland vs Holland is just the perfect matchup
kzhead.info/sun/aLJ_Xb6fsYiYdq8/bejne.html
looks better than holland
@@burlhorse61 Hollands still dangerous and also unorthodox in his striking
Hell no. Holland would finish him within 2. Strickland would hardly touch him.
@@burlhorse61 Lol, you're reaching too far
I would love to see Strickland vs Kevin Holland in the future. They are both fun strikers and they have beef too
I believe he already beat Kevin Holland or that might be Brendan Allen im thinking of
Caz is a South African name isn't it?
@@greglyhoblit that was Brendan Allen
@@greglyhoblit you are right my friend, it’s Brendan Allen 😎
@@greglyhoblit Brendan Allen beat holland
I always expect Sean to speak british, can't remember seeing anyone with a more stereotypical british guy look:P
It's just because he looks abit like bisbing when he was bald no?
@@thehumanitarian99 the nose and eyebrows for me
Racist
@@marcusbailey3988 you would have to be saying something negative to be racist.
@@jameyelnoc9736 I don't think it's racist, but something negative doesn't necessarily have to be said for it to be racist
Strickland’s cardio and striking is very reminiscent of the Diaz brothers. Dude’s volume and gas tank is impressive.
Alex Pereira says hi.
@@DragonHeart613 izzy says hi.
@@kimimarokaguya6989 What does Izzy gotta do with Alex sending that clown strickland to The Shadow Realm?
Brother... Who cares, you win, you lose. Who cares
Yeah just not the chin lol
Sean has been grinding forever! Nice to finally see him get the notoriety that he deserves.
kzhead.info/sun/aLJ_Xb6fsYiYdq8/bejne.html
The most humble man in the sport he deserves his championship the work he puts in is one of a kind
totally agree man. I hope Sean has MANY successful title defenses.
@@terrancepemberton4648well he has 1 that was stolen from him
How is he not getting knocked out? When he strikes, he opens himself wide open and basically doesn’t move his head and yet he has just one loss via KO. That’s insane. I like him.
And that tko lost was by spinning head kick which is Uriah’s specialty
@Cjc 206 he fought Usman. Fight ended in decision.
@Cjc 206 because a casual would know that Sean fought Usman 4 years ago....or even know who Sean Strickland is...how do you sound? Anyways you said nothing about KOs, you said Sean hasn’t faced anyone good and I’m letting you know that he’s fought arguably the p4p best fighter in the world right now regardless of how developed his striking was you mong, Kamarus striking wasn’t terrible before his last 3 fights...he just didn’t have the sharp jab that he has now.
@@Rugbiii you’re trying to sound smart and be condescending but you just admitted that when he fought usman, usman wasn’t the striker he is today l, which just furthers Cjc’s point
@@renardmax that’s actually not what I’m trying to do at all, people that say things like “you’re trying to sound smart”are always projecting. My original comment was 100 percent matter of fact, not condescending at all because cj said that Sean has never fought anyone good, he said nothing about fighting a good striker, are you not able to read? Admitting Usman wasn’t the striker he is today does nothing to further CJs point because he said nothing about striking in the first place, dummy.
"Why won't you fall Jack , just falllllll" "F**k you" "Sorry bro, but you lost"-after Jotko rasied his hand at the end of the fight This is the rise of Sean Strickland what a great fighter as well so pumped for a real beast like Uriah Hall that he is gonna face
COME ONNNNN JACK
kzhead.info/sun/YMeJcc9vbpGvpH0/bejne.html . . . ..
The why won’t you fall lmfaoo
and he dominated hall
"Fall, Jack! WHY WON'T YOU FALL?!" "I'M NOT GONNA GET A BONUS" Man this guy is a legend 🤣
He has such a weird upright stance
I was just gonna say this. He's such an awkward fighter but somehow his straight shots hit the target more often than not.
kzhead.info/sun/aLJ_Xb6fsYiYdq8/bejne.html
Masvidal like
He should fight Khamzat...
Reminds me of BJ's hilarious tippy toe stance.
Strickland been using the Diaz gameplan. Just like 50% shots pressuring, wearing the opponent down til he really starts putting heat on his punches then finishes 🔥
Yeah true
And now, he’s champion. Sean has and always will be for the people.
he has such an efficient fighting style, super relaxed, no unneeded movements
Our new ufc mw champ ✅
Sean "You Snapped My Arm, Orlando" Strickland
Why wasnt the clip of Strickland doing the spinning backfist against the BJ coach in this video?
@@jorgebush7519 That would be funny as hell.. showing the clip of the gym tussle in the highlights of his fights LOL
@@GodsInUs Along with Rogans commentary: "OHHHhhh a spinning backfist followed up with a frontkick!! Strickland looking sharp in that light wrestling sparring session!"
3:56 Okay that yair elbow that jotko landed was actually clean, more impressively sean didn't seem bothered by it
Going to have to make a new one of these...
I'd love to see Sean Strickland fight Khamzat Chimaev
Sean talked about them sparring together
Khamzat would make him quit
@@jesseramirez9205 Unlikely. Neither of them will quit.
@@seanmatthewkingStrickland won't really have a choice
@@jesseramirez9205 Cumshot is so overrated all he did was beat 2 cans and now all u kids think he’s best fighter ever
He hasn't fought with fans in the arena since summer 2018.. Much respect for this man challenging the more dangerous weight class serious about winning after such a bad accident that changed his career...i wish him a lot of luck in this run hope he keeps training really hard such a great and entertaing lad to have in the sport You need to put a lot of respect on his name
What accident ?
@@Mr.Skeleton. Motorcycle I think.
Debut on 2014 and finally become the CHAMPION! I love you man u inspire me a lot
Actually Sean impressed me during a loss a few years ago, understanding where he was in his career and who he was fighting. His progress is great, feel sad he has to try to be the heel to get attention.
Wow it’s crazy from this to world champion! DESTINY
I have a feeling that Sean will be champion for a looonge time
@@vosaemify i would lovvveee thaat but ngl hes gonna have a couple of tough fights rematch against izzy if he wins duplessi then maybe whittaker and who know maybe theyll throw in khamzat he will fight costa so def could happen and if those are his next 4 fights its gonna be tough i would be so happy tho if hed beat em all tho
@@tellsteveharveyidontwanthe2283pelo menos umas 5 defesas ele faz
i think uriah’s leg kicks could be a big part of this fight cus sean sometimes looks heavy on his legs
Maybe Uriah will win by a head kick, this would be cool
Uriah is imho a more wholesome fighter but Strickland is extremly talented and gets better each fight so who knows, it's a very interesting matchup but it can also end very quickly one way or another. Hope for both of them to end the fight unscathed, they are great guys.
@@nathanielnizard2163 well rounded is the word you were going for I'm guessing, not trying to be a dick or anything
@@ayushshetty5881 well Uriah is wholesome too
💯
Who else came here after he defeated Izzy?
Absolutely dismantled Izz
You mean Jizzy the dog bender
Unique style. He never trains with boxing gloves. He knows how to hit with different parts of his hand sort of like the Diaz brothers. Great MMA Boxing.
the best part about Sean is that he's an everyman. and I mean that with all due respect. hes not a genetic freak, he's not crazy explosive or dynamic. everything i see him do i think "i could. do that if i trained hard".
The best kind of fighter, like Cerrone, Lytle etc
don't let that fool you... he has superhuman stamina and clarity
Nah u crazy, this dude was fighting grown men at 14 for cash
I know what you mean. As long as you’re a tough son of a bitch like him.
Sean strickland is the kinda guy that makes you regret fighting in the ufc or fighting in general. And i love thats hes always wanting to improve and says he will to everyone. Thats what i do and it works cause you dont wanna disapoint. Ill follow this guy.
And now he’s the champ. What a rise
Man im gunna lose my mind in Joy if sean Pulls off a win tomorrow in this fight with Izzy 🙏 Edit; I indeed lost my mind 😂
The "fuck you" after the fight with Allen always cracks me up 😂
The peoples champ. Cannot believe he holds the mw belt after dominating the divisions most dominant champ in YEARS. Crazy to revisit this and see what he's achieved.
Why does this video make him look normal? This dude is the most eccentric and borderline insane fighter in the UFC.
who's here after UFC 293?
Damn he’s actually impressive
kzhead.info/sun/aLJ_Xb6fsYiYdq8/bejne.html
He’s very impressive, watch his full fights, it’s exciting the whole time, as soon as I first saw him after his time off in 2020 I knew he was something special
@@MoazzamStudio he’s crazy heavy handed naturally it’s weird. He generates no speed or power from his lower body at all but connects with accuracy and does big damage. He’d probably rarely gas because of it. He’s an extremely awkward fighter but he comes to scrap and I love it
He doesn’t look the part but is the part, trust me
kzhead.info/sun/hM6zZMhta3Nse2w/bejne.html
Having the 'I'm grateful every day I wake up. I'm just happy to get in the cage' attitude is the most efficient way to the belt imo(besides Chandler's way by butting the line lol). Great attitude.. keep setting 'em up, and I'll knock 'em down! Eventually, people can't ignore you with enough wins💯 #contender
kzhead.info/sun/d5aAaJule3ygoKM/bejne.html😭sad
yeah dana loves that attitude cause he knows they wont negotiate those contracts lol
@trilluminate Yea, Strickland doesn't seem like he cares at all who they put in front of him either. That combined with no negotiations is money for Dana. Who else can you think of that's about that in the UFC? Not many
Just imagine Fight Week with Kevin Holland and Strickland in the interviews and conferences back and forth haha 🔥🔥 fire from beginning to end, then an epic striking fight 👏🏼🔥
Sean Strickland’ jumping knees in slow motion alll the time 😂😂
For those of u who hate watching ads like me - if u getta video that's about to play two ads, u can refresh the page after the first ad plays and skip the second ad entirely. Works on youtube app as well, just close out the vid after first ad then reopen video. Second ad will be skipped
He is such a SCRAPPER 💪🤘 The dude just gets it. He doesn't have to hit a home run every punch, he thinks long term, he lights opponents up through out the fight like being attacked by a bee hive!
the scary thing is that he's perfectly countering every single attack the throw at him once he's in the zone
SS got some sneaky straight punches and mixes in that weird right hook effectively when he moves off the center line.
And now he is the Welterweight Champion of the world!!
ANDDDD NEWWWW
I'm a huge fan after he hilariously punked out Izzy... 🤣
Sean Strickland is the man, love his cool calm vibe, he must be a great guy to hang out with 👏👏👏👏
Hate him or love him he's fun to watch!
Why don’t people like him?
kzhead.info/sun/d5aAaJule3ygoKM/bejne.html😭sad
@@quesofresco8095 mma fans today hate everyone with some confidence
Nah he go hard I fuck with bronem
First. Stands straight up and deliberate. Uriah
Lol nah
Dude has one of the most unique fighting styles I’ve seen
This video aged well
Welcome, champ! Congrats, you made us happy for you 🎉
Sean Strickland will meet his demise when he faces Alex Pereira
Who's here after hilarious press conference? 🤣
He fights like a surgeon taking his time with his tools because he knows everything is going to be okay 👌🏽
Anyone giving grief to Strickland for his knockout loss to Alex should remember how many times Izzy has been knocked out by the guy. Sometimes, the other guy just hits harder and/or more accurately. Sometimes, it's just not your night. For Sean, his record shows he's had a lot more favorable fights than unfavorable. Just hoping he can keep it going long enough to get gold and maybe even retire on a win.
I don’t see Strickland matching up well against Izzy to be honest with you
Pereira is also a high level kickboxer with a ton of knockouts , people seem to also forget that
@@Realest636none of us did, but he proved us wrong
@@steveguy3 the only thing that I thought Strickland had going for him was confidence or attitude . Oddly enough. Some would tell me that doesn’t matter. I think it matters sometimes more than people think
He should rematch Orlando Sanchez if he wins this Saturday
kzhead.info/sun/d5aAaJule3ygoKM/bejne.html😭sad
kzhead.info/sun/d5aAaJule3ygoKM/bejne.html😭
He's such a fun guy, i love it. Let's go Sean!!!
Way to go Sean!!!! Champ!!!
Give this man a title fight
who is here after his press conference?
Yeah he killed
Strickland is a great prospect imo. He gets hit a bit and some of his defensive tendencies scare me a little against the bigger hitters in that division but I see him doing well in the future💯
kzhead.info/sun/YMeJcc9vbpGvpH0/bejne.html . .
He has some the best defense stats in the ufc , just has some of the dumbest fight iq not wanting to take Alex down and got punished for it
@@jesusblanco7657 I’m sorry but I just absolutely hate his open center reactive parry street fighting defense💀💀💀 it’s a liability against power punchers and it got exposed hard Saturday night. He also eats about 80% of the leg kicks thrown at him if not more so yeah his defense is ass to me still.
2 years later and he's now considered one of the best defensive fighters in all of MMA currently lol
@@charlesbrown4483 whoever tf said that is a liar and doesn’t know fighting. All stricklands defense has developed to is more arms out parrying and 0 head movement besides a lean back. Izzy is Gonna snipe him Saturday just like poatan
Love how Sean Strickland fights.
Well, how stoopid do I feel 😂 What a result for 'The Risen One' Congratulations to the,Aaaaand New, Middleweight champion of the world! 🙏
I liked what he had to say about Sean o'malley letting a p3do tattoo him
That WAS awesome. The best was Till saying 'When a Transgender Women Thinks She's Pregnant'.. and it was a piece of poop on the screen 😆. PS- I specialize in the Gender ID field. Most of the women ARE really men in the UFC (and all sports, even the Olympics 💯), in case you couldn't tell. So sad
@@GodsInUs gender ID field lmao ok
He's really been quite humble through his rise. Now that he's top 10, almost top 5, he's taken a page from colby's playbook and turned it up to 100. Strickland is still so damn genuine and unassumingly hilarious that he's gotta go down for one of the greatest, if not the greatest combat personalities of all time! I hope I get to see him bring a bra for izzy at the presser 🤭👙
I was certainly surprised. He made the news cause he got that jiu jitsu guy angry at him, and for a second we thought he was just messing with a gym bully. But then we found out Sean was the gym bully. And rather than apologize he turned into a character.
@@ProtomanButCallMeBlues yea, I guess that's what happens when you turn into a neo nazi p.o.s. after surviving a drunk abusive dad. But he seems like a good non racist guy these days, except he's still a total judgmental dick and a bully. But it's freakin great for tv how he plays it.
@@ezradaiquiri11311 that's what I'm thinking. The gym bully shit is his coaches problem, not mine. "WHY WON'T YOU FALL JACK" had me laughing. I want more of this guy
top 1
@StrasznySaTaN666 so damn satisfying lol. Let's go champ!
And NEW champion.
Great work on Izzy, Sean!
Damn really sucks Rockhold had to pull out, looked forward to it and a good test for both guys..
Maybe going into Sean and Uriah fight I underestimated Sean. Seeing this, this guy is a beast and very aware. Unique fighting style that absolutely works. It's like he's right in your face but aware at all times. And he did eat some big strikes and just kept moving forward. Talk about in the picket at all times even when rocked. I don't like shit talk but man he's a beast@
I'm a fan after his antics for the UFC 276 Prefight conference
I like Shawn, he's super humble and always looking to improve his game. Good striker.
Wow, he looks so much healthier at 185, good move!
Sean Strickland is my favorite American fighter.. he talks the talk and walks the walk 💯 .. can't wait to see his next fight after training with Khamzat 👀
What is like about Sean is that he’s one of us , he’s real , he doesn’t put himself above us 🙏
Chill vibes, good times with that music selection
He needs to tuck that chin before it gets cracked by the wrong guy
By Uriah Hall
@@ryant390 Lol
People been sleeping on Strickland for far too long. One of the most underrated guys in the sport
His story is great too. Coming back after a motorcycle accident. Man is a psychopath.
#facts. Dude been in the UFC since 2014 with a 24-3 record, and he's just coming to fruition. I'm not too crazy about him saying 'I'd love nothing more than to kill someone in the cage', but he's good. He might make his way to the belt eventually, but he's got a terrible style to go against a leg-kicker like Israel. Unless he can somehow keep Adesanya going backwards the whole fight, Izzy would tear them legs up imo
@@darlingboyMMA literally
@@GodsInUs He'd need to learn to really cut off the cage like Paulo.
@@GodsInUs Spot on w that - totally agree. From the top ten I think he could beat a handful of them imo: Till, Hermansson, Brunson, Vettori, Cannonier. I think he'd get his head taken off by bobby knuckles, KG and Costa though
Here after the presser. what a character
Had to do a little bit of research from the upcoming fight between him and Izzy. For a record of 27 - 5 - 0 and his highlights here have to say that he will be a good competitor for the champion.
I honestly don’t see why people seem to hate him. Especially knowing how he grew up, he could’ve easily ended up a alcoholic loser but instead made it to the main stage of MMA.
Who the fook is Shawn Strickland
Here after he dismantled China man and won my bet, thank you Sean Strickland will go in my book as one of my favs
Holy boxing dude just effortlessly throws punches and they work
Let this sink in mickey gall earned more than Cory Sandhagen last weekend
that's great, but why comment that on a Sean Strickland video? lol
Because Mickey Gall beat the goat CM Punk
Seems like a cool guy on top of being able to throw down. Always nice to see.
4:07 - corn syrup? 😂
Someone needs to do a voice over with bisping when Sean talks at the end of each fight lol
Dudes a beast
kzhead.info/sun/YMeJcc9vbpGvpH0/bejne.html . . . ....
Imagine him vs Khamzat Chimaev. The clash of personalities would be insane.
Maybe the most humble champion we've ever had and I really don't think that there are many maybes
That ref stoppage with Garcia was very well done
3:13 His F you meant that was a personal fight. Always love those...
Strickland’s underrated but I’ve got Hall 👊🏼🔥
Good boxing, but he's slow and never moves his head. Hall gets hit a lot too so idk who i got w this one
just think he'll struggle against a top striker-walks in a straight line
I think Hall will KO him. I'm not THAT impressed by Strickland.
@@mmatime7034 wrong, let’s come back to this after Strickland wins
The heart of a champion and a once beaten man!
I love how he just calmly walks them down
Nice intro
kzhead.info/sun/YMeJcc9vbpGvpH0/bejne.html . . .
sean strickland has superstar personality and i think he will be champ one day.
Woow reaching much
@@venomgoldenreaper3834 fr man he hasn't fought enough top tier guys to even decide that. That's like saying O'Malley has promise to be champ when he hasn't fought any good test besides chito vera
I love him but he have to improve some things.
He’s not that good defensively imo. I see him getting sparked at least 2-3 times coming into the top 15
I like how he always talks about trying to get better
Let's flood this comment section with love for our new champ! 🎉
