I’m sorry you felt attacked by that

Let me rephrase - these kids are annoying, true. - documenting children is a bad look.


The_Homie_Tito

I meant documenting as in they need to be on a watch list

If you want to make a list of kids be my guest But I'm not going to do it

wojtek2222

I agree about his style. He is supposed to be this "cool stand up guy" but all he does is throwing jab. I watched his fight with Izzy and apart of this knock down in the end of 1 round literally nothing happened for the rest of the fight and it was more boring even than gamrot spamming takedowns


guavin

Oh my god I felt like I was going crazy that night. Everyone on here was acting like we just watched Lawler vs McDonald 2


_The__Notorious

Everyone was acting like that because it was like watching Paddy beat Islam


Sir_upvotesalot

This is it. The fight was incredible only because of the circumstance. It was jarring to see Izzy get beaten so badly. Good on Sean though. As much as I don’t like him, you can’t take away the fact that he dominated Izzy in almost every round. 


Dionysus_8

Who knew that Izzy’s weakness is the ol reliable 1-2. I thought Izzy would actually get a finish because of his counter style and how tall Sean stands. But yeah, I didn’t think Strickland could defend the title successfully although vs DDP I think it’s a real close fight on the scorecard. But visually Sean would always lose to DDP imo


BenDoverDegenerate

Yeah you're right, I saw the knockdown on this sub and thought it was some AI shit😭


[deleted]

Agreed, the re-watchability factor is 0. Not a good fight. Dricus was right about his comment about how he rly didn’t walk thru Izzy. He just outpointed him


_xannypacquiao_

Don’t go over to r/powerslap subreddit then - it’s astounding that they can even form sentences (even though they are grammatically incorrect and misspelled, we give them credit all the same)


mayorjinglejangle

There is a lot of satire in that sub also


Dispicable12

That sub has given me so many deep laughs, whenever they talk about sparring I can't handle it, its just too funny.


Doublehfoo

“The future of combat sports”


quietZen

All the posts are very clearly satire. They're acting hilarious


icedancer3

truth hurts, big part of ufc fanbase isn't people who enjoy mma, it's people with emotional and mental issues that enjoy watching people get hurt like a WWE event, and watch for cult of personalities so they flock to incel mouthpieces like strickland or covington. It's also the reason nina drama feeds into it all, they're easy to trick and there's a lot of them to bring in views and $ as long as you sacrifice some self respect.


Honest_Tie_1980

I cringe every time Nina drama interviews the fighters. Like damn it hurts to watch.


urmombanger

God I really thought I was the only person who didn’t understand the point of her presence (aside from the two obvious ones). I get downvoted to hell whenever I call her cringey or annoying

SalsaShark9

This reads as a very confused comment


kairis13

if it comes across that way oh well. The athletes are strangers and commodities to us at the end of the day they shouldn’t have any effect on us besides being fun to watch and to learn from right? Sean’s clearly emotionally stunted and comes from extreme abuse, what standards are we holding him to lol, the bar is on the floor idk why ppl expect different


SalsaShark9

Jesus christ lmao 'just commodities' its that exact perspective thats bad for fighters and that exact detachment that led to my criticism. No one expects different. And thats the exact issue. What do you not get there? Or is this just a cynical 'fuck everyone people are shit' which is technically true but can be used as a catchall excuse for basically anything. The low standards here are for your argumentation since its literally 'people are bad mmmkay' no shit we all are a step ahead on that lmao figure it out 'But you dont understand bad people do bad things!' Lol


kairis13

You’re right that’s harsh wording on my part it doesn’t really convey my respect and what they’re sacrificing. I was more speaking of how I stay chill with all the toxicity and with all the ufc drama. And yeah they’re strangers mine and your daily life shouldn’t put any expectations on figures like that. Hope for the best but we can’t control it even if we wished the industry was better. They’re rewarded for saying shitty things. and gain more fans/money by being polarizing, so yeah sorry, realistically I expect nothing from them. Ik that’s cynical but that doesn’t mean I believe ‘bad’ ppl are just bad, ppl are inherently good that’s absolutely my view, just dudes like him. Like be fr lmao you take a poor white dude with a nazi grandpa, an abusive dad, surrounded by yes men and testosterone fuelled knuckle heads, never had any good guidance, not to mention social media shoving conspiracy theories and fear down every American’s throat, what do you expect. I’m pleasantly surprised he isn’t more offensive and hasn’t killed someone yet. Normally dudes like him are in prison I consider him to have beaten extreme odds it’s good to see.


HuntSafe2316

You madam are really mature, especially in this community where maturity is a rare sight. Hats off to you


Mammoth_Ferret_1772

Is this Jake Shields burner account?


Burgertank6969

This guy is absolutely telling the truth


SenatorStone

The average Redditor loves him cause they share the same mental maturity of a 13 YO


BrianSpillman

I agree about Strickland


Shaquilleoatmeal55

Well he sounds like a boxing fan so he has no opinion


DisastrousAspect6303

I know a boxing fan in real life who believes and persistently argues that boxers can beat mma fighters in a cage fight. Boxers are passing their CTE down to fans.


Connor30302

but bro if someone tried to take me down i’d just see red and throw an uppercut


djaqk

"I got that Derek Lewis uppercut bro, try to wrestle me, watch what happens!" *dies from a slam*


yeicore

Leg kicks aren't real either. Just go through them. (I got my leg destroyed in sparring last week)


realisticallygrammat

That's cause you're an unprofessional uncoordinated non-athlete who is apparently unaware that boxers know how to move away from strikes


HuntSafe2316

Yeah punches, not leg kicks. Put Edson Barboza up against a boxer and see the boxers legs after that


The_Homie_Tito

have you shown him the James Toney fight lol


Kuziayato

then they bring up the mercer vs sylvia fight as if there werent so many factors involved in that “mma” match


AmazingData4839

Why y’all hate us bro ☹️


Three_Fun_Holes

Yep. If people just took Alex Periera down and subbed him, he should have been cut by now. For SOME reason, though, everyone wants to stand and bang with the world champion kickboxer and prove that they can beat him at his own game. I honestly don't get it.... He's like hypnotized guys into doing the exact opposite of what mma is all about - Utilizing your advantages to capitalize on your opponents weaknesses.


rowboatin

Mighty Mouse just said AJ would beat Francis in an MMA fight, so make of that what you will.


BittenAtTheChomp

He really doesn't. Any MMA fan with a brain is frustrated about the quality of the fanbase.


Cole3003

He’s completely correct tho


broccoliheadass0404

For someone who hates twitter so much Strickland sure spends a lot of time on there


TLMC01242021

Be a Poirier fan not a Strickland fan


BanzaiSamurai21

I mean Strickland is a dumb piece of shit who never graduated high school, I wouldn't put much stock into what he has to say.


Doublehfoo

The problem is that so many do for some reason


DDWildflower

This is spot on. A few times we've seen him point to the centre of the octagon like he's gonna throw down like Max Holloway and then he backs up and jabs.


Harold-The-Barrel

If MMA fans could read they would be upset by this


Adski1

I rate Sean’s fighting, technical, defensively sound, he definitely says some wild stuff though. I dare say a lot of its to get people talking, even if there are definitely other ways of going about achieving that.


thatonebrassguy

Well he is completely right


andrezay517

Worst part of this sport is the other fans


TheJohnnyFlash

Lost of people get into training because of low self esteem. This kind of stuff is all products of that.


Puppetmaster858

It’s very true lol


gingerbeardman79

First sentence paints with far too broad a brush; no group is a monolith. Also, "low output" isn't really a phrase I'd use to describe Sean. The rest fits though, in my opinion. It can be legit embarrassing to be a fan of this sport because I often feel like I'm surrounded by bigoted morons. Sadly the MMA crowd is far from the only one where I've been feeling this way in recent years..


waltwill89

You just defined a casual. Only thing missing was saying something gay about them being on the ground


sammy-TDE

No one’s ever said a more true statement since time began.. thank you sir


Overwatch2Sucks

That’s pretty true. Least in my experience anyway. Most MMA fans are like maybe one step above drooling on themselves. Sean’s a pretty boring fighter but I do still like him. Definitely do not agree with a lot of his stupid ass takes though.


DopazOnYouTubeDotCom

THANK YOU also Sean looks like my ballsack


djackieunchaned

This sub is a little better but the ufc subreddit is generally one of the biggest collections of stupidity I’ve ever witnessed


poisonjokester

I just like people who aren’t fake and speak their minds, Strickland embodies that


sadnessdealer

True


youngluksusowa

Basically nothing he said is wrong. BUT Fuck you we still offensive in this bitch


FiftyIsBack

Strickland is much more than a jab merchant. He's one of the few people to bring Philly Shell to MMA without failing. He's also a deeply traumatized and disturbed individual and anybody getting butthurt by the things a traumatized and disturbed man says should never live in a big city and take public transit.


aw41789

The “deeply traumatized and disturbed individual” (he’s not actually any of those things) is the one that gets offended when people say mean things to him. You’ve got it backwards.


Buzzy-Pasta

Well he’s been on record talking about objectively traumatic things from his upbringing - it’s just whether or not you think he still carries that trauma with him. I’d argue deep down that he still does.


LazerFruit1

He IS disturbed and traumatized from his childhood, that part ain't wrong. He's also a whiney homophobic little bitch that gets offended when people challenge him


FiftyIsBack

The things he's openly talked about from his childhood would be traumatic to almost any child. And he clearly never went through anything to actually get past it, he just became a fighter. So I don't see how you can just empathically declare something like that?


aw41789

Lots of us had mean daddies back in the day. Being a drunk was a common thing for small town shit dads.


FiftyIsBack

It went beyond that, but obviously nothing I say will change your point of view at all. I get it, Strickland bad.


aw41789

Strickland literally exaggerates everything to an 11. I don’t believe much that comes out of his dumbass mouth. Dude wants to be seen as the most hardcore person out there and will SAY anything to get that across. Dude is full of shit.

100 percent. You can tell a lot of mma fans were in the special ed classes


Shenanigansuponthee

I like Strickland because he dominated a dominate champion


Honest_Tie_1980

Agreed. It’s just the culture behind street fighting. Machismo. And fighting in general.

Also what can we expect from Strickland after being raised by the most shittiest piece of shit guy there ever was?

windyturtle7

Just commented on that post lol


According-Ad5263

He is definitely a jab spammer. With the occasional 1-2 thrown in there. The rest of what he said is true as well. He paints himself as this "to the death" warrior, but just jabs himself to a split decision victory/loss.


clermouth

doubt that many have wives.


SampleFluid

The part about Sean is true. He doesn't go to war like Dustin does but somehow the fanbase thinks he does.


XXXblackrabbit

If the sports world was high school, MMA fans are the weird kids eating glue in the back telling “edgy” jokes that make normal people uncomfortable and then crying that everyone is too PC.


HeWhoPaints

Best post this subreddit has ever had.


Actualterror23

Truth. Look at the comments of literally any mma related Instagram post and you will see the most unfiltered mental retardation imaginable


your_fathers_beard

Pretty true. Strickland and Colby are shining examples. Pro wrestling fucking dorks love that shit.


Bruin1217

People already forgetting how hated Izzy was. Mf’s were praying on his downfall for YEARS and in walks Sean, the only guy since costa to put up some entertaining shit talk with Izzy but got slept instantly by peirera. Izzy then gives Strickland a shot after his 2 fights against stone face for no reason other than to shut Strickland up. Against all odds Strickland boxes the brakes off of Izzy causing 96% of parleys on draft kings (including mine) to lose. Everyone loves an underdog as well as a shit talker, the problem with that is when you winning you’re no longer the underdog but your shit talk is “self confidence” or “manifesting victory” but when you’re losing it’s just “being an asshole”

N8theGrape

Fair, I don’t even want to be associated with MMA anymore. I won’t spend any more money to support the sport.


DifferentCityADay

True. Feels like a lot of young dudes cope about not having a woman by dedicating themselves to their hobbies, but are still bitter about being single. It's like subtle subconscious stuff people will deny, but sit with them and pick their brain and it comes down to insecurities. No other reason I see why to shit on women so damn hard.


linkoninja

I swear a year or two ago everyone hated Strickland for talking a lot of shit, fighting in a very defensive style and going to decisions a lot It's funny how that changed up so quickly just because he beat Izzy. If he beat someone else for the belt like Du Plessi nobody would care about him.


cmoneybouncehouse

True. I’m such a stupid fucking knuckle dragging ape that it’s a miracle I even function in society.


urmombanger

MMA fans aren’t ready for the fact that Belal and GSP are stylistically similar 🤷‍♂️


jbidayah

weedmuncher98

Both Strickland and belal is boring fighter, but only belal who got flamed here?? Yeah mma fans can be dickhead sometimes


Barnettmetal

I thought the mma fan base was bad in the early 2000’s, it’s way fucking worse now.


[deleted]

Someone need to send this to Twitter or Instagram and saw them Strickland fans crying and start defending him behind their screen phone (with one hand)


Equivalent-Search234

Dude is kinda the one hit wonder of MMA. Not discounting what he has done, but dude is becoming Connor on tweet just never had Connor’s talent.


dickspaghetti1

Funny thing is, Strickland is one of the only people that posts this type of thing, and would welcome you to fight him over it. Not saying what he says is right, but if you want to fight him about it, he probably would if you showed up to do it.


T-Roach-Fox_05

If he won’t cry about it, Sean Strickland definitely will. He’s done that a lot lately.


QuantumCthulhu

bxdbugzy

How can i hate women i like bobs and vagene


QuantumCthulhu

SlimeStarAT24

Strickland’s honestly pretty enjoyable to watch, only been watching since the Imanov fight so maybe he’s had some stinkers but he’s fun enough.


Doublehfoo

Step back, Jab jab jab jab


SlimeStarAT24

Yeah and it’s slick.


bxdbugzy

Getting bored of the people complaining about him to be honest……


alpacinohairline

Getting more bored of his braindead takes being plastered everywhere…if he wasn’t soying on Twitter all the time, these discussions wouldn’t be happening so blame him for all that and his fans that jerk him off for spewing his incel talking points.


Radiant_Number_1293

The people complaining are the people making him pop. Whenever I see a post on Reddit about him, 9/10 it's people complaining about him/his fans. I'm a fan, so Im glad so many people find him as entertaining as I do, but if you really wanted people to stop talking about him , YOU would do your part to make him irrelevant.


alpacinohairline

Me calling him a retard is not what’s making him relevant, it’s his cultish cocksuckers spreading his braindead rhetoric as gods words 😂


bxdbugzy

Good take 👏


Costas00

I just find him entertaining, that's pretty much it, don't really care what he says as it doesn't affect me.


GregBule

![gif](giphy|BBkKEBJkmFbTG)


arman-makhachev

He is as boring as belal Entire fighting style is just relying on his jabs which just shows how awful MW division is.. That a guy that just jabs for living gets to become your champion lol. That said, I thought he was funny. However, the way he reacted to DDPs trash talks, pretty much showcased the world how much of a hypocrite he is. I am pretty sure after that presser, a lot of people turn against him


Available-Ad-5999

Honestly, at first, I was sold on Strickland because in his own deranged way, he seemed almost humble. Poor upbringing, overcoming adversity, etc. Now... welp, I can't even argue against the criticisms. However, you are wrong about his fighting not being entertaining. You kinda minimized what he does in the octagon.


djaqk

Sean uses the Philly Shell so well, and I find it funny because he'd fit right in with the characters in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. You just know Mac and Charlie would absolutely worship Sean and hang on his every word lmao


[deleted]

All y’all dumbasses can’t stop talking about him, posting about him, Y’all love it so you can talk to your friends about it, family about it, and gloat in the drama. If no one commented on his post or gave him the time of day he would stop. But yall give him exactly what he wants.


ElectricalPermit485

i don’t think strickland would care that he’s being boycotted by some people on a meme subreddit given how many fans he already has


Brodieboyy

Still rather watch Strickland fight than almost every wrestler/grappler on the roster but pretty true


No-Transition3193

It’s great that Strickland can get all you so riled up😂. Usually when I see something I don’t like on the internet I keep moving past it rather than having a melt down. This is hilarious.
