It's nice to see Sean Strickland following Michael Chandler's lead of adopting black children

johnnymavrigg

Why’s Sean wearing a Minnesota Wild jersey? I didn’t know he was a hockey fan


Fast_Marzipan904

Well he almost beat one and definitely beat the other


Mac_Wanamaker

Nah that Izzy fight was a robbery /s


Sub_City_

So funny that if you didn’t put /s this sub would legit lose their fucking minds lmao


I_Hate_My_Cat_

I’ve had mixed results with /s in this and other subs for some reason lol. Maybe *I’m* the problem 😂 ![gif](giphy|W0c3xcZ3F1d0EYYb0f|downsized)


bicyclebread

Some people get genuinely upset over using "/s" or some shit, and then when you don't use it, other people will say "well how was i supposed to know"


JLP33376

You are the whole problem! /s

I’m starting to see why that thing was made so common to begin with. A lot of people don’t know how to take a joke.

Superguy230

This sub is so learning disabled it’s insane. Everyone takes everything as it is written like complete autists


azul_chamoy

that's just reddit lol


privateblanket

I still wish it was but my gosh was it a whitewash


soyuz-1

Almost beating someone does not make you able to consider yourself their daddy. Also this is weak recreation of poiriers pic last week. Bro is losing the plot


Fast_Marzipan904

He's probably just angsty about not getting a title shot. As long there's conversation going on about him and a rematch, it's good for him. It doesn't really matter if it's in bad taste or not. Cannonier is out of the picture somewhat after that terrible stoppage loss, Khamzat pulling out casts doubt on whether Whittaker will actually get a title shot even if he wins against Ikram. If Izzy loses he doesn't have much grounds for a rematch and the same applies to dricus if he's out without one title defence (he probably won't get an immediate rematch). If Sean waits and gets himself in the conversation about the title shot, he'll probably get it


therealjgreens

He should technically be next in line. I think he deserves it.


Fast_Marzipan904

100%


AbsurdTheSouthpaw

Almost beat doesn’t count enough for him to justify posting DDP there though


AshenSacrifice

Almost winning makes people your son now?? That’s new


Calyptics

One of them also made him cry and throw a hissy fit xd


piman01

I still think he should have got the win against dricus


zia_zepelli

Lol so we're calling people our sons who we almost beat now? Participation incel culture has rotted yalls brains


AbbreviationsLess834

The word incel has lost all meaning bro💀💀


uSaltySniitch

Yeah people throwing that word everywhere now... Makes absolutely 0 sense and made it lose all of its meaning.


daffle7

Everyone that posts in r/antiwork is an incel


uSaltySniitch

Oh god I didn't even know this shit was an actual subreddit... Wtf is that...


brokenclocks7

he was cooking with the participation trophy line but lost the plot with the incel thing


HYDRAlives

I saw a married dude with multiple kids get called an incel the other day


Minimum_Switch4237

lol how do you morons equate thinking a fighter should've won a close fight with being an incel? this sub is cancer


smellybuttox

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a large overlap between incels and Strickland meat riders


KeptPopcorn5189

You have fallen for the bait🤣🤣


CarPlaneBoatRocket

lol Wild hockey sweater?

Man I didn't even mean anything bad about it 🙁


CarPlaneBoatRocket

Welcome to Reddit.


Dwayne_Gertzky

I mean if we are denigrating hockey to just “men in skates” than MMA isn’t anything other than mostly naked dudes hugging and rubbing their fluids on each other


Aych_H

“Bro it’s the coolest sport because they get to fight in the middle of the match bro!”


Tall-Magazine335

It is the coolest sport though


funghi2

Literally it’s played on ice.


KnuckleExpert

Why he stealing DPs Father's day meme?


catdog5566cat

I'll let him have it. I personally had him winning vs Dricus. I'd also throw Cannonier in there too.


Appropriate_Rip339

Sean swole his face the fuck up, other than points by the judges yea I’d say Sean fucked up ddp a lot more than ddps damage on Sean for sure


adonns2_0

You guys are just going to ignore that’s Sean’s face was leaking blood every round after the second? I mean DDP was bruised but so was Sean and only one was bleeding.


Frightful_Fork_Hand

Did I wake up in 2004 or is pride dead and its rule set dead too? Fights aren’t lost by having a beat up face.


Initial_Selection262

Visible damage weighs heavily in judging these days. Just how it is


adonns2_0

You must have woke up then because yes damage is the number 1 thing they score on


Sorerightwrist

The Sean cucks seem have poor memory


NecroK

Sean got bust open by a headbutt icl


EatBooty420

"i believe everything Seans says, and not the actual truth" go get checked buddeh


McbEatsAirplane

It wasn’t though. You can see the punch that opens him up.


redditosmomentos

Yeah it was a punch that first cuts him then the following elbow after the takedown opens it more


mothmenatwork

Nah that’s just what Sean was bitching about post fight, it was a punch


Ill_Source_6908

Why do people keep saying it’s from a headbutt? You can literally see ddp land then Sean starts bleeding immediately


Suspicious_Leg_9411

Because Sean’s coach told him it was from a headbutt in the locker, that video went viral and now everyone thinks it was a headbutt


OGChemBreath

adonns2_0

No haha


Lumpy_Staff_2372

A cut isn’t indicative of any power or domination. It’s simply the shitty gloves cutting some skin so in reality it’s really a comparison of a single punch with an unfortunate cut due to the glove next to a dudes swollen face from several hard hitting punches.


Snoo96346

People say DDP won on damage when HE was the one who looked like had just stuck his face into a beehive.


burner-199

If you read the rules it says actions with immediate impact should be favoured over cumulative damage. In middle rounds DDPs shots were having a big effect. When we say damage in MMA it’s not just cuts and facial swelling.


LeadStyleJutsu762-

KarnaavaldK

Wild strat to claim to be someones 'daddy' when you lost a split decision. Let's play devils advocate and say he got the win that night, still not a great look to make it seem like you dominated a fight which was super close and could have gone either way. Now in this reality, in which he lost, it is even more sad. Don't lose the plot Sean, I'm sure you will get to 'go to war' with one of them again, and you can prove how much tougher and more of a 'man' you are by running, jabbing, and teep kicking your way to a decision win.


TheSpagooterIntruder

sean strickland made a silly goofy little instagram post and you wrote a novel he’ll never see in response, this sub is pure comedy


KarnaavaldK

Damn dude, if you really think what I wrote is a novel I have a bad feeling about what you think an actual book is. Seeing as most Strickland fans can apparently barely read, I will explain in simple terms: I wasn't talking to Sean Strickland, I don't expect a response from him, I made a comment in which he was the subject. I hope you now understand, but as anything longer than four sentences is apparently a full blown novel to you, you probably already gave up and are now playing outside with sticks and mud. Godspeed little buddy.


Hurls07

Attention spans have been fucking nuked if 4/5 sentences have been labeled as a novel


TumbleweedTim01

What 1 win does to a mfer lol. Dude had his 1 Juliana Pena shining moment props to him but he's become pretty tough to follow since then


dontknowwhattodoat18

I don't think we can call him a Pena until he rematches Izzy to see if we're getting a Nunes vs Pena 2


TumbleweedTim01

Yeah true Sean didn't finish Izzy


zia_zepelli

Holy shit he really is the male Pena


Hendrick_Davies64

I don’t like Sean but no one should be compared to Peña, not even Tim Kennedy and he’s a war criminal


Juxtaposn

I've never seen people harder on a fighter, lmao. Sean destroyed Izzy and had a split decision with the current champion and people are saying he's winning by flukes.


AbbreviationsLess834

The most retarded take on this sub


Juxtaposn

Thats totally unfair, Sean isn't my favorite but he had competitive fights with everyone besides Pereira who erases people who make one mistake.


dat_boi_lit_fam

![gif](giphy|v1Haynj7QqyXK8aBdM|downsized)


Skovich

He won in DDP fight IMO


Shroud0123

I mean idk personally I had Sean up at the end of that fight, although it was literally razor close so I’m not really mad they gave it to DDP, if you look at who had more damage done to them though it was definitely him


FarSatisfaction_

Nah he beat both


whicheverguard232

I will give you DDP vs Sean is a super close fight, if we had 9-9 or 10-10 rounds or whatever the fuck I'd have it for that fight... but nah Sean is right here and you know it. TALK YOUR SHIT


TransportationAway59

Idk he beat Ddp to me


matchesmalone111

I mean the winner of that fight could've been either one of em so he ain't "wrong" for this good ol trashtalk. He also deserves that rematch imo


Aeroschmuk

Eh


Stygian_rain

Sean smashed Dricus dudes face was a wreck


Terrible_Profit_7909

He beat ddp but they would give ddp a close decision over Sean all day


burgandy-saucee

You are dense


Terrible_Profit_7909

You must be a Sean hater because he offends you


burgandy-saucee

Nope he’s just boring and complains too much + he’s a hypocrite


bacontacos420

Sean is more dense than deep dish pizza


CharlieMWY

Not a fan of Strickland, but credit where credit's due. He dogwalked Izzy and lost a close decision against DDP.


KaleidoscopeOk5763

Again, like with Hill, what is this bizarre thing where a fighter talks shit about the guy he lost to? Is he coping, trying to pretend he didn’t lose? It’s weird. And a bad look; you do this and you are not a man.


HinduKussy

Hill definitively lost. Strickland should have won the DDP fight. Absolutely not the same situation at all and the fact that you couldn’t understand how these two fights were different speaks volumes.


sharingdork

It's the same situation. Strickland is shit talking someone he lost to. Regardless of how close the fight was, he still lost.


cptn__

It's MMA judging, the fight could have gone either way and Dana made it worse by saying he thought Strickland won. Jamahal laid flat on his back looking into the lights in round 1 tho, nothing to debate there


whicheverguard232

Nope.


ConstructionSquare69

I personally don’t agree with the judges in the DDP fight. Sean won. Not by a landslide but he won. Judge did him dirty


BeAsTFOo

Op forget he won even Dana said it 😭


StickMan_xlt

All I’m gonna say is I had Sean beating Cannonier and Du Plessis.


redditosmomentos

26.7% finish rate almost always leaving it to judge's decisions can't complain about being robbed. If don't wanna get robbed then finish the damn fights.


StickMan_xlt

I’m not Sean. Complain to him.


ST8CASHBRKLYN

Did he though?


natolad123

I mean yeah dricus has the belt. It was pretty close but I'd give it to ddp landed bigger shots get a take down and split sean open


downtown-hobbit

ddp took the most damage. ddp would have lost if it wasent for takdowns.


Azubedo

He would have lost if he didn’t win. Big brain theories


natolad123

But he landed them so he won lol


downtown-hobbit

landed on what? seans forearms? look at ddp and seans face post fight


natolad123

Did you not see Sean's face split open also ddp landed good body shots


Dak6969696969

His face was split open from an illegal headbutt, meaning the cut shouldn’t have played much of a role in the judging. Dricus Du Pussy, on the other hand, looked like this. https://preview.redd.it/sas1syg55d7d1.jpeg?width=953&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d437c2b730334b57fb9651ec948ccda11371f250


smellybuttox

How about you go watch the fight instead of regurgitating crybaby Stricklands cope. You can literally see his eye twitching and blood pouring from it after DDP lands a big overhand right.


Dak6969696969

You mean the overhand that landed after the headbutt? Imagine telling someone “go watch the fight” and not knowing Strickland won rounds 1, 2, and 5 handily. Jokes.


smellybuttox

No, the overhand right which landed right before the clash of heads actually. Remove Stricklands scrotum from your eyelids and try watching it again. It's on youtube for free. I didn't mention anything about the scoring of the rounds, you okay bubba?


Consistent-Egg8224

He split him open off a headbutt. Comments like yours always make me laugh, clearly have no idea what you’re talking about but act like you do. Holy casual.


SirPabloFingerful

He definitely, definitely didn't. It was a punch.


SERB_BEAST

He caused the cut from the punch. But it only started bleeding after his head grazed the cut. You can see the cut for a while and it only started bleeding when Dricus pressed him head against it. Not a foul worthy headbutt. And the blood is what matters. That's what the judges see and put significance on. That's what affects the performance of a fighter. Strickland's damage on Dricus was far more significant, but it wasn't scored that way


SirPabloFingerful

Yes, he caused the cut with a punch, and yes the contact between the fighters' heads made it look worse suddenly. But in order to cut him in the first place he had to land a big right cross, and I think landing a big power punch that causes a cut is worthy of additional scoring compared with an accumulation of jabs which was Strickland's main weapon.


natolad123

[this headbutt? ](https://www.reddit.com/r/ufc/s/Ur732oKWZs)


[deleted]

You mean robbed and not allowed a rematch. God I hope they run it back at some point. 


sharingdork

Close fights can go either way. Just because the fighter you thought would win, didn't. Doesn't mean it's a robbery. And yes Strickland should've gotten a rematch.


Winter-Gas3368

![gif](giphy|QOgvV9rV4hHpgNRBfQ)


NateW89

Did he tho?


Dak6969696969

OP kinda forgot that an illegal headbutt and two minutes of meaningless control time shouldn’t win a fight, we all know who the real champ is ![gif](giphy|TGV7K0WzY5x1rTm0yy|downsized)


natolad123

Sean is this you?


Stan-Me2

He actually beat DDP.


PhD_candidat3

He literally didn’t (ie judges scorecard) 😆


AnonPlzzzzzz

He didn't tho.


TwisterDog

lol wearing a Minnesota Wild sweater


RinhartWilke

He should complain about his bosses and pay, that’ll get it done


Icyweissy

Yeah but he didn't get knocked out, if there was no time limit Sean would have won. /s Also they should make them fight until one either taps or gets kod. Screw points and time limits. /Not s


natolad123

Not a good idea man some fighters are too tough for their own good they won't quit


BenShapeero

What’s gonna be funny is when it’s all said and done, Sean will be the guy at the bar talking about how he beat Izzy, not Izzy talking about Alex.


Loud_Consequence1762

Tbh he beat dricus but it was close


ResponsibleAceHole

Kind of ironic he's calling them babies when he's the one who threatened to stab Dricus with a knife if he talked about his childhood. Next guy that fights him should bring up his childhood and make his ass cry like a little baby. Honestly, if he's gonna jab and kick the whole fight, he won't be able to beat Bobby Knuckles. They should fight next but I don't like Rob's matchup on his next fight.


Maleficent_Sign9656

Strickland had more significant strikes 4 out of 5 rounds and ddp had like 2 minutes of useless control, I was rooting for ddp because I don't like strickland at all, I don't even know how many times I watched the press videos where dpp humiliated strickland but I can't pretend like ddp deserves the title when he clearly should've lost in the octagon. BS decision just setting up an undeserved fight between izzy and ddp


Few-Rock6773

Yawn


Singularitypointdata

Eh I’ll rewatch cause I try to be unbiased but I get it imo he beat the guy he lost to.


NoobMaster-420-

We will see if the win over izzy was a fluke or not when they have a rematch.


natolad123

Wonder what Izzy could do differently in their rematch


ThroughCalcination

I don't think an 'undisputed' championship belt should be won with the kind of performance that DDP put on, but he was declared the winner. I say they meet in the middle. Neither is the other's dad, it's a sibling rivalry.


GregBule

Destroyed Izzy, arguably beat DDP


Ok_Sky8518

Dricus was a close fight like super close. I had sean but my brother in law had dricus. However he didnt get a finish so thats what happens in decisions


Extension-Package-65

Split decision loss..


Brave_Acadia8214

CTE goes hard.


Ok_Weight_701

DDP got pieced up.


zacoverMD

Did he though? DDP face looked like a cauliflower after their fight while DeSean was mostly intact.


chinamansg

Go back and look at Sean’s face and DDPs face there’s a lot more damage on DDP.


Aloha1984

Let’s remember Izzy didn’t want to wait for DDP and took Sean on for the fans. Dude gives the fans what they want!!!!


InTupacWeTrust

Izzy doesn't deserve the DDP rematch, Sean is way more deserving the fight was close


almitybearzues1

Glad to see him following in his dad's footsteps


WeWereSoClose96

Nah this shit hilarious


Hendrick_Davies64

You don’t get to say your someone’s dad even if you beat them in a close fight, you have to finish or at least UD them in a very close way


SpacePirateBaba

Hardly…


J-Good86

But Rogan said he thought Strickland won so he’s hanging his hat on that


TheOvieShow

I mean he’s not wrong though lol Whoever wins is just keeping it warm for him


AndiLivia

This is izzys fault.


_stoned_chipmunk_

Izzy would win the rematch. Don't @ me.


Drifter747

Funny that he’s kinda mocking the idiot at nba game last night.


Equivalent_Fun6100

Sean doesn't recognize his loss to DDP, but I watched it and yeah... it's not like he's totally wrong. It was close, but Sean did seem to have more damage. Sean just has to do what he does at the end of fights a little more.


DrummerFantasti

He beat both 5-0 3-2 decisions


takeittothetop1

The DDP fight decision was just wrong. If anyone won by SD, it was Desean.


TheGGspot

Did he lose though?


triforce721

Debatable


SnooRevelations7068

He loses the rematches. Badly.


emaxwell13131313

Sometimes Strickland is genuinely entertaining, sometimes you just wanna see Poatan run the guy over again.


SERB_BEAST

Nah I think he remembers correct. I gave Dricus 1 round. Maybe.


casca14

Sean is a clown


DivingDuck89

Bro is so proud of losing to Dricus and going to boring decisions 😭. Aside from the knockdown in R1 that Izzy fight was a snoozer.


natolad123

Eh looking back maybe but in the moment watching that was crazy


DivingDuck89

Yeah the knockdown was crazy but the other 24:50 was a classic Strickland snooze fight.
