Sean Strickland (born February 27, 1991) is an American mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he is the current UFC Middleweight Champion. A professional competitor since 2008, he is the former King of the Cage Middleweight Champion. As of November 14, 2023, he is #8 in the UFC men's pound-for-pound rankings.
Sean Strickland grew up in Corona, California, in a household with a physically and mentally abusive father.
During Strickland’s early childhood, he attacked his father with a guitar in an attempt to defend his mother. Strickland fled from his house and contacted his local law enforcement leading to his father being briefly arrested. However, the next day his father was released from jail as his mother paid for his bond.
Later in Strickland’s adolescence, he developed a close relationship with his grandfather who had ideologically neo-Nazi views. He adopted his grandfather’s views, which were further reinforced through his viewing of the film American History X. Strickland stated regarding the characters in the film, “I loved the life they lived, just dirty, white trash, to have respect, you know? When I was a kid, that was somebody I would hero-worship, that ideology.”
Strickland recalled that he was expelled from school in the ninth grade for perpetrating a hate crime, after which his mother decided to take him to an MMA gym. He met people of different races whilst training who helped him and this motivated him to abandon the ideology. Strickland stated, “Then I started training and the moment I started training I was like, fuck man, I don’t hate anybody. Everyone’s cool. Then a lot of people who helped me out in my life, they weren’t white.”
At the age of 18, Strickland had another violent altercation with his father again resulting in police involvement however no charges were pressed. Following this event, Strickland and his mother moved out of his father’s house.
Strickland made his professional debut in 2008 for the King of the Cage promotion and compiled an undefeated record of 9-0 before facing Josh Bryant in a fight for the King of the Cage Middleweight Championship at KOTC: Unification on December 9, 2012. Strickland won via split decision, and then successfully defended his title three times before being signed by the UFC. - Sport
Strickland went from one of the most mocked fighters to the best in the division
he was?
@@rikgales123The I-Carly Strickland meme era, yeah he was mocked.
Yeah he got robbed in the Jared cannonier fight too in my opinion
He would’ve had way more respect going into the issy fight say the judges gave it to him
He was already one of the best ...UFC fans are not trust worthy ...Most of clowns switch sides oftwn when a fighter wins or looses
This short is pretty much a full blown movie and i’m all here for it!
Hahah yeah I've never seen a 90 minute film considered a "short film" the original Toy Story is only 81 minutes 🤣🤣
I was surprised to see the sheer length of the damn thing lol
This ”short”?
💯Share this with as many MMA fans that we know
dude the part with Keith Peterson got me rolling back in tears I forgot what happened to him again? some illegal shit all I remember
“I feel I get better losing.” God, I love this guy. So much heart!
Sean has officially reached national treasure status. Protect this man at all cost.
No thank you he's a tool
Protect Sean all 2024!!
Sean is the fucking embodiment of what an American man should be. He can say and do dumb shit but at the end of the day he will be the guy that comes to the aid of those who mock him n after he rescued you, he’ll tell you how stupid you are for needing saving lol but i personally relate with him so much. We need more men like him to remind everyone who TF we are and just because there are some sellouts trying to wreck Shit right now doesn’t mean we’re just gonna give it up and let china or Iran or the woke ass democrats communists come here make us feel guilty for not being nice to psychos cutting off their dicks and not accepting perversion in our society. So if you’re one of the pussy ass dude that can’t change your tire n you let dudes bang your wife you need to man the hell up n stop letting the world take everything from us
I have read this exact quote so many times over. Be original.
"One day that guy could be a champion"
Sean made "maybe one day" happen!
Sweet editing by the way mate, enjoyed this 👍🏻
I actually said “He’ll never be champion” when Alex knocked him out. I was wrong
🤪👌Sean Strickland.
The truth about the saying Pressure creates diamonds.
The world champion, who the fans know that the ex champion izzy doesn't stamp his passport or sign his checks.
What a great fall from the artificial created world 😢 broke the nail 😢and lost the gift of the gab 😂.
All Hail Sean Strickland UFC CHAMPION 🎉
@@-tzadakim-7805honestly it was hard to see then. It reminded me of Bisping tbh
Robbie Lawler dying at Sean going at Izzy in the presser is always hilarious.
I think most people who never followed Sean don't realize he does have solid wrestling and Jiu-jitsu. Not the best, but he's not limited to boxing. He has tools if he needs them.
FACTS. he just LOVES to throw hands.
Yeah I wasn’t aware of how solid it was until watching this
Yep when he beat Brendan Allen he had some great takedown work. He’s a well rounded fighter
thanks captain obvious
@@markm5772 oh wow what a great comment....🙄
This was so dope! Fuck yes, Strickland put the dogbender into retirement and Ive never been happier to see someone win a championship. 👊👊
Hahahahahahah 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the fuckint dog bender hhahahahahah
Your wack.
I love dogs but apparently I don’t like them as much as Izzy does. That shit is weird. Out of all the champs in the UFC Izzy was my least favorite by far.
Me too😂😂
Strickland a great champion
The GOAT releasing a full-length film and calling it a short film. Love it 😂❤
Man your films are so much better than the official UFC promos! Glad you are back at it. You also cut the scene for Poatan so well, felt like the endboss of a videogame.
O’malley or Poatan would be epic.
Bruh, an hour an a half. Your the fuckin goat. No one, and i mean no one does this shit better.
We all have a little Sean Strickland in us..
That's what she said
No, no we don’t. He’s a world champ. He’s a very damaged man, in that sense, we can share in that.
Sean really said no man who beats off to cartoons is going to beat him and he was right
Crazy how much this man fights and it doesn't matter win or lose he will keep fighting.
EFC the greatest MMA docu/highlight maker of our times! Thank you for your work, I look for new content every week 💪🏽🤙🏽
Sean Strickland is BY FAR my favorite fighter of all time. I dont even know why lol i watch this shit every day for decades, but Sean is just fucking special lol.
SEAN STRICKLAND FOR PRESIDENT
Tout les jours🤔
@typrall9028 tout les speak F English here.
I remember when I was jn 6th grade and we took a school trip to Marseilles from Estonia, and we got lost with my small group.
EVERYONE WE ASKED FOR DIRECTIONS PRETENDED NOT TO SPEAK ENGLISH and you could tell they were just doing it on purpose.
I was a kid in 6th grade!
Let's just say I don't appreciate people who know english and pretend not to or refuse to speak it.
Back in early 2000s they told us in Estonia that French was the new English in the European Union! So I took 6 years of it AND HATED IT.
I speak Estonian, English and Russian. Im all good off of French.
That's Sean Strickland for you. We all know there's better, more talented and more ferocious fighters then Strickland but even with all that in your mind, you still can't help but ROOT FOR THE DAMN GUY 😂
ur intro and outro always hits the different, I almost come back for those
"Outro" 😂like it
Lol the way his tongue flew out when he took that shot from Usman 😂
Wild to think Usman did that to a young Strickland and a Strickland now did what he did to Izzy.
The Keith Peterson "cigarettes and booze" meme in the middle of the documentary was super necessary.
Bro, thanks for collecting all these Sean Strickland social media posts and splicing them according the timeline. The background comic-relief music was a nice touch. It gave us a side of his personality different than that he showed through the podcast run he had recently. I thought I couldn't watch this in one go but I find myself at the 45th minute pausing to drop a comment and dive back in. Good work.
One thing i noticed about sean when he debuted at middlweight was that he hit REALLY hard but it looks like hes not throwing hard at all, he has really good pop and accuracy
Will for sure watch later when I have time. Thumbs up for the algorithm.
You are the single best MMA content creator. I can't imagine how much time and effort you pour into these videos to share with everyone.
You are the man, thank you and merry early Christmas
That championship fight was one of my favorite moments to witness, ever. Sean deserves everything he has!
Training with Pereira was an amazing choice. Most fighters get frustrated with Izzy’s height and length. With Pereira he gets a nearly identical simulation of Izzy.
Not to mention his ego didn't get in the way of training w someone who recently knocked him out
The timeline of him training with Sean as little off Sean trained with Alex before he fought Abus. Sean was training with Alex to prepare for Abus
Glad this popped up on my feed. This video was incredible. Thanks for the upload, became a big fan of Sean!
The Keith Peterson whiskey and cigarettes killed me 😂
Love the style of your docs, just spectacular footage compiled in such a strategic way that it's like watching a movie of this man's life. Keep making them bro and I'll keep sharing them!
If Sean Strickland is throwing flying knees you know he’s dominating😂😂
I'm obsessed by Sean Strickland, no matter the video, I must see it. he's a killer empath. 🤔
weirdo
@@jessemccann9711 fr I like Sean too but he’s weird😂
What a fantastic comment.
Thank you Sean for being Strickland. Raw and real no BS
This is not a short movie and i'am glad it's not...Sean is the man....lets go
Thank you so much dude , somehow I can’t watch movies these days so things like this make my day
I know he's not done yet, but it was good to see Sean hold the belt at least once. He's definitely paid his dues and will be in the Hall of Fame.
So happy to be early to this one, feels like the release of a movie, ty for the great work EFC
Man took the basics from every martial arts and refined it to almost perfect.
Refined them to nothing: all he does is walk forward and boxes..
Absolute masterpiece EFC🔥
When Strickland bites down on his mouthpiece and just lets the hands go he is one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC
It all started with the Charles Oliveira - Do Bronx video for me.
Every drop since then is nothing short of awesome. You're a great story teller, and you're videos are top tier.
Thanks again EFC, can't wait for the next one.
Sean is the definition of Living Your Best Life Now! No drugs, no booze. Doing the sport he loves. He's an inspiration for those of us who had abusive( verbal, physical) fathers. He has channeled his anger into sport and success and has no self-pity.
Believe me when i say after Sean returned and had a few fights NOBODy thought hed be a champ. Everyone said his style wasnt enough to even get to contention but they (and me too) were dead wrong and im here for it
Right On...
Admitting we were wrong is not common on the Internet or nowadays. Respect.
@@vandl107 thanks buddy, I was wrong about a lot of mma Champs this year especially. But it's cool I love getting surprised like that
God i love the last ten seconds and end of the izzy fight. I can FEEL exactly what seans body language is saying. Thats why people love him. Relatability.
The hero for masculine society that we didn't know we needed. Congratulations 👏.. People misunderstand his sense of humor but he's honestly a good dude. A simple man, that's becoming a good role model for young men. Excellent video 👏.
Elite Fight Club makes legendary fighter profiles, and this is one of the very best so far.
Keep up the good work EFC - your videos are excellent quality and eminently worthy of the heroes you depict.
cant believe I just sat here for an hour and a half and watched this whole doc. Beautiful work brother. its been a while since a fighter doc captivated me in this way. Sean strickland 4L. keep it comin boss
Watching his old fights is a tribute to how much better his defense has gotten . Its beast philly shell 2 its finest mma form
this should have way more likes and views, the work and detail put into it is evident and couldn’t have made it any better then it is. Should be on netflix
Such an awesome movie, masterful depiction of my boy Tarzan. Subscribed!!!
I love Strickland, he is a very passionate man in everything he does, a great patriotic Champion ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am new to Elite Fight Club but I can see that the editing is top notch. A 90 minute movie is a lot of good work. SUBSCRIBED
That 276 press conference is legendary!😂
This was awesome! Izzy wasn’t having an off night. Strickland broke him down mentally and physically
Damn. This is a dope film. Strickland is the definition of peoples champ.
That was great! Loved the soundtrack. Long live Tarzan, King of the jungle.
Lmao I commented the exact same thing without seeing your comment, LONG LIVE THE KING
This was so well made! Thanks for all the hard work you put in, turned out amazing!
Bro. 15min in…this is an _excellent_ documentary! Captures Sean so well with awesome raw footage and interviews.
This should be titled Diary of a Madman lol. Love watching that dude fight.
Sean Strickland is an American 🇺🇸 iconic hero! I fucking love that guy! Those of us that had a hard path in our lives can relate to him and appreciate his absolute honesty.
Great work man! Love the effort you put into this!
Great job piecing this together. Editing on point. Shows such a beautiful evolution of Sean as a fighter and person.
I said it from the start,playin dumm is not being dumm.
Sean is unfiltered and speaks what comes in his head.
Sometimes weird things,but he is honest.
And his fighting gets better, with every bout.
Lets go,champ.
My boys back!!! LETS GOOOOOOO !!!! 💪😎
I can't help but love this guy. The tour of his house was great.
Gotta say you do a great fucking job with these docs, tell these guys stories so well
I’m 20 mins into this and had to stop. This is fkn awesome. Ty for this.
The ending though... Cherry on top of one of THE best UFC stories, on a short list, in their 30 year history. Great job❤
Sean is a national treasure
Best Sean Strickland so far that I've seen. Thank you
Damn.!!! 🙆♂️ You guys put together one of the best, most entertaining and all killer, no filler documentaries I've ever seen...ever.!!! THANKYOU...so satisfying to watch. Not to mention how bad ass Strickland is as a fighter. I hope he rocks Kamzat and everyone else in the division. Absolutely the best documentary showcasing Stricklands rise to become Champion..!!! .....☺👍
I sure hope there are tons of videos like this. Love it
Sean's strike defense is amazing. I think he will defend the title for a long time.

EFC always putting out a masterpiece. Wonderfully edited.

I love everything about this videos thanks for uploading it.
Stellar job putting this film together. Very very well done
your the best at this stuff man! never stop!
I came here to see some great fights and listen to the fighters as they fight. And of course the fights get drowned out by a bunch of music. Great.
someone tell this guy a short film isn't 1 hour and 30 minutes. It's a legit film. good job
"Have you ever been to jail before?!"
Sean - "Umm once or twice.."
Definitely a come up and comeback story for the ages. You da man Sean💪💪💪
Great edit! Massive amount of content worked through, respect.
