Sean is one of the few MMA fighters that really understand how far a good jab can take you.
@@chrism6446and then you woke up
@@chrism6446cmon dude not the sister
@@austinbatton4849dont be diminutive. Youd get your ass kicked anywhere let alone the cage.
Sister on one arm and mother on the other. You're going to need a F*cking army to take them off me
@@chrism6446Why were you fighting someone quote "Much bigger" than you?
You've made it sound like a combat sport fight or am I getting the wrong idea?
Sean looked like a prince back in the day. 😂
People dont like to admit it, because its just hair, but hair makes a WORLD of difference. Im like a 4 bruh I swear if I had a mane id be a 7, I aint mad tho you learn a lot of different things on hard difficulty.
Now he looks like a bloated dad
he totally destroyed his looks. He still has good hair, he just chooses to shave it like an idiot. Probably all in the name of looking more "masculine" smh
Why tf is he shaving
@@FilledWithDeterminationalso abs and shaving your chest hair. But yea youre right
And that jab took him all the way up to UFC middleweight gold. Congrats Sean
His jab and boxing overall are excellent
He who rules with his left rules the world.
Yo why Sean's nipps are HUGE though for no reason
And then gets robbed when he beat the crap out of DDP!! I really think the judges got paid off to cheat because Strickland won that fight!!!
This aged perfectly.
The title fight was his most efficient striking yet. The least strikes he’s thrown in a 5 rounder with the best percentage landed. Perfect pacing
He hit himself more on the walkout and before the bell than Izzy hit him in the whole fight. Guy looked fresh to go again after 25 mins which is nuts to think who he was fighting.
@@dodo19923you gotta give credit to the endless sparring he does. He could probably go for another 5 rounds with Izzy after the fight
@@dodo19923izzy looked confused as fuck most of that fight. like he just couldnt believe what was happening. no showboating, no flashy anything, just confusion. and it was absolutely beautiful. and i dont hate izzy or his flashiness at all, its very entertaining. was just good to see him get challenged the way he did and see a side that hasnt really been seen.
yikers, he took the L
stricklands defense was better than any mma fighter ive ever seen that night, looked like a floyd mayweather out there, absolutely fearless performance
he's actually had a pretty impressive career.
At middleweight he's got a damn good record.
He’s getting flatlined hope your ready
only one loss at MW right? (although I think he beat Jared), Dude is a beast, I can see why people don't like him, but he's a beast.
@@twizzy4116 - difficult to take the opinion seriously of someone who doesn't know how to use contractions that you learn in second grade.
Well he's fighting for a UFC belt for a reason
Bro went from 90s majestic Italian midfielder to 2000s retired Balkan soldiers
Perfectly said 😂😂😂
After watching him dominate Izzy for 4 out of 5 rounds, this was awesome to watch! That performance against Izzy was inspirational!
True i found new inspiration for some reason
Did the same brother. More impressive.
Yes made me think for a couple of hours that maybe won't be such a loser in life but then today happened and I'm back to reality
@@NellyGandhellaSucks to suck. Stop sucking and then it won’t suck. Quick maths, scrub.
whooped by “neo nazi” for 5 rounds lol
Strickland is like the long lost diaz brother.
Not the fastest, not the most technical or the strongest but a real master of distance control and pressure.
I was just thinking this during his W today. Good call guys!
He's quite fast and his timing is excellent, which requires speed
He's much better than the Diaz bros ever were. His striking is way beyond both of them.
Yes but Diaz brothers can get beat up really bad without being koed
@@sinking1902yeah sean actually checks leg kicks and makes adjustments
It took him like 12 fights to get a ranking, if I am not mistaken. Definitely earned his spot in the sport and fortunately he also got this title shot.
This so deserved title shot. It's a fight that the hardcore global fans want to see.
Do us a favour.
I hope he knocks the gay outta adesanya
It helps that MW has like zero fighters outside Whitaker and DuPleis
@@kman9884 Strickland got destroyed by an underweight Pereira, now he's supposed to give Adesanya a good fight?
This title defence is a fucking joke. DuPleis is going to be champion for a long time.
@@sueyourself5413he learned from that loss, you underestimate Strickland
For the record Jack Marshman is an absolute animal with the heart of a Lion. Nothing but respect for that man.
And according to Sean a head made out of steel
Where is he now?
@@chiquita683he had an aneurysm and died last year
No he didn't, he's just retired@@bobbyabrahm3506
@@bobbyabrahm3506 no he didnt
There is something about this guy that I have really grown to love. Use to think he was an ass. But no, he is just a damaged man navigating his life the most honest way he has found. Honestly, yeah, he is a strange dude, doesn't have much of a filter, but he is an inspiration, and I respect that hell out of him.
He's still an assh*le. Albeit an interesting one.
Yup sad world we live in a way...this man is not a hero but in a way he is because he achieved fame and didn't compromise himself and is spreading a message to others to not and to be a man.
I think I'm beginning to feel the same after watching this video, and also hearing about him crying and getting vulnerable on the Theo von podcast. Respect to Sean.
He is anything but a hero, just a violent entertainer, your heroes should be teachers, charity participators, good relatives who are role models, righteous men in history...etc not sean Strickland, have some dignity
Fighting is the only thing that keeps him alive. Very hard for a person like him to not go down as one of the baddest motherfucker. He is like eminem of mma
Bros... i'm crying
Our boy,he actually did it
Are you REALLY crying?
@@mattchagnon5620i'm rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off
@@cvspvr Are you REALLY lmaoing?
@@kaveman_4242 i'm roflmaoing. i'm dying. please send help
Fun fact: if you think Sean Strickland won that close decision against Cannonier then he and Adesanya both only have 1 loss in MW and both to Alex Pereira
I thought Sean beat Jared. He got cleared to fight less than a month after the fight too so he obviously didn't take much damage
cope
@@anon21341 your name matches the gynogenderbender fanboyism at least
He def lost to luke barnatt
They both have wins at light heavyweight too.
so annoying when I constantly see casuals call him a boring fighter. Dude fought Jared and Imavov in less than a month. Beast
i think its warranted. I like watching him fight, but his strikes selection make his fights monotonous.
did you see his fight vs perrira? lol boring af until he got knocked out
@@jackl7778that fight went on for 2 minutes before the KO, you have the attention span of a child if you got bored in 2 minutes
Still boring the trailer park boy
Because his strikes look the same in all fights.
and now he's the middle weight champ. insane turn of events.
He won against adesanya?
@@harvestingseason2725he didn’t just win. He utterly destroyed Adesanya. Knocked him down in the first, proceeded to walk him down like the fucking terminator for the rest of the fight landing solid shots all the way through and blocking EVERY SINGLE kick Izzy threw. He didn’t even take damage. Mind blowing showing against him
The dude just outclassed Adasanya, damn!!
No one expect this
Never forget the Adesanya has mouth-to-mouth fed/kissed his dog on social media, and he follows/followed multiple beastiality posting accounts
Strickland looking like Jaime Lannister back when he was a Welterweight! Dude was literally Prince Charming from Shrek. 🤴
Say what you want about his personality, but this man is an absolute beast in that cage. No fear. Respect.
Wish he had skill. Couldn't even beat Usman, I don't expect much against Izzy
@@chiquita683he’s got good boxing and his footwork has improved so to say he doesn’t have skill is outrageous. But yes izzy still handles him without much trouble
@@chiquita683couldent even beat one of the best welterweights of all time who’s arguably the best wrestler of all time in the ufc . Crazy sentance
@TheAnimefool does he have any ppv wins? 😅 he is not good compared to top 5 fighters. He was timid against poatan
@@chiquita683 LMFAO
The constant pressure he uses against his last two was insane.
Including adesanya.
😂 exactly he fixed his problems when he trained wit alex.
@@sukmynut Definitely learned how to check leg kicks with Alex. That proved extremely important against Izzy.
I tell you what this dude has really grown on me. His grittiness, mixed with just being unapologetically himself. How can you not like this dude
This was a bloody quality video man.
Is that good
@@dudebrodude4388yes
Is it as good as my comment?
His ability to deliver his honest thoughts in a funny and intelligent way made me a fan. AND that sick jab, I think most of the time it makes a louder sound when it impacts faces than any other jab. Excellent video, thanks!
i agree with you, but intelligent is certainly not the word i would use haha
I don't think you understand the meaning the meaning of intelligent
@@p.o.p5570 I don't think you've actually listened to anything but click bait,
@@sleeperawake9818 okay let's pretend I didn't listen, could you be ever so gracious and give me a couple of examples of intelligent things he said?
@@p.o.p5570, intelligent people proofread their yt comments before sending...
He conserves his energy very well. No flashy movements everything has a purpose. Good fighter! Awesome video thank you sir!
He’s a class act, love this dude. So glad he’s a champ
The toyota prius of striking
Pls explain lol
@@Imasheep999 nothing fancy and reliable
@@Imasheep999 toyota priuses are also efficient but that aint winning you any belts
@@Cp_9900 lol nice
@@Cp_9900It might at middleweight 😂
he reminds me of Zinedine Zidane and Luka Doncic, he looks so slow, but somehow it works. it's an optical illusion, like a masterful dancer who appears to be unaffected by gravity.
Like Nate
His style reminds me so much of nick Diaz it’s nuts
@@MichiganJFrog. him too of course
he has good footwork that's why he doesn't gas out
Ive never ever thought that i would hear Sean Strickland compared to Zinedine Zidane😂😂😂
One of the most underrated jabs in the UFC. Best defense by far with that slightly modified Philly shell. Very underrated
Best defense and one of the best boxing in MMA
parrot.
Funny I’m watching this now and Strickland just steam rolled thru Adesanya last night. Kept that exact same energy whole way thru it all. Guy is a true and real gladiator.
izzy a poser, strickland is actually him
@@ethanwasme4307 izzy is definitely not a poser and just lost to the better man, yall need to put more respect on these fighters
Never said anything negative about Adesanya The guys career and accomplishments speak for themselves. Strickland stuck to the game plan. Hurt him early and never let off the gas.
He looked like different person lol
Bro went from looking like a handsome jock to lookin like a neo nazi 😂
How come I did not know he had long hair looking handsome, and how come I didn't know he fought Ponzi?
Cause you're a post Conor Dustin casual UFC fan😊
You forgot to say no homo
@@flyingmonke you said casual, you are my hero
@@flyingmonkeonly casuals call others casual, no one even knew Strickland until he moved to middleweight even the hardcores, he just wasn’t that good until after the us man loss
@@flyingmonkego lose you’re virginity
Its crazy how little credit sean got for how strong he still was coming back after that accident. Ik it wasnt as bad of an injury but it definitely reminds me a little of the vinnie pazienza story and every person in the country knew about that when it happened even ppl who didnt watch boxing.
Crazy that Imanov and Magomadov had more success than Izzy had against Strickland, absolute masterclass in defence
Izzy had no success against Sean at all
@@Dantes230how did u kno
Ever since Sean's first UFC fight he has always, always thanked the fan's...his style makes you want to see him fight or look forward to seeing the press conference...either way he's a fan of the fan's big time, LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM HE'S EXCITING TO WATCH FIGHT....
HELEN YEE GETS THE BEST OUT OF SEAN'S INTERVIEWS...
I don't think "Putting more pop" in his punches is the issue, some stances just don't allow you to put everything you got into your shots. Career wise, at only the age of 32, he's had a damn impressive career up to this point.
Who's here after he became champion.
Now hes the champ
His body went from sage northcutt to Tyson fury
I respect fighter who want to be active, Sean is a perfect example of this even though he has a few losses we see him still active in the octagon
HE FUCKING DID AND NEWWW
Your video's are gold. Thanks for this amazing upload!
My money's on Sean Strickland. Especially at these ridiculous odds. He's gonna shock the world!
If he brings striking with mix of wrestling for first 3 round, he's got huge chance of winning.... He just needs to use his wrestling.. I hope strickland will fight smart because izzy is a glorified counter sticker and strickland striking favors him huge...
People lose money everyday...Don't feel too bad about it.
@@drugbustin lol i seriously think he'll pull it off. His coach Eric Nicksick said in a recent interview with James Lynch that their gameplan is to do whatever it takes to win unlike against Alex Pereira. They plan to use wrestling & grappling along with weaponizing his cardio & pressure. Folks forget that he's a very good black belt grappler & that Israel Adesanya doesn't have a good ground game at all. Most fighters have foolishly chosen not to test him there & when they have it worked well against him..
@@nuraimann go ahead & make the arrangements ahead of time for your entry into the witness protection program when Sean gits er dun. This is WWE/MMA where anything can & will happen, especially when you least expect it to..
No, he’s not
I just think he is 100% genuine and has a comedic way of talking and likes making people either laugh or just go WTF, he knows, but its just his natural character.
I think he is hilariously honest.
Sean has the mentality & toughness that could've made him a Navy SEAL.🇺🇸
Super resilient
What, and go fight wars for arseholes with agebdas who wouldn't send their own kids to fight in those wars, and against innocent civilians? You think he stopped at a lower achievement to become what he is today? In your world only, my friend, in your world only
Thank god he went with a career that doesn’t kill third world civilians, google operation condor and operation mockingbird . The usa r*ped my continent and infiltrated the media. Fuck the flag
He might have been a decent-ish boxer, actually. Certainly knows the value of a stiff jab, unlike 95% of MMA guys.
He says that he is on equal terms and even defeats pro boxers, which is not difficult to believe after the fight with Adesanya
@@-Ice_Cold- - Yeah, I could see him giving some journeymen boxers a hard time. He's just a hell of a lot better boxer than most all MMA guys -- and he consistently manages to turn MMA fights into boxing matches; that's quite a skill also.
@@cacogenicist He is def one of the best boxers in MMA
correction: uriah hall didn’t actually win TUF he lost in the final to Gastelum, quality video nonetheless Liam brother
I believe Strickland got robbed against cannonier. It was a close fight but cannonier only got the nod because of the damage on Strickland's face. Cannonier's face was all beat up and damaged but it was camouflaged because of his darker complexion. A bloody nose should not be counted as damage. Noses can bleed from a light tap. Sean outstruck him in that fight.😮
I had strickland walking foward more plus he implemented grappling. When the striking is that close.......
So glad Sean is the middleweight champ. He's just a real bloke. A true legend.
AND NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Strickland"s defensive stye reminds me of George Foreman minus the power punching.
This is the reason he will get sniped to death with Adesanya. He keeps his hands very low and Izzy gets everyone in time.
Sooo that didn’t happen
@@petrosbabinn1695 Looks like it was the other way round tho today.
@@AWY-LO not gonna lie my mine was blown.
Bro why was Sean Strickland so dam handsome when he was young, the current Strickland looks like a major downgrade ( aesthetically speaking
peds
He became a Republican
It's called facial fat. If he cut down to 170 again he'd look like that but older and buzzed hair. Some people store more fat in their face than others
@@ernestoperfekto4055you think middleweights resident pillow puncher is on peds?
@@flyingmonkehis not republican, he talks about it
Cool recap, his evolution and grit was super impressive
We live in the best timeline!
I cant express enough how great this video is. Ive watched alk his fights from the beginning so i know all this info but others dont. What a amazing video bout Sean thank you so much
I don't think I've ever related to any fighter as much as I relate to Sean Strickland.
The neo Nazi past or the sociopath shit?
@@Fukuro14 both
This is even crazier after Izzy
Look at him now
Sean is actually a really good fighter.
Say what you want about the man, he’s a fighter.
Thank you. This is a great video. Gave us more insight on who sean strickland is. So many touching moments. The losses. Yhe last fight of contract. The evolution. The motorcycle crash and doctors telling him he cant reach his lifelong goal and dream. Im a fan now ty
Countless times did the UFC try to throw Strickland under the bus. The icing on the cake was when they fed him Magomedov. Had Sean lost that fight, he wouldn't have had a title shot for probably another 2-3 years. He comes in as a massive underdog, and dismantles the champ. If you don't see how fucking LEGENDARY that is, I don't know what to tell you.
I don't think people are giving Strickland the chance he deserves, he's the only patient fighter who understands winning on points Izzy has fought during his championship run. He has it in him to fight Izzy the way Gastleum did if needed, but also to fight him like Rob in the second fight, except unlike Gastleum he isn't dumb and has fantastic cardio and unlike Rob in the second fight he won't be scared to throw a right hand
I would've liked to seen gastelum rematch at some stage, couple times he had Izzy but didn't capitalise.
The dude who just kept taking shots without going down is actually really impressive.
I've followed Strickland for a long time.
This is the best short history fight doc for him that I've seen.
Well done, got a sub...
HE IS THE WORLD MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION NOW!!! AND NEWWWW
Congrats to the new undisputed champion Sean
08:34 "Back at middleweight Sean demonstrated his ability to keep enemies on the end of his punches, and his chin at the end of the enemies punches."
Amazing video Liam, really well put together, great voice too!!!
And the NEW Champion of the world Sean Strickland… LOVE IT!!!
damn went from a heartthrob to a war veteran lol
strickland teached adesanya some high quality boxing
Taught* past tense of teach
One of the best videos I've ever watched
He just dominated Izzy!!
Sean's secret weapon is that straight job that leaves a ton of smoke behind.
He did it boys.
Damn Sean looking like a model American man even more than Luke Rockhold in 2015
Brother MMA did a good job at showing Sean. Thank you for showing Sean taking shots.
16:33 @MartialLiam thanks for the upload. I'm a new @strickland fan so loved the montage 👊✨️🤙
From unranked straight to champion! And worths it a million times.
Nice seeing Sean getting a title shot. Very much deserved….it’s just such a tall order against Izzy. It’s either a Matt Serra/GSP fluke upset moment or utter destruction by Izzy.
Sean’s weird style might fuck with Izzy
@@TheAnimefool I doubt it man…very super basic stuff for Izzy to deal with….
@@TheAnimefoolit might. The only issue is Izzy's distance control is unreal. Everybody thinks they have a chance till they get in there and they can't hit him
@kevinm9 It won't his style is incredibly simple
well Strickland beat Izzy lol
Strickland is a rare treasure of a human being
This video needs an update
Wasn't expecting such a banger of a fight good shit
If Strickland is heavy on the body, trade kicks for punches in the chest until Adesanya is shut off then he hutns the head, he legit have a chance
I want him to win, but i doubt he will win that fight, at least he got his title shot.
nah
Great video to show off his career! Sean had an unlikely route to the title for sure.
The way he keeps the blank face and hovers at an annoying distance its just a cool style, making sure to reset every time without losing composure.
He was handsome as a mf
Strickland is a beast, which just goes to show how crazy talented Pereia is.
Undisputed Middleweight Champion of The World Sean Strickland!!!
I wish fans had watched this before disrespecting Sean striking game
This video is really put together well. I’m gonna be sending it to haters.
Very under rated i had no idea he fought all these ppl
And now he's a champion.
brooo seans champ now
Here we are after his title win!! Let’s go Sean!!!
damn im 9 months out from a bad car accident that made me have knee and femur surgery, over the past 9 months without even seekign out the stories i come across ppl like this who have had insane knee surgries and came back. makes me super hopeful
3:15 I cant get over how incredibly handsome Sean looks here. Almost unrecognizable 😂
A little less masculine with a gay Trudeau hair do.
It's that disney prince hair and the welterweight cut
God I love this dude
He went from looking like a model to Tyson Fury's 5th brother 😅
Bro actually looked good with hair. But it's hard to picture his younger self with this personality 😅
Noticed in the video that he actually posseses some good body work. Would love to see him focus on that.
Sean is pretty eloquent for someone nicknamed Tarzan
