Had to edit out A LOT of violent details. Sean gets pretty dark, incredible interview.
"This Past Weekend #476", around 90 minutes.
As someone who experienced violence in the home, DDP went too far in making fun of trauma to a kid. It's scars a human to the core of their DNA.
I got to respect Theo in how he handled the pain Shawn experienced.
Dricus made him cry 🤣
Song plz
@@Meandme710bro wdym he brings his childhood trauma into this ofc it made him sad it would do the same thing to everyone why are you laughing?
@@justsayin3600but it's fine for him to say whatever he wants? If you can't take the heat don't give it
"We dont have to talk man I can just sit here with ya for a minute" Theo a real one
What else he suppose to do ? Lol
@@FormanSosaas the host he could keep asking questions. He was comforting sean saying it’s all good to have your moment there’s no pressure
@dexdoesit I agree with ya Dex. Treated him as a fellow hurting/healing brother, not just a guest on his show..
@@dexdoesitReal.......
Y'all are so obsessed with this interview, give it a break
Theo was crying too. What a bro he is. I’m sure they’ll be good friends after this.
I saw him wipe his cheek just now but it didn’t look like a tear wipe. Did he really cry with him in the actual longer video? Or was your comment based on this video? I’m the same way and would totally cry with someone if the mood was right so I ask genuinely and not comedically
@@WorkerBeesUniteyeah actually he was tearing up in the video when Sean starting getting into it. Before Sean even started crying
Hey guys, therapy works. It helps a lot. Just be sure to find a therapist you get along with. It’s kinda like dating. You have to see if their personality and style work for you.
Shit man I almost cried. It takes a lot of trauma to make a dude that strong break down it's sad as hell to see.
@@WorkerBeesUniteyeah in the longer video you can see him crying with sean, theo is a solid dude
Theo putting the comedy and jokes aside and being a really good friend in that moment
Yeah and u gotta love the music they put in the background of these shorts for some reason
When he’s not being a comedian, Theo is actually a pretty solid human being.
First time I saw saun cry
As a man who grew up in a very abusive environment, I wish I'd had someone like theo to talk to. Fuck, man.
Sorry, brother. Good luck to you!
@@Mike-es2yg thanks, friend. Good luck to you too.
For what it's worth, I'd have a beer and a talk with ya. Hopefully it made u a stronger person and ur all good brother! Keep strong
We are here for you buddy we’ve all been through rough shit
@@dartagnan1954 thanks buddy, and thanks to everyone. I'm OK. Took me a while to be OK, but I'm OK now. I'm happy and quiet in my soul, and I don't seek trouble. Life is good now. I've got a cat and a dog and good neighbours and that's all I've ever really wanted, if I'm honest.
Theo a good dude for real
Not surprised tbh, always the guy that cracks jokes who is the most emotionally intelligent- at least from my experience
Theo is great.
@felixjackson6189 For sure. Comedy and a sense of humor stem from emotional turmoil. Comedians most of the time joke about their own experiences as a sort of therapy. Theo von has talked about his dad being extremely old. Like 70 when he was in high school and how he hated him for it, then his dad died and he felt empty.
@@zacharyjoyce3938Great Guy For Sure!!!!!!!💯💯🤜🏼🤛🏼❤❤❤
Theo is*
Too bad people's grammar went south instead of north , nam saying ?
Demons are real, every situation is different but man I hope Strickland one day finds peace
"Demons" lol you men are such weirdos for being scared of emotions
Demons are real? What are you on about? Loser.
He needs inner healing big time
as stated by plato and apulieus
God bless you ❤️✝️
Grabs the whiskey, puts it down... Sits with the pain. What a fucking savage.
It’s an energy drink, he actually doesn’t drink
Apple juice Im sure. Producers just want the image of alcohol so they can sway people into their poisens they create
Nah it was an energy drink @@ML-ks2lj
never do this. not gonna work
@@Drenniswhat do you mean?
Damn dude seeing one of the toughest guys in the world be vulnerable is humbling. God bless Sean Strickland!
It shows real, deep, inner strength- especially from Sean to open up so publically. DDP's taunts were below the belt and going too far down a very personal path
Naw, don’t take credit from Sean. He did this, not god. He made it out
We're all only human. We all have emotions.
@@rebeccakenworthy7126let’s not act like Sean has said just as bad and personal things. That’s one of his main personas is he says out of pocket stuff.
@@feudalocean8428 I can't recall him getting THAT personal, to be fair
You can literally see him trying to drink water to FORCE his fuckign feelings down
Haha man you ain't kidding. When trying to swallow a really hard pill, water helps lol

@beavisabutthead dude you are libarachy gay
Gay, made love to his dad, gay
I didn't even know about Sean Strickland a few weeks ago and now I feel like this dude represents a whole group of us in the United States. He is a champion
Humans naturally look for a person to get examples from
Despite how violent his mind is it’s beautiful to see how he finds comfort in his mom holding her legs. Real.
He's 10 times the man his father ever was.
No doubt about that. Sean is the fuckin’ man
Just 10? When that “dad” is in the f-ing negatives, not even a man but a b-tch, then you cant even compare what level Strickland is. Nothing against what you meant in your comment, just needs to be said though
I mean maybe. We have no idea what he’s like behind closed doors. Usually it’s like father like son and you learn everything from who raised you. But hopefully he broke the cycle instead
Only 10?🫡
Still a bully
This didn't break him. It opened him up
His dad broke him in 😂
@@Meandme710 I'll bet every cent I've ever made in my goddamn life that you wouldn't say this anywhere but here. Especially not to his face.
@@Meandme710you hide behind a fake name a fake pic and you post a comment that you think makes you look cool. Oh and you got ratio’d. You’re a tool pal 😂
@@johnhiggs9663zip it up when you're done.
@@redmarine2717ironic bruh
Theo is the friend who makes you feel human for breaking down, his reaction here is wholesome
Everything I hear from Sean just shows me he's a real person, not a stage puppet, but a genuinely down-to-earth dude who is going to tell it like it is.
The more I see this bloke the more I like him. He is as real as it gets.
People like this are the embodiment of G R R Martins philosophy of people “no good person is completely good, no bad person is completely bad”
We all have the ability to be angels and demons. Trauma is a hell of teacher.. some of us learn better from it than others
He sounds like a weak gay.
@@gohabs8918 how is he the embodiment of this philosophy?
@gohabs8918 Idk how thats relevant
@@TennisC6 I'm sure that's a phrase you say dozens of times a day "I don't know"
I'll give you some grace though, try to figure it out. I bet you can!
Strickland is something special, we need to protect this guy with all costs. He is a real one and a fucking Warrior
you have an anime pfp, he would spit in your face and call you a pussy and youre out here riding him
Lol Strickland is a weak man an infection on the world this video just proved it
He's a malicious bigot with zero self realization that he's got his father's same hateful tendencies. dude needs therapy.
Protect him with weapons or what exactly? Let me know.
Exactly. Why do people online speak the same. A phrase turns up and they all use it.
Also, who is we?
Real men understand a real man...
For all you men, i just wanna say your killing it! Keep grindin! And most of all talk to another fellow BROTHER!!! Because i guarentee he needs to talk too!
STAY SANE BROTHERS!
Keep being you brother. Love ya man. All my bro's, and any man that can relate to Real pain.
@@Survivallessons right back at ya bother!
Almost everyone has Facebook. With that being said I worked around military guys and civilian guys also worked there 16 years. I got tired of it and my fiance then said we need to get married and we did moved to where she was got another job. I almost died she posted prayers on Facebook like last week. People I know saw it. But No one has contacted me. I have learned if people can't get something off of you or use you then actually they really don't care about you. I prefer to be a LONE WOLF! Just my family and Wife!
I’m praying for this man. He’s honest and a fighter and the God I know loves him.
I’m South African and I was on Sean’s side because of how Drikus joked about that. I went through the same stuff with my father.
I’m with you Sean.
Me too, Ruben. WITH YOU! WITH YOU! WITH YOU!
Me too, Ruben. WITH YOU! WITH YOU! WITH YOU!
You are super powerful for being here and going do strongly. Use this amazing energy yous have and use it correctly to push forward 💪 Liverpool uk love and light people
Dricus had to be seen in context though. Sean was dishing out about one clown guy whose dad molested him, he was dishing out how Dricus has sex with his male coach and all that. He was essentially saying whatever he wanted, so Dricus who is clearly not an intellectual and clearly thinks in Afrikaans and not English had to think about a comeback. Now when a guy is “grootbek” and insulting everyone else and going on about how they have sex with their dad and other men, then that guy is open to be taken down by any means. Dricus isn’t well spoken in English so he said the first thing that came to his mind in English and I believe it was fair play in the moment.
I had a buddy who in Grade 5 was taken away from his parents because he stood up to his dad for his mom, his dad beat him up so bad that he was placed in a children’s home. That guy would NEVER insult other people, and if he went around saying what he wanted it would be fair to hit him where it hurts as well, even though he’s a close friend of mine I’d say in THAT case it’ll be fair play.
As much as it hurt Sean, he needed to learn that you can't dish if you not willing to take. Dricus stopped after he saw it hit a nerve. He also learned that you don't go there. Now hopefully they will both keep dredging to the man, and not his family and family affairs.
Pray for Strickland
That's the problem, everyone just prays instead of actually helping. Your God did this to him and isn't going to help him out of it either.
@@crappieking5592your logic is flawed in every way possible. Try to put less emotion and more fact into your comments.
@@crappieking5592our god/god helped him be where he is now with the trails and tribulations
@@donatellosmithson1at least tell him why his opinion is wrong and spit facts instead of just sentences

Salute to Theo for being a bro in a time of need
Naw seeing a UFC guy cry hits way harder😢 same with soldiers 😢
"Im sorry bud"
"Its all good dude"
The friend that we all needed
It’s hard to open up to someone and yet so many people open up to Theo, Theo has beautiful soul
When a grown man cries in front of you and you touch your nail and say I’m sorry bud that’s where you know these 2 are bros for life ✊
Watching my mom get beat up by her bf when i was 11...I always felt I had to protect my mom. I hit the gym
Got 270 at 6 2" of muscle.
No one ever disrespected my mom or put a hand on her again.
It’s hard to watch someone who won’t just let it out. Dudes one of the toughest people on earth middleweight champ and he doesn’t feel like he can just cry.
Years and years of having to bottle it up it just becomes second nature. The laugh as soon as he tears up is brutal. I’ll do the same shit, not even trying to laugh, nothings funny, it’s like an instinctive reaction to cover up the tears
He does cry after this though.....?
Tears are for the weak
Be careful not to judge him… Nobody will ever know how much pain it must be for him to “let it out”…
sorrow and pity are for the weak be a man and choose denial....@@Kevin-tb8ng
Theo is the kind of friend everyone needs.
That's a broken man,protect sean at all costs
Never underestimate a parents ability to mentally scar their children
That's y my boy is the champ real raw and ain't no fake bone in his body .stay up champ n may God bless you

How many times did his dad made love to him? 😂
We don't have to talk, i can just sit here with you. Let that resonate for a moment, Theo is the man
@@Kevin-tb8ngit’s something Theos learned through AA and therapy that’s always helped him. When Theo was going through tough times he used to say he’d be on the phone with his brother and they’d just sit there in silence but knowing his brother was there was all he needed
@@Kevin-tb8ng….yeah cause Sean seemed so upset by it lmao
@@Kevin-tb8ng definitely not buddy that’d be more comforting to hear what he’s thinking than him just being quiet
@@ThisOffendsMeTV Fr obviously he appreciated it
@@Kevin-tb8ngnope, words of reassurance are better than keeping quiet
All boys who had abusive fathers and loving mothers know this feeling… cried with you Sean amen brother 💯
How loving are the mothers who choose such men?
@tayzk5929 imagine a person who you used to love just slowly changing over time
@@uncivillotus354 Sounds like a bad excuse
@@tayzk5929 then clearly ur not smart enough to understand
@@uncivillotus354 I'm just not a simp like you
Strickland is so real. That's the same reason I started boxing as a teen, to protect my mom if my father that I never knew came back to ever hurt her again.
I watched this interview. And cried. And every time I watch one of these shorts. I cry. Childhood trauma doesn’t leave. At some point we start crying for the little boy (that is us) who never had the opportunity to be a child. Who always had to be an adult. I don’t watch MMA, but this interview was great. Just a man allowing another man to be honest and feel his feelings, for Theo to just say, “I can sit here with you”. Sometimes that is the most powerful thing, someone who just acknowledges the pain you feel for the child who was you. The child that had to endure things, that no child should have to.
Feel the same brother. Every year I get into a very dark period where Im back to those times. I cry, a lot and alone. My wife, children and family probably think Im mentally stable and all right but there is a broken soul inside of me.
Busy schedule keeps my thought away from that. Thats how I deal with it but I have accepted that it will always be a part of me
I’m crying while reading this bro…
@@greenearth9945 Please pray about it. Even if you don't believe in God , please give it a chance.🙏
@@Dulltableaux I do believe in God and thats why I didnt end up in drug abuse or worse.
Damn, this is literally me.
People think he’s unhinged and out of pocket. They think is a sociopath and need to be cancelled. Truth is simply that the man is broken. That man acts like he’d hate it, but he needs a long ass hug. That man needs some sort of love. Fuck…absolutely heart breaking.
Theo von a real one for this
Imagine making fun of someone for childhood trauma they experienced. What a tool. Bless both these men. Theo is a real bro.
Sean Strickland is a solid dude.....the champ we need
Nah fuck that. No sympathy for someone who’s constantly talking shit about others and everyone’s downfalls. Maybe be a nicer person. Stop crying like a bitch. That belt gone by next fight.
A real role model for real
He’s a hypocritical soft arse clown.
Good fighter and a good man!
@@kami_1789ROLE MODEL? Nobody is looking up to a white supremacists
Been there man, people who haven’t lived this can’t understand the pain.
@@Kevin-tb8ng by becoming your own dad learning what not do and what to do right from your fathers mistakes. More men need to speak up including myself there’s nothing weak about being that little boy that couldn’t protect his mother or hisself from harm. Now we can. Not a little kid anymore. This is the only fighter who’s made me cry genuinely feeling the same pain feeling helpless I used to latch on to moms leg and beg her not to leave for work because as soon as she left I knew what was coming. I’m not even a big fan of him but win lose or draw he has more than my respect. Even though you won’t see this Thank you Sean for being a real man❤
🤣👌
@@Meandme710what's so funny?

I literally feel Sean’s pain. Wow, what an interview. Had me crying and I watched it about 10 times.
Takes a real man to cry bro you’re a champion now Sean you made us all proud
Ironic because Sean said only “Beta Males” cry but since hes a hypocrite that doesnt apply to him
@@haygraykbro stfu even men who are alphas break the difference is if you keep crying and do nothing to change anything or cry for now and then do something to change for the better afterwards.

This is why Sean is my favorite fighter of all time now. I find him very humble and relatable to many people across not just America but the world. He's the definition of a true champion and I hope Dricus gets what he deserves in this upcoming fight.
I understand Strickland's complex trauma. It's real stuff man. I get it
what your dad used to threaten to kill you and stretch ur bumhole so you wanna cry online like a chick too
Well, then, maybe he should be a nicer person and more consider about what others are going through instead of talking shit about everybody. No sympathy, that belt is getting took next fight.
@@randyrandhawa5347 sure. All I said is I understand his trauma. Maybe the belt will get taken, maybe it won't. Whatever.

Strickland is a man. God bless you brother. Both of you. God is real. And he was with you through all the darkness to get you to this light. Stay tough
He is the CHAMP! Such an inspiration for all of us men who grew up way to fast over protecting their mothers an family from their father's. He is outspoken an i love him for that. Heart on the sleeve. I lived a very similar life an respect the fuck out of him. Would love to meet him one day.
Mothers should protect their sons not the other way around
Theo a real one for his reaction
This is the guy who'll tear your body apart, and still can cry his hearts out. That's what masculinity is about.
I feel you brother, you’re not alone
The half laugh half cry he does hurts so bad I feel it so deeply. I remember laughing a lot in therapy and a therapist of mine worked with me on it its a seriously difficult coping mechanism. I'm glad everyone's being so supportive 💓
Respect to a real one.
The streets and prison are tough.
But when your home is that, you never leave.
Flashbacks I feel your pain 100%
Theo is a man with a heart. It’s genuine.
Sean is the peoples champ for sure.
I hate having to see this man relive those moments man. The balling up of his fist really shows it.
Both Theo Von & Sean Strickland are REAL ONES RESPECT 🫡

Coming from an abusive childhood it really brings alot out of a person especially when you hold it in for years and never let it out!
This is how real men act.
You know that’s some real pain when a man’s man like Sean shows emotion like that this is a real warrior
A good man!!!!! May he be blessed!
This kind of individual is much more frightening in the ring
Man Theo is a solid fucken dude, you can tell shit hits home when a grown man breaks down in front of another
Tough guy has the most soft heart
Really shows how much his mom means to him
Any man with a abusive father did the same 😢 mom was all of our protector and she could barely protect herself. Cheers men 🍻🫡
Sean is the man! Love this dude for how he turned his life around! Such an inspiration!
Haven't seen Strickland cry. New respect for that man. That's a real man. Strong when he needs to be. But knows what pain is. Much love Strickland.
That trauma cuts so deeply and leaves such a nasty scar. I've oftentimes found it difficult not to crack under the tremendous weight of such memories.
I respect Sean more and more. Not easy sharing your demons with the world. Dude is a warrior through and through.
Strickland is the champ that we needed!!!
People are quick to judge… you can’t judge somebody until you have walked in their shoes.
This needs to be seen more. Strickland is one of the toughest dudes on the planet and for him to show his vulnerability is inspiring. God bless you brother 🙏🏾
I love Sean cause I can feel that. This dude is real, no mask, just how life made him
Why Sean is a fan favorite. He’s a real person who has been through a lot. People who also have, feel like they can relate to him. He can be a savage and a vulnerable person when the occasion calls for it is really cool to see in a MMA athlete
Him trying to drink the water just because hes uncomfortable with how sad he was feeling hit me a little top personally
Damn son. Hit me right in the feels.
Dricus getting a real old school ass whooping
Dricus is no pushover. Its gonna be a good fight
Lmao had to use Izzy getting knocked out when talking about, “fell asleep on the ground” 😂😂
😅
Sean is a real fucking dude.
I had a fucked up father like that. I was always tired and I took that shit into my adulthood. I have held my breath in my sleep and was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. When I was a kid I had a hiding spot I would go to so he couldn't find me. And I was holding my breath in my sleep back then too. I guess I was trying to be super quiet.
Trust me if you think you are making your kid tough by always being a dick, you're wrong. You're just teaching them to hate you. Eventually they will pitty what you were and go on to be great loving man to their children. 🙏🙏🙏
Nothing more badass then a kid who protects his mom from abusive fathers
The cut to Izzy on the ground was wicked 😂
The more I learn about Sean, the more impressed I get by his accomplishments. He didn’t let his trauma destroy him, and he used it as fuel to take him to incredibly high levels of success.
The amount of respect i have for sean now is huge.
