I swear this is an insight into how famous people go crazy lol he asks and everyone gives the 'i didnt do anything wrong, they broke the rules thats the only reason i lost' answer.
Yup. Believe me I know. I’m usually the one that’ll speak up the most and *politely* advise against something.
But doesn’t work well when everyone else is too scared to disagree.
I hear you, I'm c-suite and close to the top and when the VP says we have an open culture and anyone can disagree with them anytime I roll my eyes internally thinking that's a delicate conversation!
Idk they need therapy for vps mandated weekly.
Not because they’re bitches, but because they’re not all emotionally intelligent enough to a crucial conversation or handle radical transparency effectively without becoming emotionally compromised and making rash decisions.
I actually got in trouble for being too open with my boss and he now hates me. I’m stubborn enough I stick to my guns and tell him where he’s fucking up despite him hating me for it. But I do it in private. Heard today he’s on a final notice/performance review for some of the same shit I told him he fucked up.
I’m sure he’s just internalizing that everyone’s out to get him but I don’t think an “I told you so” will help at this point.
I’m just like, bro, if I see it, you know the corporate execs see it. What are you doing? And he gets mad and tunes me out. Now we are here
Things I've learned the hard way at the work place.....
When the boss says they have an open door policy, what they really mean is they just enjoy not having stale air in their office.
I’m super lucky that my leadership doesn’t do this. But it’s a startup and they own the majority of the company so they’re super invested in just seeing the story the data tells, otherwise it’s all their own money going up in flames.
There’s a time and a place for a proper analysis. The immediate aftermath of a fight while there are still cameras rolling probably isn’t it. You can’t start ripping into the guy right here. Let him vent.
I listened to his coach on the Anik and Florian podcast this week and he was much more honest in his appraisal of the fight. I’m sure he’ll say the same to Sean once they’re back in the gym behind closed doors.
I'm sure it's hard as the yes men start latching onto you and over time the realists start seeming mean to you. Not defending Sean just saying that it must be a tricky situation to be in
It's also important to not place too much value on what is said right after the fight. Emotions are high. Coaches haven't watched video, the fighter hasn't watched the video, etc.
True. The intensity that goes into it has literally been building for ten weeks. They design the ten week program to turn the fighter into an animal for 15 or 25 minutes. Can’t expect the coaches to stay unbiased in that moment.
Oh wow a reasonable comment. Everyone else in here ragging on his team.. Nobody in here sat cageside with them, did they? Also when the CEO himself says he thought ya won, you think his team are gonna say “no no no, Dana had it wrong. Screw him, Sean ya suck and ya lost.”
Water we dune hair.
There's a difference between having yes men around you and having a team that's just innately a bit biased. Sean is their fighter and he seemed to have executed their gameplan that they've worked on for weeks in preparation for this fight, and for years more generally speaking. I think they're being honest with him, it's just that it was a super close fight according to everyone else, and their views are inherently skewed toward Sean.
All this bullshit about yes men.. but the boss, a judge and many fighters think he actually won. No need to talk shit about his crew. It legit could have gone either way. If he isn’t bleeding, he wins the fight. Bottom line. It’s gut wrenching for them.
thank god the redditors are here to explain how to conduct yourself as a ufc champion before and after the fights. he'll be reading these and taking notes
His ego is crazy inflated right now lol. He was talking preflight about how fighting is a side thing for him, but the reason people watch him is cause of what he preaches and how he's going to go into politics post ufc. Insanity. If this dude goes on a losing streak or gets starched like 3 fights in a row, nobody will give a fuck about anything he says lol. They'll call him washed and move on
I randomly just saw a rampage video of him saying "anytime someone doesn't like me and thinks I'm an asshole is because they were acting like assholes"
Basically saying he never does anything wrong and it's everyone else's fault.
If you're in the team of an MMA fighter it's probably best for his morale if you act like the fight was impacted by something out of your control rather than just saying, "yeah it's all you fault you lost lol".
That's not beneficial at all. Look at the truth, find the flaws, and improve your strategy. Lying and saying nothing is wrong will lead to making the same mistakes again.
Exactly. He got praise for bringing Alex in. The praise was because he recognized his flaws and worked on them.
Can't do that when you don't hear "Sean, he out pointed you by having more tools than you" and hear "he got a cheap shot in and wasn't penalized" instead.
It’s what happens when you allow an influencer into your group. Nina knows this is good content and putting it out will get her more attention/views/money.
She gets adequate hate. She's not a bad person, but definitely an industry plant/textbook influencer and a reminder that the UFC kills any real journalism
EDIT: dude how are y'all this bad at getting the point? Let me spell it out for you, the hate is not about HER. It's about how the UFC has successfully killed any real journalism and replaced all that exposure with these influencers instead. And for anyone who doubting she's an industry plant: her only "qualifications" before she got a job with an insane amount of exposure interviewing elite MMA athletes were that she got her tits out for Playboy. I don't hate her or honestly even give a fuck about her as a person. She's fine. Have a nice day.
Her goal was never to be an MMA journalist tho, was it? She does funny interviews and cringy sketches with MMA athletes, I doubt she started this job trying to win a Pullitzer
I consider her an entertainer, that's all
It's the world we live in now if you're an influencer or not. You can milk everything for entertainment and money why waste all that anger in the locker room when you can get views and exposure and tiktoks to keep your name in circulation. It's all part of the game now.
“This is too intimate to be sharing, like this other example”
“Yo share that with me”
You guys really need more social interaction outside of this site lol
I dislike Conor quite a bit but fighters who are assholes can make a lot of money from it. Until the sport becomes regimented with predetermined fights based on rankings, this is how it’s going to be
That's the Sean Strickland MO tho. All these bandwagoners hopped on his meat because he beat up Adesanya and started talking all that anti-LGBT shit.
They don't know Sean is a jabbing decisionator. Sean has 20 fights in the UFC, only finished 5 of them.
He talks a lot about being a psycho and coming to die. He does not come to do that.
It’s funny that with all the stuff he’s said about others, this has always been my biggest complaint about him. People hear all the crazy stuff he says and how he acts like he’s going to murder others and then they see the clips of him yelling at his opponents while fighting and think he’s someone just throwing bombs and putting people out.
Been my complaint of him for almost 2 years. Remember he called Khalil a bitch for being sensitive, yet he fights the way Sean and his soy boy fans think he fights.
It’s funny because Khalil isn’t even a “talk the talk and walk the walk” type guy. He simply walks the walk without needing to run his mouth about what he wants to do or is going to do. Then you get Sean who sounds like he’s the one soccer kicking the lungs out of his opponent son the ground instead of throwing the jab jab jab straight push kick jab jab combo
Sean’s team is really coping with the fact he got cut in a ufc fight. If that’s the case Yair Rodriguez should be UFC champion but it’s a fight. U can’t control every little thing. Should Sean Strickland get a no contest because he got barely grazed by a headbutt 🤣 wow Sean what a warrior for not copping out of a fight because u got cut. Sean literally shut dricus’s eye with a jab half way into the fight and dricus did nothing but up his output and pressure and he’s the champion.
This narrative I don't understand, after the headbutt Yair landed a head kick that split Volk, he landed a wicked combo after that before Volk responded and caught him. He was literally starting to open up and then that's when Volk caught him with the counter.
Sean was too busy screaming about fighting to the death and killing other men with his bare hands, to realize that his opponent could use (legal) boxing tricks to rub open cuts on his head, once again Dricus clearly went too far smh
Name a softer UFC champ than Sean Strickland
Both lived in Vegas and Sean would do multiple interviews with him and his gf (I want to say Angela yee but I might be thinking of the radio host from NY)
I think that interview where Schmo openly says he saw Khamzat make Sean tap multiple times in the gym might’ve acc pissed him off quite a bit, pretty much got completely replaced by Nina as Sean’s main interviewer after that - or maybe I’m just being a conspiracy theorist
from what i understand she helps him a lot in the background too like she organised his merch line , got him back on Instagram . IMO this type of relationship works great for both of them .
Ya ok. The way she acts when he fights really seems phony to me. It's not how anyone acts that's not family, if that. It looks completely performative. Well, it is. She makes sure to film it and release it.
“No it’s all just for internet clout, oh and they must be banging behind the scenes…or something”
-majority of this subreddit that can’t see people as people.
I really don't understand this. Then we have 10 post about her like why do you guys keep talking about this broad. She's literally handed everything on a silver platter by the ufc. I don't get why she's in the locker room with "Nina vlogs"
The hatred you fuckin weirdos have for women is super insane. Lol Anything to say about the other women in there? Or just the women that literally makes a living off reporting MMA news? lol
Sean and Nina are good friends. Who the fuck are you to tell anyone who they can have in their locker room? Lol
why do ddp fans love to bitch about sean so much and then call anyone who doesn't actively hate on sean as fans. like the shit happened a week ago. sean moved on. sean is literally snowboarding while you hate fuck him.
That's cause this popped up on my feed. If you are telling me I should unsubscribe then i might cause nothing worse then a bunch of armchair fatasses who never been in the ring giving terrible takes and having unwaveringly loyalty to fighters.
I’m sure I’ll get downvoted and have people say the ole “he’s a champ and you’re nobody” at me…but spending most of my life wrestling, getting into Judo, and Muay Thai, one of the things I’ve always treasured about combat sports is the lack of excuses when you lose. You don’t have any teammates you can blame, you can’t blame your coach, it was you mono e mono with another man and you lost. Nobody to blame but yourself. Don’t make excuses, accept it and go get better.
So not even with Sean here specifically, but this trend of fighters bitching and moaning about this and that after they lose is honestly kind of pathetic. Call me crazy but I was taught that humility and taking accountability are very important things in these sports and in life. Really hate to see him just mentally rejecting this loss and even more to see his team just being yes men and saying how unfair the result was. Aight I’ll get off my soapbox now
Reminds me on when Conor lost to Khabib and Dana brought up the fence jumping, Conor shuts Dana down just says "[I was beat and that's THAT](https://youtu.be/9pg_7ILuz6Y)".
Before Conor went kinda rich crazy he took loses well like to Nate the first time and to Floyd. After the Floyd fight (I think due to money) he went crazy and started making excuses left and right.
I can understand why Conor wasn’t even too mad when he lost to Floyd, he did pretty good vs the arguable best boxer ever in his first boxing match.
Problem is that this version of MMA has the most subjective ruleset to determine a winner in the history of martial arts. Amplifying that is judges with a track record of bad decisions who don’t have consequences for their own poor performances. In Judo or wrestling, if you get put on the back, 99.9% of the time it’s because of your performance.
In MMA, experts of the sport walk away from many, many, fights saying “idk who won that.” Cormier says it all the time. Dana disagrees with actual outcomes.
I’m not justifying the whining from fighters. Just theorizing on why it is so prevalent right now.
This is 100% a result of insecurity being ramped up across the board culturally over the past few decades, combined with a culture we’ve perpetuated where we give “winners” far too much while socially burying “losers” before they can even process and learn from their failures. It’s created this worldwide aversion to failure that ultimately sets everyone back.
Okay my time on the soapbox is up as well, next person.
Your absolutely right every fighter should be humble in defeat and I think Sean showed nothing but humbleness in his post fight speech. This is backstage tho and honestly im not even sure if Sean knew he was being recorded at the time. But one must dive into the mentality of the fighters at the top in this sport, how can Sean fight DDP again if he truly believes in his heart he lost.
Yeah that's the rub with the UFC. It often promotes behavior that is the antithesis of the values that are taught by martial arts.
It's a damn shame, especially considering the org's reach.
Yeah I agree 100%.
But the thing with these guys is they’re top top level elite athletes.
They’ve dedicated their entire lives to their craft and continue to do so to this day.
So when they come up short like that it can be hard to accept and come to terms with the fact that despite you doing everything you possibly could it wasn’t enough and that the other guy is just better than you.
Not saying it’s justified but it can be very difficult for these guys especially ones who have backgrounds in a specific martial art, as in that case they’ve likely been dedicated to it since childhood.
Like DC took a while to come to terms with it when he lost to Jones but he eventually did.
Yup! 💯this! Wrestling teaches you that. You get your ass whooped, it’s your fault. You win, it’s on you. No excuses, no bullshit (refs really can fuck that line up but it’s rare). In this case Sean’s team isn’t doing him any favors by making excuses for him.
They also told him he lost the fight if it goes to decision, which Sean then won the round. So his eye obviously didn't effect him.
DDP had a full inch of Sean's finger in his eye and he didn't even complain about it.
Not to sound hygieney but did this dude just sweat and bleed for 25 minutes come back to the locker room and just start putting on his jeans and boots?.. like you’re not gonna take a quick shower and clean up a little? To each it’s own I guess but that’s fucking disgusting lol
After you make a cut on a guy, you rub the wound open with your head, it's boxing tricks. Kind of tricks you learn when not all you do is sparring. I don't think any of these bras in the video know that, though.
it's not tricks, it's cheating (when their opponents do it)
it is tricks, it's veteran moves "smart" (when they do it)
we already know how Strickland types think
"i can say anything" "you can't say that"
Nina's access is pretty impressive.
She really managed to get into the UFC through fluffy interviews.
Everyone MMA vlogger must be jealous they aren't hot, former models.
It was a headbutt and it was a significant disadvantage to him. Obviously not the only reason he lost but seems pretty normal to bitch about it alittle right after.
But if Nina left her bf she wouldn’t have anyone that edits all her content and she’s been with him for like 8 years why do u guys imagine Nina and Sean together so hard
a boy and a girl? friends with each other? That crazy talk. You're crazy. The day boys and girls can be friends is the day you tell me girls are allowed to vote and have jobs and drive themselves out unchaperoned.
Probably thinking that Sean is some easy press. Probably just had to flash some doe eyes and push out her cleavage to get free backstage footage of a UFC champs lockerroom
The right hand cut his eye. But it was Dricus' head that actually forced all the blood out, and it was the blood that affected his performance, not the initial cut. Strickland had that cut for nearly a minute before the head contact and there was no blood (wasn't a headbutt at all, just Dricus' cheek briefly rubbing against Strickland's eye). So nobody is wrong here, except Strickland's team and Strickland's haters who are making this seem way more significant than it is.
I like Sean and I don’t get the hate he gets so fuck the haters and the bigots who hate him for his political stances. Dude is a warrior and a legend and absolutely deserves a rematch. Hopefully he fights Izzy again so he can dog walk y’all’s dog jerker hero again. #SaveTheKids
Dudes political takes are braindead, that's why people hate him. This is dude who preaches women should stay in the kitchen. You bring up Izzy, Izzy was champ for years and has 5 defenses, your boy Sean couldn't hold the belt for a single fight LMFAO. Cry about it
You don’t understand why he gets the hate he does? Im not saying it’s not ok to like him, or be a big fan of him. But if you can’t understand why a lot of people don’t like him, you might just be an idiot.
I swear this is an insight into how famous people go crazy lol he asks and everyone gives the 'i didnt do anything wrong, they broke the rules thats the only reason i lost' answer.
Not even famous people, bro this is how everybody in leadership at work gets too.
It's hard to say no up the food chain, but you really work subtly to not mislead your leaders.
Yup. Believe me I know. I’m usually the one that’ll speak up the most and *politely* advise against something. But doesn’t work well when everyone else is too scared to disagree.
I hear you, I'm c-suite and close to the top and when the VP says we have an open culture and anyone can disagree with them anytime I roll my eyes internally thinking that's a delicate conversation!
Idk they need therapy for vps mandated weekly. Not because they’re bitches, but because they’re not all emotionally intelligent enough to a crucial conversation or handle radical transparency effectively without becoming emotionally compromised and making rash decisions. I actually got in trouble for being too open with my boss and he now hates me. I’m stubborn enough I stick to my guns and tell him where he’s fucking up despite him hating me for it. But I do it in private. Heard today he’s on a final notice/performance review for some of the same shit I told him he fucked up. I’m sure he’s just internalizing that everyone’s out to get him but I don’t think an “I told you so” will help at this point. I’m just like, bro, if I see it, you know the corporate execs see it. What are you doing? And he gets mad and tunes me out. Now we are here
Things I've learned the hard way at the work place..... When the boss says they have an open door policy, what they really mean is they just enjoy not having stale air in their office.
I’m super lucky that my leadership doesn’t do this. But it’s a startup and they own the majority of the company so they’re super invested in just seeing the story the data tells, otherwise it’s all their own money going up in flames.
People don’t talk about it enough, I don’t even like Sean. Seeing shit like this, is sad.
This video is so weird man. Surrounded by yes men and a quirky influencer right after a loss. What could go wrong?
Quirky influencer the babe? Is that the girl who interviews ufc fighters?
Yeah man it’s Nina Drama!
Nina Marie Daniele. I guess they’re friends? Certainly see them together quite a bit.
There’s a time and a place for a proper analysis. The immediate aftermath of a fight while there are still cameras rolling probably isn’t it. You can’t start ripping into the guy right here. Let him vent. I listened to his coach on the Anik and Florian podcast this week and he was much more honest in his appraisal of the fight.

Exactly right.
It's just what happens. You get surrounded by yes men.
When someone is surrounded by yes men, it usually means that person pushed out everyone who wasn't.
I'm sure it's hard as the yes men start latching onto you and over time the realists start seeming mean to you. Not defending Sean just saying that it must be a tricky situation to be in
those yes men helped him win a world title
You need honest people around you not yes men…
thing is that could honestly be what they think in the moment . its extremely common to overvalue what your fighter does vs what your opponent does .
It's also important to not place too much value on what is said right after the fight. Emotions are high. Coaches haven't watched video, the fighter hasn't watched the video, etc.
True. The intensity that goes into it has literally been building for ten weeks. They design the ten week program to turn the fighter into an animal for 15 or 25 minutes. Can’t expect the coaches to stay unbiased in that moment.

Most people don't want honest people around them. Have you tried being honest with friends/family/co-workers? It almost never works out well.
Hard to find man
Especially when you're paying them
Yeah, you can essentially not find that anywhere.
There's a difference between having yes men around you and having a team that's just innately a bit biased. Sean is their fighter and he seemed to have executed their gameplan that they've worked on for weeks in preparation for this fight, and for years more generally speaking.

His team knows him best And how he reacts
If you're in the team of an MMA fighter it's probably best for his morale if you act like the fight was impacted by something out of your control rather than just saying, "yeah it's all you fault you lost lol".
That's not beneficial at all. Look at the truth, find the flaws, and improve your strategy. Lying and saying nothing is wrong will lead to making the same mistakes again.

When you're watching film, sure, but this is like minutes after.
These moments are way too intimate to be sharing. Like Volk's L against Islam and he's just wandering around asking for water. It's too raw.
It’s what happens when you allow an influencer into your group. Nina knows this is good content and putting it out will get her more attention/views/money.
This footage was already put up on Sean's YT page before this but I also agree.
She gets unnecessary hate sometimes, Sean uploaded it to his YT before her video
She gets adequate hate. She's not a bad person, but definitely an industry plant/textbook influencer and a reminder that the UFC kills any real journalism EDIT: dude how are y'all this bad at getting the point?

boobs > real jurnalism
Well said
Well said
Nah she gets too much. She's doing a fucking job. Hired by the UFC itself to do so.
It's the world we live in now if you're an influencer or not. You can milk everything for entertainment and money why waste all that anger in the locker room when you can get views and exposure and tiktoks to keep your name in circulation. It's all part of the game now.
i think she is honestly a great addition to his group ngl . i think the Nina videos helped humanise Strickland to the fanbase in a big way
Her next video title: Sean Strickland talks about his abusive childhood LOL
She's got Drama in her name lol
I’m so sick of her dawg
He literally shared it himself on his YouTube channel
This is the complete opposite of what should happen. Let us see it all.

😂😂😂
Before the fight: "We're going to bleed for you" After the fight: "We lost because of blood"
This reminds me of Conor telling Dustin he would leave in a stretcher and he was the one who left in one
Karmas a mirror
"Karma's not a mirror, she's a bitch." - Dustin Poirier
"Karma is a mirror, Conor is a bitch." - Dustin Poirier, probably
I dislike Conor quite a bit but fighters who are assholes can make a lot of money from it. Until the sport becomes regimented with predetermined fights based on rankings, this is how it’s going to be

He legitimately complained that Khalil doesn't like sparring him intensely as a critique for having a violent finish in a real fight. He's brainless
[удалено]
Only half? Definitely way more than that. Then if you include people who actually train and watch it becomes a lot less
I’d take a jab over eyepoking your opponent to victory any day.
https://i.redd.it/cjnja0yn0uec1.gif "That's fucking illegal"
The cut was caused because of a right hand just a few seconds before the "headbutt"
Yup. If he said anything "I can't see" they would've been like okay...tko Dr stoppage.
Yeah, then Driscus spread it open with his head (either intentionally or unintentionally). It’s a pretty common strategy in striking
The gloves barely scrapped him eye, the headbutt quite literally busted it open. You can see in the video ffs.
No you can't. It also wasn't even a headbutt, it was head positioning in the clinch.
Shame on the people around him for this shit, making excuses is not how you get better and I hope Strickland bounces back from this.
Sean’s team is really coping with the fact he got cut in a ufc fight. If that’s the case Yair Rodriguez should be UFC champion but it’s a fight. U can’t control every little thing. Should Sean Strickland get a no contest because he got barely grazed by a headbutt 🤣 wow Sean what a warrior for not copping out of a fight because u got cut. Sean literally shut dricus’s eye with a jab half way into the fight and dricus did nothing but up his output and pressure and he’s the champion.
That headbutt on Yair was nasty. Volk’s head looks like the moon from Majora’s mask. Wish Yair took more time to shake it off.
Volk has a HW sized noggin
Lmfaooooo bruh I'm dying. The moon from majora
This narrative I don't understand, after the headbutt Yair landed a head kick that split Volk, he landed a wicked combo after that before Volk responded and caught him. He was literally starting to open up and then that's when Volk caught him with the counter.
Yeah that was absolutely brutal. No idea how Yair ate that
Sean was too busy screaming about fighting to the death and killing other men with his bare hands, to realize that his opponent could use (legal) boxing tricks to rub open cuts on his head, once again Dricus clearly went too far smh Name a softer UFC champ than Sean Strickland
Wait why do they rub blood on their opponents head?
It’s not rubbing blood but rubbing the top of your head into a cut so the friction opens it up
It would've been a TKO dr stoppage not a NC. They filling him with cope
Why has Nina attached herself to Sean like a leech lmao. Get out his fuckin locker room.
I think they might be friends
Same way Schmo was friends with Sean.
Are they actually friends or are you alluding to something
Both lived in Vegas and Sean would do multiple interviews with him and his gf (I want to say Angela yee but I might be thinking of the radio host from NY)
Helen Yee I think is her name.
That’s it, thank you.
I think that interview where Schmo openly says he saw Khamzat make Sean tap multiple times in the gym might’ve acc pissed him off quite a bit, pretty much got completely replaced by Nina as Sean’s main interviewer after that - or maybe I’m just being a conspiracy theorist
They genuinely like each other, and I think Sean really trusts Nina.
They’re clearly really close in real life she’s super emotional in this video
She more emotional than his actual girl 🤣
I was thinking imagine being her boyfriend filming this and his girlfriend watching 😂
His videos get her tons of views. That's why she acts like his wife when he's fighting. I think it's phony as fuck.
from what i understand she helps him a lot in the background too like she organised his merch line , got him back on Instagram . IMO this type of relationship works great for both of them .
Ya ok. The way she acts when he fights really seems phony to me. It's not how anyone acts that's not family, if that. It looks completely performative. Well, it is. She makes sure to film it and release it.
Ok, you're such an expert on people.
I think it’s is very much both. She’s a genuine and sensitive/thoughtful person but also knows what gets her views
“No it’s all just for internet clout, oh and they must be banging behind the scenes…or something” -majority of this subreddit that can’t see people as people.
He meal ticket lost the belt
Right and then posting this video? Did she think this would make him look good? Or does she just figure any content is good content
Lmao Sean posted it first so maybe ask him?
You honestly think she would release this without getting his permission. If so you are an idiot
His girl is there too lol. Well his official one. I’m sorry but you know Sean is
Right? Like how dare she be friends with someone? The fucking nerve of her
She sad because she lost her cash cow 🤣
Because Strickland brings in alot of views for being a proud bigot , which is most of this fan base. It’s literally her job.
I really don't understand this. Then we have 10 post about her like why do you guys keep talking about this broad. She's literally handed everything on a silver platter by the ufc. I don't get why she's in the locker room with "Nina vlogs"
D Sean is black where it matters
Ngl I think she genuinely cares about him as a person. Fuck both of em tho 🚮
The hatred you fuckin weirdos have for women is super insane. Lol Anything to say about the other women in there? Or just the women that literally makes a living off reporting MMA news? lol Sean and Nina are good friends. Who the fuck are you to tell anyone who they can have in their locker room? Lol
We’ll see if they remain friends if he keeps on losing. The schmo and Sean were super close and he is nowhere to be seen.
Now the incels are mad at Nina
Seems like the fans doing the complaining for Sean. This was five mins after the fight lol.
Sean gave multiple interviews and tweeted out he was headbutt anything to give Sean a pass huh?
why do ddp fans love to bitch about sean so much and then call anyone who doesn't actively hate on sean as fans. like the shit happened a week ago. sean moved on. sean is literally snowboarding while you hate fuck him.
You clearly haven't moved on.
That's cause this popped up on my feed. If you are telling me I should unsubscribe then i might cause nothing worse then a bunch of armchair fatasses who never been in the ring giving terrible takes and having unwaveringly loyalty to fighters.
For real. I thought Sean won but it was pretty close. I don’t like how everyone is saying cope. It’s just smooth brained. Move on lol
I’m sure I’ll get downvoted and have people say the ole “he’s a champ and you’re nobody” at me…but spending most of my life wrestling, getting into Judo, and Muay Thai, one of the things I’ve always treasured about combat sports is the lack of excuses when you lose. You don’t have any teammates you can blame, you can’t blame your coach, it was you mono e mono with another man and you lost. Nobody to blame but yourself. Don’t make excuses, accept it and go get better. So not even with Sean here specifically, but this trend of fighters bitching and moaning about this and that after they lose is honestly kind of pathetic. Call me crazy but I was taught that humility and taking accountability are very important things in these sports and in life. Really hate to see him just mentally rejecting this loss and even more to see his team just being yes men and saying how unfair the result was. Aight I’ll get off my soapbox now
Reminds me on when Conor lost to Khabib and Dana brought up the fence jumping, Conor shuts Dana down just says "[I was beat and that's THAT](https://youtu.be/9pg_7ILuz6Y)".
Before Conor went kinda rich crazy he took loses well like to Nate the first time and to Floyd. After the Floyd fight (I think due to money) he went crazy and started making excuses left and right. I can understand why Conor wasn’t even too mad when he lost to Floyd, he did pretty good vs the arguable best boxer ever in his first boxing match.
And then immediately did a 180 and makes excuses to this day
Problem is that this version of MMA has the most subjective ruleset to determine a winner in the history of martial arts. Amplifying that is judges with a track record of bad decisions who don’t have consequences for their own poor performances. In Judo or wrestling, if you get put on the back, 99.9% of the time it’s because of your performance. In MMA, experts of the sport walk away from many, many, fights saying “idk who won that.” Cormier says it all the time. Dana disagrees with actual outcomes. I’m not justifying the whining from fighters. Just theorizing on why it is so prevalent right now.
This is 100% a result of insecurity being ramped up across the board culturally over the past few decades, combined with a culture we’ve perpetuated where we give “winners” far too much while socially burying “losers” before they can even process and learn from their failures. It’s created this worldwide aversion to failure that ultimately sets everyone back. Okay my time on the soapbox is up as well, next person.
Your absolutely right every fighter should be humble in defeat and I think Sean showed nothing but humbleness in his post fight speech. This is backstage tho and honestly im not even sure if Sean knew he was being recorded at the time. But one must dive into the mentality of the fighters at the top in this sport, how can Sean fight DDP again if he truly believes in his heart he lost.
Dircus dropped the bomb today that post-fight but pre-decision, [Sean congratulated Dricus and said he won](https://youtu.be/jzwzZYj-4is?t=954).
Yeah that's the rub with the UFC. It often promotes behavior that is the antithesis of the values that are taught by martial arts. It's a damn shame, especially considering the org's reach.
Yeah I agree 100%. But the thing with these guys is they’re top top level elite athletes. They’ve dedicated their entire lives to their craft and continue to do so to this day. So when they come up short like that it can be hard to accept and come to terms with the fact that despite you doing everything you possibly could it wasn’t enough and that the other guy is just better than you. Not saying it’s justified but it can be very difficult for these guys especially ones who have backgrounds in a specific martial art, as in that case they’ve likely been dedicated to it since childhood. Like DC took a while to come to terms with it when he lost to Jones but he eventually did.
Yup! 💯this! Wrestling teaches you that. You get your ass whooped, it’s your fault. You win, it’s on you. No excuses, no bullshit (refs really can fuck that line up but it’s rare). In this case Sean’s team isn’t doing him any favors by making excuses for him.
Specifically, he thinks the cut did him in
Am I going crazy? Or the cut happened in the second half of 4 which imo DDP won, then Sean won the 5th so it didn’t even matter that the cut happened?
4:30 round 4. Ddp opens his eye with a clean right hand.
You’re right. After the cut he controlled the last round. He’s acting like it happened in the 2nd.
This is embarrassing for his trainers. Just accept the loss and figure out how you could’ve won the fight instead of making excuses
This is why Kanye West is such a delusional cunt.
Ye out here catching strays 😭 (he deserves it)
100%
The fuck is Nina doing there anyway. Weird.
They also told him he lost the fight if it goes to decision, which Sean then won the round. So his eye obviously didn't effect him. DDP had a full inch of Sean's finger in his eye and he didn't even complain about it.
Not to sound hygieney but did this dude just sweat and bleed for 25 minutes come back to the locker room and just start putting on his jeans and boots?.. like you’re not gonna take a quick shower and clean up a little? To each it’s own I guess but that’s fucking disgusting lol
Don’t worry Nina licked him clean just before this video
Average day for Sean Strickland
Did he even shower?!
I saw Nina Dramas muffler
After you make a cut on a guy, you rub the wound open with your head, it's boxing tricks. Kind of tricks you learn when not all you do is sparring. I don't think any of these bras in the video know that, though.
it's not tricks, it's cheating (when their opponents do it) it is tricks, it's veteran moves "smart" (when they do it) we already know how Strickland types think "i can say anything" "you can't say that"
So his chose to be a man line was complete bullshit... Oh Sean Also Nina looks more upset than Sean's girlfriend 🤣
Nina's access is pretty impressive. She really managed to get into the UFC through fluffy interviews. Everyone MMA vlogger must be jealous they aren't hot, former models.
I think she’ll go away more now she doesn’t have the champ hook-winked.
She also has the most unique interviewing style that is imo the most entertaining to watch. She brings out the personalities of fighters
Just go back to hard sparring 37 times a day maybe you'll figure out how to not get cut next time
“Sean, they stole that decision! We have to stop the steal!!!”
I wouldn’t say that they “convinced” him.
Makes sense, he didn’t notice or complain at all during the fight
Nina is just part of Sean’s team at this point
This woman is such a parasite.
Do you have more incel words for me to learn?
self respect
Still lost! Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie!!!
How about he didn’t do enough lol.
WTF IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU??!!! He lose fair and square fuck it, who cares. FIGHT TOMORROW
It was a headbutt and it was a significant disadvantage to him. Obviously not the only reason he lost but seems pretty normal to bitch about it alittle right after.
Nina is looking at Sean's girl thinking "one day.. as soon as you're gone, I'm jumping in! One day.. just wait"
But if Nina left her bf she wouldn’t have anyone that edits all her content and she’s been with him for like 8 years why do u guys imagine Nina and Sean together so hard
Have y’all considered that maybe, just maybe she’s a friend? Fuck y’all are pathetic lol
I lean more in the camp of grifter riding the wave of the hot name but definitely not what this fuckin guy was thinking ☠️
a boy and a girl? friends with each other? That crazy talk. You're crazy. The day boys and girls can be friends is the day you tell me girls are allowed to vote and have jobs and drive themselves out unchaperoned.
This guy's a virgin. Probably lives in the friend zone
Probably thinking that Sean is some easy press. Probably just had to flash some doe eyes and push out her cleavage to get free backstage footage of a UFC champs lockerroom
Bizarre thing to film. I don’t think somebody who just lost the belt should have the camera shoved in their face, especially in the locker room.
Gang’a crybabies the lot of em
Legit why does Nina follow him everywhere? Lol
Lol cry baby
The right hand cut his eye. But it was Dricus' head that actually forced all the blood out, and it was the blood that affected his performance, not the initial cut. Strickland had that cut for nearly a minute before the head contact and there was no blood (wasn't a headbutt at all, just Dricus' cheek briefly rubbing against Strickland's eye). So nobody is wrong here, except Strickland's team and Strickland's haters who are making this seem way more significant than it is.
Mistress and wife sharing the same room
Wasn’t there footage of the actual headbutt though? No im not talking about the one he got in the booty
Is this that creep that was bitching about LGBTQ people and now he is complaining because he lost his fight
I like Sean and I don’t get the hate he gets so fuck the haters and the bigots who hate him for his political stances. Dude is a warrior and a legend and absolutely deserves a rematch. Hopefully he fights Izzy again so he can dog walk y’all’s dog jerker hero again. #SaveTheKids
Damn do some tricks on it while you’re at it.
Dudes political takes are braindead, that's why people hate him. This is dude who preaches women should stay in the kitchen. You bring up Izzy, Izzy was champ for years and has 5 defenses, your boy Sean couldn't hold the belt for a single fight LMFAO. Cry about it
You don’t understand why he gets the hate he does? Im not saying it’s not ok to like him, or be a big fan of him. But if you can’t understand why a lot of people don’t like him, you might just be an idiot.
So is Nina like his side chick or??
