Media According to Brendan Allen, Sean Strickland was taking down Ankalaev “effortlessly” in recent camps

[Your Two Braincells]

I thought Brendan Allen didn’t like Strickland and wanted to rematch him after he got KO’d by Strickland? Why would he have positive things to say?

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Even if Strickland could take Izzy down and win the fight with wrestling, he'd probably still stand and jab.

Does Brendan train with either of those guys?

I thought Brendan and Strickland had beef?

 

[JoeRowe]

It was a while ago and he did lose, but his bottom game was pretty decent vs Usman. Don't know if I've ever seen his offensive wrestling though.

He think he wrestled Uriah Hall a little bit but I can't remember how much. I do remember him having Hall flattened out at one point, much closer to finishing than Muniz came for comparison.

But that's the only example I can think of.

Are we about to witness the arrival of Seanmed Stricklandaev?

It’s more believable given that Allen got TKOd badly by Strickland, and isn’t better served giving him props.

DiviSean 1 Strickland is born.

MMA On Point just did a video on him. Says he was purely a grappler when he started.

If that is true he fucked up choosing to stand with Alex. Maybe he decided to play the long game and didn’t expect this to come out before he got a TS? But it’s too late for Izzy to do anything about it now. Unless he pulls out.

Who did Allen hear this from? That would be nice to know. It would be funny as hell if he wrestled Izzy to a decision.

well that’s been the subject of conversation before. why did he decide to stand and trade with a world champion kickboxer when he knows how to wrestle? ive yet to hear a convincing answer.

Camp stories… don’t care if it’s true or not

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

I believe him the same way I believe Khabib was taking down Cormier, Cain and Rockhold. Of course Khabib couldn't take down Tibau who was a 155er but had no trouble with Cain and Cormier.

 

[jsbx45]

Even if true, we're unlikely to actually see it in a fight.

What movie is this gif from?

LOL Muppet Treasure Island. I can't really stand the movie (as an adult), but holy hell Tim Curry nails Long John Silver (and pretty much any role he was in) out of the park.

 

[NovaJon93]

Didn't know Allen and Strickland trained together. I recall Strickland going off about Allen when he asked for a rematch after their fight.
