Bisping thinks Sean Strickland is an a-hole

[Ogata]

Every time I hear the name Strickland, I think of:

 

[Fahcough]

Can someone give me a quick summary rundown on what Strickland has done that's so bad?

Meth in trailer parks.

Talks shit to opponent while punching them. Don't know any worse back stories.

 

[MGS]

Takes one to know one

Well yeah respect to Strickland for being a good fighter and everything but he said some pretty pathetically stupid crap. Like, not funny, or interesting, or hyping a fight etc.. Just dumb.

His fighting style isn’t that great to me either, but he’s getting good results and cool for him.

He said he wouldn’t mind killing somebody. That’s stupid. Like ok, your dad was dumb and raised you bad, that’s nice.. With full respect to his courage as a fighter (raised tough) and his current ability to beat me up.

LOL at Bisping of all people having a bad opinion about someone else. On the other hand, one asshole would probably recognize another one.

 

[BowserJr]

They're both terrible people

 

[fenway926]

bisping calling other people assholes is fucking rich.

I know right

Bisping recently interviewed Sean on his podcast, they’re definitely friendly

 

[Make Sherdog Great Again]

Strickland comes across as a real asshole.

 

[Franklin U.]

Bisping's career is based off his antagonism. Thats how he sells fights,and he has made a ton of money in the UFC doing so.

Wow - I actually agree with a good part of this.

If Bisping thinks that, then Strickland might just be what we call an "asshole's asshole". Pretty elite, IMO

I must be missing something. After Strickland's last two recent fights, I've thought he calmed down for the interview and was just an honest, passionate, and yes, even humble guy. From a fan's perspective, I'm not getting where this is coming from at all. Is he aggressive and a mauler in the cage? Yes. Does he shout like a barbarian and fist-pump after a slick t/ko? Yes. Is he humble, polite, and calm during the post-fight interview? Yes. So I'm not seeing where the asshole is.

From training/sparring sessions with the very folks who've gotten in there with him, Shermano

I'll admit that since posting that originally that he's gotten a *ton* more exposure, and yes, appears (or is at least pushing the angle) to be crazy/a bit slow.

They train at the same gym sometimes. You have people on your team that you don't like it or think is an asshole. It is normal but it doesn't mean you are going to "fight" them or anything. You kinda avoid them or try to kill them during training.

He wasn’t talking about Bisping, he was talking about Sean changing things after his motorcycle accident

Talks about how he’d enjoy killing people. Mans fucked in the head.
