Interesting too when you consider Cannonier is the common denominator between the two.

Have a scouser accent and lose all 3 rounds? Acceptable.

Ya.. i dunno how hes ranked so high lol..
Lots of arm punches ..no turnover... Stands really Straight legged..why cannoneer didnt explode for an easy takedown i dunno... but it was there all night...and he doesn't seem to have power strickland...
His best attribute really is .. hes willing to stand infront of u..
Thats it lol u cant say anything else
Which is what got him deaded by Alex

Sherdog loves guys like Leonard Garcia, and hated guys like Kampmann, Machida, and Strickland.

Izzy knows how to set up and land strikes effectively using more tools than just the jab. Where as all Strickland has is his jab to set anything up and if he can't get anything going with that he's fucked.

Talks smack then pitter patters. Has good defense but puts no power into shots. "Goddamn Jack you have a hard head!" No Strickland you throw pillows.

Strickland is basically the new Chael Sonnen. And honestly, that's probably an insult to Chael Sonnen, noth as a fighter and as a shit talker.

Yeah it's weird huh. I honestly like MMA as a sport so I like watching guys take it to a decision in a strategic way.

Ugh - just throw in a few kicks and 1-2 takedown attempts and Strickland probably wins this fight.

No doubt.
When he’s against fighters who are way overmatched, that style actually kind of works. It looks like he’s systematically breaking them down. But when you see him against some of the better talent, it really does look like “point fighting”.
It’s bizarre, really is.

Imagine having the bare-faced cheek to compare Sean Strickland to Lyoto Machida.

I get the sentiment, but still it's far from boring to me. It's still can be very humiliating and frustrating to keep eating jabs all fight and get your game shutdown, so it's not anti-climactic, IMO, following the trash talk. Even if you said you would tear off his head and piss on his grave or anything like that.
