Sean Strickland looking to be the next Matt Serra.

"I'm gonna make it look easy" doesn't equal "I want an easy fight."

 

[Spath]

”I’m gonna kick his legs and circle away for as long as it takes!” doesn’t sound so mean

Isn't it great now that champs decide who, where, and when to fight?

At least Matt Serra always had the reputation of being surprisingly heavy handed and always looking to finish fights. Sean fights every fight not to lose, and just kind of spars.

Sean as champ would disrupt the division lol

 

[Liverkick-king56]

This fight all depends on Strickland, dudes going to have to go for the kill all fight long or else he's going to get chewed up with kicks like poor Costa.
We either get KG/Izzy or Costa/Izzy..... win or lose I really hope Strickland plays to his strengths and shows off his elite boxing to hide his slow footwork and leg kick defence.

As long as they are all as active as Adesanya I'm all for it.

He is a douchebag and I will root against him most of the time but dude has cleaned the division and is already lining up the next batch of contenders: Strickland, DDP and Khamzat.

If there are more contenders, doesn't that mean the division hasn't been cleaned out?

Spot on. Very polarizing and potentially grating personality, but Izzy is a one of the most active champions ever. Not many fighters would actively call out Romero for instance. He's going to be missed when he retires.

Actively call-out but then actively avoiding engagement in the fight

Based on their records in the division, none of them were making a case for a title shot 12 months ago… that said, the general sentiment of your reply is true.

You've Sean the future?
