No one knows who he is outside of this forum

 

[kenetics]

Only knew of him when he got subbed standing up by Sanchez lol.

 

[burningspear]

Don't give a fuck, be popular.

Welcome to 95% of MMA Fandom. Since there's so many casuals here, before the last few months happened, about 60% of Suredawg didn't really know who he was either.

Promotion is made up bullshit. If who he is sells then more power to him.

 

[DS66]

His best self-promotion is winning fights, which he's done impressively since his return from his motorcycle accident. Might get a title shot with an impressive W over Rockhold, which I wouldn't be opposed to. Interesting fresh matchup for Izzy (even though Izzy would likely wreck him with superior speed and counterstriking).

 

[RiotWyatt]

It's happening again. Meh contender making a name off of beating old fighters and people gonna clamor about how the sport has evolved.

That’s fair

As long as we want to watch him fight, he's doing his job

 

[Local Plata]

He's been saying dumb and outrageous shit the entire time, actually. The UFC finally bumped him up to main card/co main. That's it.

I feel like I've seen Sean fight half a dozen times before and still didn't know who he was. I honestly thought he was British up until now.

I think you have a point, but maybe a part of it too is who the UFC decides to promote and how. Sean's at a point where he can't really be denied the mic anymore, and this is kind of what you get.

you can say the same with 99% of mma fighters who have ever lived.

that’s not it. Strickland is a pressure fighter loves to fight and non stop pressure with no quit in him.

Win or lose I don’t care. I’ll always be fans of guys like that.

 

[mkt]

He comes across as aloof and raw, though. It's not "look at me!" with a bunch of typical self-promotion and pictures of him looking fake tough and flexing. You get the idea he may really be a throwback to another culture hundreds of years ago...where men settled things with fists or weapons, in a sporting event, street or forest. I actually know of someone like that--he was willing to travel hundeds of miles to go fight someone in front of his home--then the law enforcement got involved. Time will tell how real Strickland is.

"If it weren't for the UFC I'd probably be cooking meth in a trailer in prison".

Nailed-it. Strickland is not "meh" at all. Like you say, he's a crazy pressure fighter (see: his last 5-10 fights). Handily beating Hall in a 5 round stand-up war (and receiving virtually no damage to boot) is no joke. Rocksalt better get his grapple on.

 

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

Sorry but I don’t think it’s working. He has less followers than Angela Hill

 

[JohnMandick]

Angela Hill instagram is pretty funny to be fair. And I find her hot.
