Sean Strickland Believes Controversial Comments Could Keep Him from Next Title Shot

i thought it was well known it was his controversial comments that got him his first title shot.
No, what got him his first title shot was Izzy wanting to stay active and campaigning for it behind the scenes. UFC didn't have any interest in having him in the title picture. Perhaps that has changed now with them seeing him become quite popular.

Yeah know in all seriousness, I think Strickland lets his act play too much but he's got that old school Randy Couture vibe just a little bit. He's nothing compared to Couture and younger but the guy captures a fan base and that beating on Izzy was just unreal. I get why people think "when he makes it I make it", a little bit of Kimbo Slice except way less iconic and rough but way more skilled.

And yeah often has had boring jab fights.

Sean Strickland believes his unhinged rants could be the only impediment on the road to his next middleweight title shot.


Strickland dethroned Israel Adesanya via unanimous decision at UFC 293 in September 2023 in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. Strickland’s short-lived title reign came to an end via a split-decision loss to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297 this past January. Strickland has since bounced back with a split-decision win over Paulo Costa last month, which many believe should have been scored unanimously in favor of “Tarzan.”

Meanwhile, Du Plessis puts his title on the line against Adesanya in the main event at UFC 305 on Aug. 17 in Perth, Australia. Strickland is now adamant on fighting the winner of that bout next instead of a title eliminator against Robert Whittaker. “Bobby Knuckles” rebounded from a stoppage loss against Du Plessis with a unanimous decision win over Costa followed by a knockout over surging newcomer Ikram Aliskerov in a short-notice matchup.

According to Strickland, Whittaker surpassing him for the title shot would only indicate that the UFC doesn’t want him on a big stage with a microphone.

“I mean it’s known,” he told told Shakiel Mahjouri. “Like, I’m next in line. It ain’t Whittaker, it’s me… If they gave Robert the title shot guys, it’s for one reason. It’s for one reason – they don’t want me holding this [a mic] on main stage. I’m next in line dude. There’s no argument in it, it is a f—-ing fact. If they give Whittaker the title shot, it’s welcome to Bud Light.”

If they didn't care before, I doubt they'll care now.
 
Nah it's because you cried in front of Theo fucking Von when you was the champ. No one wants to see that shit.
 
What do you have with that?
A little soy sauce?
Minced garlic?
just some hot sauce, the sardines were good old King Oscar in extra virgin Olive oil, don't think it needed something like garlic although i wouldve used soy sauce if I had some but baby rays hot sauce good.

could always add an egg to the rice or more but quality sardines don't need that, just white rice is good.
