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

Sean has the potential to reach a lot of people in a positive way. Even if his messages come with some truth or common sense they way he delivers them is pretty damn cringe.

He's like a highschool edge lord. That kid you graduated with that wore Slipknot shirts and wouldn't stop telling dead baby jokes. His best friends were two minions that literally never spoke who were bigger losers than him....that's this man in his mid 30s.

I still tune in to all of his fights, lol

Does he want to live for me or murder me in a senseless act of random violence. I'm so confused.

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.”

it is because he talked about fight pay. yall really think dana believes in free speech?
 
It's good to recognize when you say dumb shit. That's an early step in the process of maturing into an adult. I wish him the best of luck.
 
If Izzy wins I think Sean makes a lot of sense since he does have that win. If DDP wins Sean's only argument is "I lost better".

And it's not impossible (though unlikely) that Izzy vs DDP could result in a rematch and keep Sean on the shelf for another several months. Along the way Whittaker could pick up another win or two.
 
Hopefully he does not get a title shot.
Tons of us don’t want to see his boring ass “fight”.
