Media Sean Strickland will now wait "for as long as it takes" to get a title shot

[Unheralded Truth]

Strickland takes a shot at his MW rivals for waiting too long:

"The problem with these fucking c*nts, besides Whittaker, they all get a fight and they take like eight months off. What the fuck? What are you guys doing with those eight months?
What are you guys doing for eight months? Say yes to the fight, go fucking fight! I don’t understand why these assholes take so much time off.”

Strickland says that he has shown enough to be the clear no. 1 contender:

“I’m going to wait, I fucking paid my fucking dues. I paid my dues. I got fucking robbed, we all know I got fucking robbed, at least Dricus doesn’t back up. So I’m going to sit my fucking ass
in the gym and I’m going to be a team player by fucking waiting, and I’m going to fucking wait until they say ‘Sean, now go beat this man.’”

Strickland confirms that a title shot is the only thing he will accept:

“I'm willing to wait as long as it takes. I want the gold. When you’re fighting these top-10 motherfuckers, you’re only one slip and dodge away from being knocked out. I paid my penance,
I did what we did, went and fought Costa. I didn’t want to, I did it. So give me the fucking title shot! I beat Izzy and that motherfucker gets a title shot?”

Sean "You Guys" Strickland

Seriously though you guys, I think winner of Whittaker/Khamzat gets the next shot if DDP beats Izzy, if Izzy wins they might do Strickland/Izzy 2.

I expect Chimaev vs Whittaker to be fireworks
There is no way they will give the TS to Strickland after a snoozefest
He will have to do the same as previously and look for a short-notice title shot

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

It's be Chimaev or Whittaker getting the shot over Strickland. He'll have to wait, unfortunately for him.

 

[Urluberluu]

He can wait , it doesn't bother us
We won't miss seeing jabs for 25 minutes

 

[Leinster Rugby]

"These c#nts wait too long".


"I'm going to wait as long as it takes".
(Must be just the right amount of waiting in Sean's case).

 

[Hezekiah]

He's going to be waiting a long time if Chimaev beats Whittaker. No way he doesn't get it.

 

[Vergilius]

Chimaev/Whitaker vs. Izzy/Dricus

Then the winner of that fight vs. Sean.

...but I'd be fine with either of Izzy/Dricus rematching Strickland first too. But of those matchups have unfinished business and the first fights were good.

 

[Jackonfire]

Oh no, not that.

 

[fortheo]

Mocks other fighters for waiting, then says he'll wait. Sean Strickland in a nutshell.

Even Khabib is a fan

That doesn't surprise me at all

Now Strickland knows why everyone waits now. Eventually its your turn in line. Unfortunately we have Izzy and Khamzat before Strickland probably. I'm sick of the "lose the title, win a fight and wait" shit.

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

My favorite part is how he says he is going to sit on his ass and wait for a title shot…

While also complaining about how Adesanya is sitting on his ass waiting for a title shot…

He beat Izzy and Izzy hasn't done shit since

He fought 3 x in 2022, 3 x in 2023 and he's already fought 2 x this year.

In that same time that Strickland fought 8 fights you've had Khamzat fight 3 times and 4 times for Whittaker so I can see his point.

 

[Haj01]

He never lost imo

 

[World eater]

He is right for the most part. But him taking a long break is fine by me, the longer the better.

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

Hey you guys be fair!

He did out jab a Costa that is now 1-4 in his last 5 with that one win being washed Rockhold, he’s totally a legit #1 contender…..
