Strickland Explains His 'Cautious' Performance

[CerebralKnievel]

Sherdoggers are hilarious. You all fellate these fighters because of how they behave outside the octagon. This guy's entire UFC career is forgettable.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

it'll never happen again? lol that's just how he fights. it's not like this was his only time he coasted to a W.

the best part is he talks about listening to "suits". if he really was like the persona he tries to put out there, he wouldn't give a fuck what a bunch of rich cunts think. people hate Colby but this guy is literally the same but just dumber and they eat it up

 

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

Not holding his performance against him anymore due to his use of the word "fancy"

Carry on Sean

 

[Swarthy]

Strickland is Yawnville

Is english your 5th language? hes obviously referencing the suits throwing him off, not fighting cautiously as the thing that wont happen again.

Hmm. The suits threw him off, meaning they got him away from fighting the way he would have otherwise. So if he's not going to fight more aggressively in the future, what difference is he anticipating?

 

[jeff7b9]

No but he could've went a bit harder sir.

100%

He fought safe. Big money and opportunity at stake, win bonus and he is close to a title shot with Izzy having already cleaned out the top 5.

Listen, do you have a fight on the UFC card next weekend? If so, lay off the resin before the fight

Listen, I’m still wondering why every single post of yours starts with “Listen?”

Oh I get the reason, but it still doesn't help the look of it is all.

I don't think he's forcing it in any fight. Focuses on defense and the jab. Can sometimes hurt a guy, but he's not going all out to do so. This is what it is for the most part.

 

[chillyoo]

Maybe we can get a new episode of cribs when upgrades to a duplex?

 

[jeff7b9]

Yup.

And if he didn't get the title shot because of the boring performance, well, that would be fair imo.

UFC needs blood bonuses and finish bonuses imo. Currently fighting safe is generally rewarded.

Blood and finish bonuses....I likey lol.

Strickland doesn't exchange punches. Never has never will.. He doesn't really have top tier power so when a strong fighter engages with him he has good enough fight IQ and the skills to avoid it.

He is a very good boxer, very good at managing distance and knows his strengths and limitations..

He is more of a cerebral fighter. Opposite of the wildman character he portrays. That's also why is very big in mental battles against his opponents. that's why you see him not sitting down between rounds and talking to his opponents.

 

[rjmbrd]

I don't believe Strickland is a killer either way. He's had a few tkos but he's not a wild knock artist or submission specialist. He's only finished 3 of his 12 wings in the UFC. If IF he can tko or submit you he will but hes absolutely no killer.

This is the right logic.

Sean fought and looked pretty much like what I've come to expect of him. He's a competent point striker with great defense and cardio.
