Sean Strickland Octagon Interview | UFC 293 

Ben Nguyen next

Absolute legend

😂

Fax

Hahaha was looking for this

Dude I have said if someone has the balls to put massive efficient pressure on Izzy they would win and the mad man did it.

@@personreanimationyeah Gastelum almost did it but defense wasnt as good as Stricklands

4 out of 5 rounds!

In the style of the Diaz brothers when they are in good shape and they care.

Definitely , he walked close to adesanya which neutralized his kics and was the better boxer , and got more efficient hits in

Thats even more impressive than Strickland winning

​@@AeonsONEwdym, Strickland and Adesanya even with his painted nails, arent known for dirty stuff like eyepokes and nutshut.

@@elyas4637 Obviously he's referring to other fighters. Like Leon Edwards who probably committed about 9 fouls in his rematch against Usman and the ref only called him on 2 of them. He cage grabbed more than once. He was fish hooking the inside of Marty's gloves. He poked him in the eye. He kicked Marty in the groin 5 fucking times. One of them was between his legs so bad that he got the balls, taint and even his ass cheeks. It dropped Marty who had to keep fighting because the ref didn't do anything. Leon hit a hail mary to win the belt and he ruthlessly cheated to maintain it.

Just 25 minutes of israel running away and throwing the occasional leg kick.

@@samblack5313 more like 25 minutes of Sean piecing Izzy up with a simple 1-2 and checking almost every leg kick

I think it's more about how many people were shocked that he won and wanted to see what crazy shit he said on the mic lol. The UFC will be mad that he won the belt. He's a PR nightmare 😂

⁠@@13.t.athe UFC loves him, they only kept Colby around because he called Brazil a dump and its people filthy animals in his octagon interview after defeating Maia, so yeah

@@13.t.a True, Dana's worst nightmare. It's hilarious bro

@@13.t.atbf and this yeah 😂I had him winning all day

Almost 4 times the amount of views Suga Sean got on his post fight interview. Numbers don't lie

What people?

​@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cuALL people 👍

Not even the peoples champ anymore he is the champ lmao

@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cuus

And the Dog's Champion

Facts 💯

The beautiful story for sure. Read his story and it’s something straight out of American history X

Facts man he’s just being humble but it took him a long time to get that belt so it’s gotta feel amazing

@@doriangray4278for real. He went from being a Neo-Nazi to being a godfather to Chris Curtis’s kid.

Both can be true in a sense

True words

Same thing happened with O’Malley and Sterling, Both very inspiring

Yeah I only ever noticed him for his shit talk. He’s earned my respect that’s for sure.

strickland should grow his hair out, he's alot more marketable that way. strickland is a very handsome guy with long blonde hair

@@draco2xxjust say you’re gay

Exactly!!!

It's crazy how much sense this makes😄

Love me some underdog victory. Was nice to see sean humble and grateful, great sportsmanship from both fighters.

KHAMZAT V STRICKLAND. CRAZY V CRAZY. GET IT MADE

He sold his soul...

Yup and he rolled well with the ones that landed his face is clean, no cuts, swelling or even redness

Yeah im really glad DC mentioned how impressive strickland’s defense was. LETS FUCKING GO SEAN!

Du plessis would have smoked izzy du plesis is the most well rounded fighter in the division history he can do it all

Lmao Sterling and Adesanya lost back to back

Not hard to block if you just trying to block.

Strickland 100%

No you for sure comparing people who achieved more than you ever will.

Nope, O Malley octagon interview has 9 million. It's just his KO and his OI is on the same video.

@@mauricioquine3186facts really it’s 9.5 mil but mostly due to the finish being shown as well

O’Malley had an annoying voice imo Edit: has

Dad: Do your homework and wash up after dinner tonight okay? "I can't live like this anymore"

you don't know his strory@@darylbrown6739

Dad: Stop playing games all day and learn some real fucking skills You: "I can't live like this anymore"

Your last name is Le. Sounds like you’re projecting what your overbearing Asian dad said to you before. Right?

@@BorisBidjanSaberi11bro changed his name 😂

🤣

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

he beat the dog out of the dog fccer

😂😂😂😂😂

Everything came out right there... it wasnt even about izzy

Yes

Sean hunted him down like Rambo

Yeah

I was going apeshit just like Sean at that point. At the same time terrified he'd get knocked out XD

Great way to describe it. Good shit 👊🏼🔥

@@JustinLT212 thank you brother

Sean Strickland made it look izzy.

amen

Amen to that one, i watched this live and teared up hearing the announcer at the end. This one is for the underdogs, the blue collar worker, the ones that keep America running. Sean Strickland really is the true people's champ

Alex didn't doubted him.

Image , him doubting him self and prove him self wrong

Proved me right

@@buddybop9298crazy alex is the only one (that ive seen) who predicted that… something is going on with the higher power izzy angered some gods up there fr

He didn t prove you anything. Do things for yourself too, don t be a living vegetable waiting for others to prove you something

And don't forget the crowd after Bruce pronounced "new". Absolute joy and madness.

Real talk I even had a tear of happiness this was my favorite title win in a long time

I think he was scared of getting robbed again lmao especially after the cannonier fight

Sean inspires me.. My parents said if i get 60K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally Begging..

Rare human moment from Sean

Jones Jones left the chat

He is man. Not many people after goijg through the life Sean has been would make it out. Truly inspiring to everybody

Gynobender got dominated by a mf who walked him down with occasional jabs 😂😂 greatest striker 🤮

Na, not an upset !!!

Im not suprised so Jan beat him first

I knew there was something wrong with Izzy because prior to the fight, during the open workout, he was struggling to do a single push up.

​@@SweetSourPickleyes not Seen put on a class performance but I also think mentally Izzy wasn't there maybe the build up got to him

he spars 10-15 rounds at a time he can go forever 😂

He does like 20 rounds in the gym and I believe it he showed no signs of slowing down he might have the best gas tank that he properly keeps in check out of the whole UFC.

@@homework9102it helps a lot that he isn’t shredded, carrying body fat certainly helps, glad he found a ton of success at 185

​@@kanyewest678i like yandi can i get an autograph

He could have done another 5

Yeah I thought it was sportmenship but it turns out Izzy was just mad Sean made fun of his dog 😂. I guess I shouldn’t of expected Izzy to ever take a W

Izzy just begged Sean not to talk shit. It’s just vain respect.

Izzy was still pressed about Sean talking shit about his dog, you can see the surprised expression on Sean’s face like, “ is this dude really saying this right now?”

If the dogbender won, he would have clowned Sean hard.

Before the fight strickland was said izzy is a shitty person. After the fight Izzy said hold my beer

Anderson Silva and Alex Pereira must be so happy right now

@@CovertBandit0😂

Is his story inspiring yes but is he a man of the people that’s a stretch

@@jxjohnson6437 You ridiculed him before the fight and you'll still do it now, nothing new. I grew up the same way he did, he's a massive inspiration to all us throwaways. He accomplished his goals, who the fuck knows maybe I can too, that's something you can't take away no matter what.

high school bully redemption arc

Alex's son

Izzy would have lost to de plusis

I knew he would win. It's destiny

@@The_Eagle_Officialcope harder

Khamzat come for this bum👍 just wait 🙂🙃

Cry baby

​@@phoenixj1299. Not as much as you Izzy fanboys wailed to the heavens after his loss

@@conquistador-7526 To conclude that I am an Izzy fanboy based on my previous comment is stupid.

🤣🤣🤣"please Sean please don't do this to me"

wassup big man

abi nabiyon

He saved the dogs🎉

@@sillyface8501 Izzy getting home tonight looking at his dog like: *_THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!_* ( ⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)⁠☞

Ali - Big fan❤ Keep doing what you are doing ❤

Izzy isn''t Australian

They hate Israel

Not a single Aussie likes fagit addesanya, I don’t know why they hold his fights here.

izzy is chinaman

@@samblack5313because his whole team is full of aussies

Masterclass in countering too

did well defending against dogbenders headkicks too

White Greatness 👊💪

Exceptional performance! Pure focus!

I am baffled he got written off. He took the fight on 8 WEEKS NOTICE and has among the highest strike and takedown defense percentages in the entirety of the UFC. Only someone not paying attention would write off this man.

I actually cashed out for once. $20k richer is pretty good feeling

​@@trixonic6934DAMN man congrats

Remember when people said the Philly shell wouldn’t work in mma

@@trixonic6934 good for u bro but idk if u notice in first round tweet there was dude who put 220k on izzy

@@trixonic6934 stop the cap 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀

I gave him exactly 0% chance.

Idky 😂 . He had the perfect fighting style to beat izzy. On top of that he had been training with Alex for over a year

​@@PoyTroyhe went to train with Alex for less than a month dude

That 1% chance, he hit it

@aakay you can't say that after watching him do that to izzy for five rounds. Put some respect on his name.

KHAMZAT V STRICKLAND. CRAZY V CRAZY. GET IT MADE

Only Pereira and Whittaker picked him

Sean wont have that belt long

@@MrkraZzznahhh

Not this dog Izzy, not today.

He check almost every leg kick . And because Sean stands so tall he can pick up his legs easily .

What about Grasso vs Shevchenko? Or Miochic vs Overeem?

Truth is its not hard to block if you not trying to throw

He has a chin and great cardio all he had to do was keep marching forward

@@WillTheSkillet he didnt even use his chin here. Sean parried 90% of Izzy's attack and the one that landed arent clean because he's rolling.

Seriously! I’ve never been so moved and emotional during an announcement. I love how genuine and humble he is. Godspeed Sean Strickland

@@TJ-qn3cmyou should check out leon edwards vs usman 1 post fight

he was anxious because UFC has a history of leaning to the champs in descisons

at the same time it was clear to izzy that he lost

Yep cuz UFC judges have a track record of robbing winners

Greatest middleweight lmfao, Izzy is great but he's not a GOAT.

@@KhanSphere did you miss the POSSIBLY part? Not everyone’s going to agree. But you still can’t take away from the fact of the caliber of fighters he put away, most twice. All why fighting at least 3 times a year.. Silva didn’t fight the same caliber of fighters. Not like Silva was undefeated. Just because someone loses doesn’t take away from all that they did. That same principle can be applied to Silva. He looked like trash after Stephan bonnar. Only winning one fight out of his next 9 after bonnar. Honestly drop Izzy in Anderson’s era and he toys with everyone from his first ufc fight with Chris leben to his last with Uriah hall. Imagine prime leben Vs prime Izzy 🤣. Besides silvas first fight in the ufc was for title eliminator. Won the title on his 2nd ufc fight. Izzy had to wait 6 fights before getting a title shot. Only reason his record isn’t being broke is because Dana isn’t giving anyone a title eliminator fight for their first fight in the ufc.

@Cultee Silva started taking Ls at 38, most of which after the lower leg break. Everyone knows he should have retired. Adesanya, meanwhile, has already lost his title twice, at 33 and 34. He's in his fighting prime and can't stay on top. They are not the same. Also Adesanya has not fought thrice per year. He only fought twice in 2019, twice in 2020, twice in 2021. The only time he's fought thrice was in 2022, when he lost his belt.

@@KhanSphere still adesanya toys with all of silvas title defense opponents. On the other hand silva loses to a 1/4 of Izzy’s defenses. You can’t say guys like Nate marquat, travis lutter, can touch anyone in Izzy’s reign. Silva defended the belt against guys that would’ve been cut today. If Izzy defended against journeymen opponents like Silva did he’d look like the goat of all ufc fighters. Masvidal has a better win percentage than any of silvas title defense opponents

@@KhanSphere You can't argue with a guy that wants to compare different eras. I mean shit at age 30 Israel got to fight a 45 year Anderson and couldn't put him away. Anderson beat the best guys put in front of him and then he turned into a clown against Weidman and got clipped. I'm surprised he didn't bring up Anderson failing for PED's because Israel with his gyno titties is cycling them 100%. He might have forgot to take his steroids this fight thinking it would be easy. Weidman immediately sucked once USADA drug testing was introduced he lost his belt. Also Anderson Silva has every record in UFC middleweight history except for one that belongs to Israel Adesanya. Israel holds the record for longest average fight time of almost 4 full rounds.

That’s what I was thinking too

He probably didn't think he had it in himself enough to care

Of course he cares. Sean is real, but he is overcompensating big time. He doesn’t need to.

Of course it means a lot to him, bro grew up facing adversity. And now he's had the greatest win of his career.

FOR PETA

Man I love Strickland, and I honestly still wrote him off. What a beautiful performance. Fucking legend

Welcome to fighting. Happens every week. Boxing or mma. Someone says the only way for someone to win or lose is this way. They win the opposite way. People should learn by now

I said it too i really thought he had no chance. Wowowow. I actually wanted him to win but I legitimately thought he had no shot. AMAZING performance man.

@@contradictionsniper8276 Not to do the whole hindsight is 20/20 thing but I felt he had a genuine chance because he has 1) Unreal cardio, one of the best in the UFC. 2) One of the highest strike and takedown defenses in the entirety of the UFC. His insane defense is no accident. I really am glad he got to show the world what he really is capable of.

I’m so pissed I missed this fight. But I’m so happy for Strickland!

Du plessis would have slept izzy been saying for months du pelsis is the most well rounded fighter in the division history and you know it

@@teexcv stop making up lies, the dude went through x10 more in his childhood than you will in your entire life, you think Sean needs your forgiveness? Are you gonna forgive Izzy for what he did to his poor dog?

​@@teexcvdude already admitted that he regrets growing up with that mentality and has tried to step away from that. Still can't forgive him?

Nah izzy let him win. Cope harder.

@@RockyBoyBalboa Don't waste your time on this clown. Lil bro lost his entire savings betting on this fight.

Not true, I though he had a chance. That's why I bet money on him. :-)

Bruh not true i had him as a winner i knew he would win

I thought

How much you bet? How much you gained? If you don't mind@@ErikDalinStuntman

Speak for yourself

It looks good when it works

Sean fought better than Izzy.

Izzy wasn't bad. Strickland was the one that was great. His defense was insane. And he didn't give him time to breathe.

@@stephenlandrum I mean it usually does work. Sean's only been caught in a serious way one time in his career, against one of the best kickboxers ever. Other than that he usually outstrikes his opponents significantly.

Best thing that happened was pereira koing him..prepped him for izzy fight...no lapse from sean whole night

*Than

💯

Imagine Israel Adesanya busted an Anderson Silva and triangle choked Strickland in the final minute of the fight

Like Izzy did with Pereira, you mean. I agree. A lucky shot isn’t always that impressive.

@@genekendrick679*Thæn

You are completely overlooking that those numbers are maily due to Adesanya and Izzy is UFC's no. 1 star for a while now... Sean definitely is great but you would think the next matchup he has wont pull numbers like any of izzy's fights

@@elarabymohammed1 suck more nail polish bro LOL

Pereira folded him

“He can't look into izzie's eyes. He's scared” 🇨🇳💀

@@The_Eagle_OfficialTrue, but then Izzy folded Pereira and Sean just battered him sooo…

Buuuullshit everyone was counting Sean out lol. He was a 7-1 underdog

😊 khamzat is coming for that belt America won't last

Absolutely electrifying. I love this sport.

Aussie crowd was all for Sean, everyone hate izzy

sean isnt that good relax

This.was not fight 😅rip ufc

Sean's actually a dog

Such a shame he ain’t champ anymore 😢 so dissapointing

No shame in his performance. He showed up and left it all in the octagon. I thought he did enough. People's champ

U see the truth bother💯👌😉

So true! Leons win over Usman made me ecstatic

So TRUE brother...100% I hate adesanya with no reason

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

😂😂😂😂

Yep, he mixes the Philly Shell, Cross Guard, and the Muay Thai Leg bounce very well.

Nice comparison brother

Good observation

His defense to leg kicks was perfect. Leg checks or just evading by half inch

hahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahhahaahahahahahahhahahhahah

Yeah, and Comment Section Psychologists were calling Strickland "Scared" for NOT maintaining eye contact with Adesanya in those pre-fight staredowns. *L O L*

​@@jayluis189 Tbf I think he was scared. He said himself he was second guessing himself before the fight. But it doesn't matter what happens before, it's the fight itself that counts and holy shit did he make it count

​@@thomasmacdonough288, if you look past interviews, he said he is not a fan of staredowns because what's the point; the fighting happens the next day.

That 5th round was so tense. The last twenty seconds when he started taunting Izzy and opening his hands...

@@thomasmacdonough288 The dude got bullied by dudes in hs. Of course he doesnt like to stare. That's like trauma for him.

Best defense is the most effortless one

His boxing is the best you will see in MMA and he defends against kicks very well. Izzy underestimated him and could not make the necessary adjustments because of the constant pressure Sean applied.

Keith Jardine actually did the same thing to Chuck Liddell - major upset

his fundamentals are so effortless they're practically invisible. it's gotta be in part due to his insane stamina. most people get tired or lazy and let little things like leg kicks get through. but sean checked something like 60. it would completely change a fight if that many unchecked leg kicks got through i think we're starting to see that izzy doesn't have the best chin, also. he could've been more productive if he was willing to eat a few shots to put damage on sean. but against stronger guys like pereira and strickland, that's too big of a risk for izzy try to get within their range. he was stuck on the outside not able to do much

​@@360.Tapestry😂 Yeah, the first time in his career that he's ever got knocked down, and now your starting to see that he doesn't have the best chin. What a silly thing to say.

Du plessis would have smoked izzy

yeahyeahyeah ppl said that about Alex n he go night night@@hellotron9118

Nobody? I think my coupon says otherwise

​@@hellotron9118 i dont think adesanya could bear the pain of loosing his crown to dricus du plessis, loosing to strickland somehow seems like a copout because ddp was coming for his dignity. sean isnt serious and and just makes a joke of things

​@@hellotron9118naw not the recency bias. Izzy is still better than DDP, but this MMA. All things can happen

Everything about it is impressive..impressive on so many levels. It was so impressive that it made nearly everyone involved in this sport look dumb.

@@wheelmanstanyea we all look like idiots. I was praying for Strickland to win and I didn’t expect anything like that

Old Izzie would've destroyed Sean because he used to throw straight shots a lot more but now since he was spoiled by fighters walking into his wide strikes and when some trailer trash decided to do the opposite his whole game went down the drain.

@@boygonewhoopdataZZlol cry more. Hm did you lose?

@@BTWAIDS I'm actually a Strickland fan 🤣, I'm just calling it as it is, I would batter Sean with just a jab

Dricus ain't doing shit. Sean will box his head off the whole fight.

im aussie and after watching his podcast with theo he's gained more of my respect

More like Dillashaw's win over Barao

Stop comparing it to anything, it is as mind boggling as if Justin had defeated Khabib by wrestling 5 rounds.

Except that Rockhold had 0 defenses, and Bisping was a legit veteran who'd beaten a who's who. Other than losing it to Pereira (who by pedigree is the greatest striker in MMA history), Izzy had like 10 defenses, was a LONG reigning champ, and no one has seen Strickland do anything like this before.

Comparing rockhold to adesanya is beyond insane

I know you want your likes and all that shit, but ping just got a fluke KO against an overconfident guy who lacked striking def, while this was just a fookin kickboxing clinic against an elite kickboxer

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Agreed with your picks, but i'd also add Holm beating Ronda to that list.

Bisping???

What about Serra

Glover Teixeira

And i lost money on this. So fucking happy about it 😂✌🏻

It was all Sean, I don't think Izzy was friendly.

Clearly upset where? He can only be upset with himself and rightfully so

@@kunal8639agreed. Dudes got such a fat ego smh

Izzy refused to do the post fight interview after yelling at Sean post fight about the dog comments how is that being a good sport 😂

Izzy was begging Sean not to make fun of him and his dog

Izzy won round 2 but besides that sean won every other round

Way better than boxing. Btw Izzy out striked him in round 2

The UFC is dying LMAO

@@burritobandit45 it’s getting bigger every day, while boxing keeps declining. Check the views

Man it was crazy to see. It reminded me how lucky we were in the early days where this kinda stuff happened every event it seemed like.

Me too, always knew he was a threat

you don't know him anymore than those "people that don't understand him"

@@TJ-qg9kp I lived a similar life bud , drug addict parents, abuse , and now I’m a multimillionaire like Sean from rental properties and flipping houses . You’re still poor lol

Glad to see Izzy humble in defeat. Huge win for Strickland! Shout out to those who bet on the underdog!

​@@petejablowski2123prove it.

-600 holy shit, what an underdog story. He absolutely dominated Izzy.

100 bucks says you doubted him too

He is not funny , he is weird.

doubters? they were saying sean has 0% chance.

i totally agree but the funniest guy in the ufc is costa by miles

catch his other fights, sean walks down every fighter like that, to a fault even. Alex slept him fast, but you gotta wonder how the fight would have gone if it went the distance

UFC 5 needs *a new trailer* where Strickland destroys Izzy

I have, against Pereira. Strickland has almost the exact same gameplan

​@@actuallywilllooks like he learned a lot after that Alex fight. Alex would ko him again IMHO, it's a perfect matchup for alex

@@happydays2190 well yeah cus alex trained with him lmao

@@99ovrslasher Say that again without crying tho

​@@99ovrslasher Your racially motivated cope is hilarious. Keep it coming.

He looked untouched after the fight 😂

He was untouchable that night. Insane.

I don't think so.. The more impressive thing is he made Izzy look like a below average fighter who couldn't handle one-two, teep and forward pressure. Just insane how styles make fights. I'm so glad for Sean.

Right!!! FN Savage!!

That's such a classic clinical boxing lesson too, that 1 2 was dangerous

He’s a good man and showed respect to his opponent after

@@davidmason3671na he still made fun of Izzy in the post fight press conference 😂😂 but well deserved so

​@scamguru even his roasting always seems a bit tongue and cheek. Not nearly as personal or abrasive as other fighters

@@El-gordo_ no like I mean how he physically treats them he’s not too uptight that he won’t hug

Dude was locked in the whole time. Reads were on point, kept his hands up, and feet moving
