"Strickland Is SAVAGE!" | SEAN STRICKLAND vs KICKBOXING CHAMP SPARRING BREAKDOWN! 

💀

😂😂😂🎉🎉

Jon Jones got more experience with that

You hit her with a jab first, then when she's blinded you throw an uppercut and good night.

Comment of the night

Debatable. But also yes

@@benjaminyoung9694That is no debate, Costa wasn’t fighting back until round 3

Got a good point here

Dude is a champion. Costa isn't

@@phoenixo7133yeah he’s also retired and significantly smaller.

Held like a punching bag

What I love about Sean is that he does not belittle his opponents by going easy on them. Imagine what it does to a fighter mentally, if he is doing his best, only to discover that he is unable to harm his opponent, while his opponent picks him apart effortlessly. Sean always makes it a fight. He damages the body short term, but makes the other fighter stronger mentally long term. If you were locked in a cage with a prime Sean, fought back and stayed on your feet, you know you have a fighter spirit in you.

⁠@@HD-fc4dsNo, he did well especially considering he was so much lighter.

@@HD-fc4dsYou held like a no mom loser

​@@roboform100get off your knees bro

😂

Major goku tfs dbz moment.

In the ring they speak the same language

He didn't slip the uppercut, it caught him on the tip of the chin. Sean was impressed with his own work there.

​@@mitch6962ok

​@@mitch6962He seemed to mostly manage to get out of the way, looked like a glancing blow off the face to me. You can see that Sean's punch grazed and then connected with the brow of the dudes headgear, almost lifting it off him. I think he was just reacting to the exchange and close call.

@@mitch6962 He absolutely slipped it. Sean would not have that kind of expression for a near miss uppercut that didn't land flush. It would have rocked him for sure if he had connected, Sean has an easy 20lbs on this kid. Plus, you can clearly see it's a slip if you slow the video down, no need to bs in the comments.

Bigger body bigger bussy

The funny part is that the more in shape smaller man was the one tired. You can see Sean has a little belly on him and this dude did some really good body work. Didnt slow out of shape Sean down for a second lol. Impressive.

@@thefaceless8796 The Japanese guy had exaggerated movements since the beginning of the fight. Sean was barely trying

@@user-hz4rh7py9k Remember, the Japanese guy is a K1 fighter, he's sparring 50% here without his kicks. Sean is a phenomenal boxer but that's 90% of what he has.

@@user-hz4rh7py9k That's kind of what happens when you have a 20-40 lbs weight advantage. Watch Sean spar Tom Aspinall and let's see him not break a sweat while trying to not get knocked the fuck out.

It 100% is. Problem is everyone thinks they become Mayweather within 3 weeks 😂

What are you watching lol. Landing punches VS landing effective punches are two different things.

@@TheLastOG88 ok pal

@@TheLastOG88 you didn’t even make a point lmao. I said he landed a ton of body shots. YOU brought in a new dimension to the comparison which no one previously mentioned in this instance. Seek help lmao

​@@kimalibennett9468😂

People kept saying in many places how DeSean was "beating some poor rando" in Japan. Took me 3 secs to find his wiki and his fighting CV, then watched some highlights on RU-vid. 😳 When you're a K-1 champion and finalist in another category that says "world class."

I think that fight got canceled

But both k1 and rizin are lower level organisations tho. Its like saying andrew tate was a serious kickboxig champ.

Let's hope Manny doesn't not try to impregnate him. We know how they roll in Mexico 🇲🇽

⁠@@SuacoRVactually Anpo said in the last part of his video that he thought he didn’t lose by technique but the weight difference between him and Sean, what an arrogant statement.

Exactly. The ONLY person to beat sean at middleweight in my opinion was alex pereira. I had sean winning both the cannonier and the dricus fight.

It's not that he sucks, how's defense and stamina are elite! It's just against the "mixed martial artist", anyone who is has 2 or 3 high level skill sets he looks bad. His Usman fight was so one sided he went up in weight. He lost his a decision to Cannoneer because he threw the same 3 strokes over and over Again, Dricus, who has a third or less of the the experience as Strickland figured out mid fight, spam the overhand and threaten takedown to beat him. Let's not mention what 🗿did. He's right to avoid the Whitaker fight, I think his pace changes would near hell for him, he's have to fall back on stamina. Liked his boy Curtis he need to add another dimension to his game to work towards the that time generational fighter in his division status

@@johncrichton8876 Cant really say dricus “figured him out” when he busted Dricus face up bad and most people think dricus lost the fight

😂😂😂an average person don't know sh*t about fighting

I also love boring split decisions

its like those street fighter pros that hold the block button and block everything lol

He weight 81kg/178 lb When fight Sean not 154 dumbass it his weight in when fight

He fights at 154 but a lot bigger here. Probably 185

​@@jacktherabbit2375Sean probably 210 here too

The bigger man with much better stamina too. Makes it hard

It doesn't work in MMA at all. Pereira proved that it doesn't by using a simple left hook to chin Strickland.

@@WardenOfTerramate the fuck you talking

​@@WardenOfTerra that's not a philly shell problem that's a Sean Strickland just walking down Alex problem

Wait, what? I thought Philly Shell was one of the prime candidates for a guard in MMA. Am I missing something?

@@WardenOfTerrayou can’t cherry pick loses to prove your point he beat Izzy to become champ 💀

It helps that his style is very unique, makes it hard to train for and approach. Like a modern rocky marciano, hard to game plan for because nobody fights like him.

every fighter does this lmao

@@kennydiaz2301 its the consistency hes talking about, everyone loses focus on whats truly important intermittently, jiri said the same thing about why poatan is so good, unwavering focus

@@kennydiaz2301 not every fighter does this. Lmao

@@kennydiaz2301 no

You acting like sean also didn’t have his moveset limited in a strictly boxing spar…

the fact he has headgear on show the focus was on sean being offensive wasnt real sparring

@@BlackSun90LMAO Sean barely kicks clown, all he does a little teep. The K1 kickboxer would scissor kick Sean to the head if kicks were allowed 😂

@@nalsra0they should do an mma match then💀

Adesanya was 75-5 kickboxing and had 3 inches on him. His style frustrates fighters.

Sean figured him out he can beat him now guaranteed. Alex is old snd done real soon watch kid

​@derekcarruthers2197 hahaha he's not going to be done soon. He has the belt. I see him going to atleast 40 years old, so 4 more years

@@derekcarruthers2197lol that head kick last night to Jiri says something different lol

He lost to a few guys tho, by KO too.

@@derekcarruthers2197 i love Sean but your statement is really dumb.

He always gets out of shape when he's not in camp

It's easier to retain and build muscle and strengh at a higher bmi you can only stay shreden for a short time with out losing muscle unless your on alot of peds

@@davidr5087 Sean could be leaner without losing muscle mass or performance but he's enjoying himself

​@@davidr5087he is a natural 220, maybe he could live at 200 year round but that lifestyle takes some hardcore discipline on the diet and unless you are on some weird samurai vibe it's not worth it. Coming from someone who used to be shreded year round

@@Zendvious "vibe" - XX Chromosomes and rainbows

ey W for Sean for going out of the country and living life. Hope he could talk about his experience or maybe get some vlog footage Edit: So turns out theres a youtube video of seans mini vlog compilation of him going around Japan and its what y'all would expect lol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bYMGqjmpbJw.html

@@pcabanban25 true, gotta respect him if he wishes to stay away from cameras for a couple of weeks though

inoue is almost half his weight, and japanese fighters don't know what light sparring is so i wonder how that'd go lol

he's like 30 pounds over the guy he's sparring in this video?????

@@mr.absolute8556input can’t even spar the top fighters from 135-140 he’ll most definitely get hurt

Sean Strickland’s ptsd country bum azz is not the people’s champ 😂😂😂😂

His style is ideal against counterstrikers

​@@bigheadrhino Izzy doesn't do well against brawlers. Sean tries to turn every fight into a brawl.

@@bigheadrhino its ideal against ppl with no fight iq. Ive seen muay thai fights where heavy punchers got their arms broken from taking too many kicks on their guard. That shell will break.

@@talemwakaheru5831 I wouldn’t call Sean a Brawler. Costa is a Brawler, Sean is a Pressure fighter.

@@peopleschampiii584 there aren’t really any kickers like that at MW in the UFC. Obviously he can be beaten, but he shouldn’t be overlooked either, he’s proven himself more than enough times to show his style is effective.

If he actually fought like he'd sparred I'd respect him. Its almost embarrassing how much it exposes Sean's insecurity to me. Talks wild game, spars hard against dudes that he knows won't actually KO him, only to then fight scared in the cage.

Against cannoneir and ddp he was backpedaling

Absolutely

@@devilkazumi578not every fight is has the same outcome… because every fighter is different… Sean has one hell of a resume

@@devilkazumi578that’s just simply untrue. He beat both of them comfortably and got brutally robbed because the ufc hates him.

@@JoshuaSmith-no9mn I never said who won....did you watch the fight? Sean was walking backwards the entire fight

Yeah I found that weird that he used it like what twice in the first round against dricus that never really used it again.

​@greuju im glad sean fixed that against costa

@@greujucouldn’t teep against ddp cause of ddps pressure

@@SeanstrickIandvswomensmma untrue. He just stopped. Fighters aren't smart.

He has interesting fundamentals

Hope you like mayweather then since he does it even better

@@mr.purple250 ros basic boxing in a world with flashy styles and mayweathers characters, a basic boxer solid fundamentals is very weird and in mma? is like an equalizer

@@blackmetalcumbia he throws a jab like a hammer fist

@@mr.purple250 and with that beat Word clases fighters

And for fighting in a tiny cage that benefits Sean's style a ton, basically fighting back to the cage the whole time.

@@keion_arknights yeah that ring doesnt allow any running away. Favours aggression.t looks the same size as the cage in street beefs scrap yard

that's why he had a head guard .-.

Hence the head gear and big gloves. Boxers spar well above and below their weight classes all the time.

The thing is Sean asked for a guy over 180lbs. This Japanese dude is more like 170-175. I'm 160 and he's bigger than me+ in fighting shape, so he really got more like 20 pounds on me which is 180. Which is what Sean asked for. Dudes not 150, idiot.

Careful. His fans don't like when you shit talk their god.

and they ended up doing 5 because the Japanese fighter used all his energy

Facts so effective an efficient. Call it boring if you want but that’s mastering the are right there

Art

To be fair, Anpo is only 154lbs Not disregarding how good Strickland is, but they're weight classes apart

He’s labelled boring because his sparring footage is more exciting than any fight he has been in

@@Frisketheboyyou shouldn’t expose yourself like this on the internet bro, casual.

@@Frisketheboyif you think his fights are boring you’re just not an mma fan

I mean, that's sort of fair but GSP had 12 title defences lol.

@@rogerteaminski6351 GSP never got robbed out of his belt

You have to try and come up with you own jokes and opinions like an adult 💀

@@seanmy3884 sean keeps a snickers bar in his freezer so he can suck on it while thinking about shadowboxing his next opponent for 5 rounds

@@seanmy3884 sean cares so little about winning the belt that hes dodging rob whittaker to wait on a izzy ddp announcment

What’s wrong with that if it’s working and the opponent can’t break through, why would he have to change it? Are you stupid?

Sean haters be like: “let me close my eyes and completely ignore everything else Sean does”

20kg lighter and still gassed out and marched down and counter punched every round don’t get me wrong ANPO is a a DOG but if your technique can’t be implemented can it really be labeled as “above “

Das how they say it that’s y it’s called ssj

Couldn't even pronounce "kamehameha" or "toriyama" 😂😂😂 Its cool though Mighty gets a pass for being the goat lol

@@aiyachristian he pronounced kamehameha like how they say it when they use it... not like the actual name i dont see whats wrong with that

Yeah thats the Japanese pronunciation

My guy, that emoji should only be used by females. That's a money desperate, eyes rolled in the back of the head ready to give suck with tongue out to money itself or those that have it because they are so desperate for it emoji.

Dope bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Rukiya recently fought a Rizin heavy weight MMA fighter (80kg vs ~110kg) under 1 min kickboxing rule. They fought 3 + 1 extra round and Rukiya won by decision. He hurt his leg during the fight that's why he couldn't kick when sparring with Sean.

Yeah, you're fuckin confused for sure.

Brother you have the boglim as your pfp

@@hazeshi6779 and you have a cartoon...

@Toxik_Dubz it's a photoshop I made as a kid, not a cartoon besides you're you one whining about "real men"

Strickland for president 😂

"Here's the thing about being President you guys...."

if my aunt had nuts....you'd be on them ififififififif

No

You don’t wear shoes in mma. He is an mma fighter. I think it is pretty self explanatory

@@zoroverse8358 they're just boxing and the other guy is most definitely wearing shoes. it's a completely different feeling having your toes stepped on with and w/o shoes pretty self explanatory! :)

@@billybob-wx2re I think Sean would find the shoes annoying as he isn’t used to them. Also no one stepped on the other’s feet. Does every mma fighter look like they woke up in the night to fight off an intruder cause none have any shoes when fighting.

You can clearly see they arent similar in size

@@НиколайТобиас they are in the same range, of course Sean’s bigger but this difference means much less between these two at the weights they stand in this video. Now maybe if he was leaned out to 135, then I can see it making a big difference of course but you guys don’t get that 180 is much more similar to 200ish than it is to 135

Anpo's not 180 in this video

@@koo1770 says you? I’ll go by the challenge that Sean Strickland publically made leading up to this for a Japanese fighter over 180, so my point is made, it has evidence and yours is delusion at best. Have fun

Anpo was around 180 by his own account. Strickland himself said he's around 220 while on vacation in Japan. Sean is also decent amount taller and longer reach. All of that really adds up, and if both were of equal skill Sean would have a huge advantage. That being said, it was evident that Sean has much better boxing. From his cardio to his style, he's just hard for anyone to fight honestly. If you can't KO him he will just impose his awkward style and make it his fight, like he did here. TBH, Sean was being very respectful in the first few rounds and only turned up the heat after Anpo did first. Most likely Sean could have stopped the smaller man in 1-2 rounds at max if he had wanted to.

Fr though

You will start to see it when you get better yourself.

You already do. that's how he fights. lol. did you see du plesis face? He got himself a strickland face lift, So did adasanya. He hits harder than you think.

@@mikehawk6120 thats right. He also showed up to a another fight this month while they still in recovery

Look at DDP’s face There’s your answer

been explained a million times before.

@@icmman7 Ah thanks for your super helpful comment

@@3ncore706 welcome bottom boy, next time do your own research.:)

​@@icmman7shut up

It is to do with takedowns and reason Thai fighters tend to stick to Thai and not cross over to mma as much, the guys from Thailand are even more strict with transitioning to mma but that’s also more to do with their culture

Pffft

Alex P is basically a Heavyweight that fights in Light Heavyweight. Dude can easily put on that weight comfortably.

Yep zheili zhang

I’d prefer to watch Alex spar a super heavy weight than to watch Strickland curl into a philly shell with a smaller opponent.

@@saberdxebec I mean sean is an average sized middleweight whereas Alex is a big light heavyweight so.. Also alex is getting ready for a big fight coming up soon, Sean is just chillin Also alex and the heavyweight were very light sparring. Sean and this guy were sparring pretty hard Also the guy sean was sparring had head gear on. Basically the situations are totally different

​@@guy2006Alex P walk in weight is 230 all he has to do is not cut and he could be in heavyweight🤦

punctuation is your friend,embrace it.

Stop making excuses

Dude you’re wrong, Anpo walks around over 180. They are similar enough in size it’s not a factor here

@@michaelparkerdesign he does fight at lightweight though no?

@@Atimo133 yeah I have a homie that cuts 50 pounds and another that just can’t, they are the same size, similar to this situation. Anpo has the ability to cut. In this video Sean called out Japanese fighters over 180, so he is clearly over 180 here and he even looks it, what I’m saying is this isn’t as big of a size difference as you are making it out to be

​@@michaelparkerdesign people seem to miss the part about Sean asking for a Japanese man over 180 pounds 😂

Yeah he offered to actually fight him in the "streets" but Jake isn't doing that 😂

@@Hades-shadow Why would he?
