The Psychology of Sean Strickland 

Hey guys, appreciate the love and support. Trying something a little different, let me know what you think!

YALL BETTER NOT BE CALLING MY BOY A CLOWN

Sean is the people's champ with or without a gold belt.

We must protect Strickland at all costs

brooo sean didnt cry because DDP made the comment about his dad. he was just telling Theo about his childhood

He's certainly NOT the bad guy. He's more the voice of reason.

We are not bad But we have to be bad because the whole world is bad Sean strickland is such a legend

There is no one deserving more the antihero label than Strickland.

Keep uploading man no one makes videos like you do they explore a very interesting side of the MMA world

5:32 The worst judgement of Sean Strickland. He is probably the most empathetic person in UFC. His respect towards normal working class people is really from the heart. He Does not have ASPD.

Great video , loved the ending. It’s So important to integrate your shadow into your complete self, first by acknowledging, then accepting and forgiving whatever antisocial and ‘negative’ traits you my discover within yourself after a jungian analysis. My shadow ruined my recent relationship, thought I’d found the love of my life. I’m sick to my core everyday thinking about it but all I can do is repent and learn - something these videos are so helpful with. Not just sports psychology, these are for life. Thank you JD, these are a true blessing for all of us lucky enough to watch! Keep up the great work, you’re helping people more then you know.

Very well done and interesting to watch. I hope you don't mind me adding my take. There is a difference between someone who is narcissistic in the lack of empathy sense and someone who is narcissistic because of fear. People who have gone through extreme trauma are often stricken with fear that can come out as unempathetic. The same reason a child would insult another child just because they themselves are afraid of not being appreciated. This happens to adults too but is more common with children. It is a form of preemptive retaliation. My take on Strickland is that he is consumed by his world view that the world is inherently evil and that people are mostly evil. This makes him fearful of love and kindness so all his interactions with the world are attempts at reinforcing his world view. The only way to deal with someone like that is to be loving and kind unconditionally. I bet that if any future opponent of his take this approach to Strickland we will see a Strickland that is facing his deepest fears and becomes vulnerable and unrecognizable. For Strickland to accept that the world is not inherently evil and that people are good (true or not is not the point) would force him to realize that evil was directed at him in particular. This is an incredibly difficult realization as it would shift his view of himself from one evil amongst other evil to someone who was not loved. To not be loved or wanted, especially by your parents, for the sole reason of you being you is exceptionally demoralizing.

Strickland didn’t get emotional when DuPlessis said horrible things about his childhood. He got emotional when Theo Von empathized with him when he was talking about his childhood. Theo’s kindness was harder for him to deal with than Dricus’s trash talk.

I'd disagree that he has a lack of empathy and egocentrism. I think he has more empathy than most people, especially if you look at the quality of the relationships he has at his gym, and how people see him as a leader and trust him, even before he was a champion. He also doesn't flaunt his wealth like most fighters.

he is multi layered. behind the bravado there is a sensitive and sensible person but also dire t and no BS I love Sean

Your videos by far my favorite mma related content on youtube! Another great analysis!

Amazing video bro. You are one of the best creators out there !

Man. The ending hits different 🥲 had a pretty rough few days. Excellent video

Sean is not Joker he is Batman , and man with good values

Was waiting for this one, great video as always. I hope u see this bc on a personal level, my own channel has actually gained much more traction ever since I started implementing the advice that u gave me (abt doubling down whatever makes my journey unique instead becoming a standard self-improvement channel amongst many). So just know that ur changing lives brotha, keep it up!

Bro I love how u break it down, what a quality work, much respect, subscribed🤙🏻

Great video! By Far the most authentic MMA channel on youtube!

One of the best in the Bizz back with the fire. LETS GO

Great analysis man! Good topics that definitely get the brain working!

SEAN IS THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE....HE SPEAKS FOR THE PEOPLE, HE'S NO SNOWFLAKE. MAHALO'S 🤙

man I really love your videos ! keep the good work .

I was glued to your insight. Well done 👏🏾💯

Sean Strickland freedom of speech! He is right about what he say too the press !

love the content!

Sean Strickland is amazing, I loved him being champ. It was like a high. Damn that hurt when they robbed him like that. Right away the interviews became few and far in between... Miss the guy already. I think everyone needs a little Sean Strickland in their lives.

The End was so great

Favorite RU-vidr posts a video about my favorite fighter right before my tournament. Day couldn’t have gone better lol. Great video! Do you think you could make a video going into the dark side and actionable steps and methods to cultivating anger and rage and using it in a controlled manner? This video was beautiful bro. Thank you🙏

Strickland’s character is very easy to love and to hate that’s why he is so loved and hated

You have returned! 👏

“NO GUY THAT BEATS OFF TO CARTOONS IS GONNA BEAT ME!” -Desean Strickland

Great video. The first I watch from you and definitely not the last 👌🙏!

this is a great way of learning psychology through mmA

love your videos

Nicely done once again 👍🏾

Excellent analysis thx

Incredible analysis!❤

don't over analyse... he is just a real man in a world full of cowards.

Love this video bro

Your videos are world class! Thank you! I would like to see a "The Psychology of Oleksandr Usyk" episode, of which i am a big fan. Will you ever do one?

Sean Strickland is the man ! Love this guy !

Great video!

Good video I’m glad I watched it until the end. At first it seemed like the parallels you were drawing between the two characters didn’t lineup because of who Sean Strickland has become. Watching the whole thing, though I realize you do touch on the fact that he’s been working on his shadow integration, which is saving him from becoming a lost soul. Hope most people watch this until the end.

Finally!

Sean’s more like Batman

Amazing video

Awesome content i love it More and quicker upload if its possible❤

I enjoyed the video. I’m a huge fan of Sean Strickland. He’s a wonderful man some of these parts I do not agree with but towards the end it was perfect.

I love sean,he is the man I aspire to be

Such a strange comparison but I guess we’ll go with it because of all the effort you put in. He had a violent upbringing, he went thru shit as a young man. I wouldn’t call him the joker but more so a man that goes thru things in life and comes out the other side on top in his own way. He did and does what he’s gotta do to survive like most of us. My favorite fighter rn as well

Let's hope now that shawn can afford health care he will work through some of his issues. I'm praying he does.

After a long time

I like the anti hero because they are real even though they are successful, unlike many who put on a fake good boy image

While I may not agree with all of Sean’s viewpoints, give his last interview with the UFC with Megan, I definitely think he’s more comparable to Phoenix’s Joker than American Psycho.

Sean is a hero...not anti hero....all just by speaking the truth and not letting nuts bully him .....great man...he's far from crazy.

Why am i crying !!!!???

He is not the bad guy he is the good guy. He is the hero . Strickland is rhe man

I don't agree with a lot of the things you said about Sean, but it's a very well-done video. I also realize now how much more based Sean is, and that he will KO DDP with gunshot to the head on national TV because he's da joka baby.

What I’ve seen of this guy I really like and agree with! He wears no mask!

Wow that was an amazing fucking video it literally gave me chills

Crazy how simply speaking honestly in 2024 makes you an “anti-hero.”

Sean Strickland is literally me

*Sean "People's Hero" Strickland*

Do the one with Nick Diaz

Nice

man i wish lone oak would come to this game

Mr Strickland 2024 👊🏼

Tell you who saun is he’s a man who’s had to put barriers up his whole life because from day one all he knew was badness because he was brought up by it, hes been hurt like not many people understand believe me he’s one of the best men you get period!

Sean Strickland is a Blue Collar Hero who literally fought his way out of the Gutter.

I guess I do have antisocial personality disorder 😂😂 in middle school we were playing dodge ball and I stepped on my teammates wrist and broke it so that I could throw the ball, and I laughed at him. He came the next day with a cast and I said what happened then he reminded me and I felt so bad but when I did it I didn’t think anything of it.

Thank you bro 😢❤I missed you ❤

I think as long as Sean has a good girl by his side which he does he’ll be fine. I also think after his ufc career as a fighter will be the time he goes one way or another. He’s smarter than you think and extremely marketable. He gets attention by just saying whatever he’s thinking. That’s a skill that can not necessarily be taught.

The People's Champ 🔥👏🙏

Honestly, I think the man holds core, average beliefs for the majority of average men within the entire United States. He has been given the soap box, so he spouts it all off, but most men like him aren't loud all over social medias. Minority groups are super loud, but still minorities. This man, in my opinion, is just the average male American. I know 4 buddies just like him lol. That's why I root for him.

The world made him what he is. It's all about survival.

Sean is a comedian

Sean has ASPD, i mean there is zero doubt about it at this point, people trying to turn him into this sweet puppy full of empathy are not really understanding how any of this sht works

You beat the ufc countdown team to calling Sean Strickland a “anti hero”. Shows you know what you’re talking about mate. Keep it up!

nice

No no, he is just he!!! Nothing rong with that!! Be yourself not what they want!! 💪🏻

We need a video on why Sean lost to DDP

Someone isnt a sociopath just because they talk like a guy and didnt live a coddled easy life. He talks just like a veteran or a firefighter or most MMA fighters would. He's just a masculine guy whos been through some shit. He is how men are SUPPOSED to be.

Do a vid on zabit please I'm a fighter from chechnia zabit is my favourite fighter

The anti hero is real, that is why people admire them. Who the hell is perfect ? I sure haven't met anyone like that in my entire life.

I dunno. I think this one attempts to a fit a complex human being into a neat little diagnostic box. It's a bit hit and miss.

Can you do an analysis on Khamzat Chimaev?

Looking more into stricklands background he definitely has ASPD, but I would say sociopathy rather than psychopathy, very similar but sociopaths are far more impulsive and emotional than psychopaths, psychopaths are born sociopaths are made, due to his childhood abuse he became a sociopath

He’s a sociopath not a psychopath

Sean maybe has his flows but unlike his childhood and antisocial character he has people that love him around like nina and his gf and he fights to become a better person everyday

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Sean never be a loser. Sean is not a pretender. Don’t express him like a clown please.

5:33 People who falls on the ASPD spectrum do have cognitive empathy, but the affectionate empathy is the one missing, what you´re talking about is a form of autism where you cannot tell if you´re hurting another person, which isn´t the case in primary/secondary psychopathy.

Like Butters and professor Chaos lol.

he tries to make it about him... the press conference was literally about him fighting adesanya.

🚀

real men fix themselves !!!
