Masterclass for strickland

The fall of the dog-bender. beautiful performance by Strickland.

Awesome reflexes from Strickland and keeping his opponent close to him to avoid tricky moves..... good job👍

Damn, Strickland was like a mirror in this fight. You kick? He checked. You punch him? He parried. You throw hook? He counters it with a jab. Dude has answered for eveything 1:1.

*50-45 domination was better than a knockout.* He dominated Izzy at his own game, except he was moving forward and making him miss. What a G.

Sean completely neutralized Izzy's feint game. This was a matchup nightmare for Adesanya because Sean feints like that in everyfight.

Push kicks, jabs, and a one two, Beat izzy. That's wild.

I could not believe my eyes in that last 30 seconds of this fight Izzy knowing damn well he was losing the fight, backing up and Strickland coming at him screaming and Izzy just kept backing up not doing nothing

I watched this fight a second time and I love how calm Strickland is and how he throws those light body kicks.

Strickland's mentality is just different man. A true underdog story and inspiration!!

4:55 en ese momento, Cell sintió el verdadero terror

Amazing fight. Strickland controlled the distance and never over-committed to a prolonged attack.

Sean fights how he talks 😂 right in your face lol

Great Proformance By Sean Strickland!

Peleador del año Sean Strickland ❤

Complete dominance by De'sean

Izzy didn't want to be in there in round 3. Those body front kicks hurt him. That 1,2, was on point.

One of those instances where controlling a guy over 5 rounds is every bit as impressive as a flashy finish. Dragged-out kickboxing matches are Adesanya's bread and butter. He hypnotizes guys with his quickness, gets them to just stand there frozen while he chops away, mostly at their legs, for 25 minutes. This kind of fight SHOULD have been right up Izzy's alley, but Strickland just bossed him around all night. Izzy was never really even in this one.

Adesanya Won The Running Man Boxing Marathon 😁😅 Great Job by Sean! So glad the belt is now in the USA, 🥰🎶🥁🎉

Strickland se golpeo mas veces a si mismo de lo que lo golpeo Adesanya xd

Ufc giving us all the fights

Everyone underestimated Sean and thought he's going to lose. Sean shocked everyone.

Bro its like Strickland had ultra instinct in this fight. His defense and ability to check kicks and parry is just immaculate. I cant stand when ldiots say that izzy looks slow. He literally looks exactly the same here as he's always looked fighting everyone else. Izzy just has never fought someone like Strickland, who has masterful defense and very solid boxing. Izzy had zero answers for Stricklands style... Thats why they say styles make fights. Strickland completely shut him down. He couldnt do anything to Sean. Izzy doesnt look slow at all, he just looks outclassed.

This fight was an absolute master class.

Second time viewing this. Absolute beat down by Strickland. Izzy was wobbling by the end and his face was a mess. That outpouring of rage by Sean at the end was borne of a lifetime of emotional pain and bad childhood memories.

notice how DC sneakily slipped in the idea of a 3-1 for Adesanya?? He would've ran with it if Jon didn't kill that thought right away. DC trying to be slick.

"The best part of talking shit its when you actually deliver" Lo mejor de hablar mierda es cuando cumples lo que dices que harás como hizo Strickland

Strikland is a super man ❤❤ you 🙏

This is honestly one of my favorite fights ever. I remember in the moment not believing what I was watching.

Seans gonna keep that same pressure on Dricus forcing Dricus to feel the need to brawl and probably land some clean shots on Sean. But if he doesnt put Sean out in the 1st or 2nd.. that pressure doesnt let off and Dricus gonna be mouth breathing and possibly survival mode for the rest of the fight.

Strickland.. Absolute monster in body, mind and spirit that broke the opponent.

Izzy just running the whole time...Sean is like "fight me"

Con golpes clasicos y basicos del boxeo gano la pelea, bien ganada!

This fight is a testament to the importance of training versatility vs mastering one style. When you go the route of mastering one style you have to be so good at it that it beats everything you will ever face. When you train all areas and become well rounded you have many game plan options. It is a common denominator between all the great dominant champs, DJ, GSP, Jon Jones, they all excelled in every aspect of mma so they could have other paths to victory when they faced an opponent that matched them or was better in a single area. The best thing Izzy could do is just 100% focus on training grappling or alternate striking styles so he can have secondary paths to victory other than his back foot counter striking style.

Haha. The end is so funny 😂 homie was in hulk mode

It is one of my favorite fights of UFC history.

Strickland - tremendous defense and constant pressure.

*Strickland looked LESS damaged at the end than he did at the start 😂*

Strickland just entering his prime

Literally the most inspiring moment in MMA history, perhaps even sports history in general. From a broken home and shitty background, got knocked out his last fight, but still managed to dominate the middle weight champion, while being like a 9 to 1 underdog. It actually inspires me that all these betas saying “you can’t do this” are full of shit

Yes Yes Yes Well done Sean.

So crazy that the best middleweight counterstriker couldn't even get a SCRATCH on Sean

I live in Europe, and I went to sleep, I was like, I was too tired to wait for UFC, Izzy will win by a decision anyway... First waking moments and looking at all the notifications on my phone were wild

Strickland at the end was pure

Strickland send home adesanya to Nigeria

Strickland had Adesanya backing up the whole time!

Strickland un puto makina me gustaría verle en un combate de boxeo estaría bien saludos desde España

I love this Dude!!!! Sean Strickland 2024

Strickland on his Peak, great Fight

How could you not feel your soul leaving your body squaring up with Strickland and his death stare.

The Greatest comeback of all sporting history 😅

Ufc español subiendo las peleas en inglés

Sean's defense though!!

5:00 has anyone noticed the guy getting all excited in the background? 😅 Dude was having the time of his life

Best fight watching experience for me. I hate Adesanya

I watch this izzy beating twice on Sundays 👍😁

One of the best game in recent UFC history. This one and Leon vs Usman.

That was like facing a horror movie vilian. Sean just kept advancing no matter what. Such a great fight!

Damn, I wanted to see DuPlessis kick Izzy butt. Congrats to Sean! He did a hell of a job shutting down Izzy's Snake Charming act.

SEAN IS IN MY TOP 5 UFC ..!

Who actually likes Adesanyas style? Guy back peddles all fight and only goes for counters.. he's never the aggressor.

Esta pelea la vi mientras estaba de viaje en ee.uu, fue increíble!

Izzy mad tough. Crazy chin. Got to admit that. But wow on strikland

Sean sounds like he cracks hard without too much effort

Strickland !!! 👏✊✊👌

Piękna wygrana, oby więcej takich sukcesow

Prime Nick Diaz vs Strickland. The trash talk would sell more than the bible.

He looked exhausted…..I think those push kicks to the stomach took its toll

This reminds me of Jason in the Friday the 13th movies ! Strickland 💪

Never give up on your dreams

What kind of champ is he. All time running away.

Strickland just goes forward not afraid of Adesanya.

Performance of the year 2023!

Strickland is a badass....Kinda reminds me of Nate Diaz...Always moving forward....Absorbs EVERYTHING and seems unfazed...Stamina beyond measure and totally fearless....

Gracias por esa joya UFC, se ganó bien con mi caballo Strickland, Feliz 2023 gente

The peoples champ.feels good man.

Quien diria que el counter ideal Izzy que pudo vencer a base de striking a Brunso , Robert y Pereira seria Sean xD

La clave???? No retroceder y así lograr que adesanya corriera de temor

I'm so happy for Sean Stitklin , I'd never thought I'd finally see the day when someone would beat Isreal Israel Adsanya and my boy did it . Maybe now Israel will stop showing off with other opponents and fight like a man . Congratulations Sean .

props for whoever manage the channel and put the ads during end of rounds

The first time Izzy got his bell rung and Strickland knew it while keeping the rythem..

Crazy how Izzy actually barked 😅😅😅 right before round 1.

Strickland is a very impressive fighter.%100 .

Que bárbaro ese adesaña no se cansa de correr debería ser velocista!!😂😂

Strickland bertarung dengan tenang penuh percaya diri

Por algo Sean es diosito

Ay I don’t know how Adesanya survived those bombs at 5:09

Adesanya coach: run,run,runnn...

Grandma: Adi don't mess with a Strick please 😂

Thanks, way to go Shawn. ✌🏻👊🏼

For the first time i clap the quick boxer's for strictland good work po. I am one your fans❤

Sanya just running away like I'm sure his dad did.

I'm happy for Sean he seemed really focused for this fight like he was a man on a mission

NO MAN TH AT BEATS OFF TO CARTOONS IS GONNA BEAT ME!!!

Sean has amazing reflexes

Un campeón que se pasó huyendo del combate.

15:32 that was crazy dude, that precision is insane

Es para mí la pelea más técnica en la elite ñor campeonato alguno en este 2023
