It's actually really surprising because Sean is usually the first one to poke fun at himself over his childhood, I thought he'd laugh it off, so I don't know why he's taking it so seriously now. Why is no one else saying that!! He made the exact same jokes about his dad a 1000 of times even on JRE and literally goes at any fighter and their families/wives but cant handle a comment which he always jokes about himself??? gives out to everyone but cant take it its so weird the IQ difference between Sean and Dricus is insane

[@a9029k]

I love Sean but he's making himself look weak. His video after Stephan Bonnar's death proved he doesn't believe anything is off limits when it comes to seeking clicks and clout. White-knighting for Leon Edwards was just an excuse for him to go after Colby. A week before he was starting off a video on Ian Garry with "I don't usually talk about people's spouses but--." Being a hypocrite is not a good look. And stop putting all your personal baggage out there if you don't want your opponents to mention it. He's been lucky to this point that most of them didn't speak English or weren't big trash talkers. Even DDP remained polite until like the 5th time Sean brought up the coach thing or called him a ***.
