Credit to the UFC for having the same team that guarded Kennedy once.

If they allow the person to get within arms reach they've failed their job.

“speak English” such a good example for her daughter. So much for her kind being so loving and understanding. They’re all hypocrites. Rocky can’t stand how much everyone loves Sean. She can thank him for her check.

[@chrisvincent9105]

For real I can’t fuck with her . She came off mad ignorant

[@itsallbs8]

Problem is Bueno is an SJW she supported Lula in Brazil, a radical socialist. So to me, both can knock each other out and go home with pockets empty. I couldn't care less. I'm Brazilian btw.

[@arrynbeacon8077]

On averege how many times does Strickland says "guys"?

[@richyyyyyy97]

Here's the thing about this question

[@seattleryan5721]

Sean was starting to go off the rails at the moment this guy came in and disrupted everything. This was a classic diversion tactic. Notice how Dana looks down, lifts up a black cup, and takes a drink...suddenly a man runs on stage and you see what follows. Dana isnt shocked, isnt startled, simply places the cup back and laughs. I bet this was already set up in case Sean started to go a little nuts. Im saying, its a possibility. You heard it from SeattleRyan FIRST. 12:20 But....I am probably wrong...just being a bit conspiratorial. I would def have a plan like this in play if I was the upper management not wanting shit to go wrong or be canceled.

[@atom-bomboriginal6387]

That's the guy from the falls genius Where he wasn't at work but his co workers knew he's a super fan made sean sign a hat . Ufc heard this and got him ViP And apparently dude couldn't contain his excitement You should stop doing drugs and write and assuming stuff

[@DilseDilse-lh2hd]

While fireworks were always predicted for the fight week showdown between UFC champ Strickland and South Africa’s Dricus du Plessis - especially given they were crowd brawling at UFC 296 only last month -- the pair were instead as cordial as two men can be when agreeing via handshake to fight to death

[@JoeFidler]

God bless DeSean Strickland!

[@td1145]

what a joke of a card. sucks that a belt went to either of the women in the co-main it was a clown show. was very sad to show some of the corruption leaking into such a great sport. Daniel Cormier is a sell out saying DDP was ahead in round 4 while the statistics were on the screen showing Sean landing more strikes. Sean looked untouched after the fight while DDP looked like he got his ass kicked in. Anyway, it is what it is, UFC is going woke, no more PPV for me.
