Well, let's not get carried away. Anpo had protective head gear on, plus Strickland had heavy padded gloves - so yes Anpo looked spirited, but without the head gear, some of those blows from Strickland (who was not giving 100%) would have annihilated him! I find it astonishing and some what comical that everybody kind of didn't see Anpo was wearing protective head gear to soften the blows, so yeah - he fought well with EXTRA body protection and Strickland fought naked.

Small cage too, nullifying speed and movement advantage of smaller lighter fighter. Impressive

[@josephdover198]

I can't believe this wasn't mentioned very early on. That is a straight up phonebooth cage. The two amateur MMA fights I had in 2006/2007 were in bigger cages than that. That cage looks like it's about 12 feet from one side to the other. The smaller cage that the UFC uses for Apex cards and that they used back when they would go to smaller venues is 25 feet. I wish that one was the permanent cage used everywhere there's more finishes. Strikeforce used a 26' cage. Primary UFC cage is 30'

[@danielhogan6255]

@@josephdover198 you know what? From just a viewing perspective your telling me a 25 ft cage = more finishes? Then i agree with you. I hate 25 min games of tag or struggle snuggling for the same amount of time so, yeah, 25 sounds like a good number if it means more finishes.

People should check out the full video at Anpo's channel. It's really neat to see. Lots of respect and the subtitles are pretty good, Anpo was very grateful and this gave him a lot of confidence that he was lacking. It was supposed to be kickboxing I think but he injured his shin. He's a good 180lbs here at 6', so like a Nate Diaz. Anpo said his face never looked that bad after a fight before. haha, Sean got a little sloppy at the end but he was just trying to smack the gloves away from Anpo's face. Sean was throwing heavy at times but you could see him back off. Anpo was in survival mode and digging deep with with hardest shots basically every round. Props to him. His movement looked great but Sean just has fighting dialed in so well. All the fat is trimmed in Sean's fighting..the way he pressures and keeps his back from the cage and conserves his stamina, nothing is wasted. Fighting to Sean is like mowing the lawn and sparring to him is like..vacuuming the carpet. Just a prediction, when Sean retires he'll have a TV show where he travels the world and spars fighters of different cultures.

[@HiddenStr3ngth]

Nah, man, if you listen to the kids - Anpo was 150lbs and Strickland 200lbs. At least, if not more. "Sean was throwing heavy at times but you could see him back off" - Yeah, he backed off many times and gave Anpo space to work. Would have been cool to see the kickboxing spar though.

[@josephdover198]

@@HiddenStr3ngth Strickland is in fact heavier than 200 pounds. Pretty much anyone fighting in the 185 division is over 200. You have 170 pounders that walk around that heavy. Strickland is drastically heavier now than when he was a kid fighting down at 170. He looks every bit of 210-215 which makes sense why he looks so miserable during his morning weigh ins. However Anpo HAS to be at least 175 to 180 here. He's not you average Japanese midget that dominates the absurdly light weight division like 122 lbs.

Sean's style really comes alive in these smaller spaces, his opponents can't just backpedal the whole fight, they're forced to actually deal with his aggressive walk-down tactics, and the result is some really dynamic and exciting battles.

It's his endurance, not his power. Acting like he's aggressive is the biggest con ever mentioned about him. He doesn't knock out people. He is all arm and jabs.

140 vs 180 Strickland? Major weight advantage. What kind of BS matchup is this. Strickdick always picks weaker opponents.

[@josephdover198]

Yeah there's definitely a weight difference but you aren't even close to what each of them weigh. The Japanese guy cuts a lot of weight to compete in these 145-155 pound fights and that was when he was younger and naturally smaller. Strickland cuts a lot of weight for 185 that's why he looks like he wants to die during those morning weigh ins. The weight difference probably is around 40 pounds but it's about 175 vs 210 or so. This Japanese cat isn't some midget and he's a professional fighter.

[@エルちゃん-f6p]

If you look at Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition bouts with Nasukawa Tenshin and Asakura Mikuru and compare them with his other exhibition bouts, the Japanese fighters take it seriously due to their honor being at stake, even looking a little bad makes them feel embarrassed.

That's what fighting is, who can out last the other person, that's why stamina is so very important in a FIGHT, who can endure the struggle, and Strickland understands this. In a boxing match or MMA it's pretty much equal in the beginning, until whoever gets tired first, they will lose because they can no longer perform the technique correctly, their body can no longer "fight"

[@joshsatterfield9440]

Strickland is like Perry. He loves to battle and get tagged sometimes. It excites him. It's Crazy lol

[@nhatho1723]

Yeah he was smiling when he gets hit lol

[@davidgregorovic3973]

I'm not sure if regular people understand how heavy the punches are from a professional fighter, I spated a golden gloves guy and thought I was doing great until he knocked me out of the ring with one connect.. ur brain rattles when a professional connects, it's like nothing u have ever experienced... awesome vid

[@victorythroughharmony11]

I understand why Anpo went hard.. Stricklands call out could easily have been perceived as disrespect. Maybe he'll think twice before calling out Japanese fighters again. PS The reason for Anpos poor cage awareness is probably because kickboxers usually fight in a ring.

[@bobanmilisavljevic7857]

Blah blah blah

[@azzifyy5988]

It's funny seeing how easily people get offended. Anpo wasn't offended, they're literally laughing together at the beginning. Sean loves the hard sparring so I don't see that as an issue. I'm kind of surprised that he didn't throw harder.

That’s 100% what Shawn’s fights are like

[@kkent4174]

You're cutting too quick with the edits, can't finish this video, but here's a comment and a like because you're working harder than I am.

Thanks to both fighters, that was entertaining

[@eddiebriggs5030]

Respect to both of them, it started as a sparring match and ended as a War.

[@ChrisDavis333]

Guys a stud, great showing, in probably the biggest opportunity of his career, in my opinion anyways. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the UFC, and I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that this footage lead to his signing. He’s a good fighter, he’s very talented, he has great skills and a great build for MMA, he has a build that could fight him at 145, 155, 170. I’d try to fight at 145 in the ufc if I were him, that division is wack, they need talent.

[@disgruntledgrunt241]

Hammer fist with boxing gloves, Sean is a beast.

[@BossGamer08]

That boxer did the tap on his arm to a liver face, that’s like his most obvious opening and I think somebody most definitely took advantage of it in ufc. Nice work

[@DROWN315]

Only if this was his style in ufc 💀

[@ArabDweller]

It literally is, but in the UFC the cage is 4x bigger and people keep running away from him.

[@Khoisanboogie]

It is. Maybe you dont understand why you can't see that though.

[@pierer91]

People run away from him the entire fight

[@SuperPeterok]

I wish the cage was this size. No running more finishes

[@ProfessorStrange9]

Respect to my man Anpo! Gave it everything he had

[@SaVaGe-513]

The Korean is low key nice tho…. Fast quick hands smart combos and good overhand right to try and counter the Philly shell. Smart lad

[@JackM645]

Hes Japanese not korean and he was a K1 Super Lightweight champ

[@CrayonsYummyYummy]

He’s Japanese lol

Strickland is just a fighter, full stop. He loves it, he is very good at it, especially defensively, insane cardio, and hes not a robot, hes got charisma for days, love that dude.
