Not many fighters are willing to put the belt on the line so quick like Sean .

[@mmaSlayer]

He’s a real 1

​@@rosemarietolentino3218 Sean would beat you in a relationship 😂 he's crazy 😧 jk but he has that crazy factor

[@vapenshred]

Even Alex Peiriera the "stoic king" himself had said in an interview "Something about the way Sean looked had changed" upon entering octagon and the way he was looking at him scared him even though he won. He looks like a total KILLER. Alex does too IMO.

[@jasonfrance4927]

Sean is what colby wishes he was.Colby has pre rehearsal lines.Sean is himself on the fly.

wel he was talking aboud striklands dad abusing him what do you think what wil happen to that DDP guy? i already knowe hes gone DIE lol and he is to stupit to even see it

[@kevinteichroeb6997]

Dricus' comment about Sean's dad really pushed his buttons. I think we're going to see a very different, aggressive, dangerous Strickland in the cage this time.

[@zGJungle]

He will just jab him up like usual

[@tgshark1]

Probably but he's never been an emotional fighter...and the reason he cried on theos pod wasn't over his dad actually...it was becuz he said he stopped believing in God when he was in 3rd grade for the way they treated him in school

[@lordbeezy1349]

that or he'll make mistakes. being hot n angry doesn't make you a good fighter. a cold n analytical one does

[@narutofan4545]

Lol

[@tenispro81]

No we are not. That would be his end. He will keep his distance

[@Timikitusaki]

Sean and Bisping could be brothers. if you go back and watch Bispings faceoff's you will see the spit image of body language. same hand gestures and movements and verbal behavior. it's insane how similar they are

[@timpounds42069]

i thought the same thing for awhile now but couldn't gather the words without sounding like an idiot lol.

[@Luey-E]

Kinda but Bisping was too classy even back then compared to Sean. He didn't ever get as disrespectful but he could also take it much better. Strickland was ready to cry

[@blunt8085]

⁠@@Luey-E? Early Bisping was not classy at all. Fym?

[@TruthHurtzandHealz]

Not even close. This is the WWE, not the UFC of old. You must be out of your mind. SMH. Did you just crawl from under a rock or something?

[@whylook903]

It really is

[@BearMetro]

Way too much theatrics. The best character gets the biggest fights because of how brain dead this fan base is now.

[@TruthHurtzandHealz]

@@BearMetro Bingo. Sean O'Malley has the look of Ronald McDonald and the personality of Ariel Helwani, and his clown fan base loves him. SMH. Dana White is creating these "People's Champions," because it sells. I wonder how much they'll pay Leon to take the dive just so he can hand the belt to Donald Trump. They already paid off Aljo and Izzy.

[@BearMetro]

@@TruthHurtzandHealz I wouldn’t go as far as to say they’re selling out. A lot of them are still pretty talented, but their personalities are from honest. They sell out in order to get more views, by acting like absolute clowns. Damn thing is looking more and more like a circus. The UFC might be selling more tickets and ppv, but they peaked years ago in terms of quality fights.

It’s crazy cuz I don’t think Dricus can beat Adesanya, but I feel like Dricus can beat Sean. Sean has primarily lost to strikers, Ponzinibbio, Dos Santos, Pereira and Canonier. All 4 are aggressive strikers unlike Izzy who prefers to sit back and counter. I think DDP could pull this off.
