Have you ever been more excited for a fight...this is more like a war ..

[@300winmag]

That will be your little secret😂 what are you excited for to watch a guy chicken peck someone and stand there 😂. He is the most boring is perverted clown show in the UFC. And the whole thing was a setup for Dana White's little gambling habits lol. Strickland is so bad he couldn't beat his way out of a wet paper bag !! Everyone's drooling to go for the title because it's an instant win everybody knows Strickland is an absolute 100% joke😂 This will be your little secret😂

It is only respect, if this channel can get the pronunciation of the next world-champ correct. It is not Drycus!!!! Also get the damn spelling right. In SA, surname-prefixes like "de", "du" are in lower case.... UNLESS it is written in ALL CAPS. That is true respect.

Dricus got a Robert that was not in his prime

[@1sraelAdesanya]

If this was DDP doing this instead of Sean, Sean would 100% say something like "What kind of grow ass man cries in an interview to another man? You are suppose to be a man! bottle that shit up and do you thing" or something like that. Sean never had to let the world know about his past, he opened himself up wide and then threw the most shit talk at everybody. That was his appeal, that he didn't give a flying F*ck. Its like watching a Pro wrestler break character for the first time, its never the same again.

Somewhat off-topic but I think that's why Jon Jones doesn't care about fighting Tom Aspinall. If he wins, in a few months someone new will just pop up and the public will demand he fight that person. If he loses then he tarnishes his record for nothing. UFC fans are incredibly fickle as well as forgetful.
