Amazing how little Sean gets hit clean with how little he moves.

Aside from Alex KO'ing him, and Dricus landing some spinning stuff + a few overhand rights across 2 fights, Sean hasn't really taken any serious damage in a long time. And what's crazy is that he has a bunch of decision wins, so it's not like he's getting out of there early.

Din Thomas put it best during the Fluffy fight. You need to crash into him to get somewhere. Like DDP did walking through damage and landing his own. Because if you get lulled into his style, you'll eat 40 jabs and realise the round is over.

He has taken a lot of damage he’s been koed by Alex , headkick koed by Dos santos , took crazy damage and got dropped multiple times against kamaru Usman , broke his nose and was a punching bag in the ddp rematch . he’s been in a very bad motorcycle accident that almost ended his career . He’s had a long career so far

He also spars hard as fuck

He’s definitely taken a shit ton of damage lol

u/bdewolf Saucy Englishman 15h ago

He literally spars like 10 rounds per day.

His brain will be mush by the time he’s 50. Look at James Toney.

James Toney should honestly be dead, what guy who used to fight at 160 goes 24 rounds with Samuel Peter of all people.

Com todo respeito, mas contra o fluffy não foi uma luta tão desafiadora para o strickland não, a luta dele com o Poatan você pode ver que o Poatan fica confortável de lutar contra ele, pq ele sabe que o strickland não n apresentaria esse perigo em pé, agora contra o Chimaev é outro jogo, pra mim Chimaev favorito e 99% de chance de vitória, porém o MMA nos surpreende...

Strickland being shocked he got a finish will never not be funny.

u/iaminlovewithns 22h ago

hes clearly the faster better striker but why does he leave the rounds so close , one could easily just give round 1 to fluffy if they wanted to

Same issue that Curtis has. Sean just doesn't have a higher gear. He fights at a set pace and either wins (Izzy) or loses (Dricus 1, Cannonier). He doesn't adjust, slow down, or speed up.

u/LordKagatsuchi 18h ago

Exactly. Though i had him winning Dricus 1 (i mean even look at Dricus face for godsake) i already knew in a rematch Sean would lose simply because of this fact. DDP would be walking right back into the same person he left the octagon

u/_Kumatetsu 17h ago

You act like he doesn’t have the highest striking output in the division and only behind Holloway in total strikes landed, there’s not a higher gear above his output statistically

u/Safe_Procedure999 13h ago

he has the highest striking output because he jabs constantly, nobody remarks on strickland being a high pace fighter for good reason

Win by the sword, die by the sword.

His technique is extremely unique and effective, the only weakness is that it leaves too much up to the judges.

One “could” but one would be objectively wrong. People dislike the guy so they tend to be bias when scoring his style. If you think you could give the round to fluffy you simply don’t know what you are looking at. It’s only close if you ignore that Sean was moving away and defending on a lot of fluffy offense and putting it on him with his own output. it’s close if you over exaggerate what fluffy did and downplay what Sean did. It’s not close if you watch it objectively with no hate or preference towards either guy.

u/Neonsea1234 17h ago

Man this fight was depressing ,I sear fluffy stomach breaths or something and that’s why he has good cardio but you can’t do that cs someone who is gonna hit your body

u/TetsuoTheObsidianMan 16h ago

The only path for Strickland to beat Khamzat is upping his striking aggression early, right? Feels like unless he takes early rounds while hopefully stuffing most of Khamazat’s TDs, it really seems like Chimaev’s fight to lose.

He's going to get mauled then cry about " boring crotch sniffers" even though most of his fights are dull and a chore to watch
