It’s a real shame the way people talk about Sean, but I also think it’s the reason he is so effective. No one can talk about him without mentioning he has a great coach or his opponent was off. It’s the ufc, everyone has a great coach. Sometimes guys have better days than others. Happens to everyone. But it seems like this talk always comes up when people talk about Sean. Dude is just good. That’s all. No need to add all of these qualifiers and excuses. He is a top fighter in the world. All that needs to be said
Before adesanya his best win was against Brendan Allen he would've been remembered as a journeyman getting decision wins over other bums if he didn't get that shot against an off adesanya
seans pretty mid skill-wise and his style is very boring, he only beats cans, otherwise he generally gets dominated by great fighters. sean is a decision fighter lol, hes only a draw because of his personality
You talk as if this guy doesn't warrant the critique he receives. What a pathetic comment. He's a mediocre fighter and a purple patch against Adesanya will never change that.
@@rahmanbabarinde1022 he fundamentally beat izzy for 4 rounds of 5, and the one he lost was only because he didn't throw that much. Izzy wasn't off, Sean broke his game down and nullified the length advantage.
I think this one’s going to be a banger. They’re both showman and I think they’re really going to bring out the dog in each other. I predict it’s going to be similar to Luke vs Paulo. I think Sean’s hungry to get that title back too. We’re definitely going to see a very determined Strickland.
I like them both but Strickland is a man after my own heart and I’ve been in his corner for about 5 years and when he beat Izzy I went fricken nuts he’s the man!!!
In hindsight this was a top 20 championship fight performance. And if we bring in the combination of an upset, easily top 10 upsets of all time in the UFC
Hey Tim you probably won’t see this but could you possibly do a breakdown on why DDP had a bit more success against Stricklands heavy pressure style? It’d be greatly appreciated
I feel like you need someone to bring it to Strickland like Max Holloway does in the center of the cage, just barrage him with chaos. that or a Khamzat type wrestling heavy approach
I wish this fight was not happening because I really like both guys and I want to see Costa go against Khamzat. I believe Sean is in trouble because the version that went against Rob. That version of Costa. Holy crap that dude looks like a freak. I would bet as much money as I could on Costa beating Kamat. Sean is going to have to use his wrestling in this one if he wants to win. Costa has great cardio for his size.
@@BanMetz1zahBp3h are you serious? What literally makes you think that? I can already picture how that fight will go. Khamzat will wrestle with Costa in the first round. By the second round, he will be very tired because Costa is massive. Then Costa will probably wrestle and use his grappling skills because he is very good at it. By the third round. Khamzat will be exhausted because we all know his cardio is horrible and is always tired by the third round. Then Costa will probably win the fight by referee stoppage with throwing a bunch of heavy strikes. If it’s a five. Oh my God. Khamzat has no chance. Don’t forget that man has not even gone up against a middleweight yet. Not once has he gone against someone who fights in the middleweight division.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily Oh no made the fanboy angry and write an essay. Let's see if you say the same things after khamzat deals with whittaker, not fighting in ramadan and hopefully not breaking his hand early on. Plus who has costa beat in 5 years
The fight being 5 rounds really benefits Sean. Costa isn’t because he has too much muscle/weight to carry. Costa, just like against Whittaker, literally has a puncher’s chance and that’s kind of it. But he doesn’t have the kind of one shot KO power that Alex has. He uses his physicality and bully style to break his opponents down by landing tons of hard shots. A lot of it against the fence. But both guys are known for going forward, so I wonder who’s gonna adjust their style and fight on the back foot first. I see Sean schooling Costa and winning this either by decision or late TKO, but Costa could definitely land something significant and change the fight. I just think Sean is too smart and his defense is too good.
He probably should’ve gotten one anyway regardless if you think he won or not,I mean it was neck and neck and everybody seemed to love seeing their energy in the cage and at the presser so why tf wouldn’t they?!?
@@akilbrazier1421 Yeah, Rob wanted to fight him but your boy decided to have a tantrum on social media about an UNDESERVED rematch. Now he can fight no.7 Costa and keep this trap shut.
I think costs plays directly into Seans style and skillset. Stricklands gonna pick him apart like he did Izzy. He'll philly shell Costa into exhaustion by halfway through the 2nd at the LATEST.
I like being contrarian but be real. Costa has underrated cardio, look at his striking output. And Sean has overrated pressure, look at his finish rate.
I like them both, but I think Strickland brings more to the fight however, I remember Costa against what’s that guys name I can’t remember his name was a war
I think costas right body and left high kick are gonna pose serious problems for Sean. Sean in general really falls apart when you push him back and dricus was able to, and costa throws much more volume than dricus
Good fight. Pretty equal. The Philly shell works well for Strickland. He lost the title because he wasn’t active enough. Probably won’t make the same mistske
If the costa that fought rob shows up, he knocks Sean out bad. Costa has never looked better last fight, and Rob was on fire that night and it was just enough to get the job done.
True Anderson Silva is goat... He smashed at 170 then 185 forever and would go up to 205 and knock out fools Silva hit people with jabs going backwards and would ko them.. best head movement plus submission game Silva is best ever
He had 1 fight at 170 and got disqualified. So no he never smashed anything in that division. He was a great fighter for sure, way ahead of his time, but he didn't beat that many great fighters. His division sucked tbh. He has a few wins over legends but mostly guys who wouldn't be in the ufc today.
I think Strickland is gonna fight like he fought Abus, just let him tire early being defensive, and then put then pressure on once Paulo gasses. Its a 5 round fight. Strickland wins a 5 rounder, 3 rounder im not so sure.
Sean beat Jarred and Dricus. Stop just looking at the record when you know better. Lets agree to ignore the official record when we literally all sat here and watched those fights and universally scored it for Sean. Judges got it wrong. Sean won by rules of MMA. Im done with the blatant disrespect.
It's not an easy fight for Strickland but with his skills of cardio and distancing I'd bet he beats Costa unanimously. The only possibility of a knockout in this fight though, is him being knocked out by Costa
strickland like diaz was with conor he wasnt star struck. the respect was never there. the guy spars with light heavy and heavy weights. who was the last guy costa Finished?
Eh Tim, I’ve been following you and Sean for a while, but I’ve learned a lot from you about life, health, and happiness. Love your newsletters and you’re wise beyond your yrs. Much love to you and the fam
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic with the Israel Australia home town comment but Israel is from New Zealand not Australia. We are not the same and not even a connected land mass.
I’m sorry but Costa his hands aren’t that dangerous, he couldn’t wobble Luke (got KO’d after by a former welterweight) and even Whittaker did fairly well after the spinning wheel kick
Yo Tim you gonna be in Helena tomorrow too?? Be way sweet to meet ya man. Love for you meet my son does a lot ji jitsu..has had a very difficult going this year. Your like his idol man. But understand if way to busy... A lot of hospital visits for him didn't get to play high school hoops which almost killed this kid because of health issues.. Turned to ji jitsu and what a life saver. Then he found you bro...😎 on RUclips. Anyway hope to get to meet you guys tomorrow. Have impacted our family in such a positive way.

“At least my dad don’t fuck me” - Suga talking to a guy who’s dad admitted to all kinds of physical abuse but specifically never sexual my abused him 💀
Tim, I normally agree with you on a lot of things but, I see you throwing unjustified shade at Sean!!!! His 15 minutes of fame? He was the talk of the MMA community before he was a belt holder. His IDGAF mentality is what we like about him. He’s a real American 🇺🇸 who loves his country!! WTF is wrong with that? Some of the California boys could soak that shit up.
The biggest thing is Paulo won't back up and let Strickland lead the dance like Izzy did. Dricus caused Strickland problems by making Strickland back up. I think Paulo could do the same. Close fight either way.
Honestly dricus missed a lot of his shots, there’s zero reason he should have won that fight. I think it’ll be a 5 round decision for Strickland I don’t think he’ll ko paulo but I do think he beats on him
My exact thoughts , people seem to think stricklands gonna get run over by costa but I see strickland getting the win after a 5 round battle , I just hope he uses his kicks abit more cuz his lack of variety is what holds him back on the scorecards at times.
morning tim watching playoffs last night Edmonton one the game Canucks almost tied it up how you doing Strickland and Costa that will be a good scrap Strickland needs to faster this fight don't just play rockem sockem shit see how this goes 😊

6:28 To be completely clear here , not even a Cringe Lord fan , but that attempt to kick was sick the way he can make it snap.
I feel like you need someone to bring it to Strickland like Max Holloway does in the center of the cage, just barrage him with chaos. that or a Khamzat type wrestling heavy approach
Yo Timbo, Izzy lives in New Zealand, not Australia.. that’s Volk brother

i like both of these guys , so may the best man win

This bout has a sweet chin music written all over it. Let's go Strickland!
Just got me hyped for the fight
A coach Tim-Eric pod would go SOOOOO HARD
Really hope after Sean secures the dub that he calls out for a chance at the title
He had a major argument for an immediate rematch. If he pieces up Costa he's definitely back in contention.
He probably should’ve gotten one anyway regardless if you think he won or not,I mean it was neck and neck and everybody seemed to love seeing their energy in the cage and at the presser so why tf wouldn’t they?!?
@@nigerianprincewithaids sean is a boring fighter though
@@paulbowden4842 He didn't have any argument for a rematch you delusional groupie.
Really hope he goes against chimaev some day when he beat costa
Let's go Sean
I’d really like to see Sean fight Bobby knuckles
That should’ve been the next fight for both guys for #1 contender status, and Rob said he wanted it
@@akilbrazier1421 Yeah, Rob wanted to fight him but your boy decided to have a tantrum on social media about an UNDESERVED rematch. Now he can fight no.7 Costa and keep this trap shut.
@@Obiodum_ Umm are you talking about Sean? He is not my boy lol. My favorite fighter is Rob after Stipe. I'm saying I wanted that fight for Rob.
Just stumbled on your show. Etc vid bro
I think costs plays directly into Seans style and skillset. Stricklands gonna pick him apart like he did Izzy. He'll philly shell Costa into exhaustion by halfway through the 2nd at the LATEST.
As long as Strickland doesn't get caught by a head kick, he should outlast and snipe Costa for a decision or KO in the 4th/5th.
Sean's constant forward pressure is going to gas Paulo by the end of the 2nd and he will finish him in the 3rd maybe 4th. Maybe.
Not a bad take, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens.
Not a bad take at all
I don't think he has the ability to finish acosta even with exhaustion but I do see him winning if he surivives the 1st round.
Shite take, Strickland doesnt pressure enough to KO a guy with a great chin like Costa.
I like being contrarian but be real. Costa has underrated cardio, look at his striking output. And Sean has overrated pressure, look at his finish rate.
Honestly I would love to see Paulo back in the win column but I feel like Strickland makes it look easy somehow
I like them both, but I think Strickland brings more to the fight however, I remember Costa against what’s that guys name I can’t remember his name was a war
Dude those intros thi ❤😂
Tim, Canelo, and Gaethe walk into a bar...
Yes Paulo will Erase Sean with his Secret Juice powers
DeSean will defeat him with his henny and black n mild
That was Gynosanyas FIRST title defense.
I think costas right body and left high kick are gonna pose serious problems for Sean. Sean in general really falls apart when you push him back and dricus was able to, and costa throws much more volume than dricus
Timbo Izzy is from New Zealand not Australia my man
Good fight. Pretty equal. The Philly shell works well for Strickland. He lost the title because he wasn’t active enough. Probably won’t make the same mistske
Yeh look mate, izzy is no Aussie. Love the show
5:24 fighting the best middleweight of all time? Silva’s long gone from the UFC brother
If the costa that fought rob shows up, he knocks Sean out bad. Costa has never looked better last fight, and Rob was on fire that night and it was just enough to get the job done.
Some animals have evolved to grow horns for a reason. That childhood trauma made a monster
Fucking hell does everyone need their own youtube channel and co host another 5 simultaneously?
Izzy is hometown is Auckland in new Zealand. Not Australia!
True Anderson Silva is goat... He smashed at 170 then 185 forever and would go up to 205 and knock out fools Silva hit people with jabs going backwards and would ko them.. best head movement plus submission game Silva is best ever

Silva has horrible resume compared to other fighters that are considered all time great like jones and Gsp.
Let's go Strickland
Coach, what is the benefit of slapping the punches?
Tim do you have any other boxing bets i can tail?
tim and sean Strickland coach which is Erick i thought they're the same person😂
8:38 why is that a 3/2 and not a 1/2 ?
I think Strickland is gonna fight like he fought Abus, just let him tire early being defensive, and then put then pressure on once Paulo gasses. Its a 5 round fight. Strickland wins a 5 rounder, 3 rounder im not so sure.
If Paulo just head hunts he's going to get embarrassed out there. He hasn't gone to the body in a while and that's what he needs to do.
Sean beat Jarred and Dricus. Stop just looking at the record when you know better. Lets agree to ignore the official record when we literally all sat here and watched those fights and universally scored it for Sean. Judges got it wrong. Sean won by rules of MMA. Im done with the blatant disrespect.
sean wins by costa pull out
It's not an easy fight for Strickland but with his skills of cardio and distancing I'd bet he beats Costa unanimously. The only possibility of a knockout in this fight though, is him being knocked out by Costa
Costa barely got by Luke and rob he’s not that guy ppl say he is

Joe rigs this week on RedHawk recap big red ?
Damn Canelo doesn't even have an accent anymore. If I didn't know any better I'd swear English was his 1st language 🤔
It wasn't on izzys homesoil, Australia actually liked sean more
You remind me of Dexter Morgan
If my boss kept putting me on the schedule without telling me and without my approval, I would leave the company.
Costa will come out hard but strickers will break him down pressure filly shell walking forward like a zombie can't wait
lets go Strickland
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic with the Israel Australia home town comment but Israel is from New Zealand not Australia. We are not the same and not even a connected land mass.
Its not his hometown. He is from New Zealand..
I feel like Sean’s pressure long term will be too much for costa be it 3 or 5 rounds
Is it 5 rounds tough?
Costa has to show up first
it amazes me that strickland missed everything after knocking izzy down
No he didnt
No he didnt
GODDAMN ITS GOOD TO BE A TIMBO FAN
I think Strickland safe bet, so bet it all fellas

I chill, understood 🙏 😅
Dang I like both these guys... But Strickland has a motorcycle in his kitchen... So let's go Sean!
realistically , if acosta can't finish him in the first round he is going to be out worked.
Strictland will win it unless he gets robbed again by Judges
Sean's going to finish Costa in the 4th
“At least my dad don’t fuck me” - Suga talking to a guy who’s dad admitted to all kinds of physical abuse but specifically never sexual my abused him 💀

no hes from africa

Can Costa and Poirier pull off the upsets?

Great insight. you seem to know a little about MMA. Just kidding, appreciate your content.
“15 minutes of fame”, lol. “The freak of nature costa”. Sean dismantled the greatest middleweight ever, costa got embarrassed by izzy.
The best middleweight of all time? Anderson Silva played football?

And I got Strickland winning by judges decision.

He made ho back up by throwing 400 strikes Costa won't do that vs Whittiker he couldn't even do this
Tbf Paolo backed it up for izzy. disapproved 100 percent then blamed it on the alcohol 🍸after he found out he was pregnant 🤣
Honestly dricus missed a lot of his shots, there’s zero reason he should have won that fight. I think it’ll be a 5 round decision for Strickland I don’t think he’ll ko paulo but I do think he beats on him
