@@blackirish1000 no lol this is not a common result stop with this boxing is key shit Strickland didn't even use boxing foot work Izzy had that. It was Stricklands awkward style that won him the fight
rematch between Izzy vs strikeland will be same result as Izzy will be got tagged again and again! better move on Izzy fighting khamzat or DDD !thats will good for him for stay motivated!
Feels like Adesanya didn't land a single clean hit on Sean the entire fight. Hope he doesn't get the rematch because he's going to fight like a coward like he always did.
Sean Strickland is a prime example of how adversity builds character. From a rough upbringing, to getting knocked out by Pereira, to becoming the Middleweight CHAMP. He kept on moving forward and improving, embodying the absolute resilience and values of a strong man 🐐
Don’t forget his rough bicycle accident who almost paralyzed him and was off for 2 years! Sean Strickland is a « dawg » like said Americans, he deserve so much respect and admiration ! Îm a happy mma fan tonight 😊 Sorry for bad English language 🤝
Sean Strickland not only embarassed Adesanya and Eugene Bareback in the fight, he humiliated the the whole UFC in this presser. What an absolute savage
Ey, the meek shall inherit the earth. Pride and ego was oozing out of Izzy this entire fight week. Just look at the stare down between them two👀. So yeah, Pride is always the downfall. I'm still a huge Izzy fan though 🤫
You ain’t champ until you successfully defend. Buster Douglas knocked out Tyson, then was knocked out the very next fight. Because of that, he’s known more as “the guy who beat Tyson”, than as a champion.
Hmmm.... Remember the press when sean was fighting alex and sean said after alex he was the best striker? Well proved it... I'm fed up with ufc hyping izzy are great striker when he's a glorified counter striker with faints.... He was called out in kickboxing too for just being a counter striker and not having balls to engage... But ufc blames he's opponents for boring fights saying they should've engaged with izzy so that he could counter and KO them... It's absurd but Dana post fight interview shows that he's not even hiding he's favorites anymore... They get immediate rematch but stipe(who was 1-1 against Francis), sterling, Aldo, Eddie etc don't get it... It's pathetic... Alex didn't get it and ufc forced him to move up so that he can win middleweight belt and fight izzy in middleweight division 😅 Dana's money on izzy as double champ failed miserably... 😂
Hopefully. But let’s be honest he isn’t a yes man like izzy and CKB. No chance will they appreciate this man as chanpion. Does izzy deserve a rematch? Not based on tonight’s performance
Sean didn’t just box. He paced Izzy the whole fight and maintained a Muay Thai lead leg. It was actually a masterclass in game planning. Also, people talk about it Izzy’s feints but don’t talk about how jittery Sean’s defense is. That sort of counteracting movement can also overload your nervous system, especially once you start landing shots off elbows and forearms
Izzy is at the point in his career that he's losing his belt just to win it back. He's found a new way to troll. Guarantee Izzy wears a hentai t-shirt to the post fight interview after he wins the rematch😄
Respect for calling out and recognize the interviewer who has been with you since the start. Shows your realness and humbleness as a champ Sean. Well deserved title. Love all the dog stories too hahahah
You can hear how uncomfortable he makes the media when he speaks his mind. Strickland throws a wrench in the whole system and im here for every second of however long it lasts. Haven't had a champ like this in a long long time
Bro looks completely fresh and had the cardio to go for another 5 rounds. A guy who boxed his way into a world title against one of the best kickboxers ever. Incredible.

A refreshing feeling having Shawn as the Champion… Izzy was so weird & cringe during interviews… always trying to overdue and overthink what he would say. Shawn is just himself..
@@chrisconnors9449well he moreso just says what he thinks. I think the sport could use more guys like him. Izzy one of my fav fighters but sean made this fight his. Izzy gotta make the next one happen now, sean did his job😂
@@liamsmith2340ur so quick to call ppl casuals and be as negative as possible… I’d say he has a decent chance to defend it. He barely lost to cannonier and most ppl call it a robbery and he fought crazy well last night so I’d say it’s entirely possible
Strickland is a weird guy but he’s honest and very humble for the most part and from what he was to what he is now in terms of of being a good person is crazy Sean is genuinely a legend and people should respect him
True ...people should check out his interview on JRE....gives a bit of perspective on what his background is and why he thinks about things like he does
Sean Strickland beating Israel Adesanya by unanimous decision is just insane, one of the most shocking upsets in MMA today, MMA's such a crazy unpredictable sport
Yea could be big upset as knocking out can be considered a fluke but dominating 4 out 5 rounds and win with unanimous decision? Now, that's domination and biggest upset.
It was supposed to be a easy fight for Izzy to set up the Izzy vs Du Plessis fight in Africa 😂. Sean just ruined everything, now they will have to rematch this fight and if Izzy loses again he’s done!
The moment in the end where he stands up and gets the belt made me cry. I can see Sean as a little kid getting beat and treated unfairly. So happy for this man
Izzy wasn't off. Sean made it virtually impossible for Izzy to fight his fight. Sean's defence is top notch. I said he would knock Izzy out in the second. I was close. Good for Sean. He deserves this title.
@@danielsmith7324yeap, i will give credit to colby that he tries, but you can tell that he isn't like that, strickland is fun and honest like that without even trying
absolutely true atleast strickland talked the talk and walked the walk, and even when alex pereira beat him he humbled himself and get trained with alex. colby only talked the talk and being cringe by far haha
I didn't think Strickland had a chance in hell to win this fight. He proved me wrong. Well done sir, you fought a hell of a fight and earned my respect.
Not only that but not a scratch on his face. Guy looks the same leaving the fight as he went going into it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s cleared to fight very soon.
Be proud of that Belt Sean! Its amazing accomplishment that nobody can take away from you ever! You completely dominated that fight..Its well deserved!!
Dude. Props to Strickland man. He basically just walked Adesanya down for 5 rounds and took the championship with jabs. My man barely threw kicks and didn’t shoot for a takedown that whole fight. Strickland beat one of the UFCs flashiest with confident boxing. Incredible!
His modified philly shell, slight use of muy thai distance management, and the fact he's got that DAWG in him is why hes the champ. I love Sean hes a national treasure 💯
It’s funny, he’s the most unlikely champion, and yet EXACTLY the champion the world needs. He’s so real, not at all pretentious and a damn good fighter. Huge respect to D’Sean.
Insane... ABSOLUTELY insane...Sean's reflexes, pressure, and defending leg kicks were incredible. My goodness... an old school fighter/boxer against a legend like Izzy.
For real. I felt like this was a real win for humanity and society. A freedom loving American who won't end up at some satanic spirit cooking, drinking a bud lite or a woke cola in a nike swim suit for balls and breasts and sporting a face diaper for good measure. That's why Sean Strickland is the class of champion we so desperately need.
I started crying in the last 10 seconds of R5... he really had a hard childhood, and he couldn't believe he did it. I enjoyed every second.. enjoy it champ
Yeah Bro, Total respect for Sean, Izzy grew up upper middle class and told his servantsss I'm can bath myself now I'm 8 years old. LOOK it up, I don't know why he says he's had a hard life.
my thoughts, I especially like he did not back up from what he said about Adesanya before - as most fighters do and confirm that their trash talk is just trash talk and money-maker they don't mean. He gave him respect, but also stand his ground and opinion.
And still the staff protects their golden boy at the end and cuts the press conference short even after the fight when it's supposed to be Sean's time... really hope they realize quick that this guy is great for pressers and does an inmense work at being entertaining and funny, being favorite to both fans and reporters. He is not harming the UFC, quite the opposite. Appreciate the gift that this man is on the mic
Was clear as well during the fight screaming and getting hyped every time Izzy partially hit Sean’s guard “ahhhh great clean right hand by Izzy” 😂🤔 then calling half of Stricklands clean hard punches as “partial left by Strickland there” 😂😂😂 they really didn’t want this to happen love it
Chinese money maybe but then again he’s doing exactly what Conor Mcgregor was doing basically and the ufc exploded during that time and made a lot of money
@@Josh-up8qm Hehe good one, how crazy is it that Sean crushed his mind before the fight and then his face and spirit afterwards, without a scratch! Unthinkable
@@angelopueyygarcia43 I'm a big fan of Volk, and I like cooking as well. But, Topiria is as good of a challenge as it comes. A top, well rounded and a near complete fighter
Sean Strickland grew up dodging his dad's punches and bear cans being throwed at him, as a young adult he disarmed a man that pointed a shotgun at him - fighting in his DNA.
this is one of the most hilarious and entertaining and honest post fight pressers i have ever seen , so many one line death bombs ! i was sore from laughing .. the fight was great but this was a proper laugh . this will be quoted forever !
I’m really happy for Strickland! Dude is wild and off the chain, but you can tell he is a guy on a journey of overcoming his past. He’s a good man. He frustrated Izzy. Izzy couldn’t land any head strikes, and he was catching him and hurting him every so often. In the 4th round the stats showed that Izzy had only landed 11% of his head shots. That’s wild
I had a real, real, real strong belief that Sean could do it. There is no more dangerous opponent than a maniac with nothing to lose. A guy with amazing skills like Izzy has a problem when he fights someone with a limited skill set but with the passion and desire to die in the ring. I am so pleased for Sean- the guy deserves it. A real, real fighter in the fight game.
knew it would be tough because it was a similar match up to Silva Weidman and Kelvin Izzy. Pressure fighters who aren’t gonna let you get ur thing off. never expected a complete domination though
One thing I learned with MMA and especially the UFC, When nobody is giving a title challenger a chance that's when you put some money on him. I get why everyone had Adesanya too, but Sean is so good defensively. I don't want to pretend I knew Sean would win, I thought he was going to eat 500 leg kicks tonight and lose by decision. Damn though, Sean Had Izzy afraid of that massive right hand after round 1.
He could...because izzy is NOT what himself, or other people try to make him. Did Jan shock the world too? Cause he had no business winning that and was beaten by a tired Glover afer taking the belt from izzy. Izzy came in too hyped...didnt have great fights, but people tried to claim them to be (like silva, romero and gastelum). Perfect storm of deception on his way to where he belongs now, without a title.
@@neart2810 key word "FORMER" people can change. He grew up with those views being instilled into him, but quite fucking obviously hes changed and realized that those views were bad
@@neart2810yeah he did that shit in 7th grade, most young boys do stupid shit… the amount of middle school kids I’ve seen Hitler salute is crazy. Obviously Strickland was a step further but he changed
Love from Philadelphia, in memory of Joe Frazier. Was watching Chael, was watching Bisping. They both knew something nobody else knew. Opened at 626 to 1 odds. Unreal. Thank you Sean Strickland.
Yea the odds were so crazy I had to put some money on Sean lol. Nothing like making money off a huge upset!! I just know Izzy is soft and once he gets hit hard, he gets scared!
@@cvgodd1432 Tbh he has never dropped like that before... he got stunned by periera nd gastelum before but never dropped down like that... i feel like his chin just got weaker..

This post championship interview is an instant classic. Hats off to the champion the world never thought we would see. Every controversial statement he said was laced with uncomfortable truth which made it even more interesting.

I was thinking this during the fight. A masterclass 💯
Your forgetting the up kicks to the mid section and slap parying and other things Strickland does well
I guess a boxer who's conditioned there legs can beat kickboxers, boxer wrestler is probably the best combination
I felt like that's why Sean was going to win he played it well and I can't recall Izzy ever fighting a Philly shell style fighter.
@@blackirish1000 no lol this is not a common result stop with this boxing is key shit Strickland didn't even use boxing foot work Izzy had that. It was Stricklands awkward style that won him the fight
"I fight, because it allows me to train" this is one of the most impressive statements I have heard in UFC press conferences.
It was overwhelmingly based and refreshing.
This man often talks funny, stupid, and harsh things. When he said this, it really blew my mind
💯 agree
Whilst what he says often seems wild... its often shrouded in truth. I guess its why we're all drawn to him and wanting him to succeed.

@@chrisconnors9449well he moreso just says what he thinks. I think the sport could use more guys like him. Izzy one of my fav fighters but sean made this fight his. Izzy gotta make the next one happen now, sean did his job😂
Era? Lol
You shocked the world and prevailed against all odds. My heartiest congratulations to Sean Strickland ..
Well let's see how many times he will defend the Belt Casual
@@liamsmith2340ur so quick to call ppl casuals and be as negative as possible… I’d say he has a decent chance to defend it. He barely lost to cannonier and most ppl call it a robbery and he fought crazy well last night so I’d say it’s entirely possible
@@liamsmith2340izzy fan boy is melting
@@ibox9s Ok casual, let's see how many times Sean can defend his belt😔
Sean is so authentic. Says things as they are.
Yep-he has no filter!😂
Too many people think that is a good thing.
You spelt autistic wrong but yes he’s great… true psychological warefare and true humility fighting the guy who knocked you out that’s why he’s champ
Am Team Stylebender but funny hahaha@@brendanalbertson9462
So much respect for his honesty and openness. Glad to share the planet with him.
Strickland is a weird guy but he’s honest and very humble for the most part and from what he was to what he is now in terms of of being a good person is crazy Sean is genuinely a legend and people should respect him
I take weird over banal, egotists and monotonous cutter cutter clones.
@@SedriqMiersbanal 💀
True ...people should check out his interview on JRE....gives a bit of perspective on what his background is and why he thinks about things like he does
Weird?! Izzy is weird. Not Sean. Wtf🤣🤣🤣
@@Platypus_WarriorExactly! Sean is just a regular dude tbh.
Sean Strickland beating Israel Adesanya by unanimous decision is just insane, one of the most shocking upsets in MMA today, MMA's such a crazy unpredictable sport
It's the best show on earth in my opinion.
Lets be real, it isn't really an "upset" we all were kinda rooting for sean 😂😂😂
The biggest upset in UFC history was Matt Serra and GSP first fight
@@saifabidalbloushiit was definitely an upset. KO not so much. Well done Sean, respect
Yea could be big upset as knocking out can be considered a fluke but dominating 4 out 5 rounds and win with unanimous decision? Now, that's domination and biggest upset.
The miserable look on Dana's face after he put the belt on Strickland was PRICELESS
He had the same look when he put the belt on Holly Holm after she knocked out his favorite golden goose Ronda Lousey. I love that look. LOL.😁
It was supposed to be a easy fight for Izzy to set up the Izzy vs Du Plessis fight in Africa 😂. Sean just ruined everything, now they will have to rematch this fight and if Izzy loses again he’s done!
@@wilykathey bro hahahahaha
i was laughing about that
@@cvgodd1432 No worries Contender Izzy is dangerous too. Now he will be the man who has nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Sean's striking was tremendously high level. Wow, he did deserve it.
The moment in the end where he stands up and gets the belt made me cry. I can see Sean as a little kid getting beat and treated unfairly.
So happy for this man
Izzy wasn't off. Sean made it virtually impossible for Izzy to fight his fight. Sean's defence is top notch. I said he would knock Izzy out in the second. I was close. Good for Sean. He deserves this title.
Izzy won the second
@@dillweed501by one kick lol
@@dillweed501he technically won the boring ass 2nd round, but didn’t win the way Sean won the other 4 rounds.
@@NoleInJax I’m not defending Izzy, I wanted Sean to win. Just pointing out this nigga said he was close, when in fact he was not.

This man is everything Colby wants to be, but with ease.
No rehearsals and pre prepared lines need it
Colby is a character. He tries to be the second coming of Chael. Sean is just hisself
@@danielsmith7324yeap, i will give credit to colby that he tries, but you can tell that he isn't like that, strickland is fun and honest like that without even trying
Agreed. It's totally different, I don't think Colby doesn't try to sell it as authentic and that doesn't make it a bad thing
absolutely true atleast strickland talked the talk and walked the walk, and even when alex pereira beat him he humbled himself and get trained with alex. colby only talked the talk and being cringe by far haha
“Aaahhh Man!!!” That’s how Strickland starts off every conversation 😂😂😂 I love this guy, well done and Congratulations brother🙏🏾
Here's the thing you guys...
@@sembra3803Yeah bro and that too😂😂😂🤞🏽
Let fucking go 😂
"I just wanna kill someone"
I didn't think Strickland had a chance in hell to win this fight. He proved me wrong. Well done sir, you fought a hell of a fight and earned my respect.
Somethin was tellin me to bet on him n i didnt listen like "yeah right"
“Earned my respect “ 💀💀 cringe
I'm sure Sean will be happy he earned your respect😂
Shows what you know!
You’re a casual then
Respect for Sean stood 5 rounds with one of the best strikers and came out with the W.
He didn't just stand he "Wrecked" !!!
Izzy really isn't that good..he relies on his counter striking and Strickland proved how one dimensional Izzy really is.
Not only that but not a scratch on his face. Guy looks the same leaving the fight as he went going into it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s cleared to fight very soon.
Stood 5 rounds? He destroyed him till he literally ran away! Seriously deluded guy.
Unscathed too
Be proud of that Belt Sean! Its amazing accomplishment that nobody can take away from you ever! You completely dominated that fight..Its well deserved!!
Dude. Props to Strickland man. He basically just walked Adesanya down for 5 rounds and took the championship with jabs. My man barely threw kicks and didn’t shoot for a takedown that whole fight. Strickland beat one of the UFCs flashiest with confident boxing. Incredible!
Boxing is the best martial art
@@Rory695 I agree.. boxers are experts at locating chins
He threw kicks up the middle and inside leg kicks what you mean
He kept kicking Izzy right in the gut tf you talking about lol
He threw dozens of front kicks all fight??
Sean is the champion of the common man. Every one who went through a rough up bringing should look at this man and feel inspired. I know i damn am
Having to deal with adversity at a young age either makes you or breaks you. Or sometimes both.
@@nicholasmartin8208 1000%. Spot on, I've seen examples of it in my close and extended family/friends
I don't think there's a more brutally honest person in the entirety of the UFC, absolutely no filter. And I'm here for it! 👌
His modified philly shell, slight use of muy thai distance management, and the fact he's got that DAWG in him is why hes the champ. I love Sean hes a national treasure 💯
First post interview I've heard in its entirety... love this dudes honesty .... so bad ass and not scared at all about backlash
I love the way the Australian fans embraced Sean after the win!!
If you've ever met Aussies before they're pretty much the same people.
Aussies love an underdog
@@djdeckstarA down underdog
It’s funny, he’s the most unlikely champion, and yet EXACTLY the champion the world needs. He’s so real, not at all pretentious and a damn good fighter.
Huge respect to D’Sean.

Dude almost started crying like a bitch in the octagon, 5 minutes later he says he doesn't care lol
What a masterclass performance. Seans kicks werre brutal up the middle and his peg checks were beautiful. His defense was crazy. Hats off
We got a US champ back in the middleweight division. Honestly last night was wonderful. Thank you Sean.
We got a Men as a champ in the Mw division, couldn't imagine that guy surpassing anderson's legacy.
Hell yes!!!

For real. I felt like this was a real win for humanity and society. A freedom loving American who won't end up at some satanic spirit cooking, drinking a bud lite or a woke cola in a nike swim suit for balls and breasts and sporting a face diaper for good measure. That's why Sean Strickland is the class of champion we so desperately need.

He kills every interview he does by not trying and it’s the best! I hope he can hold on to this belt for a long time and keeps clowning on it 😂
This guy said he's gonna celebrate the UFC title by putting spinners on his Hyundai Accent. Fucking phenomenal.
I started crying in the last 10 seconds of R5... he really had a hard childhood, and he couldn't believe he did it. I enjoyed every second.. enjoy it champ
Yeah Bro, Total respect for Sean, Izzy grew up upper middle class and told his servantsss I'm can bath myself now I'm 8 years old.
LOOK it up, I don't know why he says he's had a hard life.
Oh snap, he did? Didn’t know that. That’s incredible 😮. Awesome!

He just became Dana's nemesis and most hated enemy 😂😂😂
@@PaoloCaglioLMTI think Dana likes him
Poor guy had the ego beat out of him, young!
Gargantuan ego. That’s how he is able to do this. Exactly the opposite of what you think.
No ego? That's hilarious.
That was my favourite fighter post-fight presser ever!! I liked Strickland before this, but now I love the man. 100% authentic, repping NDs
my thoughts, I especially like he did not back up from what he said about Adesanya before - as most fighters do and confirm that their trash talk is just trash talk and money-maker they don't mean. He gave him respect, but also stand his ground and opinion.
Thank you Sean for doing this for all of the dogs of Auckland, New Zealand
It's still as funny as the first time someone said it
And still the staff protects their golden boy at the end and cuts the press conference short even after the fight when it's supposed to be Sean's time... really hope they realize quick that this guy is great for pressers and does an inmense work at being entertaining and funny, being favorite to both fans and reporters. He is not harming the UFC, quite the opposite. Appreciate the gift that this man is on the mic
Yes entertaining but he's a PR nightmare for an organisation trying to gain Chinese viewership revenue 😂
Was clear as well during the fight screaming and getting hyped every time Izzy partially hit Sean’s guard “ahhhh great clean right hand by Izzy” 😂🤔 then calling half of Stricklands clean hard punches as “partial left by Strickland there” 😂😂😂 they really didn’t want this to happen love it
Chinese money maybe but then again he’s doing exactly what Conor Mcgregor was doing basically and the ufc exploded during that time and made a lot of money
I mean izzys interview was shorter than this one
@@Josh-up8qm Hehe good one, how crazy is it that Sean crushed his mind before the fight and then his face and spirit afterwards, without a scratch! Unthinkable
Strickland is an example for us all. Grit and determination. And straight talking.
and being a neo nazi

Sean Strickland grew up dodging his dad's punches and bear cans being throwed at him, as a young adult he disarmed a man that pointed a shotgun at him -
fighting in his DNA.
He fought for his life after his rough bicycle accident too!
Sean is the definition of WARRIOR!
Bro needs a movie on him on god!! So does Alex pereira. Especially if Izzy gets one wtf???
this is one of the most hilarious and entertaining and honest post fight pressers i have ever seen , so many one line death bombs ! i was sore from laughing .. the fight was great but this was a proper laugh . this will be quoted forever !

@@DantesPerineum yes his comedic timing and responses are perfect lol
I’m really happy for Strickland! Dude is wild and off the chain, but you can tell he is a guy on a journey of overcoming his past. He’s a good man.
He frustrated Izzy. Izzy couldn’t land any head strikes, and he was catching him and hurting him every so often. In the 4th round the stats showed that Izzy had only landed 11% of his head shots. That’s wild
Strickland is hilarious 😂😂 Breath of fresh air in this PG world
I had a real, real, real strong belief that Sean could do it. There is no more dangerous opponent than a maniac with nothing to lose. A guy with amazing skills like Izzy has a problem when he fights someone with a limited skill set but with the passion and desire to die in the ring. I am so pleased for Sean- the guy deserves it. A real, real fighter in the fight game.
knew it would be tough because it was a similar match up to Silva Weidman and Kelvin Izzy. Pressure fighters who aren’t gonna let you get ur thing off. never expected a complete domination though
One thing I learned with MMA and especially the UFC, When nobody is giving a title challenger a chance that's when you put some money on him. I get why everyone had Adesanya too, but Sean is so good defensively. I don't want to pretend I knew Sean would win, I thought he was going to eat 500 leg kicks tonight and lose by decision. Damn though, Sean Had Izzy afraid of that massive right hand after round 1.
He could...because izzy is NOT what himself, or other people try to make him.
Did Jan shock the world too? Cause he had no business winning that and was beaten by a tired Glover afer taking the belt from izzy.
Izzy came in too hyped...didnt have great fights, but people tried to claim them to be (like silva, romero and gastelum). Perfect storm of deception on his way to where he belongs now, without a title.
I never paid much attention to Sean Strickland.. but I could definitely see me and this guy having some beers and cheers 😂😂 your awesome 🏆 champ
