Crazy energy - I was just there but didn't get in. It was a full house, doors opened at 4:00 PM EST and people had been waiting since at least 2 PM. I got there at 3:30 PM, didn't get in, and there was a long line behind me that stretched blocks. People outside could hear the energy inside the theatre and were cheering and booing along with it.
It’s a good sign of his authenticity bc he’s like dude if we’re eye to eye we’re fucking scrapping then and there. I could never see him take a staredown serious
Seemed like a cope, I don't like playing arm chair psychologist but I don't think Strickland likes this process at all. His hobby is sparring, this is him at work.
This presser has proved that sean is far smarter than anyone gives him credit for. Went from villain to hero in less than 30 mins, dudes a genius on the mic.
genius is a stretch even for a strickland fan. he was just honest enough to realize the feedback he was getting from his own supporters(unlike ian garry) and instead of doubling down, he just admitted his mistake by sayin "he broke character" and just go too emotional letting words hurt him and that goes against his very pro-freedom of speech stance and image as a monster insulter himself. also he watched the presser back and realized it was sean o malley that started the sexual child abuse accusations not Dricus. more fighters need to admit their faults more like sean strickland. he knew he would appear as a hypocrite if he kept getting too mad over words.
@TA-hf6si I'm from one of them to be honest... Before, I was like, "OK, he's entertaining and funny" but now, with his political opinion with Canada... For an American speaking... "Thank you! And now I like you even more!"
It was actually kind of amazing. But DDP also did what he had to and shit back on the audience. So thrilled Sean is becoming a star. Really pray he wins.
@@E1530-f6btheir problems go deeper than just their leader. I think if we just get rid of trudeau then all that will be left to fix is either what Trudeau did or shit that I doubt will ever be fixed.
I think Sean has had the quickest rise to fame out of any fighter. Just 2 years ago he wasn’t very well known and nowadays everybody knows Sean Strickland.
@@VedantFalcon He could definitely shop in the more upscale stores (KMart/Target/DG) without being noticed. The people in Walmart probably thought that he worked there and wanted to get a price-check on something.
Everyone said it was crazy not to do the rematch with Izzy, but look at this. This just proves how much fans wanted this fight and how much people love Dricus and DeSean
Sean's energy and character has taken a massive level up in terms of growth and respect. I want him to remain the champ primarily to keep this up. Spinning the hate we've seen from fighters into demanding his fans applaud his opponent is radical
It's called control. Controlling everything and everyone. Dricus now knows what it's like to train at Extreme Couture. Sean pays gyms fees so he can boss people around all day.
@@tyl3rb-fw6ee that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying it's refreshing to still see very competitive fighters being respectful and delivering on a great build up to a fight
24:15 The fan running up just to say hi to Sean, and everyone's reaction to it after they pulled him off stage(including Dana and Dricus..!!) was actually one of the more wholesome press conference moments I've seen. 🤣🙏🏻👌🏻
The one security dude after the whole situation was over, acting like he was gonna walk over there and do something to a guy that was already subdued was some mega beta shit tbh.
@@elonfux2492 fr I think dana is starting to realise that. As long as Sean doesn't do something stupid he'll be a big star (already is one to an extent tbh)
@wadeg428 • My fellow South African. I know my brother but hai we need Dricus to win😅. His our only representation in UFC. If he loses I'll know what bafana bafana fans feel like. I don't wanna know what bafana bafana fans feel like 😅
I won't be mad if Sean wins, but I will be over the moon if Dricus wins. RWC V2.0. Imagine some of the Boks being in the crowd to back DDP, like he did in the RWC Final SA vs NZ. Goosebumps.
You'd never guess it for how much people like to act like victims of the crowds and press trying to cancel sean lol. it's all supporters and they can't stop pretending to be victims.
DDP is a brilliant wrestler and BJJ specialist, Sean tried to strike with the best striker in the UFC, DDP will easily take him down and submit him, he has 10 submissions in his professional career.
Dricus knows the mentality you need to have. He believes he’s the best and if he keeps up his record it’s hard to argue against it. That being said he did say he wants to clear his division first.
I am glad to see these two being professional and respecting each other. Sean really won me over when he won the title, even more when he defended Leon.
We Canadians have been waiting for a guy like Sean to be the voice of reason, abrasive or not everything he said is true. normal Canadians care about our country and hate what Trudeau has done to it. The overwhelming majority of us agree with Sean %1000.
As a dumb American, I have no idea what’s going on over there and why everyone wants change. Is there any source online that covers all his controversial policies since taking over?
They always do the same, Mcgregor went to court for the attack on the bus and they still used that footage, if a fighter kills his opponent's friend they are gonna capitalize on that 😂
he dislikes brawls that get too chaotic(like Khamzat and Holland's team getting into it backstage) and don't add to the sales but if they do add to the sales you know he clearly loves that shit, but he has to publicly condemn it to keep the company look clean
@@mattmas6628 casual. Anyone that actually watches these fights week in and week out know DDP is all gas no breaks. Most people with a functioning brain know how fun his fights are.
Just got home from the presser, it was absolutely amazing! Been waiting since 2018 for them to come back to toronto, the energy and atmosphere was unreal!!! Cant wait for saturday !!!
Sean has the energy & support of every Canadian that cares about freedom in this fight. Think about that for a second. That's a substantial amount that has rarely been seen before. His comments have resonated, gone viral & shared by everyone including those who are not even MMA fans. He wins this fight, he's a superstar. He loses, he's still going on successfully with his HUGE supporter base. *The People's Champ.*
He has admitted on multiple occasions that the Left Hook of Alex is lethal and now he is regularly training with Alex so probably won't backstab him like that.
8:38 "To the stage first, an undefeated phenom who has taken the UFC by storm. He's a perfect 17-0 and doesn't seem to be slowing down one bit!" Camera zooms in on Dana walking out 😉
@@JonathanAllan-xd8neBetter than Conor IMO cos he speaks things that would of got Conor cancelled Conor said some crazy stuff but Strickland is on another level with that he says
It’s hilarious when people said Sean wasn’t a promotable champion “like Izzy” guys an absolute superstar and a UFC gold mine and one of the realest to step In octagon
I love Sean but if you're Dana, having Sean as champ is a nightmare. He's against trans (they need to be knocked down a few pegs anyway), he shits on UFC sponsors, he shits on former champs and hall of famers. For all the money he makes in PPV, he'll be losing more in advertising, they hate him and brands don't wanna go near him.

She's actually better than Peña imo. Best thing Pennington could do was to criticize the English of a foreign person... I hope Mayra wins for the sake of WMMA🙄.
Sean is growing and healing through the sport that saved him. I think what resonates with the fans is that he is true to himself and acknowledges that he is not a perfect human being. I think people are tired of this facade that most of these fighters have put on stage just to sell a fight, play it safe to retain their position for money status. The sport needs this because true MMA fans love seeing that triumph in a person who is going out there to compete for the love of the game and can care less about the belt and their records. This brings me back to pride days where your routing for a guy that wants to actually fight, and win or lose you respect them a lot for giving it their best.
A few years ago who wouldve thought sean would be champion and a fan favorite.... The energy he gets from the crowd is amazing...i was one of the few that betted on sean against izzy and everyone called me crazy... Seans defense is so elite hes gonna take ddp to deep waters and capitalize on his sloppiness... Sean made izzy one of the best and accurate strikers in mma history miss more than anyone in his career and nullified everything izzy threw and made him look amateur!!! AND STILL!!!
I'm a huge fan of DDP; how could you not be? He has the mindset of a champion, and I believe he would make a great champion… but whether you like it or not, we need the Sean Stricklands of the world. 👋🎤
Yeah, It's a weird when normally against nearly anyone else you'd be rooting for either of these. I can't remember the last time to truly great people were fighting. Love Dricus, but man, it will be sad, a tragedy after what he did with that journo pos today and just being 100% real for him to lose his belt.
As a South African I love Strickland. The rivalry between Strickland and Du Plessis will forever be remembered as one of the best rivalries 🔥 in the middleweight division 🎉
Hey, if there is a war, likely to see a 2nd fight and maybe trilogy. The potential is there- 2 guys that always go forward and fight! No retreat in these warriors.
Best damn press conference in a long time! Super hyped for this first 2024 ppv! It was all crazy but dam Mayra Bueno Silva with the KO on the trash talk! 😂
@@jayn6943 english is not my first language and actually I work for a American company where I used it the whole time for calls and chats so I know hot it feels and yeah that wasn't cool at all
I think it’s cause dricus was understanding about Sean reaching out about his comments and there’s a mutual respect now. Even if Sean loses the belt, they will have a mutual respect
Sean is a monster! DDP is a killer! I hope this fight is a 5 round war, and kinda close but a decisive winner...maybe a 4th or 5th rd finish, after a quality war! Maybe a classic! Love the spirit! Sean is truly stepping up to the plate like none other! Love it!
Man, who could imagine Strickland would be the best Champion ever, what he says needs to be heard!! I'm from Brasil,🇧🇷we have the most badass champ ever, but… this man is much more than another champ. Hope you get the job done, you deserve that!! 👊🏻

Sean is growing and healing through the sport that saved him. I think what resonates with the fans is that he is true to himself and acknowledges that he is not a perfect human being. I think people are tired of this facade that most of these fighters have put on stage just to sell a fight, play it safe to retain their position for money status. The sport needs this because true MMA fans love seeing that triumph in a person who is going out there to compete for the love of the game and can care less about the belt and their records. This brings me back to pride days where your routing for a guy that wants to actually fight, and win or lose you respect them a lot for giving it their best.
Not the press conference I expected. 34:46 that f'kin smirk wiped off by a bomb! Gives me chills...
29:38 Sean literally doesn't care about the belt.
Can we just crown Sean as the new “people’s champion”. He reminds me of stone cold acts like a heel but the crowd
Loves it
Insane level of support for Sean...
People’s champ
Aww Sean is so sweet sticking up for DDP. That guy is genuinely a good person and doesn’t even know it.
Strickland speaks for the people! Canada is rooting for ya. Let's go 01/20 ! 🇨🇦
Good luck to Mallot! I like that dude
Sad how barriault never got a question bahaha @@timchurch2390
@@timchurch2390same love Mike Mallot. He’s gonna win.
He speaks for the ignorant. Thanks for self identifying.
Well some men are alpha. Some are beta

A few years ago who wouldve thought sean would be champion and a fan favorite.... The energy he gets from the crowd is amazing...i was one of the few that betted on sean against izzy and everyone called me crazy... Seans defense is so elite hes gonna take ddp to deep waters and capitalize on his sloppiness... Sean made izzy one of the best and accurate strikers in mma history miss more than anyone in his career and nullified everything izzy threw and made him look amateur!!! AND STILL!!!
This was my favorite press conference in forever.
It had a touch of the golden mcgregor times
How? It was fucking 12 minutes lmfao this was a joke
@@jackboyd7398 are you the guy who asked Sean about his tweets in the media day interview?
@@Filip-xx9ljBetter than Mctapper the clown
@@byrittraetherby1672 💀 bet u thought that card was amazing too
Do you guys have any idea how insane this main event is going to be !!? Man
Nope. The event has peaked out at the press conference. Nothing is gonna be more entertaining after this point
We had McGregor era... Now we have Sean Strickland era... 🤩🤩🤩
That Canadian reporter is probably crying somewhere for the reception Strickland got in Canada 😂
the mainstream press is the enemy of the people as long as the country is zogged out, and Canada's media is same as America's, ZOGGGGGED
Hopefully!
I bet he's trying to get his little friends to pass a law prohibiting people to cheer for Sean
Typically UFC fans are not snowflakes thats why
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a huge fan of DDP; how could you not be? He has the mindset of a champion, and I believe he would make a great champion… but whether you like it or not, we need the Sean Stricklands of the world. 👋🎤
Yeah, It's a weird when normally against nearly anyone else you'd be rooting for either of these. I can't remember the last time to truly great people were fighting. Love Dricus, but man, it will be sad, a tragedy after what he did with that journo pos today and just being 100% real for him to lose his belt.
Reminds me of L.A KNIGHT FROM WWE
the best thing for me would be a draw or double knockout LOL Because I love both fighters, but we need Sean as a champion.
As a South African I love Strickland. The rivalry between Strickland and Du Plessis will forever be remembered as one of the best rivalries 🔥
in the middleweight division 🎉
There isn't a rivalry.
…what, what? No. Not even a little bit.
Hey, if there is a war, likely to see a 2nd fight and maybe trilogy. The potential is there- 2 guys that always go forward and fight! No retreat in these warriors.
Best damn press conference in a long time! Super hyped for this first 2024 ppv! It was all crazy but dam Mayra Bueno Silva with the KO on the trash talk! 😂
I don't think I've ever seen a fan run up on stage to try and get an autograph from a fighter!! You can't deny Sean Strickland is that guy!! 🔥💥💯🤣
Sean knows how to move the crowd.
Mayra was incredible on the mic and with the crowd, despite knowing barely any English
Yeah. Never watched her fight but I'll be rooting for her. Pennington trying to pull out Gilbert Burns vs Khamzat was pretty lame tbh
Yeah I agree! She's got some fire in her
I believe she will dominate this fight, btw Raquel has a horrible record
True. Hope that she deliveries. Lame of Raquel to make fun of her learning how to speak a second language.
@@jayn6943 english is not my first language and actually I work for a American company where I used it the whole time for calls and chats so I know hot it feels and yeah that wasn't cool at all
Sean did a 180 on his attitude towards Dricus. It was like he was talking about his teammate, zero thrash talks
I think it’s cause dricus was understanding about Sean reaching out about his comments and there’s a mutual respect now. Even if Sean loses the belt, they will have a mutual respect
Dricus put sean in his place
In the embedded they shook hands and hugged at the hotel. So they seem pretty chill.
it clearly backfired
well yeah, he begged Dricus to stop so how would he look if he comes back and talks shit again
Sean is a monster! DDP is a killer! I hope this fight is a 5 round war, and kinda close but a decisive winner...maybe a 4th or 5th rd finish, after a quality war! Maybe a classic! Love the spirit! Sean is truly stepping up to the plate like none other! Love it!
Its always feels like Christmas when Sean Strickland fights!
Honestly I wasn’t has hyped for this fight as I’m now after this press conference. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the Energy from this Crowd,I was in the crowd and it was crazier than the broadcast made it seem
UFC had to add a 25 minute intro just to get people to click. This was a 14 minute presser
This felt like an old school UFC event!!! Badass Toronto way to represent 🇨🇦
Sean and Dricus are both stand up guys but deep down we all want Sean to win!
Nah cant wait for ddp to sleep sean
"whenever you fight I sleep, everyone sleep, dana sleep!" - filthy animal
Such a good setup for Pennington to comeback with something good tho and she missed it
@@themorphers8628 ”come back with somerhing good”
Guy who couldnt make up ”something good” either
I’m Fuckjn dying 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭”filthy animal”
Mayra is exactly what that divison needs right now. 😂 shit was a top 3 highlight for this one 🤣
Lol
23:17 Mayra Bueno is awesome!!! Best moment of the press conference
'I am just trying to get through the next 15 min' You can actually feel that
Sean Strickland is the hero that no one expected
God bless Strickland regardless if he wins or loses any fight in the octagon. He's winning in life. 🙏🏻
Finally a racist you can relate to gets a W

Wether its an airport or local supermarket or a UFC press conference, Alex spawns out of nowhere 🗿🗿🗿
Pereira appears everywhere 😅
Sean Strickland = man of the people
The MAGA incel "people"
Man, who could imagine Strickland would be the best Champion ever, what he says needs to be heard!! I'm from Brasil,🇧🇷we have the most badass champ ever, but… this man is much more than another champ. Hope you get the job done, you deserve that!! 👊🏻
I love a good ole UFC press conference. It’s like a warm blanket by the fire place with hot chocolate after working outside in the cold 🥶
Sean getting emotional about people appreciation, must feel good. Good for him.
