its frustrating, yes, but that's how dude fights, and he did win the belt using that style. Can you blame him? He uses the style to open opportunities for kill shots like the shots he used against Fluffy. In my opinion with this win Strickland is ATLEAST and I say ATLEAST top 15
@lividfireye7304 I don't know if this is sarcasm or not but I genuinely think he is top 15, maybe 10, I really want to rank him higher but rn I don't see him as high as other MW greats
Nah Kneed And caved in. Glad all the nut hugger Fluffy has stopped. Odds were insane, fight was over before it started, with the Exception on Strickland.
@edpatronick8472fluffy was in over his head for sure. Fluffy is really good but Sean is exceptional. People act like Sean isn’t a great fighter just because they don’t like him
Also, Sean’s style is just as rare as wonderboys style but Sean has the counter grappling/wrestling skills that wonderboy doesn’t (at least anymore). Sean really is world class and anybody who denies it is a liar
@ImLaughingAtYouNah, when DDP beat him he wasn't salty. I mean, obviously there must've been a bit of salt, but he wasn't a cvnt towards him and just took his losses.
@lazy_nut5725it's not that he got his feelings hurt. He just watches his mouth and has respect for people that guru doesn't, and he doesn't wanna be associated with that kind of crazy talk. He politely asked guru to tone down the racist rhetoric and guru declined and bowed out of the commentary duo.
Here we have another example of a dumb mma fan in the wild. Mma fans are often incapable of understanding basic concepts, such as engagement farming or clickbait titles. It often leads them to embarrass themselves in online spaces.
Yeah. Easy money. I wish I went all in on him. Did a bet on him, then a parlay, and of course bad judging in one fight screwed it, and then Spivac secured the screwing. I had a hunch Spivac was going to win but I went with the hypejob. Never again. Only takes me once to learn. I'm only betting sure things now. Should have put it all on Strickland. There's only a small few fighters I really know-know and have confidence in, and he's one of them, and this was one of those fights.
I hate how people just hop on the hype train and underestimate Sean Strickland. Yes his style might be a little bit "boring", but that's what makes him good. The odds was like +220 lmao. Easy money brother.
Strickland uses the "mantis guard" super effectively. It looks like he flailing his arms but he's perfected disturbing any punching attacks with his arms. EDIT look who runs paramount and you'll have a better understanding why they cut his mic.
@andyb1169 too many Democrats obstructing them at every turn! Look at the media you've been brain washed with! You think ICE is illegal and breaking laws trying to deport people who actually broke our laws! That's how stupid people like YOU are!
Can’t believe the book called TestoGenesis Protocol by Angelico isn’t everywhere by now. If peak performance matters to you, this one is non-negotiable.
I'm glad someone else notices this! I tell people his style is very Wing Chun based and they look at me like I'm an alien and go "Uhh Wing Chun doesn't work in MMA. Derp!" 😆 It's all about structure, position, timing and straight line attacks.
@wigsplatClean fighters should be praised more. I hate Izzy but respect that despite being a lanky kickboxer he (almost?) never eyepokes even if he could win so easy with them
I dont care what anyone says, I freaking love Stricklands style. It always has me on the edge of my seat. It is absolutely not boring. It is not that he does not have other tools, he uses what he needs. God Bless
I love the fact that Sean was just super grappling heavy, but then decided he was just going to learn to beat everyone with hands and teeps only. The knee here was a beaut though.
He’s one of the best defensive fighters I’ve ever watched. He is hard to hurt. Puts into perspective how good Poaton is. I could watch Strickland all day.
I feel the same way. All the ones that hate on Seans style i get it. I watched Strickland for the first time when he got back from the MC accident. Theres a beauty in his simplicity and defense. They know what hes going to do but cant do anything about it.
@SnailshroomIf the majority of comments are calling it out, then it's not a very smart way to "engage"... but, you sound like a low iq rage troll, so it's not surprising you would defend it.
@J0nny_Ch1mp0 Bro you still are too slow to understand what engagement farming is. Negative comments are still good 😂 Bro pls learn some things or google what it means bratha. If you were saying smart stuff I wouldn't target you slowpoke 😂
Strickland is the only fighter I'm not yelling "JAB" at my screen when I watch. He's also super underrated because of his perceived "boring" style, but I like it, I think it's fun to watch from a more technical perspective. Also artificially underrated because people don't like what he says, which is bonkers.
People call Stricklands style basic, what they don't understand is it's not basic he could do more but he doesn't he's a minimalist. He prioritizes structure, position, timing and throws a lot of straight line attacks. He does only what he needs to with as little sacrifice to those things as possible. His style isn't 'basic" it's a testament to refined simplicity.
It's because he's an Orthodox fighter fighting southpaw, DJ. That's why the jab is so strong and his takedown defense. He's already positioned for scrambles
I think you need to be quiet. You're saying that the goat, one of the top two ever, can't analyze a fight .that means you don't know what you're talking about that guy is a great analyst it takes a great analyst to be a good fighter and he's a f****** legendary one what the f*** are you talking about
6:40 , Sean times a bad counter and ends up kissing Fluffy's right and they both crash, which then Sean trips over himself circling out of the crash trying to find his feet again....that's all
Because DJ is the epitome of hard work and discipline and Sean just had natural talent and didn't even start pushing it till the last few years. I think there's a jealousy in the natural born talent Sean has and DJ sees it as him not taking full advantage of it. I might be projecting tho just my take.
@aibakhtaknz it depends what you mean by fake. If it's fact, that's one thing. If it's subjective opinion then that's pretty gay. Also, if your opinion (or even facts) change your perception of other facts, that's pretty gay. As far as genes go, I'm not too interested in that tbh. They're in totally different weights and styles and I'm not very intellectual in MMA like DJ I just think it's pretty lame to let opinion, gossip or even social "facts" change the way you see reality. But like I said, I'm not a pro or even a novice in fighting so it's just my 2 cents. Either way, OP comment is fact and it's a little weird and almost everybody can tell
When this fight was over I told my buddy I finally watched an entertaining Sean Strickland fight. He looked fantastic against fluffy. He hasn't looked that good since he beat izzy
I fukn love Sean Strickland! All the trash talk he spins, His candid honesty about his own personal experiences, His cyborg-on-low-batteries-walk-you-down fighting style, Beating up amateurs and youtubers in the ring for no reason. Perfect fighter character!

I think I've talked myself into Khamzat vs Strickland at the White House lol
Strik it's not Khamzat lvl. Easy money for Khamzat😂
@-sly-9980 Just wanna see activity in the division 💯
@Mighty15xhonestly the guys sean wrestles with at the PI are elite i think he has a pretty good chance
strickland would perform better against khamzat than imavov
If Strickland wasn't a white republican. ,NOBODY WOULD CALL HIM A FRAUD 😂😂😂😂 RACISIM + GAY LIBERAL MEDIA = FAKE NEWS
How is he considered not legit? Insane.
People get annoyed at how outspoken he is, and then decide that means he doesn't know how to fight. That's how stupid people can be
yea his defense is insanely good in striking and wrestling. hes elite. theres just alot of ppl who think there experts but dont have a clue
if the things he says make you upset that means he’s not an elite fighter
The title is to trigger engagement
They forgot he's a former champion
Being bald is the best base for MMA
Bald Connor
Or inbr3đ. And if they're inbr3đ and bald... watch out!
Wow you're actually right lol. GSP, Silva, Jones, Fedor, Mighty Mouse, Volk, Aldo.
@VinMan303 except him😂
Easier to slip head locks
Its black history month, DeSEAN ain't LOOSING
Loose? His non-champ victimhood
@aidanmandude🙄
Losing*
Losing*
Sort your life out.
@mojorisin8368 youre getting deported buddy. Dont worry about me
Sean Strickland has developed knees to the body at the ripe age of 34
People forget man
@kdiigxstole my comment lmao
I mean who does that?
He didn’t even train
I didn't even know penguins had knees
When Strickland actually lets his hands go he's elite. It's so frustrating when he doesn't
its frustrating, yes, but that's how dude fights, and he did win the belt using that style. Can you blame him? He uses the style to open opportunities for kill shots like the shots he used against Fluffy. In my opinion with this win Strickland is ATLEAST and I say ATLEAST top 15
@THEREAL_-PLOKOThe former champion and number 3 ranked guy is atleast top 15? What an amazing take. Your torch lights the way.
@lividfireye7304 I don't know if this is sarcasm or not but I genuinely think he is top 15, maybe 10, I really want to rank him higher but rn I don't see him as high as other MW greats
he fights very economically
Watch sean strickland vs imavov. When he's beer belly d'sean he can fuck anyone up
Fluffy got outclassed
Nah Kneed And caved in. Glad all the nut hugger Fluffy has stopped. Odds were insane, fight was over before it started, with the Exception on Strickland.
@edpatronick8472fluffy was in over his head for sure. Fluffy is really good but Sean is exceptional. People act like Sean isn’t a great fighter just because they don’t like him
Also, Sean’s style is just as rare as wonderboys style but Sean has the counter grappling/wrestling skills that wonderboy doesn’t (at least anymore). Sean really is world class and anybody who denies it is a liar
Deported.
@trickers24 sean is a true mma fighter
I still think Sean beat dricus the first time
For sure. Second fight Sean was injured but still took 25 minutes of a beating. Guy don't make excuses period.
100%
Yeah he was in commie canada and the6 disnt like his remarks. Ps canadian here, agree with strickland 😂
@edpatronick8472 cope fanboy
yeah i thought so too, then i saw their faces after the fight and knew so lol
Sean is very disciplined in the ring. He sticks to his program. Hilarious in his interviews, truly a national treasure. Lol
He's too nice after fights though, which annoys me. If Hernandez and Izzy beat him their post-fight interviews would have been way more insulting.
@ImLaughingAtYouNah, when DDP beat him he wasn't salty. I mean, obviously there must've been a bit of salt, but he wasn't a cvnt towards him and just took his losses.
@Nowan2015he won the first fight
@ImLaughingAtYou he just enjoys the fight and has a good time
Need Strickland on the Mighty cast since Paramount decided to cut his microphone
fat chance. 3:30 unc can barely bring himself to say “sean strickland victory”
Wym? Mighty had his feelings hurt by words like 2 months ago (Guru). Stick and stones- I guess!
This maltezer will never have Strickland on after how he walked the dogfiddler
@lazy_nut5725 What was said? If you don’t mind me asking
@lazy_nut5725it's not that he got his feelings hurt. He just watches his mouth and has respect for people that guru doesn't, and he doesn't wanna be associated with that kind of crazy talk. He politely asked guru to tone down the racist rhetoric and guru declined and bowed out of the commentary duo.
"UFC champ is legit??"ahh question
Here we have another example of a dumb mma fan in the wild. Mma fans are often incapable of understanding basic concepts, such as engagement farming or clickbait titles. It often leads them to embarrass themselves in online spaces.
@Snailshroom You must think you're so tuff for this comment, huh? Lmao 😂
@Snailshroomok grandpa it's past bedtime, don't forget to take your pills too
@cryo3572 ikr wat a cool guy🤣
@Snailshroom they can't help but prove your point
The Strickland bet was the most sure I've ever been about a bet, thanks Desean I don't know what DraftKings was smoking
vegas had a mass hysteria event this weekend
This was my second bet, my first was Gaethje Vs Paddy because I thought the odds looked off too.
Easy money
Yeah. Easy money. I wish I went all in on him. Did a bet on him, then a parlay, and of course bad judging in one fight screwed it, and then Spivac secured the screwing. I had a hunch Spivac was going to win but I went with the hypejob. Never again. Only takes me once to learn. I'm only betting sure things now. Should have put it all on Strickland. There's only a small few fighters I really know-know and have confidence in, and he's one of them, and this was one of those fights.
I knew I should have placed a bet, and didn't.
Strickland must of seen the comments 🤣😭😭
Must of?
Have*
Like the other guy, sort your life out.
Bro got CTE without ever fighting😭😭 Tito is this your alt account🤣😭😭
@si-bang-sat🤣👍🏼
@moj@mojorisin8368tomato tomato
I hate how people just hop on the hype train and underestimate Sean Strickland. Yes his style might be a little bit "boring", but that's what makes him good. The odds was like +220 lmao. Easy money brother.
I'm paying my rent with this shit, easiest money I ever got
@THEREAL_-PLOKO Quite literally the worst line I've ever seen from the odds makers. Had my pops convinced to put money on him too. Well worth it
Its disciplined, not boring
Stands toe-to-toe with absolutely anybody
The internet in 2026: "this is boring"
fr it was completely reasonable to have fluffy favorite but those odds were absolutely absurd
Notice in all these pictures Sean’s hands are closed. Give this guy some recognition for winning without eye pokes and using hand defense.
WE chinned fluffy to the body
You and who else?
@ReciPeatsOrg me
@ReciPeatsOrgWE!!!
@aquacleaning4994 I didn't see you in the ring.
@ReciPeatsOrgthen look again pal, WE were there.
Mythical Fighter: Juan Strickland
Strickland uses the "mantis guard" super effectively. It looks like he flailing his arms but he's perfected disturbing any punching attacks with his arms.
EDIT look who runs paramount and you'll have a better understanding why they cut his mic.
What is Teansformers for a 1000 Alex😂
Strickland got promoted after that fight and now he's the director of ICE 😂😂
He'd unironically do a better job. Maybe he'd follow the fucking constitution and the court orders.
@matterking1 🤡
Get him on the border defending via jab
@matterking1 hed do a better job because he would actually get deportations done. Unlike the current admin who has barely deported anybody.
@andyb1169 too many Democrats obstructing them at every turn! Look at the media you've been brain washed with! You think ICE is illegal and breaking laws trying to deport people who actually broke our laws! That's how stupid people like YOU are!
Can’t believe the book called TestoGenesis Protocol by Angelico isn’t everywhere by now. If peak performance matters to you, this one is non-negotiable.
Every man should know this title. Shame it’s been buried for so long.
Was about to comment: wtf he just finished Abus magmedov recently what are you talking about its been 3 years..... It was in 2023, fuck😭...
Time flies in this sport like crazy
Suspended for a yesr also.
i mean it is 2026 lol thats three years
Brendan Allen too
His Wing Chun/Hand fighting/Defense is way underrated. He blocks well and disrupts his opponents guard to get his own shots in.
I'm glad someone else notices this! I tell people his style is very Wing Chun based and they look at me like I'm an alien and go "Uhh Wing Chun doesn't work in MMA. Derp!" 😆 It's all about structure, position, timing and straight line attacks.
With closed fists and no eye pokes. Give this guy an award for winning without fingers in the opponents eyes.
@wigsplatClean fighters should be praised more.
I hate Izzy but respect that despite being a lanky kickboxer he (almost?) never eyepokes even if he could win so easy with them
5:21 "He looks like he's getting attacked by bees." LMFAO!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was looking for this comment
Mighty Mouse wrong prediction AGAIN.... 😂😂😂
As someone who grew up similar to Sean he's my favorite personality in the sport because he always keeps it real.
Mythical refresh pull
fr
I stg bro 😂
I dont care what anyone says, I freaking love Stricklands style. It always has me on the edge of my seat. It is absolutely not boring. It is not that he does not have other tools, he uses what he needs. God Bless
Theres a beauty in the simplicity of Seans style.
STFU Jeromy. You can't genuinely tell me his fights against diddyp2 and costa were entertaining
I love the fact that Sean was just super grappling heavy, but then decided he was just going to learn to beat everyone with hands and teeps only. The knee here was a beaut though.
"Fluffy doesn't know what the hell is goin' on... like he's getting attacked by bees." Description was oddly accurate. 😂
@5:27 "its like hes getting attacked by bees" 🤣
That actually made me laugh 😂
Sean was also able to deflect many punches by Fluffy just by raising his shoulders at the correct time. Impressed.
He’s one of the best defensive fighters I’ve ever watched. He is hard to hurt. Puts into perspective how good Poaton is. I could watch Strickland all day.
I feel the same way. All the ones that hate on Seans style i get it. I watched Strickland for the first time when he got back from the MC accident. Theres a beauty in his simplicity and defense. They know what hes going to do but cant do anything about it.
He was in the best shape I have ever seen him for this fight, absolute savage
True! In the second ddp fight he was in bad shape. He had staph infection.
He’s always been legit he beat your boy Izzy and made him look easy, never forget
Sean’s post fight cage interview- I liked the respect he showed.. love it!
Strickland is like UFCs Stone Cold Steve Austin. Gotta love that guy.
Oh hell yeah
Fluffy getting attacked by bees🤣
The irony of DJ acting like Sean’s boring when he couldn’t sell a PPV if his life depended on it 😭
Dude If I were press I'd literally start my own live recording on the side and have everyone watch Strickland just ramble for 15 minutes.
People call him boring cuz he speak the truth and fight straight forward
Paramount is gay for cutting Strickland’s interview imo
I dont need mighty mouse to tell me he's legit. I've known he's legit.
Mma fans are so stupid they don't understand what an engagement farming title is 😂 You and like fifty other comments parroting the same stupid comment
@SnailshroomIf the majority of comments are calling it out, then it's not a very smart way to "engage"... but, you sound like a low iq rage troll, so it's not surprising you would defend it.
@J0nny_Ch1mp0 Bro you still are too slow to understand what engagement farming is. Negative comments are still good 😂 Bro pls learn some things or google what it means bratha. If you were saying smart stuff I wouldn't target you slowpoke 😂
Sean just keeps coming at ya never see him tired his energy preservation is peak
American hero Sean Strickland !
SEAN STRICKLAND IS LEGENDARY
Dude Sean had 111 Strikes and 110 of them were significant. Darn good!!
Sean's ground game is underrated af imo
Him and Gaethje both have good wrestling but people doubted it before their recent fights.
Paramount cut his mic during post press conference. Welcome to the new era of UFC censorship lol
Sean's physique is like he exclusivley punches for training
Strickland is the only fighter I'm not yelling "JAB" at my screen when I watch. He's also super underrated because of his perceived "boring" style, but I like it, I think it's fun to watch from a more technical perspective. Also artificially underrated because people don't like what he says, which is bonkers.
"Attacked by bees" 🐝 🐝 🐝... 😂
sean strickland spotted watching himself from the crown 12:38
Now I wanna see Sean vs the comedian Fluffy! Just for the press conference alone?
People call Stricklands style basic, what they don't understand is it's not basic he could do more but he doesn't he's a minimalist. He prioritizes structure, position, timing and throws a lot of straight line attacks. He does only what he needs to with as little sacrifice to those things as possible. His style isn't 'basic" it's a testament to refined simplicity.
It's because he's an Orthodox fighter fighting southpaw, DJ. That's why the jab is so strong and his takedown defense. He's already positioned for scrambles
Gotta train with Sean. CONTENT
Saying "like he's getting attacked by bees" so casually 😂😂😂
I think its safe to just call it the Sean Shell now. Its been adopted and modified into his own defence.
Its not just a shell he uses , its an active guard , his hands are always moving and ready to fire back and also defend.
@GeckoKidMarko ya, the Sean Shell uses active hands.
The deshawn shell
Strickland, "controlled the void!"
Crazy anyone would call him a fraud!
love you mighty mouse legend
1:24 He was on the backfoot most the fight 🤦♂️ also the title is bullshit obviously he’s legit. mighty is not a great fight analyzer.
He doesn’t like the brotha Sean. So raciss
I think you need to be quiet. You're saying that the goat, one of the top two ever, can't analyze a fight .that means you don't know what you're talking about that guy is a great analyst it takes a great analyst to be a good fighter and he's a f****** legendary one what the f*** are you talking about
One thing no one seems to wver mention, is Sean's ability to just stand up like it's nothing, when he gets taken down.
Please bring back the Mighty Guru show!
Nah dj doesnt need this dumbass
Na guru doesn't need to be censored
Next Mighty journey in Teixeiras gym? 👀👀👀 With Strickland+Pereira?
6:40 , Sean times a bad counter and ends up kissing Fluffy's right and they both crash, which then Sean trips over himself circling out of the crash trying to find his feet again....that's all
I love the breakdowns please keep doing them. I love you hearing your take and using your experience UFC.
The betting odds are 100% based on Fluffy's last performance, and that's it.
UFC should just create an interim title for MW to keep it interesting, since Kumshot doesnt fight very often.
The odds that mighty says “bah bap bap” in a video is -99999
I’m stoked to be on this train before I left the station early COVID when my boi had like 8k followers 😂 let’s go Sean
Hahaha love this 😊🙏🏾
It's interesting how reckless he is with his words, yet disciplined and methodical in the cage.
Strickland occupies the same space as holloway in my mind. Dudes only 34 and he's been in the UFC for 12 years. He deserves respect.
" it's like he's being attacked by bees" that's a like a subscribe right there for me
Mighty Acting like he wants to see the Sean press conference but cancels MMA Guru for the same thing lol
If he were to be a fraud then what would that mean for your mate Israel, considering Strickland schooled him?
Black Chinese or Something ... Another one Sean had no chance. Keep doubting, the odds are wonderful.
Sean's record speakes for itself.
The only thing I figured out from this fight was that fluffy has absolutely zero take down offense
It has been a while since I saw him fighting. This is a good experience!
Bro, im not a fighter and have never even been in a fight, and that jab gives me chills its so pretty lol
UFC really thought he would beat Strickland lol. Now he fucked up their plans. 😂😂😂
DJ needs to be a commentator or a breakdown analyst for the ufc
This dude know his stuff...i bet he could do alright in the octagon.
He just gave him that 8 piece combo on the chin😵
He finished that German guy, almost finishes izzy
That was one of the safest most skittish fight I've ever seen.
strick proved that there is a HUGE power gap between top 10 mw's and top 5 mw's
I don't fear the man that has practiced 10000 moves 1 time, I feat the man who has practiced 1 move 10000 times
We can all thank Sean's abusive dad for creating Sean Strickland.
Man I like this sort of videos I actually gives me motivation to work out and become better
Why is DJ like passive aggressively throwing shade at Sean lol
Because DJ is the epitome of hard work and discipline and Sean just had natural talent and didn't even start pushing it till the last few years. I think there's a jealousy in the natural born talent Sean has and DJ sees it as him not taking full advantage of it. I might be projecting tho just my take.
@PoohhNanisuch a ridiculous thing to say. DJ probably just didn't like the fact that Sean says things he didn't believe in just to get clicks lmao.
@aibakhtaknzthat's significantly worse in my opinion but sure
How is not liking fake dudes a bad thing? If anything DJ is the one with the good genes(other than height)@PoohhNani
@aibakhtaknz it depends what you mean by fake. If it's fact, that's one thing. If it's subjective opinion then that's pretty gay. Also, if your opinion (or even facts) change your perception of other facts, that's pretty gay. As far as genes go, I'm not too interested in that tbh. They're in totally different weights and styles and I'm not very intellectual in MMA like DJ
I just think it's pretty lame to let opinion, gossip or even social "facts" change the way you see reality. But like I said, I'm not a pro or even a novice in fighting so it's just my 2 cents. Either way, OP comment is fact and it's a little weird and almost everybody can tell
thank you Mighty, sleep well.
When this fight was over I told my buddy I finally watched an entertaining Sean Strickland fight. He looked fantastic against fluffy. He hasn't looked that good since he beat izzy
Sean got that agent 47 type of look
weird ass noises commence! been looking forward to this one DJ
Funniest quote I've heard in a while. "Fernendez doesn't know what's going on, am I being attacked by bees?"
Who tf thought Strickland was a fraud? Fluffy just got fraud checked
Great video!
8:12 BS, this is where he pulls his knees up, blocks kicks and goes for front kicks
100%
Diddyp literally used this exact tactic to 50-42 Sean in the rematch lol wtf are you talking about
New Mythical Beast has appeared "UnderDog Sean Strickland!"
Freaking DJ making us watch both ads all the way through....
I fukn love Sean Strickland!
All the trash talk he spins,
His candid honesty about his own personal experiences,
His cyborg-on-low-batteries-walk-you-down fighting style,
Beating up amateurs and youtubers in the ring for no reason.
Perfect fighter character!
