THE GOAT

Sean “the Aussie “Strickland

Ozzies will fight for freedom of speech now

Yesss Australia has that magic.

Love to Australia from America 🇺🇸 🇦🇺

Gotta love how hard that makes it for people to make excuses for Izzy

@@Theo-yp4unI’ve seen so many Izzy fans saying it must have been rigged 😭😭 they’re trying to cope so hard

I agree, you can't even push for a rematch either with a comfortable victory like that.

Lmao how are KOs lucky. he knocked him out and STILL didn’t finish the fight

@@37H662 who got knocked out?

Fk yeh! So gd he won

@timw4432 So he's now a literal scum of the Earth. Nice😎🥂

Copy that mate, from a hermit Aussie in the bush 🇦🇺✌️🐶🐾🦘👍🌅🌄

He needs to go defend his title in Australia (I’m 🇺🇸)

@@Aussiek9bodylanguage do u get lonely out in the bush?

Leon also

you re happy because you hate izzy, not because you re a Sean fan, if i asked you to tell me three fighter he fought before Izzy, you won t know without googleing it...

@@alexsimion7190 perreira, magomedov. Cannonier. I could name more buddy. I'm a Sean fan. It's hard to like Izzy the puppy f*cker and cartoon jacker. I've been watching MMA since before you were probably born. Fact is I'm happy to see Sean win because he's a likable dude

⁠@@alexsimion7190your right I am new to mma but I have know about Sean since he went on Joe Rogan which caused me to cheer for him during the fight

why yall so friendly for leonn 🤭🤭@@redeyez444

Izzy only lost because he didn’t have his dog with him this camp for the usual pre fight pleasure, I think his Sifu/Sensei ate it😋😋

Ooh they found Izzy weakness finally, if the counter doesnt work then in frontal fight Izzy have big problem, especially if the opponent doing great in boxing/muaythai, Izzy just doesnt have takedown ability/submissive manuver to reverse the situation 😂

@@DannyDemonz😂😂😂

Alex exposed Izzy . Now everyone will do a fight camp if they are fighting against Izzy

@@opposite6956 After round 3, Izzy even cried to the coach that he didn't know how to punch Sean in the face 🤣

You don't get in the top 10 in the ufc by just running your mouth lol

Mi héroe 😢

dont speak for me. I said all week sean would win

I thought he had a good gas tank lol

No, "casuals" thought that.

I think his patience in not over committing when he landed was such a huge factor that's going a bit overlooked - he showed such good composure !

Now he is going to lay in a bathtub, put some rose petals in and look 🏳️‍🌈! 😂😂😂 Already a better comedian that Schaub

He beat him, arguably like 50-45 or maybe worse, I really do think it was the biggest upset in UFC history, not ONLY because he beat him, but because he beat him, by decision, while never going to the ground. His camp practiced grappling the entire camp, and he won with only a jab and a front kick over and over. I'd say it was the biggest upset in modern history personally

Especially since he got Koed in the first round by Pereira so we all thought Izzy could do it too

It was so crazy, it was like he was somehow just immune to Izzy. Feels like the epitome of "styles make fights", normally Israel is able to use his feints to set people up, to throw off their rhythm and get them to leave an opening. But it was like Sean was completely immune to that! Probably because of his crazy defense, he didn't respond that much to Izzy's faints because he was very successful at blocking even Izzy's real attacks, so he was just able to keep walking forward and keep Izzy on the back foot the entire fight.

Anderson, Nunes, and Ronda losing all felt bigger.

@@michaelthomas8147can’t forget Matt sera knocking out gsp

Hahaha so true

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

💯😂

Niceeee

keep on man\!!!!!

GG man!

Me too, for that entire story, farm included...

gimme a job

No doubt! Good take

Imagine if he thanked Alex during his winning speech lol

Beat Blachowicz when Izzy couldn’t too

Add one more... Beat the only then man who beat Izzy at light heavyweight

Alex Pereira is in the Hate Hall of Fame

he's referencing what Izzy's coach said at the press conference, the opposite of what a casual would do@javier7782

I get he was the underdog but did you guys think he was going to rollover and die? He has many fights in MMA. He is a great defender and a great striker.

Tf you mean? He's been winning lots of fights.

Facts!!

@@noahx.classicdid u really think he was just gonna sit there and let izzy kill ‘em? I mean really

When did he said that ?

@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 on the Pereira press conference

People thought he was capping 🤣

The edits with him saying that are going to come thick and fast like Izzy is for his dog

Bruh 😂😂😂😂

It's like the Madden curse

Izzy looked weird but Sean looked great. I remember Rob lunging at Izzy and thinking how horrible of an idea that was and then that lean back hook confirmed it. Sean did the opposite and never lunged, just held the fight in that tense range. Beautiful fight, showed I don't know anything and I couldn't be happier.

Sean was the first person to answer Izzy running away like an olympic sprinter. Without that, izzy has nothing. @@justinkennedy3004

He's a girl bro. Back in his homeland of China, they call him (Izzy or isn't he?) 😂

To be fair, Izzy is the 3rd cover athlete, I think for the digital versions, with Volk and Valentina on the main cover.

Best comment in this thread 🙌🏼! Good analysis!

To say that he sees everything that Izzy throws is just wild.

@@ronrr2334 he kinda did see everything that Izzy threw, literally none of Adesanya’s counters worked against Strickland.. he almost got TKO’d in the first, nearly all leg kicks were checked or evaded, and struggled fighting on the back foot…

@@BarakaUglyyAhh yea it was awesome. To do that to Izzy who is believed to the best striker is just freakin nuts

@@ronrr2334is isn’t even a good striker you casual al he does is counter and his pathetic game got called out by the Philly shell baby 😂

Izzy is just an overrated striker he is maybe the best counter striker in the ufc but can't do shit if he actually has to get forward.

As soon as the calf kicks and feints weren’t working it was wraps for Izzy

"so-called best striker"*

Volk is the best striker no doubt about it.

If a great boxer knows how to apply pressure and learns how to check kicks it is game over for a kickboxer. They aren't near as good at close and midrange. Check out Kattar vs Giga as an example.

Oh it's not even close. He's said before that he doesn't even train, he just spars. And it paid off tonight. I'm so happy for him

Dude does 10-15 rounds in sparring

yeah, tho his style is really conducive to sparring since he really doesn't get hit much. Or maybe he developed it cause of how much he spars

​@noahahlers4740 he said for this camp all he did was wrestle and check leg kicks. Otherwise he just sparred. AP is also the secret weapon behind his improvements. AP said he won't go back down to 185 as long as Strickland is champ.

uh oh another Merab@@DoubtingThomas333

nah Rockhold is way more hated than Izzy

​@@JJbones88its close

Nah man Rockhold never molested his dogs

​@@godskingdom14Caucasians love their dogs it's weird...we eat them here

Yes and no. Bisping got a ko which can be a fluke. Strickland won 4 of five rounds. It's hard to win that convincingly by a fluke

Until the next MMA match

@@centripetal6157 Guess what bro? He’s not joking when he says the belt doesn’t mean shit to him. I grew up with a shitty life just like him. He’s an inspiration to societies throwaways like me, if he could accomplish something then who the fuck knows maybe I can too. That’s something that can’t be taken away from him like a corny ass gold belt.

He is the Mayhem of this era.

​@@centripetal6157wrong kid

Just like Cloud vs Sephiroth

he was emulating Mayweather and realized that he was so much better at pure boxing than Izzy that he just walked him down and had no respect for Izzy's offense which was mostly just keg kicks and whiffs. Just imagine what an actual legit elite pure boxer with a few years of MMA training could do in the UFC. Scary to think about.

- checked leg kicks

@@rabbitscryptos7757maybe not that much because Sean also knows how to wrestle and throw leg kicks, which are a boxers nightmare. I imagine it would be hard to learn good tdd and leg kick checks in a short amount of time, especially with someone (a boxer) who is so set in their ways they’ve been doing it for so long. That way they’re set into is very easy to take down or leg kick.

@@ShoahBiz This is a very common misconception plus the guy said elite boxer with a few years of MMA training. Not just a boxer going in. I would imagine he's also talking about what they would do to Israel Adesanya who is a kickboxer that transitioned to MMA. Israel has serious flaws always trying to draw out a reaction so he can counter off the back foot. He doesn't pressure or shoot takedowns. Now back to a elite boxer with years of MMA training versus an MMA fighter. For one they have such good footwork that you can cut an angle to stop a takedown. It's not just straight up Chuck Liddell type sprawls. Anyway an elite boxer would have knocked Israel's head clean off his shoulders if he hit him as clean as Sean did. There's a video out there of Don Frye in a hotel lobby when he was in his early 40's and he got into it with a boxing trainer that was drastically smaller and mid 50's in age. It ended very quickly and very badly for Don Frye against a man that had been retired from boxing for 2 decades.

He manifested it!

He didn’t in this fight. He has before like when he got KO’d by alex.

How does that work?

@@oggyoggy1299 Show how humble he is. Unlike China man that doesn't stop preaching about his greatness

He did it for us!

​@@holidayumson2529he did it for china😂

@eobardthawne5954 I mean you aren't wrong. They probably didn't want to claim izzy either lol

Don't let the haters get wind of you calling Izzy a legend. They're on their way to crucify you as we speak. 😭💀

Yes when everyone said he looks nervous during the walkout I just thought no he looks super focused.

Aussies

You could tell Dana was pissed during the interview. Talking about an immediate rematch after Izzy lost 49-46 😂. Isn’t Izzy 4-3 in his last 7 fights?

@@Whaleindowed 😂

Dude is really meta, breaking the 4th wall almost, lolol 😆

Globalist puppet dana lost his shi

The part where Sean said the belt means nothing to him hit Dana harder than a prime Tyson. Strickland is a purist and the people relate to him. Dana wants to promote the hype and the glamor and Sean is like the antithesis to that. 😂

Hunter and dana ....no one cares about shelby

Sean is from Australia

He grew up in California

Great fact 😂

Is that a joke? Sean is as American as they get

@@anonymoose2474 chill

Dogs are yummy..especially in stews

Men of culture, we meet again!

45-55 sean izzy in my eyes he had a great chance to win it wasn’t upsetting to me

@@Sheahova45-55? What

That's what Dana does. He makes excuses and allowances for his favorites like Connie, DC and Israel but low-balls the underdogs like Sean. Either way it's egg on his face.

It’s cause Izzy don’t deserve a rematch after a 5 round schooling so they need a narrative

Dana was right cos he did look off but Sean was dominant throughout and got the gold. Brilliant win

@@exodusdiva2295he was off cause he was ALMOST KNOCKED TF OUT IN THE FIRST ROUND ALREADY

@@thoththeatlantean1226Lol ALMOST but didn't. Izzy was off and better fighter won on the night

What happened?

​@Yeye13455 He was born in a dirt poor neighbourhood, his dad beat the shit of him from his first memories. His dad was an alcoholic and tried to kill his mum. Fosterhomes. Drugs. Gangs. The usual poverty sort of thing.

Let's hope he doesn't kill or rape anybody.

​@@boushbash3133he won't he's changer

​@@realMaverickBuckleyyou forgot the accident

Wtf..He literally cried in the octagon after winning

Feel you right there, took him 1 minute to get over it

Hahahah savage

he deserves it for being super cringe online

More like - 500000

No more Chinese rations for him

his gf changed him for the better, Eric his coach said he won the belt because of her positivity in his life

Sean is 100% Australian.

Sean is from Australia

He's Australerican, his majesty transcends the bounds of nations.

You should have seen it on TV it was amazing

That's such a weirdly cringe statement, he represents the common man. As if most UFC fighters were born with silver spoons? They all represent the common man. In fact, it's extremely common for the common man to become champ. I like Sean a lot but the dumbness of his fans is gonna become annoying pretty quickly.

@@RedceLL1978 brother say that again but this time without tears streaming down your face

@@RedceLL1978 well, a lot of them become Conor type weirdos with cars drugs and shit like that becoming everything except a common man. They might be pf common origin but they sure put a distance to that commonness as soon as they can. I don't see Sean becoming like that so he is and will be a common man.

RedceLL1978 Izzy was. Sean is the true rocky little bro

Khamzat smeshes him

​@@slee2695can he win a middleweight fight against a ranked opponent first Jesus Christ

You’re out your mind if you think there’s no rematch lol

Racist Izzy should fight Dricus and winner should fight Sean

dog = no no

Not only that, he did it without a single takedown, after his camp focused entirely on grappling, and against someone who is entirely known for striking

​@@anonymoose2474 all that grappling training is gonna come in handy later down the line

Nothing shocking about it

And the kicks up the middle

Aye Teeps and front kick's were awesome.@@thefly1203

I was actually really surprised Izzy didn't have more dynamic tools to work around Sean's defense. I am really happy for Sean but his style is very one dimensional and it's really weird that's all it took to outclass Izzy. But I guess Sean isn't 33 and 5 for nothing, it's very very effective and he does actually have an extremely good strike differential. Weird reality we're in lol

He isn't 33 and 5. He has had 33 fights - 28 wins, 5 losses bro, come on mate 😂 Ps He isn't one dimensional, he has the skills, just prefers to box.@@RedceLL1978
