Genius level fight IQ, world class wrestling, Ngannou level punching power, and a rock hard prefectly chiseled body. He is literally the perfect fighter.

Plessis basically did against Strickland this time what we expected Adesanya to do against him two years ago. Plessis gave Strickland the striking battle he wanted and still made him lose all 5 rounds. He has had a fun title reign but Strickland gets all the credit for making it boring this time.

LOL Who's he gonna lose to????? His submission game is upper tier, his striking is decent and improving each week with henri hoofts camps, so he will be complete by the time he faces khamzat or ddp which will likely be in a year to year and a half.

Khamzat this. Khamzat that. He's a one round, one trick pony. DDP is too big . Too strong. A lightweight like Gilbert gave him hell and dropped him 3 times in that fight. Usman basically beat him coming off the couch with a weeks notice. Those guys are tiny compared to Dricus. DDP weights 220lbs on fightnight. He's an absolute tank. He will gut Khamzat like a fish.

DDP leveled up whereas Strickland was exposed as a one trick pony with an old trick. Strickland will be a small footnote in MMA history. DDP -- even if he loses to Chimaev -- likely will end up with a chapter to his name. Dude gets better every fight. Respect.

Strickland was too worried about keeping women "in the kitchen", too worried about China, too worried about running his mouth about something controversial and just too worried about acting manly. Sean Strickland out there trying to tell people what it means to be "a real man" while acting like a middle school chump. Some say that Strickland is just acting, that he's just trying to drum up viewers and fans, trying to garner attention... maybe he is, but it doesn't make it right. I definitely don't want my teenage kids acting ANYTHING like that clown (especially the way he acts out of the octagon) In the octagon, he shows class, I'll give him that, but out in public and in many interviews, he's a dink.. I'm so glad he lost. And he lost to A REAL MAN... Way to go Champ. Thank you!
