chopping down the leg to reduce Volkov's mobility is a great plan, constantly eating shots from the guy while chopping that leg...not so much

Does Strickland always look so “dead man walking”?

Try walking into a punchsport-match against Izzy with only trash-talk in your toolbox

"former" as in "he realized self-identifying as a neo-Nazi was bad for his future", so he graduated from actual hate-crimes to just being racist, homophobic, and transphobic without calling himself a neo-nazi in tyool 2023

I don't think Strickland is a nazi. Homophobe, transphobe, misogynist, general bigot shithead, 100%. But he does seem to have at least turned away from being literally a nazi. Give him the smallest bar to clear.

As someone who grew up in a racist family, and still has to deal with said family and community, I can totally relate to Sean's early life. I don't think Seans racist now from what I've seen of him and his team. The other stuff.. Yeahhh idk. But I was also basically raised to be a racist homophobe, and it took me until about 14 to mature enough to realize how hosed up my family was and shed my prejudices. I have a mixed race son now, and working on another with a West African 2nd generation immigrant. I don't want to defend anything else about Sean. Except that I think he's good and has always been good despite his narrow gameplan, and I was rooting on him to win for chaos/resentment of Izzy for wasting my PPV money on his all of his most boring fights lol.

I haven't even looked into his comments during his professional career, I've literally only read and heard comments from him during the build-up for UFC 293, and I could checkmark every single item that Carl lists.
If a self-confessed former neo-Nazi graduates from actual, physical hate-crimes to "just open hate-speech", there's no reason to - under any circumstance - hand it to him or believes his re-branding away from neo-Nazi was a) genuine or b) for anything outside of self-serving purposes.

Basically, this:

He walks, quacks, flies, looks like a duck, but he may no longer eat bread in a park so he might not be a duck.



I'm not making GBS threads on Strickland because he beat Izzy. Hell, I hate rooting for Izzy, and there's no Strickland's performance today, but man's a racist Menschenfeind.
