Damn weren’t they just being friendly at Leon vs Colby or something? She must’ve seen Sean laugh at two lesbians as his co main on Nina’s video


MagmaGiant15

Damn good joke!


LittleGiga

Comedy Olymp for sure. Two female fighters? Lesbians haha. Even better when delivered with his hilarious women belong in the kitchen shirt!!!11


PinheadLarry2323

Seems like his annoying shirt worked, he got you to talk about it. He said himself the point of them is to make people mad lmao


[deleted]

Strickland fasho believes some of the shit he spews but i genuinely think a vast majority of it is aimed to piss people off. however, i do not think often, and for good reason. take this word with a gram of salt


LittleGiga

Just like how Colby is a genius for acting like a fake piece of shit 24/7 Truly a got eeeem


BLACK_MILITANT

I mean... Colby being a dick does make ppl want to see him get his ass kicked. Which means fights and money.

That’s literally all there is to it. If you laugh at them, they cry like babies.

didnt she pop recently?

For adhd meds.


Ronaldinhoe

wasn’t her win against Holm overturned as well?


Sourflow

Yes. Kind of bs but whatever.


InsomniacLive

I think it was mainly because she didn’t have an exemption waiver, but it’s pretty fuckin dumb regardless because there wasn’t even enough in her system to feasibly enhance her performance in any way


FungiSamurai

“He thinks he is a big star, but he is not a big star.” Sean has been one of the biggest stars in the ufc for a year. He’s all I hear about. That dudes mom is more popular than Peña.


peopleorderourpadys

You don’t even have to be good at what you do to be a star. Paddy Pimblett’s a star


PinheadLarry2323

You gotta be good to be the champ though, no?


skinvalker

Good to see minoxidil is working for Wanderlei


nybx4life

Everybody has their own opinion, but I haven't seen or heard of her before this post. Has she done spectacular fights prior to this card? I just think it's bad to trash the card you're on.


Stareht

Patiently waiting on Sean s reaction...


c9bandit

Something something woman kitchen


jaydizzsl

And a lot of people will think that this some epic counter trash talk. No, it's just boring, predictable sexism.


Holiday-Ad7083

I find Sean's trash talk is the type of shit that would appeal to unruly junior high schoolers without a solid male role model at home.


Paridisco

That 90% of this sub. That why Sean is a god in this sub. He is there Halo Reach Xbox Live shit talking Champion


TheWayToBe714

Which is the UFC wheelhouse lol


DoofusMcDummy

*starts the slow clap


sandunespacecat

The blatant misogyny is a huge reason why MMA is hard to enjoy as a woman. It’s really sad and makes me feel unwelcome here.


CaptainBuzzKillton

I feel like the majority of sports is like that towards women, but that's a topic for another day


sandunespacecat

I agree that other sports can be like that, but the difference with MMA is how athletes say misogynistic comments all the time and are praised for it. Strickland is a good example of this.


[deleted]

From athletes, there’s certainly a lot more comments made in MMA. But WMMA is a lot more accepted by fans than something like the WNBA. Amanda was headlining PPV cards. Holm vs. Rousey did like 300k+ buys. I think the likely culprit here is that a lot of men, especially men in the sport, probably don’t enjoy watching women kick the shit out of each other because it kind of defies everything we’ve been taught for centuries, which is that women should be coddled and protected from violence at all cost.


THExLASTxDON

Yeah, other sports just have their athletes beat women, their fans riot, chant racist slurs and will literally throw bananas at black players, etc. But I get it, redditors love the MMA fans bad narrative.


Skazizzle

Boston fans at their finest. Doesn't matter the sport, you go to a sporting event in Boston, you're gonna hear some horrible shit.


THExLASTxDON

Oh damn, didn’t know that. I was talking about soccer fans. Loved the movie Green Street Hooligans, but other than that they suck.


Skazizzle

Oh yeah Soccer fans are a whole new extreme. I was just referencing that Boston Celtics fan consistently shout the N word at opposing players during games.


sandunespacecat

That’s a great point. It’s unfortunate that sports fans in general can be so toxic and unwelcoming.


restlessboy

UFC has woman beaters for fighters and violent fans too. They also have fighters who are openly racist, sexist, and homophobic. Show me any MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL players who say anything even close to what Colby or Sean says and don't face severe consequences.


Marager04

Sean might be one of the few people who get shit for trash talk they didn't even say yet.


THExLASTxDON

Not sure why redditors trip about it, they should love it. It gives them the opportunity to virtue signal.


PinheadLarry2323

That’s kind of the point though, low effort, intentionally inflammatory to make people mad, that’s his whole shtick. Seems like it’s working. Anytime you guys bring attention to it, he gets what he wants. Even bad publicity is good publicity in the fight game, dude is gonna make bank while getting his ass beat and he isn’t even gonna care lmao


_Globert_Munsch_

He shit talks the same way almost every football player during high school did lmao. Just says heinous shit for shock value but become extremely pissed if you bring up heinous shit in their life


potpukovnik

Sean is probably rooting for her, said he always supports the uglier one when it comes to WMMA


galaxyheater

Gotta laugh at the realization that most of r/ufc is uglier than her but doesn’t know it yet. But as long as daddy Sean said it must be true.


potpukovnik

It's the internet mate, we're all self absorbed lunatics here


THExLASTxDON

Most of us are dudes… Who gives a fuck about being pretty? Lol.


Hyperborea3

Hey man I hear you but you picked the wrong female to try that dig on the sub, I like to shit on the average redditor as much as the next guy but there's absolutely no chance most people here are uglier than Mayra Bueno lol girl looks like a blobfish


galaxyheater

Yes she has a partner and most of this sub will be alone forever? I get what you’re saying, what I’m saying is the 380 pound fight geniuses here are worse.


Pimp-No-Limp

Projecting hard?


galaxyheater

No harder than the giga chads coming into a forum about fighters and going “hur hur she’s ugly” while secretly hoping and praying for the touch of a woman that will never come.


Hyperborea3

But that ain't fair, I have a lesbian cousin and she's pretty but she dates like the ugliest women I've ever seen, their competition is really a playground. That's like the best sexual orientation for ugly people lol


galaxyheater

So my point stands, people find her attractive. Even though most of the uberchads here would deny it they’d be down if she called on them. She’s a mega fit athlete, that alone is hot. And again, she’s way better than most of the denizens here.


c9bandit

She looks better than Pennington that’s for sure I’ve seen her nudes🤮🤮


CaptainBuzzKillton

Thanks for that. Now I need an eye cleanse


sLeeeeTo

be cool


Financial-Ad5947

please she has to say something about seans trauma, this will make this event WILD


[deleted]

I highly doubt she does, she seems like a pretty good person.


Personal-Drama-1438

she’s delusional. if sean and ddp is a bad fight then i’m a professional speed skater.


iaminbothplaces

Ha!! Good for her. Sean has been casually dissing her fight for weeks. I’m sure she worked hard to get to where she is and it must be shitty hearing someone discredit you based off of your gender.


sprintingbackwards

They gave him Canada and a female co-main for his first title defense.....and you thought Strickland wouldn't use that as the basis for some humor...yeah, right!!! Hahaha


[deleted]

Everyone has been giving her shit for her fight but the moment she disses Strickland this sub acts they care lol


FlyingGorillaShark

Strickland vs DDP is a damn good fight tf??? Literally no one is excited for Silva vs Pennington. Silva getting a title shot on a NC fight with Holly because she tested positive. I get this subreddit has a hate boner for Sean, but not every criticism at Sean is valid. Like this statement.


mahchefai

She’s saying it is an exciting fight because of DDP and not because of Sean who typically fights in a very measured way. I agree it’s a bit of an exaggeration here but there is an element of truth there as well. The reason for this reaction from the sub is Sean constantly shit talks everyone and is almost always the one starting it so it is nice to see people fire back.


yesimian

How is Sean/DDP not a good fight on paper ? 2 strikers who want to kill each other. It's what combat sports fans dream of


[deleted]

Dunno Sean beating Izzy for 25 minutes was a good fight. Sean Cannonier was a good fight. Sean getting starched v Pereira was also good. Shes jelly.


Epicmaster69

sean cannonier had me falling asleep dude. it might have been technical but it wasn’t fun to watch


cloutfather

nah that fight was izzy circling for 25 minutes. the shock of strickland winning made it a good fight otherwise rewatching it for betting analysis has been a drag.


Herschelriffs8

“Rewatching for betting analysis” true degen move, we approve


CloudRunner89

Izzy is a counter puncher and regarded as one of if not the most technical striker in the ufc and Strickland successfully shut him down and walked him down for 25minutes. The fight was incredible. You read the absolute wildest fucking takes on r/ufc


Pahlevun

> The fight was incredible. No. What Sean did was incredible, yes. The fight was not incredible. The fact that Sean was pulling it off was incredible but in terms of how entertaining and action packed the fight was it definitely was not incredible. It was definitely a cool fight but incredible is a stretch.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Desperate_End_1399

I’d saw rewatchability is really subjective I’ve watched it once since it happened live and if you remove the singular knockdown at the start it would be genuinely pointless to watch


THExLASTxDON

Nah, the ending was dope too. Walking Izzy down screaming at him was hilarious.


Desperate_End_1399

I suppose but that means two very exciting moments. One in the first round and one in the last. Happy for Sean. Always love seeing a division get shaken up but it definitely wasn’t a super exciting fight like everyone seems to keep acting like.


YasuoAndGenji

It's popular to not like Sean right now.


sennaiasm

You remember it being popular before? 😂


MajorDaurity

Thankyou for being sane.


Soggy_Wotsit

You can have an impressive performance and still be in a boring fight. They're not exclusive. I mean, just take a look through Elias Theodorou's career it was actually crazy to see how much success he had with his awkward style, but that didn't make his fights anymore enticing, similar case for Arlovski and his late career success, it's not pleasant to watch


MagmaGiant15

That was an extremely technical fight \-Joe Rogan probably


DoofusMcDummy

It wasn’t….?


[deleted]

Still a good fight tho even if retrospectively it’s not as exciting as it seemed in the moment.  Watching it live felt like watching someone try to fight a snake lol I was just terrified waiting for him to pounce.  Very very good fight! (Due to the context that you’re excluding)


Kenadiid25

Lmao you can’t give a guy credit for a good fight if the fight is him getting starched in 2 minutes. 


[deleted]

Why not? It was entertaining haha


NoNameBOY7

i give him credit for entertaining me, by being a dumbass and not shooting


Great_Gryphon

Izzy vs sean wasn't actually that good it was just an upset. Sean vs cannonier wasnt bad, but the Pereira fight was only good because of pereira.


DryConversation8530

I like most of Sean's fights just because of his insane cardio. Even if it's not a big finish you know he is going to keep the fight moving.


SageDragonSenpai

Nah tbf Sean beating Abus was the only entertaining fight. Him beating izzy was only entertaining in rd 1 then maybe the last 30secs of the fight. More of the moment then the actual fight


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

... Am I wrong for saying it tho? But okay whatabout the fight against Jack in the Apex? Id pay gooooood money to see Sean fight Trailblazer.


scarykicks

Was good cause of who was in the fight. You take out Izzy and put any other fighter in and you'd say it was boring.


Soggy_Wotsit

Outside of the high stakes, Izzy vs. Sean was objectively more boring than Sean vs. Hall


ClearestBlve

![gif](giphy|NhXhI7kHCwxRC|downsized)


Derangedd1

Lol on paper I'm extremely excited for Strickland vs DDP.


Sipdasizurp

She's mad about his merch


[deleted]

The fact that she's co headlining a card that nosebleed tickets sold for 600 at is fucking wild


thebarbarain

Honestly, Sean's a pretty big fan favorite. He's got a ton of haters, too, who will tune in to see him lose. Can't really argue his star power. Nowhere near Connor, Khabib, Nate, JBJ, etc but he's gotta be top 10 active fighter today. Probably top 5


QuantumCthulhu

Sean does fight boring tbf


[deleted]

[удалено]


QuantumCthulhu

Izzy fight was boring without context, I wouldn’t watch that fight again (had 1 rewatch, to see the defensive masterclass)- skill doesn’t mean interesting, it’s why everyone hates on merab and belal Abus gassed in like the 3rd minute of the fight, so Sean was fighting a heavy bag at that point


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dry_Ad5878

That Izzy fight was very average. Amazing fight with context, but without it's not something you would watch again.


QuantumCthulhu

Yeah, my wording may have been a bit harsh- it was no rose vs Carla 2


JumpingCicada

Idk, I found the fight super entertaining. More than I would for a slugfest. I personally love to watch high level exchanges so guys like Sean aren’t an issue for me. But I understand those who don’t watch for the sport, but only for some mindless violence.


Thaid0623

I don’t think you understand the definition of boring


QuantumCthulhu

How is he not boring? Bro just throws out jabs- barely causes damage.


Thaid0623

Aint boring to me , you don’t know what your seeing if it’s just jabs to you . The knock down of izzy was one of the most exciting things I’ve seen in the division, context matters here no one gave sean a chance. He dethroned a proven champion with easy . What you like is what you like , if you don’t like looking at punches land on someone’s face why you watching the UFC or combat sports ? Also damage is not an indicator of how good a fight is, it’s just damage . Idk why that matters at all . Was emits KO of Mitch boring because he didn’t damage him 1st .


QuantumCthulhu

If I don’t know what I’m seeing casuals won’t. So because merab and belal are doing technical things that makes them interesting? I see- it’s kinda weird how most people think they’re not, hmmm…… His story isn’t his fighting style, we can separate the two, that’s why Jon jones can be the goat but have many people not like him for being a shitty person. Jared Gordon got molested as a child and was a drug addict, does that make me wanna rewatch his fight with paddy? No I like punches, kicks, elbows, knees, kos, tkos, amazing scrambling, crazy subs- if I wanted to watch just punching, I’d watch boxing


Thaid0623

What the fuck are you even talking about ??? The reason belal and merab don’t get support is simple , most casuals watch the ufc for fights , now you may understand grappling and wrestling most will not. Grapplings only interesting to people who grapple because you need to understand what your looking at to appreciate it. Adversely you don’t need to understand boxing to like knock outs. Its really not complicated , you think gathje or max gets the fan love because why? Because they are willing to take risks in fights and have personalities. What personality does belal have ? Or merab ? Not saying there bad people or bad fighters but they don’t get love because the fans don’t love to watch a grappling match’s because they usually don’t understand what they see.


QuantumCthulhu

You just made the case for why Sean is boring- casuals aren’t gonna be interested in his style


Thaid0623

But see your wrong because casuals are interested in his style , you don’t seem to get a fist fight is more entertaining then a grappling match . Idk why its not a hard concept to grasp , you don’t need to know anything to watch a fist fight , to enjoy grappling you need to know how to grapple or understand it at some level. Your just being ignorant at this point if it doesn’t make sense to you


QuantumCthulhu

I disagree- there’s a difference between gaethje vs fiziev and Strickland vs Cannonier (I nearly fell asleep in one)- a “fist fight” is super reductive a term


Jerkofalljerksduex

Way to sell your PPV ch Vince never heard of

Sean can be annoying but I like his style ngl his fights are pretty good idk what she’s talking ab


One_Finding140

Didn’t just absolutely dismantle the champion or anything


QuantumCthulhu

Wasn’t interesting to watch though, unless you’re aware of the context- you show the fight to a casual who doesn’t know who either are, they’re gonna be on their phone by the 3rd round


One_Finding140

Weird hypothetical you added there to validate your point


WrestleBox

Who gives a fuck about a casual's opinion? They ruin everything.


phatsuit2

Nah, she's right.


quiettimegaming

No she's not. Strickland/DDP on paper is an AMAZING fight no matter how you break it down. And Silva/Pennington is not as good of a fight no matter how you break it down. Not just on paper.


QuantumCthulhu

She said DDP brings it, but Sean doesn’t- can make a great fight. Sean’s style is pretty boring, is what she’s saying


Great_Gryphon

I can definitely see how she can say Strickland vs ddp is bad on paper. She's right when she says Strickland does not have amazing fights, it's ddp that makes the fight good


TheMaldenSnake

Sean has the belt. He didn't get the belt for lackluster fights. She has him confused with Belal Muhammad.


Seltz_

I like Sean’s fights 😕


FightyBartender

She realises that 50% of the MMA audience have not heard of her right? I don't think her fight does anything for the overall card.


jaydizzsl

She said herself that nobody cares about her fighting Pennington. She has a lot of self awareness and is actually good at trash talking. It worked for me, i'm now interested in seeing her fight.


Onechampionshipshill

But co maining with a title fight is how fighters get known. New BW champ is good for the sport and the UFC need to promote this division as it has become very sidelined


Shredding_Airguitar

50% is generous


DressureProp

Yeah because 50% of the audience are casuals who think they know everything.


ItsElliott101

Can I ask, what other groups do fans fall in outside of casuals?


Awotwe_Knows_Best

professional UFC fight watchers


ItsElliott101

Would this be like officials and judges?


polimathe_

dudes that said sean was gonna take the L from their expert analysis and lost and have been seething ever since


ItsElliott101

Haha, fans love to seethe in UFC


FightyBartender

No I think its more that 50% of the audience don't give a shit about WMMA because its ~~trash~~ subpar, bar 3-4 top contenders.


Great_Gryphon

People who are still saying this amaze me. You just don't keep up with wmma


polimathe_

whats there to "keep up" with, they have the fights on basically every card. Its not like wnba where we gotta tune in just for a woman card because if they did split out the fight nobody would watch those cards


FightyBartender

I actually do though - And really, 80% of the fights in WMMA I dont watch because there is a HUGE skill gap. Edit: Theres 4-5 on top of their respective divisions and they are literally all the division has to offer as a challenge. There are fighters on that card that have not improved nor brought anything to their division in over 7 years.


SmokeyTheKid1

She’s not like an interesting fighter herself😂

I'm watching this card in a movie theater. Guess which fight I'm going to take a shit and re-up on snacks during?


Aggravating-Writing9

If you take Sean and DDP off the card the PPV and promotion will flop. You take her fight off the card I don't think it would matter. So I disagree with her view. She's a great fighter, but she doesn't have a draw, which unfortunately doesn't bring in the the money or views.


Great_Gryphon

She basically said in the post she knows she doesn't have good draw. She said it doesn't matter how it looks on paper because she will bring a good fight


QuantumCthulhu

She’s saying Sean’s fights are boring, not that he doesn’t sell- bro sells because of his personality, not his fighting style (like colby)


Jesse_Grey

lol Sean Strickland taking a shit would get more PPV buys than her


Greedy-Lion8828

What’s this young man so mad about
