Indeed tbh, costa is washed and Strickland wasn’t even really going 100% in like he did with Adesanya. You knew from the press conference he’s there to go for the kill.
1000000% couldn't have said it better myself. Anyone who isn't a super casual knew going into ufc 302 that Strickland vs Costa was about to be a fairly unremarkable decision. I enjoy Sean's fights as even though there aren't highlight KO's I enjoy the more technical striking. But no one who knows the sport thought that fight was gonna be a banger. Unless Instagram reels are their main source of MMA info.
Honestly i expected strickland to be a lot more aggressive from the start considering he managed to man handle izzy but no just teep and jab for the whole fight and give it his all in the last 10s
EVERY strickland fight ends EXACTLY how any person with 2 braincells would expect. The only exception being with Poatan because Alex is a monster. Still dk how any dork is ever excited for a strickland fight…
You sound like an american bully from a movie when you say "dork". Do yourself and everyone else a favor and never let your opinion known to the world.
@@toby099 Masvidal was never at the level he thought he was. His only impressive performance against a top 5 fighter in the UFC was askren and he was a bit washed as well.
The only way Costa vs Strickland was going to be entertaining was if costa went for a finish. Strickland was never going to finish costa. Sean does almost no damage with his punches and Costa a really solid chin so his only way to victory was decision.
@Kgopani3101 When that happened, did you really think Strickland would finish it? He waited till the end of the 5th round to actually go for a finish, and it was a weak knockdown from a kick that was partially blocked. Strickland is a safe point fighter.
To be fair to Ian Garry he had the perfect gameplan for MVP. He knew there’s no chance he could stand and bang with him. It sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Costa's most boring fight was against Sean Strickland Du Plessis's most boring fight was against Strickland. Adesanya vs Strickland was such a snoozy fight, only moment was a knockdown in the first Strickland is genuinly the most pound for pound most boring fighter in the UFC. He even makes Belal fights look like wars in comparisson
I'm gonna be real, those first two are entirely the fans fault. If anyone expected a fun fight from Sean Strickland they're stupid. And if anyone thought Colby vs Masvidal was gonna go any differently than Colby ragdolling and smudging Jorge for 25 minutes then they're REALLY stupid.
spot on with MVP v Garry and Ciryl v Jones TT _ TT looked forward to the striking side of both and both were definitely my most anticipated fight that card, but nope. nothin'
People were brainwashed into thinking it was all Strickland’s fault for making the fight boring, but apparently Costa backing up for 25mins has no role in that
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mnso? Strickland still only threw jabs and front kicks, someone like topuria or Oliveira can chase their opponent not just jab at them softly
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mn Strickland fans like to blame it on Costa but literally all of Sean’s fights are like that 🤦♂️ costa didn’t fight good either don’t get me wrong but yall just can’t admit Strickland’s boring. Strickland literally blamed costa too and can’t take accountability like a man
@@Kgopani3101 because his opponents are the ones pushing the pace… it’s the same argument as yoel vs Izzy. Izzy didn’t fight like he usually did and Yoel didn’t push the pace. Strickland is a boring fighter.
from the buildup of edwards vs covington i was sure leon edwards would fuck colby up bad but instead he coasted to a boring decision in a fight that wasn't even remotely competitive
In realms of combat, where legends rise and fall, A warrior emerges, with a power that enthralls, Poatan, the name that echoes through the land, With a left hook from hell, that takes his foes' stand. From Brazil's shores, he came to conquer and reign, With a will of iron, and a spirit that sustains, He faced the toughest, with a heart full of fire, And proved his greatness, with a champion's desire. Five former champs, fell to his mighty hand, Their glory eclipsed, by his unyielding stand, Adesanya's conqueror, thrice victorious and true, Poatan's legend grew, with a story anew. Chama's the call, that echoes through the night, As Poatan steps forth, with a warrior's light, His skills honed sharp, like a blade in the dark, Leaving opponents shattered, with a single spark. With a left hook from hell, he's the one to fear, Poatan's power and skill, bring opponents to tears, His name etched in history, forever to remain, Poatan, the warrior, with a legend that sustains. ....... Like if u read my poem
Saying “Ian Machedo Garry out wrestles MVP the entire fight with no submissions or ground and point” and the first photo of the fight is Machedo Garry with a RNC is ironic. Was still a boring fight tho.
You must’ve started watching like recently. Like within the last 3 years. This list is extremely underwhelming. Only good one on the list is Jorge v Covington. All the rest are not good fights for a list like this
Sean will always fight the same way, obviously thats his style. If the other fighter doesnt engage he will just walk you down. Not his problem that the others cant stop his striking lmao
I mean he said that for the DDP fight and it was true. The DDP fight was a really good fight too so people believed because of his last fight. But Costa chose to run around for 24 minutes and 30 seconds.
I’ve said this a bunch but I think stricklanda idea of war is 100% literal. He doesn’t mean an entertaining scrap to the death, he means a tactical and precise fight. This could also explain the civil war walk out song and the marching he likes so much
Bro thought decision merchant strickland and the guy most overrated power in the ufc costa would have a finish. Strickland did knock him down and stun him btw

You knew from the press conference he’s there to go for the kill.
Yeah sucks that Costa made it so boring, Strickland was walking him down the whole time and Costa was just horrified and frozen.
But it's two different fight styles. Costa could not figure out Strickland's defense and doesn't have DDP's chin to pull off just bulldozing in
Anyone who expected Costa Strickland to be a banger is 100% someone who gets all the mma info from instagram

@@greek_methistakesThat’s how Strickland tends to fight. Just teep jab. Even the Izzy fight was him spamming teeps and one twos
"Costa Strickland" sounds like an interesting name.
Strickland in the buildup: I want to have the first confirmed kill in the octogon, it's gonna be a WAR
Strickland in the fight:🚶♂️
Jab, Cross, front kick, repeat for 25 minutes
You need someone to engage to take it out of Strickland, him vs DDP was a great fight.
@@maxpoh Yeah but it sucks that he promotes himself as such an aggressive tough guy, but then fights the safest possible way during the fight
Imagine getting mad at Strickland for walking Costa down for 25 minutes and not being mad at Costa for running away.
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mn I dunno about him but I'm mad at both.

You sound like an american bully from a movie when you say "dork". Do yourself and everyone else a favor and never let your opinion known to the world.
Strickland doesn’t have a fun fight style he’s objectively boring, he’s somehow made DDP and Costa fight boring fights.
In my opinion, the DDP fight was very good. But the Paulo fight was terrible.
the ddp fight was not boring at all.
@@guusgeluk3693 Compared to DDP vs Izzy, Whittaker, Till it was most definitely boring.
@@guusgeluk3693 but compared to most of DDP’s other fights it was a dud 😅
DDP fight wasn’t boring but that’s because of DDP’s pressure
Masvidal Covington is about what i expected. Colby lays and prays

Not a single ko in the entire card 💀
That’s why I didn’t go lol and I live in jersey
No Strickland fight is exciting to watch
Abus magomedov Brendan Allen dricus duplessis and Israel adesanya???
@@Natfigger123 jabs and teeps with a brawl at 30 seconds to go isn't exciting.

Derick lewis vs Francis will always be the one that stings the most. A huge fan of both. Absolutely no one expected the kind of fight we got lol
this one was on top of my mind reading the title.
I feel bad for whoever paid
Strickland always find a way to make the fight boring
Casual
2 out of his last 3 fights were exciting, destroyed Izzy and then went to war with DDP. Costa was retreating the whole fight, not Sean’s fault

Great Video. Do you know (and im afraid to) the next fight that everyone wait and it will be boring.

Dude what? Everyone thought Strickland vs Costa was gonna be a snoozefest.
If you were expecting a Sean Strickland fight to be exciting that’s on you tbh
I feel like it’s the pressure for Sean, he had nothing to lose with his fight against Izzy but had everything to lose with costa
Edwards vs Covington only because of the hype going into the fight
