Sean Strickland will probably have a slightly different group of coaches who surround him on his return for his next fight after a tumultuous evening at the UFC 312.
The former average weight champion published a long video on Twitter on his shortcomings in the revenge match with Dricus du Plessis as well as the comments made by the head coach of Xtreme Couture, Eric Nicksick, where he said during an appearance on The Ariel Helwani show Whether it was a “very disappointing performance” and an “uninteresting” effort of Strickland. While Strickland promises that he will maintain a friendship with Nicksick in the future when he plans to continue to train in Xtreme Couture, it is likely that the veteran coach will no longer be back in his corner.
“I like Eric (Nicksick),” said Strickland in a video published on Twitter. “He’s one of my friends and he will continue to be one of my friends. Will it probably be in my corner? Probably not. We have so many super guys from Xtreme (sewing), Nate (Pettit), Ray Sefo, we have so many savages that I would like to get stuck.
“But all this combat camp was just a fight. It was an AFT struggle. We all have apologies on the reasons why we have not won or why we won and we shouldn’t have won. We all have apologies and they are not f * cking. The only reason for which I am making this video is that Eric must have gone to do the Podcast AF * Cking and become an influencer, so I have to be like a little myself. “”
Strickland revealed that he actually had a bone broken in his arm a few months from the fight when he also suffered from a staphylococcus infection, which was raised by Plessis during the fight week.
The whole test has wreaked havoc on Strickland, but he continued to continue his training sessions with the state of mind that he was not going to transmit the opportunity to take revenge from Du Plessis while recovering the Average weight of UFC.
“This is not an excuse, but all this camp was just a fight of” I’m good, I’m good “knowing that you are not good,” said Strickland. “I was in Colombia at eight weeks, seven weeks away from stem cells on a broken bone. Again, the bones healed well, not an excuse, it just weighs in the back of your head.
“I would train with this guy (Ridder’s Reinier), this guy from the submission and he struck me with a whizer and he was already broken and I thought my arm f * Cking had broken. I thought my broken arm, I have to go to Colombia. As if it’s F * cked. “”
Despite all the problems he faced during his training camp, Strickland continued to push in the hope that he could return him to the fight.
Unfortunately, this did not happen.
“But all camp is just in the back of your head and you continue to tell yourself” I’m fine “and I think that’s what all men do,” said Strickland. “All men do this. You look in the mirror and even if you are not good, you are like “I’m fine, you are an AF * cking man, you go”.
“But all camp, whether staphylococcus infection, the broken arm, having to obtain a visa that was only approved for a week (before the fight), without being able to get the cords out. All this camp was a struggle so that I was not good, but I was looking in a mirror and saying “ransacking”. »»
For all the complaints that he has made a dull performance, Strickland knows that he did not enter this 100%fight, but he will not go back and will not use it as an excuse now.
Even late in the fight after Plessis broke the nose, which passed the blood on his face, Strickland would not abandon until the final horn does not sound.
“Nothing with Dricus, he came there and fought his ass,” said Strickland. “F * Cking broken my nose. Hell yeah. Hats off to you fought like an AF * Cking man.
“I broke my nose like F * Cking three times in this tour and each time I have not stopped. I did not go sit on the stool and say that my nose is broken and I cannot fight. I adjusted it every time f * cking. Maybe I thought I’m going to be lucky, maybe I won’t do it, but at the end of the day, we all have an AF * cking story and no one gives AF * CK. I am grateful for my life. I love my work. I love my fans. I support you as much as you support me. Back in the gymnasium, go to the next one.
As much as the fight was built around the title of the average weights of the UFC, Strickland says that none of this has ever been important to him. He draws much more from sport than championship belts and Strickland knows none of these changes, whatever the result of his fight against Plessis.
“I don’t fight to put belts on the wall,” said Strickland. “I don’t fight because Eric wants to go and make a fancy podcast. That’s not why I fight. Before fighting, I had the lowest self -esteem, I couldn’t even look at myself in the F * Cking mirror. As if I didn’t even know what dignity was when I started fighting. In a way, fighting, I learned so much. I am met so many incredible people. Thanks to the UFC and the combat fans, you have changed my life F * Cking. Changed my life f * cking.
“You made me grow as much as a person in the ring and out of the ring and that’s why I fight. I f * cking love it. I have a lot of fights on my contract. I love to fight. I go back to the gymnasium. I work on my ass and I go from F * CKK Squré. That’s just what life is.
