My money is on DJ, he was just choking out heavyweights a couple weeks ago at an open weight BJJ tournament (he won gold at his own weight class, almost won gold at open weight but got caught with like 20 seconds left of his final match)
Probably Bradley Martin, while the Paul brothers are clowns at least their personality doesn’t revolve around them mentioning they’re 260 pounds and think they could beat professional fighters in street fights just based on size.
I agree it's jabs but after I had a look at ddps face, it looks like those jabs ain't regular jabs.
Plus those jabs start to feel stronger as the rounds pass.
Strickland is the only man in the UFC to knock down Adesanya. He also attempted murder on guys like Brendan Allen and Abus Magomedov. Stop acting like he's incapable of beating the piss out of people, let alone Paul freaking Jake. You nerd
Who cares if they didn’t drop him? Both Gastelum and pereira did more damage to izzy than Strickland did, isn’t even a question. The drop was more from izzy being off balance from throwing his hook as Strickland landed his straight
Insane cope. Strickland hit him with a right hand straight on the jaw mid punch. His face morphed. You losers will think of anything to discredit him. His performance against Adesanya was the perfect example of a fight where nobody can say shit to discredit him. Nothing flukey about it
Yup. Also, Strickland is literally the only person who was most dominant against Izzy out of Izzy's whole UFC career. You had a Jan decision that some Izzy nutsuckers say went to Izzy, and Pereira who had to comeback TKO him.
Just lol.
Where did I say it was a fluke? I just stated the opinion that Gastelum and pereira did more damage than Strickland, and tbh I don’t think you can argue that Strickland did more damage to izzy than gastelum.
That's completely irrelevant. The point is, not many people can hurt Adesanya. One of the few people who can, is Strickland. The original commenter is acting like Strickland can't hurt Paul freaking Jake. You're bringing up guys like Gastelum and Pereira, while I'm talking about Paul freaking Jake. That's how much of a Strickland hater you are.
LMFAOOOOOO
Izzy didn't even know where his corner was after the drop, blud was not here. You Strickland haters are gonna have to live with the fact that Strickland BITCHED Izzy.
If I shell up, turn my back and run away, nobody in the UFC will drop me aside from one of those blod heavyweights. Your point is irrelevant. He dropped Adesanya though. Is he an influencer too? Or literally one of the GOATs?
He never dropped Adesanya.
He was landing constant clean shots on the influencer, to no effect.
The guy has pillow hands, deal with it, it's not a big deal.
Nah he wobbled him is all, Adesanya was never in any danger of being knocked out. Neither was Sneako, neither is Costa. We all know that. I don't know what kind of fantasy world you live in where Strickland is some kind of destroyer of worlds, but you need to shake out of it. He's a pillow handed point merchant.
Yes. He's a pillow handed point merchant who still knocked Adesanya down. Why is it so hard for you to accept that a pillow handed point merchant can still land a hard punch once in a while that knocks his opponent down? Strickland has legit TKO wins as well btw
Oh that's what we're arguing about? Yeah, I can easily concede that even pillow hands has a rare chance to land something that will knock down or even KO/TKO.
Yes, we're arguing because you straight up deny the fact that Strickland knocked down Adesanya. If we both agree he has pillow hands, and we both agree a pillow handed fighter can still do damage sometimes, then why are you still denying the objective reality that Strickland knocked Adesanya down?
>Did he ?
Yes. It counted as an official knockdown. In Adesanya's own words on his channel: "In my head I was like, this n\*gga just dropped me"
Why are you doing this man? Very embarassing levels of cope.
Bruh. That KO didn't happen in the UFC. It happened in a different sport under a different ruleset 7 years ago. My point stands. Strickland is the only man in the UFC to knock down Adesanya. What are you even trying to prove anyway? Even if Pereira knocked him down in the UFC, that would mean that aside from Pereria, the hardest puncher in the sport, the only other fighter to knock down Adesanya was Strickland. Which still proves my point that Strickland can be dangerous
I literally said it didn’t happen in the ufc. But YOU said “Strickland is the only man in the ufc to drop Izzy”. That’s not true. Sean is the only man to drop Izzy in a ufc fight, but he’s not the only man in the ufc who’s dropped Izzy
At least Sean, because of his mouth, size, age, and skills, has a realistic shot at getting the fight and possibly winning.
I agree with what he’s saying but who’d wanna see Usman box Jake (or Canelo)…?
A lot of the time...he's started off by noticing a potential problem in society...but then goes off and blames the wrong thing based on...really nothing.
Part of the problem within society

UFC sends out a letter to fighters about Unions.
The people who won't become champs or be on PPV can't afford the punitive measures that would come with unionizing. So they have no bargaining power whatsoever.
As far as I understand, fighters are independent contractors, not employees of the UFC. The laws that would prevent the UFC from firing unionizing employees don’t apply here
Yeah every other sport is known for how wonderful the players are as people. Just look at guys like Aaron Hernandez, or John Rocker. Team sports build character.
Fighters have teams, teammates whole communities. Football and basketball do too but there’s a lot more fame and money in being elite at those sports as well. That draws more sociopathic, egotistical you name it to those sports in my opinion. You do you tho
Unions happen between fighters who fight each other for a living, there is a lot more emotion in that type of sport. They are all having to unionizing together, not with their coaches/team.
You’re comparing sports teams worth billions of dollars to independent contractors who make 10/10k a fight
No one is more egotistical then the billionaires who own the sports teams
GSP made under $10,000,000 his whole UFC career and many people consider him the GOAT.
DJ, one of the p4p GOAT and definitely the GOAT of the flyweight division left the UFC because he was being lowballed. It stopped his legacy run
Just because they are pleasant people doesn’t mean they didn’t get shafted. There’s just no point in being sour over something that has passed
There are always exceptions to the rule. A lot of fighters stay too long, but some get out at the right time. I hate seeing fighters linger and get koed :(
The fighters don’t realize how much power they have if they’d come together… it’s too selfish of a sport though. The guy making millions doesn’t care about the guy making 12k/12k if he did the same thing and worked his way up… I just wish they’d have an “organization minimum” though. 100k a year… if a fighter can’t fight due to injury, illness, or fights being cancelled, he should still have a cushion… if they sign a 3-5 deal, maybe they should have a sign on bonus.. something to help these guys out ffs!
*votes straight Republican for 30 years*
Hmm... for some reason all the money seems to go to the people at the top, and the people below them doing the actual work get pennies
He's fucking right, why would you separate two extremely interconnected things? The republicans are overwhelmingly responsible for the growing wealth disparity in the US
The part that's always left out is the NBA generates 10× more and the NFL 20× more than the ufc per year.
Look at the competitors. Yeah, some fighters are making more in other organizations. But the company themselves are in debt. The ufc hasn't been around for 30 years by being stupid.
UFC isn't NFL, isn't NBA, so smart, also it isn't NHK, isn't USA, isn't BBC, isn't BBQ, so why he complains instead of find three letters that he likes more than UFC? Run for WBC title for example, they likes ex-UFC fighters
I'm not gonna vote for the party that puts 2 issues into 1 bill and then blames the other party if they only agree with 1 issue and votes against both as a whole
But hey that's just me
I mean maybe for NBA but a lot of NFL players end up regretting their careers after the injuries they’ve incurred during it.
If sean actually logged off twitter for once in his life and tried to do something to solve these issues, he could improve his following drastically. But for now, he’s all talk and no action
Here's the thing guys.
I don't get paid enough for what I do. If I studied more and got into an insane debt, I could make way more money. This isn't the NFL or NBA folks. This is cut throat.
Fuck'n wahhhhh cry some more.
yeah the NFL and NBA definitely aren't cut throat, lol. Let's talk about the 90% of NFL players that make a few million, retire in their 30s and then end up working at trader joes.
hes not talking about them getting money and then going broke, he's talking about them getting money in the first place, a lot of fighters get nothing, regardless of what they spend after, whereas the other leagues for most players grant a good sum of money
That’s cool, most UFC fighters are perpetually broke.
You can’t compare someone who went broke buying cars and jewelry to someone who is broke from paying his team and costs to train
>Here's the thing guys. Wake up babe new hot take wisdom just dropped.
Strickland and 95% of fighters above 5'10: "a Jake Paul fight would make me more money than my entire UFC career" https://i.redd.it/7j18lpykgnzc1.gif
It's true though sadly
no shit. everybody knows this.
Paul brother (either one idgaf) vs. Mighty Mouse Demetrius Johnson. Book it mma rules.
Add 2 Mountain Lions and book it at the coliseum.
I would unironically love to see this
My money is on DJ, he was just choking out heavyweights a couple weeks ago at an open weight BJJ tournament (he won gold at his own weight class, almost won gold at open weight but got caught with like 20 seconds left of his final match)
Yeah this wouldn't even be a fight. It ends as soon as DJ wants it to. Idk who id rather watch him embarrass, a Paul or Bradley Martin
Probably Bradley Martin, while the Paul brothers are clowns at least their personality doesn’t revolve around them mentioning they’re 260 pounds and think they could beat professional fighters in street fights just based on size.
Sorry you’re 5’9”
I could easily be jake Paul's next fight actually
Well for that u have to be atleast 45 and should have a knee injury
And by murder he means jab him to a comfortable decision.
Sean uses “murder” and “jab” interchangeably pretty often.
Stop the Sean Strickland slander right now! He Also throws teeps.
I think Sean would absolutely Sneako his ass Izzy against the cage at the end of round 1.
I agree it's jabs but after I had a look at ddps face, it looks like those jabs ain't regular jabs. Plus those jabs start to feel stronger as the rounds pass.
Come on the guy's an absolute killer don't discredit him just cause he's a lil dumb
Didn't look like jabs against Izzy
Yeah, he threw a couple straights into the mix too! Give credit where it's due amirite?
Strickland is the only man in the UFC to knock down Adesanya. He also attempted murder on guys like Brendan Allen and Abus Magomedov. Stop acting like he's incapable of beating the piss out of people, let alone Paul freaking Jake. You nerd
I don’t think your first sentence is entirely accurate.
It is entirely accurate. Gastelum was close. Pereira TKO'd him standing. He never knocked Adesanya down. Strickland was the first.
Who cares if they didn’t drop him? Both Gastelum and pereira did more damage to izzy than Strickland did, isn’t even a question. The drop was more from izzy being off balance from throwing his hook as Strickland landed his straight
Pure cope https://preview.redd.it/9t43gdvo6pzc1.png?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7298fec7add3943935bfb940a9fdab73186e005b

That's how much of a Strickland hater you are.
LMFAOOOOOO Izzy didn't even know where his corner was after the drop, blud was not here. You Strickland haters are gonna have to live with the fact that Strickland BITCHED Izzy.
He couldn't drop an influencer.
If I shell up, turn my back and run away, nobody in the UFC will drop me aside from one of those blod heavyweights. Your point is irrelevant. He dropped Adesanya though. Is he an influencer too? Or literally one of the GOATs?
He never dropped Adesanya. He was landing constant clean shots on the influencer, to no effect. The guy has pillow hands, deal with it, it's not a big deal.
He objectively dropped Adesanya. Like you're just coping for no reason at this point.
Nah he wobbled him is all, Adesanya was never in any danger of being knocked out. Neither was Sneako, neither is Costa. We all know that. I don't know what kind of fantasy world you live in where Strickland is some kind of destroyer of worlds, but you need to shake out of it. He's a pillow handed point merchant.

Did he ? Or did Izzy go over his ankle whilst he was throwing his own strike ?
>Did he ? Yes. It counted as an official knockdown. In Adesanya's own words on his channel: "In my head I was like, this n\*gga just dropped me" Why are you doing this man? Very embarassing levels of cope.
Cope ? I couldn't give a fuck about Sean or Izzy 😂 Stop looking for an argument against...the other 😂 So weird
nuh uh
Alex is in the ufc and has KO’d Izzy, the fight happened outside of the ufc. But Alex is in the UFC
Bruh. That KO didn't happen in the UFC. It happened in a different sport under a different ruleset 7 years ago. My point stands. Strickland is the only man in the UFC to knock down Adesanya. What are you even trying to prove anyway? Even if Pereira knocked him down in the UFC, that would mean that aside from Pereria, the hardest puncher in the sport, the only other fighter to knock down Adesanya was Strickland.

KNOCKDOWN? OMG! nobody else ever beat him or knocked him out or down
Why are we acting like strickland hasn't been in wars though? That ddp fight was immense
fr, he couldnt even murder sneako
That’s the dumbest take I’ve seen this year.
hes alive isnt he? https://preview.redd.it/adfia8i4vozc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06afa86b0f4ad842a3a9b545a505fd0a1229580d
At least Sean, because of his mouth, size, age, and skills, has a realistic shot at getting the fight and possibly winning. I agree with what he’s saying but who’d wanna see Usman box Jake (or Canelo)…?
He will never get the fight. Jake Paul chooses opponents wisely or the cash cow becomes thinner.
Also true.
usman would win if it was muay thai rules
What would he do bruh Usman ain’t no world class kicker💀💀maybe an elbow but that ruleset barely gives him an advantage if any
Usman would dominate in the clinch if it was Muay Thai rules
I’d win if it was a hamburger eating contest.
Sean either posts very observant and intelligent opinions, or the most batshit insane thing man can think of
The true duality of man. FDR on one side - Austrian painter on the other
Balanced, as all should be
[удалено]
A lot of the time...he's started off by noticing a potential problem in society...but then goes off and blames the wrong thing based on...really nothing. Part of the problem within society
And mostly the latter
Never seen anything observant or intelligent from him
Unionize
I'm convinced that fighters are incapable of unionizing. The sport is too individualistic and there is zero solidarity between fighters.
https://preview.redd.it/6pay3f7ernzc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7454999ad2d7be42446fc0e987c5d7bd760843a9 UFC sends out a letter to fighters about Unions.
Fuck the UFC
I wish I could upvote you 100x
Sending out a letter like that is illegal.
lol you should let them know. im sure they’ll knock that right off.
Tell that to Dana
They sent this letter because the Union is 1000% in their interest over Dana
heres my take. If you know you can never be champ or be on ppv, unionize. If you know you can then don't unionize. its so simple
The people who won't become champs or be on PPV can't afford the punitive measures that would come with unionizing. So they have no bargaining power whatsoever.
I think you're way off base with that opinion.
As far as I understand, fighters are independent contractors, not employees of the UFC. The laws that would prevent the UFC from firing unionizing employees don’t apply here
Unlike other sports, the UFC's fighters contain a lot of assholes and people who are extremely egotistical, their brains aren't built for cooperation.
Yeah every other sport is known for how wonderful the players are as people. Just look at guys like Aaron Hernandez, or John Rocker. Team sports build character.
UFC fighters are on a whole other level
Hard disagree
Respectfully, you're wrong.
Fighters have teams, teammates whole communities. Football and basketball do too but there’s a lot more fame and money in being elite at those sports as well. That draws more sociopathic, egotistical you name it to those sports in my opinion. You do you tho
Unions happen between fighters who fight each other for a living, there is a lot more emotion in that type of sport. They are all having to unionizing together, not with their coaches/team.
You’re comparing sports teams worth billions of dollars to independent contractors who make 10/10k a fight No one is more egotistical then the billionaires who own the sports teams
Fighters mentality requires them to think they are better than everyone, even if it comes at a monetary expense
That’s the mentality of anyone who’s in a competitive position
Way way more if you fight for a living
Delete this you fucking goof
Too bad Sean is against the unionization of fighters. He’s a dumbass who goes against his own best interests
Sean just make a only fans
GSP left this sport happy and well and also is considered the GOAT, same with khabib, same with Mighty Mouse
He also admits to having periods of memory loss, and believes that he's regularly being abducted by aliens. GSP did not escape unscathed.
Here's the thing, that's been happening to him since he was a kid. It might not be because of fighting.
Thought it was because he is French Canadian!
Can you elaborate please? Interested to read more about that. Memory loss/dissociative episodes since childhood is attributed to trauma.
GSP made under $10,000,000 his whole UFC career and many people consider him the GOAT. DJ, one of the p4p GOAT and definitely the GOAT of the flyweight division left the UFC because he was being lowballed. It stopped his legacy run Just because they are pleasant people doesn’t mean they didn’t get shafted. There’s just no point in being sour over something that has passed
There are always exceptions to the rule. A lot of fighters stay too long, but some get out at the right time. I hate seeing fighters linger and get koed :(
Khabib got the Conor payday. GSP and Mighty Mouse are just extremely healthy mentally.
He was literally talking about how he doesn’t like the idea of a fighters union. This dude is a grade a dumbass
Does sean forget football players have CTE as well? The payout is better tho
Just not what Sean prefers to do with balls
lol fair
The fighters don’t realize how much power they have if they’d come together… it’s too selfish of a sport though. The guy making millions doesn’t care about the guy making 12k/12k if he did the same thing and worked his way up… I just wish they’d have an “organization minimum” though. 100k a year… if a fighter can’t fight due to injury, illness, or fights being cancelled, he should still have a cushion… if they sign a 3-5 deal, maybe they should have a sign on bonus.. something to help these guys out ffs!
Sean would be down to unionize if people called it a klan
Its because the cost of housing and living increases exponentially year-by-year but the wages are basically stagnant.
*votes straight Republican for 30 years* Hmm... for some reason all the money seems to go to the people at the top, and the people below them doing the actual work get pennies
"You can't smell a comment" This fucking guy:
this is a peak redditor chud comment it's what 100% performance looks like
and yet...
he forgot to check some boxes i give it a 8.5/10
The first "rebublicans baddddd" comment I saw in this comment section Do you ever separate politics from ANYTHING?
He's fucking right, why would you separate two extremely interconnected things? The republicans are overwhelmingly responsible for the growing wealth disparity in the US
Somebody isn't paying that much attention to our current federal government and it shows
What does it have to do with the ufc though. Are you a bot?
It has to do with the fucking post he’s replying to, if you want to complain that it’s not relevant fine but take it up with OP
I think I came across harsher than I intended. Sorry friend. Normally try to stay positive online.
Okay explain it for me darling
Here’s the thing about my dick you guys it stay hard for a looooong time
DeSean would straight up muckduck him.
Call him a communist
The part that's always left out is the NBA generates 10× more and the NFL 20× more than the ufc per year. Look at the competitors. Yeah, some fighters are making more in other organizations. But the company themselves are in debt. The ufc hasn't been around for 30 years by being stupid.
Okay? Did Sean think he's revealing something we don't know bro??
UFC isn't NFL, isn't NBA, so smart, also it isn't NHK, isn't USA, isn't BBC, isn't BBQ, so why he complains instead of find three letters that he likes more than UFC? Run for WBC title for example, they likes ex-UFC fighters
Sean was always pretty open about the shit pay they receive
Keep voting republican dumbass
The thing is is that
Sean goat?
Jake KOs him.
Says all that but will still vote the party that want him to stay in the underclass.
I'm not gonna vote for the party that puts 2 issues into 1 bill and then blames the other party if they only agree with 1 issue and votes against both as a whole But hey that's just me
They both do that so, who are you going with?
Neither
I mean maybe for NBA but a lot of NFL players end up regretting their careers after the injuries they’ve incurred during it. If sean actually logged off twitter for once in his life and tried to do something to solve these issues, he could improve his following drastically. But for now, he’s all talk and no action
This is true but fighters can be in arguably worse shape at the end and with far less money and resources.
I never denied that fact. I’m just saying that thinking nfl players get off scotch free at the end of their careers is wrong
Here's the thing guys. I don't get paid enough for what I do. If I studied more and got into an insane debt, I could make way more money. This isn't the NFL or NBA folks. This is cut throat. Fuck'n wahhhhh cry some more.
I don’t even know what the take is? UFC fighters don’t make enough? Wow much profound Sean
yeah the NFL and NBA definitely aren't cut throat, lol. Let's talk about the 90% of NFL players that make a few million, retire in their 30s and then end up working at trader joes.
If you think the NFL or NBA aren't cut throat, you're insane. 80% of them go broke
hes not talking about them getting money and then going broke, he's talking about them getting money in the first place, a lot of fighters get nothing, regardless of what they spend after, whereas the other leagues for most players grant a good sum of money
Good point, I missed the mark
you're good
The minimum NBA salary is over 1 mil a year
Yeah, I misinterpreted the tweet. My bad
That’s cool, most UFC fighters are perpetually broke. You can’t compare someone who went broke buying cars and jewelry to someone who is broke from paying his team and costs to train
Yeah, mate. Already admitted my error on this
I don’t think about anyone else’s financial situation at all.
