You can't be ****phobic, trans phobic, racist, and then cry about your child hood. I had a rough child hood and I'm sure many have, if you're growing up and hearing this hatred he speaks about others who are suffering hatred towards them, abuse, psychological and physical.

I'm no saint, I have a lot of hatred in me but I speak to professionals about it, not make it the MMA communities problem. I'm trying to work on my hatred of pedophiles, and you probably know why I hate them. Those are the people you should be talking **** about.

Good on you trying to better yourself man. I applaud you for that because many people don't. Here is the thing.

Sean is a ****phobic, trans phobic, racist ? Says who ? The internet ? Do you personally know strickland ? or have you seen his dumbass speeches online and decided that you know everything about what kind of man he is ?

Strickland is surrounded by people highly regarded (Eric Nicksick, Chris Curtis) that I am sure would not be associated with him if he was the ************* that is all the things you said.

I think I may be wrong, But I’m 99% sure as Strickland said this in interview, and Bisping did too. Strickland was a ************* person before he went into MMA, but once he got into MMA, he wanted to be a better person so he grow his hair out so he won’t look like a white suprimesist 

Nowadays he’s a better person, he’s no saint but I don’t he’s a ************* either, he made himself a functional person in society. I’m also not going to judge Strickland of who he was a decade ago

Says Sean, 
@VicStrk 


There's many interviews of him, that's not the type of **** you just say it's something you believe it may not be for always and I am not saying he's hopeless or a terrible human, obviously very hurt but when you hurl such insults you gotta be ready for some stuff to come back your way.

In the end, Sean is the middleweight champ and changed his life, I'm still here in the past. There is no way I am trying to down this man in that regard, but insults wise I mean what is ok and not now? I'd like to rest this subject because I believe it will only upset people and it's gonna be what it is.

The craziest part of this is that Ian Garry called Sean a hypocrite for this, not like Ian Garry chat **** about Magny family and Geoff Neal mugshot, then when Sean chat **** to him, he tried to sue Garry. Ian Garry need to be quiet of calling Sean a hypocrite, because Garry the exact same

P.s I don’t want Sean to play mr morality. I like Sean because he a funny ******** who seem genuine

You right. It is what it is. let's not get all deep and have a conversation about morality in a ******* MMA forum 🤣

On another note I really hope that Chris Curtis wins this one. I remember seeing somewhere that he did not want to be a sidekick to strickland or some **** like that. He wants to have sucess of his own as a fighter and I gotta imagine that your friend that you train a lot with becoming a champ fills you with motivation.

People also forget Strickland made fun of Felipe Colares for getting hit and dying by a bus

And that one female amateur fighter Dana posted on instagram, that died in a car crash.

I also get anoyed at people make Sean  a victim for Dricus bring up him getting abused as a child, while laughing at Sean say thing just as bad or worse, either both is ok or neither is

I personally don’t care about either being ********, they’re both likible ********s, but people moaning on Sean being a victim is annoying

...The **** ? Can you read ? My initial comment was that a lot of people are saying weird **** about "cry baby" sean and that dricus would be talking about his childhood (something i don't belive he will). I then responded with my opnion on sean online image and then agread that it's better to just stop the argument. 

I brought morality into it ? Get the **** out here with that BS.
Who the F is Crying or laughting at what strickland or Dricus said or will say ?  I don't give a ****. I was originally talking about weirdos online.

*Edited 
Sight.... you edited your **** out, so my text don't make much sense now. Like I said before, it is what it is with sean and dricus no sense talking about morality

@LilBro123 
seeing as it is in like 2 weeks I highly doubt they are going to replace either of the fights which absolutely sucks. They should have found a replacement fight as soon as Jan rakic was out and they didn’t and now that another fight is cancelled due to injury this card has fallen to **** and there’s no time left to do anything about it. They are just gonna keep hyping up the Strickland drama and hope that sells, but in reality nobody is paying $500 for nosebleeds to this go to this card.

Being from Toronto and not having an event here in a while.. i was really hoping to go to this card. But the ridiculous ticket prices and constant fight fallouts make it tough to justify going to this event. Smh
