A highly anticipated Middleweight matchup between Alex Pereira and Sean Strickland happened at UFC 276. Many were excited for this bout due to Strickland’s critiques of Pereira’s kickboxing style and his belief that he could defeat Alex by only striking. Pereira would knockout Strickland in the first round and would later become Middleweight champion. But despite the trash talk from Strickland, there seemed to be a level of respect between the two fighters. A year later Strickland would travel to Pereira’s gym to train and learn from Alex what he did wrong in their matchup. After training together the two have showed support for each other’s careers publicly. #alexpereira #seanstrickland #shorts #ufc

Shows how tough Strickland is. Get knocked out by somebody and say hey I can learn from him. Then train with him. That's mental strength.
Real men right here
I fucking hate Sean but idc to give credit when due..Hes a fucking warrior
look what you are…
It's all one sparring session for Stricky, hehe
Holy cow Alex makes Sean look tiny
Chama had a convo w/ Strickland then was able to beat Izzy! What a God Chama is!!!!!!!!!
We all get the opportunity to be humbled from time to time. It’s up to us to practice humility. Good job, bro
Guy's a D-bag, but he took this loss like a man.
The friendship we never expected
Alex is the big bro of UFC supporting the other guys, its almost too wholesome
am i the only one who noticed alex getting rubbed down by some dude while watching strickland
And that's what the this sport should be all about
you talk a lot of shit, but you have a lot of heart👍🏽💪🏽✌🏽
Srtickland. You are just not any champion
good friends and warriors
This reminds me of being a kid in the projects. Fighting the opp then becoming best friends with the opp after.
Smart Guy! Great dude. Strickland will be big. He acts like someone above the average. Awesome seeing maybe the two best ones in the word training together.
The girls carried this presser ngl, I got Peña and Harrison winning their fights, then Harrison winning vs Peña in the future
Eu amo a amizade de um assassino e um psicopata ❤❤❤ Chama
Izzy will come back. He got bored.
CHAMA
this was seans mountain top in life. what a damn life achievement man beating izzy that way
Strickland losing the "Alpha male" role by the first time in life.
Love it. 2 OGs
Strickland the best friend of shama
I feel Sean is like a actor of a serie movie that many love but when somehow he die, everyone is sad about that
🫂
You dont stand and bang with anyone sean. You jab ….thats all
As much as people hate him, I personally love Sean Strickland. Dude holds back nothing and is unapologetically real.
F//k Perea, clock doesn't know the time, he's a ice skator.
Strickland is truly a humble fighter. He might be a bully when training but when a guy beats him in a real way he goes straight to their gym and lets them bully him to learn. He doesn't care about losing he cares about getting better.
I think it's awesome those two started training together after their match
Pereira only talks english to strickland 😂😂😂 thats friends for sure
As cool as it may be , I still think this friendship is kinda f*king whack, Strickland the biggest bully can’t bully Alex so instead he takes the knockout then trains w Alex against Alex’s biggest rival Izzy. Izzy losses to a boxer because he trains w an elite kickboxer now who is a contender for the same weight class. Then Alex moves up a weight class to train w Strickland and they never even got a rematch? Idk. Looks like a hide behind my big brother kind of moment and it’s annoying to see Strickland on top 👎🏾
Commentators need to be fired, making it sound like it’s the closest fight they’ve ever seen when the standup was close and hooker had minutes of control time and takedowns
Sean is a lot more humble than people realize.
