Sean Strickland took questions from the press at the official UFC Vegas 67 media day ahead of his main event matchup with …
yeah no I thought I got robbed man I thought I got robbed I mean I think a lot of people did the scorecard got interrupt was it close and let me tell you why it was close I’ll tell you why it was close you guys what you guys seen there was a technical sharpshooter that got gold chain Jesus Christ dude what the is that it’s a Mario guy again the PS4 guy doing the before the gold chain today I like that what is that is there a cross on there no it’s just a plain gold chain who let this this guy looks like he should be robbing at ATM machines anyways so what you have factual you know it too you’re a grown-ass man with a gold chain around your neck bro eating pumpkin pasta with your uncle after this silver okay I have my eyes are dilated but oh dude but uh yeah man you know what you guys seen there you guys seen there so I’ll tell you guys some my issue I have I have 80d right I have 80d so I go and do this is a funny story it’s funny you’ll like this so I go do uh all my fight interviews and there’s this uh girl I just learned the name Morgan and like she’s sitting in front of me asking me these questions of like so are you ready to kill a man in a week and I’m like Morgan like I know she’s a fairly attractive girl I’m like Morgan I can’t I can’t talk about killing a man with you looking back at me asking if I can’t even take that serious so then I had to go stare at a wall into the whole interview so what I’m telling you guys is the level of distraction in this head it’s I don’t know if it’s from CTE retardation or maybe I’m autistic like Pettis I don’t know so yeah they answer your question to come full circle to this question what you guys seen there was a matrix level solid boxing not one punch landed I’ve seen everything I was living in the Matrix I was living The Matrix like Bobby green before he went to sleep I mean that’s how good it was but you have judges that don’t know about fighting and they see a big scary black man throwing big punches and they’re like oh man that’s that’s scary that’s scary he won the fight and another thing too another thing too everyone’s like well you had a scratch on your nose let me tell you guys something I’m white all right fall beats me up there could be cold weather cold weather will damage me the moment the seasons change it looks like I did a five round fight black people in Winter what happens your skin gets harder Chris Kerr is my best friend I’m I’ve witnessed this the man’s skin becomes tougher and harder so let’s not talk about damage if anything much racist racism straight racism we gotta get this out of the sport 100 100 I continue I don’t even know where to go so how did this fight come about then I mean have you been itching to get back in there because of this or did they come to you ah God no I was I was currently playing in the snowboarding trip and then uh Mick calls me I’m like oh Mick is gonna ask me to do something I don’t want to do and uh Mick is actually a solid guy he again to work with him bro it is it’s absolute pleasure you know Sean was a little rough Sean Shelby was a little rough but Mick I like Mick anyway so he calls me and I’m like Mick you know he has a little Australian accent the Suave he probably just got done wrestling the crocodile having a threesome and he calls me and he’s like hey you want this fight and I’m like God damn it Mick I haven’t done anything for a month I’ve been sitting on my ass I’ve been playing a snowboarding trip I’ve been practicing my wheelies my little my clutch feather and he calls me and I’m like ah and then his Suave Australian ass says we’ll pay you a decent amount of money and I said well God damn it I’m your Huckleberry let’s go fight a man did anybody around you try to talk you out of it and say like hey maybe maybe this isn’t the right time no no I mean you know there’s always those cowards in your in your in your in your head or your camp but you know what Eric my man I told Eric I said Eric we’re gonna go in battle and Eric’s like it let’s go into battle he goes but if you don’t listen to me I’m gonna kick you out of the Jam I was like all right man I’ll try my best uh national uh what what do you know about him what did you know about him did you bother learning anything about him so I don’t I don’t I’m not gonna try to say that name man I’m just let’s just call him the Frenchie the Frenchie and if we learned anything about the French what are the French best at giving up so I mean I’ve been really watched him fight I know he likes to I know he likes to bang at those big punches but you know he’s still French man it’s a hard thing that’s a hard thing to move past there’s a lot of history of cowardice to move on from when you’re French so you know maybe maybe he’s gonna prove a statement maybe he’s going to say that his country is finally you know left the cowardice behind but I don’t I don’t know I mean all the only thing the French are good at is having fairs and and giving up and losing fights but we’ll find out maybe he’s different have you ever considered a job as a stand-up comedian at some point in your career no man I actually I don’t know I just I look at you people and I just like to make fun of you guys I can’t help it you know I can’t is there is there there’s a guy over there you’re actually you’re a decent looking guy I’m not gonna make fun of you you got the you got you trying to look like Jack what’s this guy’s name the Wolverine Guy The Wolverine guys is that what you’re going for you’re going for that I tell this guy guy anyways no I just you know I like I like you guys I like to talk to you guys I can always tell the ones that don’t like me though I feel like this guy has a little bit of a little hate bonding for me no don’t you lie to me you got a little hate boner for me it’s okay it’s okay I forgive you I don’t like myself half the time since I’m gonna look myself in the mirror I’m like this I want to just punch the mirror I understand it I understand it all right continue so the last thing I was gonna ask you I mean based on what happened to the last fight based on the judging all that will you fight any differently I mean are you have you talked about hey I need to change something up because of the way these judges are looking at my style foreign bro you know the merch I’m not gonna I’m gonna say I’m gonna say you’re a good looking guy you’re a good looking guy but you know the merchant in Star Wars with the wings I don’t watch Star Wars I hate Star Wars to me it’s a bunch of gay guys like saves but I did watch it you know maybe it was like back when like Anakin Skywalker you know the thing with the wings the merchant guy tell me that does not gonna look like him tell me just a little bit just a little bit tell me you see it don’t you you you don’t lie to me anyways now since I got that thought out of my head and we should please will somebody please take this man’s face and put it right next to that character just so we can all agree on this but what was the question change your fighting style or approach what you’re doing there any differently based on oh yeah no again I again I got knocked out by a big Brazilian for four months five months ago I fought kind of like a I kind of fought like a we can agree we can agree you know maybe I would have grunted more thrown bigger punches maybe throwing a couple kicks that’s what the judges like they don’t give a about striking they just want you to so you know maybe I would a little bit more up man I don’t know listen to coaches Maybe hey Sean no this guy earlier you took your glasses off and said that’s rough just to confirm where you’re talking about our faces yeah no you guys no I mean I will say out of the let me tell you guys something about the medium there’s some rough looking these guys look like they spent a lot of time on the internet when you’re when you post something on Twitter and you see a when you see a nameless comment like oh you’re a piece of I just want you to know what I’m looking at as probably the people to post it but continue and uh from one man of culture to another what was your favorite part of Prince Harry’s book wait press here is what you you know you know I’m talking about Prince Harry’s book came out this week oh my God you’re a big fan of the royal family isn’t that isn’t that I mean when they’re not children but uh I mean isn’t that what they do isn’t that what you guys do you and then you cover it up but anyways sorry I mean the royal family bro that if anything that is just like that’s a reflection on England that you wake up every day and you say hey and this is why America is better you wake up every day and you say look at this guy that was born into this I’m Gonna Worship this guy I’m gonna follow him that is the most pathetic I’ve ever seen you know what America says you got four years maybe eight and if you it up you better have private security fall on you for the rest of your life because someone’s out to get you but you you say hey you’re born into this we’re gonna follow you and just you guys got to be better and Prince Harry I don’t know about that guy who would you have as the king of England you know I was a big fan on uh I like I like when they said they’re gonna get out of the EU I like that you know do you like that were you were you no you look a little bit more liberal I I voted to remain oh yeah of course you bought a room and that’s what I’m talking about like the cowardice is so deep rooted in your country that you just can’t root it out I bet you want to get rid of pocket knives too don’t you all you can have is a Fork to defend yourself I’ve got three on me right now well you’re an American bro you should have a gun on you but yeah anyways I don’t know man England you guys I don’t know you guys are a lost cause man just give up your country the Middle East or something because you know just give it up Terry wrote in his book that he he frostbite on his penis I’m just curious if that’s ever happened to you you’re out in the snow snowboarding oh man I how do you get frostbite on your penis I mean I guess I guess when you’re out and like he was the Middle East I guess when you got nothing anything’s the whole you know I was just curious you’re criticizing the English but you were just criticizing the French which of the countries do you hate the most oh man you know what I’ll tell you when I was arrested the one good thing about the French I was arrested charges but it was two felonies and like I had a lawyer say you’re going to jail for like a minimum three years and I was like 18 19. I was like who am I going to be after I come in jail probably come out like a white supremacist I don’t know if you guys ever been to jail who’s been to jail this guy’s all hey Boba Fett he’s been in jail but what you do is I’ll tell you guys what prison or I only went to jail I was in jail for a very long time I’m not a hardened man I scared the I almost fled the country you get in there right you walk in and then if you’re white which you know I’m I am a white man the white supremacists come up to you and they say and they give you the they give you the I’ll stay down because I want to be in shot but they give you the the tour they say well we are part of the uh the air in Brotherhood and you’re like oh oh I don’t I don’t think I belong here but I guess I’m here and they say well here’s the rules they help you make your bread they help you lay down The rules they say well here’s the thing you can’t go to the bath the more we’re having dinner if you shower at the black guy you gotta fight him and I’m like and I stopped the guy and I was like spider I remember spider I just remember spider I’m like listen man I’m not like I’m not really racist like I’m not really like you know it’s not really what I believe in and he goes well let me stop you right now he goes if you don’t join us you know you you’re pretty much on your own you’re kind of and as they’re walking me into County as they’re walking to me and I walk because it’s segregated I walk past the segregation the blacksail and you have all these Chris Curtis looking grabbing the bars threatening me telling me they’re gonna kill me so now I’m in this now I’m in this predicament think about what you would do as a white 18 year old I’m in this predicament there’s a man spider telling me that pretty much if I don’t join their their Club their club I’m gonna go pretty much be outcasted and targeted so yeah what I’m trying to say you guys I’m not made for prison so back to why I like the French back to why I like the French and oh yeah funny story about spider spider I don’t know what you’re doing man but you hope you’re doing well if you’re watching this I you might yeah the swask on his hand right that’s how stupid I ain’t made a little swastik on his hand so I tell spider I’m my spider I’m like Spiderman like bro when you get out of jail like you know I’m like 19 I’m like when you get out of jail like how do you get back into life like how do you go and get a job with a swask on his hand spider looks at me he’s like oh man I’m I’m mocking it now and he’s like in here they know I earned it and I’m like what do you mean earned it the Spider goes you gotta earn it and I tell spider I’m like spider I’m not in here for a long time I’m not hearing mine so anyways back to why I like French on jury selection on jury selection of me about to you know on the jury selection the the day we all look forward to when we’re going to fight the government I bought a plane ticket to France and I wasn’t go join the French Foreign Legion because you know what I wasn’t wanted by Interpol and so I walked the D.A and I almost said listen you this is what I want and my lawyers like they’re not going to give you this and I said well in my head I’m like I don’t give a because I’m the fleet of France I’m gonna join the French Foreign Legion you know yeah I’ll go be a Frenchie so luckily they took the deal my lawyer was shocked but if it wasn’t for you dirty Frenchies I probably would have at least did about a year to three years in jail so if it wasn’t for you guys with the French Foreign Legion I probably would have took the plea and did a couple years in jail that was a lovely story thank you for sharing it so I like French I like the French are we good [Music]
