I thought it was just me but yes that philly shell was complete bullshyt. He waited to the last 5 seconds. to get "violent" . He did this against Uriah. Depending on who win next week between Jared,Brunson,Rob, and Izzy he deserves to get destroyed by any of those four. He has the personality just not the skills to go with it.
strickland one of the best defensive fighters in the game. its not a real philly shell or anything close to it because well its mma - and if bisping wasn't a career brawler he'd have spent more time talking about the way strickland parries lets him defend and also control distance at the same time

but instead of giving him his props for a career built off the strength of that, they mad he won't play into the act and try to launch dude's lip into the stands :unimpressed:

I mean it was working but I've never seen the shell look like that...maybe it was just some other shyt he was doing and I'm tripping :mjlol: Like I'm trying to think if an actual philly shell would even work with the threat of kicks and shyt :jbhmm:

It was a long night for breh once his takedowns weren't working.
MMA fighters don't really use the shell. Like you say it's too much shyt to defend against. The only one I can think of is Bobby Green and his last two fights been waay better then Sean's. If he tries the shyt against Izzy hell be sleep in 2 rounds.

I agree but the way Sean talk that's what your expect.

All I know how to do is box and I don't even use the philly unless on accident :mjlol:

I'm just picturing doing it in a mma setting and getting like...immediately knee'd or some shyt

Strickland persona is cringe white boy weirdo shyt but I can always appreciate someone winning a mma fighting literally off of hands :ld:

I keep hearing about Hermansson but this is the first time I've seen him fight. Had this shyt playing in the back and he was getting pieced up. Don't see anything with this guy.

Sean knew Jack couldnt take him down so I'm sure that's why he stuck with it

agreed. he took advantage of an aging grandfather jacare and a lazy gastelum, and nothing else.

the vettori fight made things clear, if the cannonier fight already hadn't.

strickland told it straight that jack was nothing special, and took care of him going 60% it looked like.
