UFC: Israel Adesanya Sides with Dricus Du Plessis in Sean Strickland Rematch: ‘He’s Just So Weird’

Israel Adesanya sees Dricus Du Plessis going two-up on Sean Strickland.

After coming up short against Du Plessis in August, ‘The Last Stylebender’ will sit back and watch two other fighters compete over the UFC middleweight title for the first time in more than five years. Though no official announcements have been made, ‘DDP’ is expected to run it back with Strickland in the South African’s home country.

Meanwhile, Adesanya will look to fight his way back towards the top of the rankings in hopes of one day making history as a three-time middleweight titleholder.

Until then, the Nigerian-born New Zealander offered his prediction for the impending sequel scrap between the last two men to have beaten him inside the Octagon.

“They already fought before. I fought both of them,” Adesanya said on The Adam Corolla Show. “I think Du Plessis might get it done again. He’s just so weird. The way he fights is awkward. He’s stubborn. No matter how tired he gets, he’ll still just throw, just to stop you in your tracks or stop you from doing what you’re doing. And he’ll just throw and hope. It wouldn’t really land, but it would stop what you’re trying to progress” (h/t BJPenn.com).

Sean Strickland Will finally get his rematch with Du Plessis

Du Plessis bested Strickland at UFC 297 in January via split decision to claim the middleweight title. Since then, ‘Tarzan’ has been clamoring for a rematch. All signs point to his wish being granted after returning to the win column courtesy of a win against Paulo Costa in June.

‘DDP’ is a perfect 8-0 in his UFC run while Strickland has won four of his last five.

Sean Strickland Reignites Feud with David Goggins: “I will end your little ass … You’re back in Afghanistan, son.”

Just when you thought the rivalry between Sean Strickland and David Goggins was dead and buried, ‘Tarzan’ had to go and dig it back up.

Earlier this year, Strickland rubbed a lot of fight fans and military members the wrong way when he suggested that there wasn’t a single Navy SEAL who could hang with him in the gym. Ex-SEAL Mitch Aguiar stepped up to the plate and agreed to spar with Strickland. Needless to say, things didn’t go well for Aguiar, but he more than earned Strickland’s respect.

Responding to Strickland’s disrespectful comments, David Goggins, another former Navy SEAL and ultramarathon runner, agreed to strap on some gloves and go a few rounds with the former middleweight champion on one condition.

“Three days training with me and I will be more than happy to put the gloves on and spar with you,” Gogging said in a post on social media.

Strickland welcomed Goggins to come to his gym in Las Vegas anytime he wanted to put his money where his mouth is.

“This is why I make fun of you,” Strickland replied. “I live in Las Vegas, you live in Las Vegas….. I train at xtreme couture everyday, the door is always open… instead let’s get on the tiktok and make a video lol..@mitch_aguiar showed…. all you gotta do is walk in the door.”

“Cracks me up to hear David Garggle Goggins rant… ‘I’m old school’ as he’s on tiktok ‘let’s handle this like men.’ Ok sure. I’m in Vegas, you’re in Vegas….. I train at the same gym everyday.. IM EASY TO FIND!” he added in a post on ‘X’. “You on the other hand…. you just live on tiktok….location?” (h/t Middle Easy).

Sean Strickland Rekindles his rivalry with David goggins

From there, things quieted down between the two and Strickland seemingly squashed his beef with Goggins. That was until during a recent interview with The Schmo when ‘Tarzan’ opened those old wounds and poured a heap of salt into them.

Sean Strickland has some really harsh words for David Goggins:

"I will break your f#cking face dude, I will injure your little ass bro. I'll f#cking f#ck you up so bad, you'll think you're back in Afghanistan"

“Let me tell you why I make fun of Navy SEALs. The moment these c**ts become influencers, it’s fair game,” Strickland said. “You’re supposed to be a badass Navy SEAL. You’re supposed to be merking motherf***ers. Now I see you roided out on the gram talking about staying hard. You don’t know what hard is. You’re an influencer. I could f**k you if I wanted to Goggins.”

“With that being said, Goggins, I will break your f**king face, dude. I will end your little ass, bro. I’ll f**k you up so bad you’ll think you’re back in Afghanistan, son,” he added. “You don’t want a piece of this. You better stay your a** on the f**king running.”

“I do a man’s game. I’m not running like a little woman. Prey runs motherf***er. You’re going to be running from me,” he continued. “If you want a piece my dog, come to Xtreme. You’re in Vegas. I’m in Vegas. All you’ve got to do is get those little f**king legs and walk. You could jog to the f**king place. I am there. I will sodomize you, Googins.”

Goggins has not responded to Strickland as of this writing.

Glover Teixeira Explains Addition Of Sean Strickland To Alex Pereira’s UFC 307 Camp

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira has been getting help from an ex-opponent and fellow former middleweight titleholder while in Utah for his upcoming defense.

Pereira has returned to the “Beehive State” for the first time since his debut at 205 pounds in July 2023, which saw him get the better of Jan B?achowicz on the scorecards.

Since then, “Poatan” has achieved two-division champ status and successfully defended the light heavyweight crown twice. And having violently stopped Jamahal Hill and Ji?í Procházka this year, Pereira’s third assignment of 2024 headlines UFC 307 this weekend.

The Brazilian looks set for another striking showdown, this time opposite a fellow knockout artist in Khalil Rountree. And to boost his chances of another victory, Pereira and his team have turned to Sean Strickland.

Teixeira Touts Strickland’s Ability To Hang With Pereira In Training

During a recent interview with The Schmo, Glover Teixeira was asked about the impact Strickland’s presence has as Pereira’s camp for UFC 307 comes to a close in Salt Lake City.

While the American was emphatically flattened by Pereira when they shared the Octagon in 2022, Teixeira suggested that “Tarzan” is one of few who can go toe-to-toe with the former GLORY Kickboxing champ in sparring.

“Sean is, you know, incredibly tough. He’s good everywhere. He’s a great mixed martial artist,” Teixeira said. “He knows how to train well, you know? And he’s a guy that can, to be honest, hang with Alex. Alex can push his pace a little more. We love that Sean (came) over here today and helped Alex.”

Pereira will hope that his work with Strickland and the others who’ve been a part of his latest fight camp pays dividends on Saturday night, when “The War Horse” will have a monumental upset over the Brazilian standout in his sights.

Sean Strickland Details His Beef with ‘Beta Male B*tch’ Khalil Rountree

Sean Strickland has opened up about his beef with Khalil Rountree Jr., which he says stems from some past encounters with the man.

The world first saw a glimpse of the beef back in March of 2022. Rountree defeated Karl Roberson at UFC Vegas 50 and later burst into tears during his post-fight interview. Sean Strickland took the opportunity to poke fun at the man and blasted him on X (formerly known as Twitter.)

Gayest shit I've ever seen and I love bi women so ive seen a lot of gay… Yeah you're really special, a special little snow flake… This man is the definition of a PC BETA male. You all would hate him….. seriously being in the same room as him makes me cringe pic.twitter.com/jsiNrF1lBY

— Sean Strickland (@SStricklandMMA) March 14, 2022

Strickland would prove hypocritical down the road, though, as he would burst into tears while on a podcast with Theo Von in 2023. Fans didn’t forget what Strickland said about Rountree, and he did face a little flak for it.

Sean Strickland opens up about his dislike for Khalil Rountree Jr.

In an interview with MMA journalist The Schmo, Sean Strickland finally took the time to explain where all this apparent dislike for Rountree comes from. Not only did Strickland accuse Rountree of being in a cult, but he also told a story that involved ‘The War Horse’ being a little too sensitive for his liking.

Apparently, Rountree wanted to demonstrate an MMA move on a woman, and she made a joke that really got under the skin of ‘The War Horse’.

“Like a white woman that if you were to see in a bar and it was closing down, you would just be like, ‘I’m going home alone,’” Strickland told The Schmo. “Like this is the level of white woman we’re talking about. Anyways, Khalil goes and grabs her and says, ‘Hey, I’m going to. I want to show a move.’ And grabs her. And she makes a joke. She makes a joke. She goes, ‘Oh, se*ual harassment.’”

“And Khalil, this little bi*ch, beta male bi*ch, he goes, ‘I’m a black man,’” Strickland continues, enraged. “Khalil, are you a black man? We don’t know yet. You don’t sound like a black man. He goes, ‘I’m a black man in America. You don’t accuse me of that.’ And after that, that moment, when I realized Khalil is a liberal c*ck beta male. We can’t be friends anymore.”

What do you think about Sean Strickland not liking Khalil Rountree Jr. for being a liberal?

Sean Strickland set to train with Alex Pereira for UFC 307 title fight with Khalil Rountree

Former undisputed middleweight champion, Sean Strickland has been drafted into the training camp of former foe, Alex Pereira ahead of the Brazilian’s undisputed light heavyweight title fight against challenger, Khalil Rountree at UFC 307 next weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Strickland, who retains the number one rank at the middleweight limit, most recently landed a split decision win over former championship challenger, Paulo Costa back in May at UFC 302, earning himself a title rematch against the incumbent, Dricus du Plessis.

And as for Alex Pereira, the former two-division champion has already twice defended his 205lbs crown since his ascension last November, most recently taking out former gold holder, Jiri Prochazka with a stunning second round high-kick knockout win on short-notice at UFC 303 back in June during International Fight Week.

Tasked with knocking back the title contention of surging Rountree next month in the main event of UFC 307, the incoming title chaser most recently landed a one-sided eventual third round knockout win over another former championship challenger, Anthony Smith.

And despite landing a stunning first round knockout win over former middleweight gold holder, Strickland during his own rise to the title back in 2022, Pereira will draft the outspoken contender into his camp in Conneticut to help prepare him for Rountree — who has a rather colorful history of his own with Strickland.

Enjoying an impressive run this year alone, prior to his knockout of Czech Republic native, Prochazka would flatten former champion, Jamahal Hill in his first light heavyweight title defense — felling the Dana White’s Contender Series with a blistering finish in the opening round of their UFC 300 headliner.
