Sean Strickland fires coach Eric Nicksick

This fight made me realize how much I don’t like either of these two.

Strickland and his delusional assessment of his fighting style along with his try-hard to be shocking persona.

And nicksick going on every single podcast this week shitting on him is just as bad, if not worse. This guy has NO idea what it’s like being in there with someone who can put you in a coma to the cheers of an audience and needs to be reminded of that. Stricklands performance was dog shit but he has to live with that.

I don’t wanna appear like I’m coming off as a Sean Strickland defender, but he outstruck anderson fucking silva man. What’s delusional about his belief in his fighting style? Yeah, he didn’t seem to want it the other night, but that doesn’t change the original statement I made.
Edit: isreal adesanya.

We’ve all had these assholes in our lives. They force your hand and then inevitably play victim.

Watch. “Sean fired me for no reason”

Idk about all gyms, but its usually understood that any problems are settled in-house.

Youre supposed to behave as a family and team. Speaking like this makes the gym and its members look bad.

I didnt agree with it, but Eric didnt say anything untrue; my big issue is his “i want to train world champions” comment.

Sean was a world champion. They got there together.

I understand his frustration, but your number one guy had a bad fight and now you dont wanna train him anymore? Now hes not a champion? Anyone that has ever held that belt is a champion for life, period.

So to go on a show and say something like that about someone who has helped you as much as youve helped them…it just doesnt inspire loyalty.

And where ive trained, loyalty and honor are everything.

Is that it? Francis is a freak. And already had a coach before Nicksick

Quite a few notables on his Wikipedia, including Francis, Chris Curtis, Garbrandt, Meisha Tate, Aljo, Kape. I feel like I’ve been seeing him once or twice a card lately, so he’s a busy guy.

How many did he make into who they are and made into an elite fighter?

Wasn’t Cody always Team Alpha Male? That’s by far the best name there other than Francis who was already elite from his freakish power trained by the French black dude

Isn’t Aljo with Longo/Serra?

Yeah I agree. I’m sure there’s a couple of others but I think him and Strickland are the only ones to hold a title. He also coaches Dan Ige

Aljo and Merab both moved to train at Xtreme. The drama around that is why Matt no longer corners fighters.

Oh wow.

Crazy how loyal Merab is to Aljo. I figured he was to Longo and Serra too
