Eric Nicksick, coach of Sean Strickland, expressed deep disappointment following Strickland's lackluster performance against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 312. Strickland, known for his defensive striking, delivered an output below expectations, leading to a dominant unanimous decision loss. Nicksick pointedly referred to the fight as 'uninspired,' questioning Strickland’s dedication to becoming a champion versus simply collecting paychecks. His frustration was palpable, as he emphasized the importance of title fights and urged Strickland to commit seriously to his career in MMA.
It was uninspired fighting. It just seemed like he was sleepwalking. It was tough man. I was just trying to take him out of it.
I think he needs to evaluate what he wants to do in the sport. If it's just to make money, then that's great. Let us know.
