Xtreme Couture coach Eric Nicksick didn’t mince words while addressing Sean Strickland’s latest loss.
Strickland faced Dricus Du Plessis in a title rematch at UFC 312 this past weekend in Sydney. Du Plessis dominated Strickland for 25 minutes to earn a unanimous decision win. While Strickland is typically known as a defensive striker, the output seemed to be below his usual standards. Nicksick could be seen visibly frustrated in the corner as he failed to motivate Strickland to go for broke even in the championship rounds.
Nicksick didn’t sugarcoat his disappointment with Strickland when speaking of the loss.
