Din Thomas has seen enough out of Sean Strickland after UFC 312 to vocalize frustrations about his fighting style.
Prior to his unanimous decision loss to Dricus Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) in Saturday’s middleweight title rematch, Strickland (29-7 MMA, 16-7 UFC) assured critics of his jab and teep-heavy approach to fights that things would be different, and he would lay it all on the line.
That didn’t prove to be the case. Strickland had yet another performance that didn’t align with his pre-fight promises and left many observers underwhelmed. Even before his nose was shattered by Du Plessis in the third round, there was much to be desired from Strickland.
