Jourdain vs. Woodson
Charles Jourdain, DEC
Jourdain needs to get this to the ground, could be FOTN for me. I'm really interested in hearing when Charles' speaks about the work he's done on his mental.

The average person means nothing, but the regard we hold these people in and that Sean is the only one? I'm fine with this, it's not new.

Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R3
My African king Dricus Du Plessis is bringing the belt back to South Africa. Similar to Bueno Silva I was hoping he would be taking it from Adesanya but Strickland will have to do.
Pennington vs. Bueno Silva
Mayra Bueno Silva, SUB, R3
Huge fan of Mayra, had the chance of meeting her and she’s as bubbly and sweet in person. I told her I couldn’t wait to see her beat Pena and get the belt but Pennington will have to do.
Magny vs. Malott
Mike Malott, DEC
Malott has looked unstoppable but this is his first real test. Magny is no joke and a crafty veteran so we’ll see just how good Malott really is.
Allen vs. Evloev
Movsar Evloev, DEC
On paper a very close fight but leaning Evloev to implement his wrestling and take a decision.
Jourdain vs. Woodson
Charles Jourdain, TKO, R1
Similar to Jasmine Charles is getting a lay up in his hometown. Jourdain by however he wants.
Lainesse vs. Patterson
Yohan Lainesse, TKO, R1
Can’t trust Patterson’s chin, especially when the one thing Yohan has a lot of is power.
Jasudavicius vs. Cachoeira
Jasmine Jasudavicius, SUB, R3
Easy fight for Jasmine, expecting a similar outcome to Zombie Girl’s last fight against Miranda.
Gordon vs. Flick
Jimmy Flick, SUB, R2
Since retiring Flick has looked really bad but Malcolm isn’t exactly a world beater either. Both are coming off of tough losses and the loser is definitely getting cut, taking Flick as I think his ceiling is slightly higher but tough pick to make.

Marc-André Barriault, DEC
I’ve doubted Barriault enough, he seems to have really come into his own and is entering the prime of his career. If he follows a similar game-plan to Hermanson, I could see him getting the job done.

That was a point I was trying to prove, that when it's me, "****"
When it's Sean, he's so brave, he speaks for us, he's the people's person.
If Sean wasn't a fighter you people although you are sheep would consider him ****, but because he's a fighter and has the middleweight title he's someone you idiots look up to. If Sean can say what he wants and wants free speech, then don't act like a ***** when I talk **** about him.

I don’t care to hear about anyone’s mental trauma. I haven’t heard anyone say Sean is a brave man for doing what he does, I think people enjoy the fact that he has no filter. It’s also just annoying seeing you post about him every day; it’s a new paragraph about something you have or how Sean has offended you. I don’t think calling him out on his bs is going to change anything. If you actually want to make change or prove a point there’s much more effective ways than talking into the void in an mma forum. Obviously you will be met with resistance because nobody gives a ****, people want to talk mma

Second, Childhood Trauma? Absolutely not, I'm not being raised in a Trailer Park(nor am I making fun of those who grew up in this situation) I'm just saying that I’m not deep about that topic, but it's funny that the people who say “I'm not going to read everything” are now Social Media Psychologists.
Short Version of the Original Post: A big part of Strickland's current success is his trash talk, but it won't be effective this time because DDP simply doesn't care about that. Strickland sold himself and his fans bought him as a Man without filters and with thick skin, but the events that occurred this last time have exposed him as the opposite (the man without limits is now asking for fair play).
Now a small paragraph on why people should pick against Stickland against DDP:
Cardio is important in the fight game, but as a main weapon it is somewhat overrated: Fighters who are “Cardio Machine” (Strickland, Covignton, Belal, etc.) are Pillow Fisted and have Almost Zero Finishing ability. Fighters only need to have OK Cardio (Decent or “Good Cardio”) and know how to distribute their energy (moments of explosiveness and avoid adrenaline dumps) to have durability and finishing ability (examples: Gaethje, Volkanovski, Prochazka, etc.)
