“I guess there was a payment dispute” - Xtreme Couture Coach reveals internal dispute between Sean Strickland and Eric Nicksick. 

 

The drama broke out later Sean StricklandCoach, Eric Nicksick, criticized the performance of the former master against Dricus du Plyming On UFC 312. Justin Jaynes, who is one of the valued trainers in Xtreme Couture, reveals that the dispute works deeper than what we initially perceived.

What happened between Sean Stickland and his coach Eric Nicksick?

After the star performance of Sean Strickland against Dricus du Plessis in their first fight on UFC 297 people believed that “Tarzan” would be more than ready to recover the belt of the championship in the rematch. However, in the main event UFC 312The Strickland approach fell particularly miniature, which led to many doubts whether he really wanted to regain his title.

Du Plessis looked like a million bucks, but Strickland seemed to be a part of his strategy. Strickland corner, especially his trainer Eric Nicksick, persistently urged him to enhance the volume and intensity of his strikes, but he looked very confused in the octopus.

Coach Strickland, Eric Nicksick, was not ecstatic with the show Strickland and in Ariel Helwani, he said – he said –

“I think he must assess what he wants to do in this sport. If it’s just earning money, it’s great. Let us know. I want to train world champions, so my motivations are different. So I think that just showing and doing it, and not really supporting it, was a bit inspiring for me. ”

Strickland and Nicksick developed a relationship that goes beyond the trainer and warrior. They were friends, and the former middleweight master still considers Nicksick a friend, but Strickland will probably not have Nicksick in his corner during future fights.

IN Instagram videoStrickland said –

“I like Eric. He is my friend. He will still be my friend. Will it probably be in my corner? Probably not. We have so many great guys in Xtreme. We have so many savages who can turn me on. But the whole fight camp was only a fight. It was AF*and we all have excuses why we didn’t win or why we won or we should not win. We all fucking have excuses and they don’t matter. ”

Justin Jaynes is an MMA warrior and a coach at Xtreme Couture. According to Jaynes, he knew Nicksick for over 15 years and considers him a personal friend who also suffered him too many fights.

After a miniature review of their relationship, Jaynes said that he was surprised by public criticism of Nicksick towards Sean Stickland’s performance. He revealed the moment when Nicksick sent him an emotional film after Strickland defeated Israel Adesanya to become a middleweight champion. Now Jaynes is surprising that Nicksick finished 180 after two failures Strickland with DDP. Jaynes thinks that coach Sean Stickland, Eric Nicksick, abandoned him.

In an interview with TensevenmmaJaynes said –

“It just surprised me and a bit strange. There must be something between the lines, and then Eric talks about how he can reduce bonds with Sean, and I being a warrior, in my career there were points where friends, fans lose and abandoned me. You win in MMA, everyone wins, your trainers win, your fans win, your friends win. But when you lose, you lose yourself. ”

“I saw the movie Eric, who talked about Sean’s performance, said that he did not want to train him anymore, I felt that Eric basically abandoned him, and that really hit me in nerves.”

Jaynes also sent a video on his Instagram Sharing your thoughts on this subject, expressing that he disagrees with the hatred of Strickland from people. Although Nicksicka does not slander, he also does not agree that he abandoned his warrior in the low phase of his career.

He then explains that during the 15-minute phone Eric Nicksick told him some internal information related to the transaction problem between him and Stickland.

“When entering this fight, they talked for payments. How much he deserved to pay, how much Sean wanted to pay and offered to pay. It seems to me that there were some payments along the line. Again, I hope that Eric will get to the series, and he can explain deeper because he did not come out in public and talked about it. ”

UFC champion Justin Gaethje provides update on possible MMA retirement

UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje has provided a new update on his future retirement from mixed martial arts.

Following on from his championship triumph at UFC Freedom 250, there were plenty of questions regarding what exactly would be next for Justin Gaethje.

Alongside that, some have suggested that Justin Gaethje should ride off into the sunset and retire, given that he has now finally achieved his ultimate goal. Up to this point, there hasn't been a concrete answer one way or the other from the champ.

In a recent interview, Justin Gaethje had the following to say on the subject.

Justin Gaethje discusses retirement

“I've fought twice this year, I have deep bone bruise in my knee, I can't punch with my hand still so I really need to recover and I know for a fact I won't fight again this year,†he said on the MightyCast YouTube channel.

“I do know I've just performed better than I've ever performed and statistically that shouldn't have happened… I have a family, I've always trusted and told my parents, my brothers, my sister, my coaches, that I need them to have a conversation with me whenever the time needs to come.

“I really rely on them and lean on them to help me through this choice, I think it's a big choice. But I do think I'm a business and I need to approach this like a business… I need to have different conversations and see what life looks like. I haven't made a decision, I don't know (whether I will return),†he continued.

Lerone Murphy proposes judging rule change following Movsar Evloev loss

Lerone Murphy proposes judging rule change following Movsar Evloev loss

UFC feathereweight Lerone Murphy has given his thoughts on a possible rule change in judging following his defeat to Movsar Evloev.

Earlier this year, Lerone Murphy lost his undefeated record in mixed martial arts when he suffered a majority decision defeat to Movsar Evloev in London. Now, Evloev will challenge Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 333 for the UFC featherweight championship.

Lerone Murphy hasn't been back in the cage since then, but he has certainly made his voice heard, particularly regarding the judging of the fight, which included a point deduction for Evloev.

In a recent interview, Lerone Murphy spoke about that in more detail.

Lerone Murphy on judging after Evloev loss

“It's a weird fight because nothing much happens in the first round,†Murphy told FightersAdvice. “The first round is a toss-up, nothing happens and I think, I'm sorry go away from the subject, but I think that the judging shouldn't need to always be 10-9 because if nothing happens in a round, you can't just give it to one guy because you favor him. If nothing happens in a round, it's 10-10 or 9-9 or whatever. I think that should be brought in.â€

Quotes via Bloody Elbow

Regardless of whether or not there will be changes to judging, it will be interesting to see how Lerone attempts to bounce back from this as he continues his pursuit of UFC gold.

As for Evloev, he knows that he faces the biggest test of his career when he goes up against Volkanovski for the belt – but given his ability to edge past tough opponents, it wouldn't be at all surprising to see him get the job done.
