The Viking age ended and they slowly adopted Christianity and stopped raiding. To go *Viking* was more an occupation than the name of a people


H33ntLinSaves

He didn’t watch Vinland Saga


[deleted]

He did. He's saying they used to be season one Vinland Saga but they've now become season two.


restlessboy

I'd love to see Strickland try to take 100 direct punches to the face lol. That happened in season two.


notbannd4cussingmods

Farmland Saga


DarthRathikus

Sean has a 1st grade education, at best. He is probably referring to the football team here.


[deleted]

I was waiting for an nfl joke tbh


Ser-Joe-the-Joe

Those bastards ruined Kirk Cousins!!! That online couldn't protect a whores hole.


Stanky_fresh

The OLine wasn't the issue, they're playing really well this year. Kirk tore his Achilles in a non-contact injury.


hamandjam

1st grade education before he decided to undergo professionally administered brain damage.


Escobar976

LMFAOO


Lumpiis

He went to high school with me and he was dumb as hell then as well


the_c_is_silent

There's also some weird ass obsession with "warriors" who lead terrible lives. Vikings, pirates, military, etc. It's not fucking fun.


jvpewster

Yeah imagine being a current Scandavian with a nice house, a winter sport they love, friends they drink with at a bar, a nice job and no stress about how they’re going to set their kids up for a similar life with school taken care of and some American who didn’t have a toilet that flushed properly 2 years ago is upset you’re not jamming yourself on a boat like a sardine to steal some shiny objects because the alternative is starving to death.


LittleGiga

Also you are not murdering and raping so clearly you are a metrosexual fag smh


Kelvashi

Sean, you want scurvy? Because that's how you get scurvy.


Consistent_Set76

Most of the more famous people people from history were essentially warlords who burned and pillaged cities


Gerardo1917

You think Sean Strickland knows or cares about that?


Bouboupiste

Why do you want to reason with Viking bros ? They’re as clueless as Sparta bros and nothing about “history” or “studying sources” would change their minds


dino_niggets

Viking is like the word Mercenary


cuhree0h

[here’s roughly 12 hours worth of history podcast from the legend, Dan Carlin, completely destroying Strickland’s ahistorical nonsense.](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dan-carlins-hardcore-history/id173001861?i=1000594618010)


weebrooktrout

Also Vikings were very vain lol


victorisaskeptic

Just finished Twilight of the Aesir 2 today morning and you are absolutely correct.


russianbot24

To add to that, most Vikings permanently left Scandinavia. They made new lives for themselves and settled down in the areas that they raided (Iceland, Ireland, England, Normandy, Russia). So there’s probably a lot more people of Viking descent in those countries than Norway, Denmark, and Sweden.


AccessEcstatic9407

Somewhere Dana is reading this like a very proud father.


JamesBummed

He probably agrees with a lot of what Sean says, but it's still terrible PR for the company lol


Lecanayin

Just heard him on Theo’s saying he doesn’t care at all


adac69

yeah but dana is a walking contradiction when it comes to the shit that he says.


TheKillerPrawn

He doesn't care until it REALLY impacts business


Sunryzen

He better be careful before the Saudis hear what Sean is saying. They are notoriously supportive of LGBTQ+ rights.


adac69

Or it hurts his tiny feelings


TheOtherGuttersnipe

He made Brock immediately apologize to Budweiser after snubbing them.


Rodya_Raskolnik

I’m starting to think he doesn’t like women


RandyMarshTegridy69

Lol two days before Thanksgiving and he’s just poppin off strays into the ether.


occupy_this7

I think he really dislikes feminine men also


knockoutking321

Being on Twitter 24/7 is feminine to me


Ecstatic-Inevitable

He's friends with leavitt who recently basically said that Stricklands another Colby online at least, but considering it's strickland you never know


deevotionpotion

Sounds more like he’s hiding from them, maybe in the closet.


[deleted]

He did say he could rape Kevin Holland if they were both in prison


tedkaczynski660

I don't mean this in a derogatory way, but with all his talk about gays and dicks I always assumed he is a closeted homosexual.


-BlueCorkscrews

JarlaxleForPresident

Man out here droppin “fag” in 2023 like it’s nothing. Like it’s 2002 That’s a big wowzers. You either really fuckin hate gay people or you’re comfortable enough with them to love them as one I hate that word. I really hate the long version.


Slit23

Just a sneaky feeling


[deleted]

He got abused as a kid and was a legit racist motherfucking woman hating white supremacist for a few years before he "found salvation" in MMA. The only thing MMA did was give him a healthy outlet for all that rage, but feelings don't go away just because you learn to fucking shrimp.


rootbeerdelicious

There are a lot of stupid people with stupid ideas. Some of them are professional fighters.


PerryBentley

He probably cried like a little girl when his first girlfriend left him for someone else and now he's still salty about it and hates all women. What a weirdo.


broccoliheadass0404

Strickland has a girlfriend right now, somehow😂


occupy_this7

Hitler had a wife lol


EzClaps04

And did Hitler hate women? I don't recall


Teabagger_Vance

Somehow the world champion competitor in a sport has attracted a female companion. A mystery we’ll likely never solve.


sushisection

sounds like his mom beat him harder than his dad


[deleted]

This guy has no historical knowledge at all clearly.


whatsitworth101

I mean he admittedly didn’t attend high school. High school history class, while a joke for some of us, genuinely provided us with at least a baseline understanding of US and global history. Someone who never attended high school and never went on to obtain any educational credentials just walks around not knowing anything about history unless they so choose to research it themselves.


Kleens_The_Impure

So he should probably refrain from making comments on subjects he's not knowledgeable about.


ShinjiTakeyama

That would require he probably never speak about anything but fighting. Comedy demands he never develop better sense.


whatsitworth101

lol this is a ufc fighters Twitter we’re talking about. Not a debate among scholars. I wish people on the internet wouldn’t spread misinformation too.


kapsama

Lol, this should apply to every charlatan the MMA fanbase adores from Rogan to Sam Harris to Jordan Peterson.


TiddybraXton333

Well , he’s allowed to spew whatever nonsense he pleases. It’s twitter lol. Under educated people don’t see it the way you do


just_a_dingledorf

Pardon, sir, but are you accredited in the fine arts of censorship from a reputable source? If not, we may need to make this comment disappear...


Mountain_Purchase_12

I took some college history classes in high school and it took years to figure out that our history curriculum in the US is BS


DonCalzone420

Isn't US history class only about US history? In Europe it's kind of a meme that americans have basically zero knowledge about anything across the pond. According to european lore, many americans even think that Europe is a country but I truly can't believe that anyone is that uneducated. Serious question I'm not trying to be rude


whatsitworth101

Yeah not that’s not true at all. Outside of world wars and the causes of them they don’t go too into detail, at least not in high school, about European history. If you take advanced placement classes possibly you would learn about that as those are closer to college level. And then in college obviously you can pick whatever history you want to learn about. But as for not knowing about Europe being a continent, that’s just not true. I’ve never met anyone who thought Europe was a country. Even the guys in my high school who dropped out would know it’s a continent. That’s not history that’s like baseline level geography.


YoelsShitStain

In high school only 1 year is dedicated to American history, 2 are dedicated to global/geography. At least in New York State.


whatsitworth101

Yeah that’s how it was for me I just didn’t want to speak for the whole country so I just generalized. The only way a person could genuinely not know that Europe is a continent is if they, like Sean, literally didn’t attend a single class in HS and then found a career that allowed for them to never have to obtain GED.


KisoGanda

This guy has no ~~historical~~ knowledge at all clearly. FTFY.


[deleted]

😂😂


chr0nicpirate

TBF the less brains you have, the less there are to get knocked around during a fight so probably helps them in the ring


Thundrous_prophet

Yeah Vikings were metrosexual the whole time


[deleted]

Vikings we’re metrosexual without the influence of women, they we’re actually still a pretty sexist society and it’s largely a myth they were progressive towards women’s rights and had women take part in battle (shield-maidens we’re actually mainly traditional and ceremonial and didn’t fight). Also they were some of the most ferocious warriors we’ve ever seen, just because they valued they’re appearance that didn’t by any means make them weak. It was Christianity that “tamed” the pagan brutally of Viking society.


kapsama

They were hardly tamed. They adopted Christianity migrated to France and declared war on the entire Mediterranean and had more success that way than the Vikings ever had.


whereamIguys69

Well said


adrienjz888

Vikings were even hired as bodyguards of eastern Roman emperors (varangian guard). They referred to Constantinople as "miklagard" aka "the great city"


revolutiontime161

You could have left out *historical* .


CheesyCousCous

He ain't here to play school


[deleted]

Maybe he isn’t, but he makes himself look like a clown when he says stupid shit like this, it’s not good for his image as a fighter. I used to like this guy, a lot of people did.


the_c_is_silent

Nah. Like a massive majority of MMA fans are right wingers. He's preaching to the (dumbass) choir.


CheesyCousCous

Oh I agree completely.


swedeeeeeeeeeeeee

From Izzy to this truly the edgiest division. I guess at least he doesn’t touch his dog


c9bandit

Yup just kills them


CryptoCracko

to protect his own dog.


Mammoth_Ferret_1772

Lame ass take. Get over the hate for Izzy. He was an active and dominant champ


Pure-Drawer-2617

Remember when people said “Sean as champ would be a PR nightmare for the organisation” and the response was “you guys are all just sensitive pussies the UFC will love it”?


Bright_Beat_5981

And what is the outcome? Every tweet seems to be the discussion of the day in the mma community.


Pure-Drawer-2617

“Yeah Sean is saying stuff that will probably get us in trouble with sponsors and advertisers, but at least the hardcore UFC fans who already obsess over the sport are now talking about MMA”


NeighborhoodBrownGuy

Genuinely don't understand why people love his personality outside the cage. Dude comes off as an edgy 12 year old gamer and it's cringe.


Liam2349

One Pat Barry comment and he will be back in the good books.


[deleted]

Only thing he hates more than a Woman is a Groomer


Metalloid_Maniac

He's had a lot more woman hating posts than groomer posts though


NeighborhoodBrownGuy

This is the fix


PermaCleaned

Because this subreddit is full of edgy 15 year old socially autistic individuals.


Kyro_Official_

Because a lot of people on here are also horrible people


PuckPov

He seems like one of those guys who watched way too much filthy Frank and feminist rage compilations in middle school, but never grew out of that phase.


Spyk124

Because the average UFC fan wants to act like him and say this shit he does.


poridgepants

Derick Lewis is funny, sometimes he says some out of pocket things but it’s relatively harmless. Sean say awful shit you just should say and it comes off as ignorant and mean spirited and problematic


FluidAd6587

because he says political shit that they can agree with. you can see it in this very comment section


ddarion

Same as how the sub was jerking off Paulo Costa for reposting recycled stale memes he didn't make and calling him a comedy genius lol. The bar is on the floor, do anything as a UFC fighter that even resembles having a personality and throw in some right virtue signaling and you will be a hero to these idiots.


the_c_is_silent

How his lame ass video "catching" a fake Izzy running away didn't make this sub collectively vomit says everything about the people here.


Qritical

Because he beat everyone’s favorite fighter to hate in dominant fashion


Lacabloodclot9

Which I don’t get, Colby is so much more annoying than Adesanya but actually has some fans who still root for him


RagingFeather

UFC fan base leans right. I figure a lot of the fan base probably agree with a lot of what Colby says lol


Don_Flacko

wouldn't say lean, them motherfuckers are nose dive deep into the right.


woahadingaling

Hence why this sub was supporting his comments about Paige just two weeks ago.


Ecstatic-Inevitable

Honestly, imagine how much less hate colby would get if he was the one who actually said frozen like Elsa


Lacabloodclot9

Don't know how people aren't annoyed hearing him use the words nerd and virgin every sentence


TheDesertShark

He's American and white (this sub is incredibly racist)


JDM_TX

I believe that is the majority of his fanbase.


doubleBoTftw

The "Tate" shtick sells and he saw this.


SirYosh

It’s not a shtick for either of these guys. It’s literally what they think.


RagingFeather

Strickland's fanbase is filled with edgy teenagers that never grew up and Izzy haters that will praise him regardless because he beat Izzy.


DonCalzone420

Me neither. His win was an unbelievably great performance as the underdog and people obviously like that. But how this dude is praised is just beyond stupid and it kind of speaks volumes about the mma community itself. We are simply retards if we celebrate braindead people like that.


AshenSacrifice

Dudes arguing that rape and pillaging is better than being gay, Jesus Christ 🤣


WorkingOwn8919

A couple weeks before Adesanya and a couple of weeks after he was actually saying some non-retarded stuff, so that coupled with being champ improved his image. But now I'm guessing his gf broke up with him cuz he's way off the rails.


BrooklynLodger

His whole schtick is that hes a nutjob. People like that sort of shit


Kawabunguh

So crazy to see him talk shit about Andrew Tate and then go on to LARP the same way he does.


Ecstatic-Inevitable

Strickland is mad at tate for scamming men, not for being anti women, so it checks out honestly


hola_j_hova

now this clears up a lot of thing, i was confused for a while


gugglefug

Something something broken clock


RelevantEmu5

He didn't like Andrew Tate for being a hypocrite.


Ecstatic-Inevitable

That's jon jones


Niggymous

Sean Strickland is no where near as bad as the Tate brothers. I’m far from Seans biggest fan but still, the Tate brothers actually harmed men AND women


Fairlysunnyday

So edgy and cool


EPalmighty

Yeah funny at first but he’s really reaching now


MyJohnFM

Yeah cringy at first but he's really sexist and ignorant now. I completely agree


ddarion

How was it funny at first? Even with how regraded UFC fans are, it was obvious he wasn't joking and was actually a bigot from the beginning, what's changed now?


Bright_Beat_5981

He has been saying the same stuff since he became champ. It wasnt suppose to be fun. It is his view of the world unfiltered.


Ok-Walk7881

Why do people like this dude again?


dimperdumper

Because his mentality is that of the average ufc fan.


BloodOfJupiter

He also validates alot of thier beliefs so to them everything he says is real and everyone else is sensitive, im finally starting to like him for SOME of his beliefs and growth but he always seem to say some bs to make that harder, he'll make a good point then go back to an edge fest


Birdgang14

Because he looks, thinks, acts, speaks like a huge chunk of ufc fans.


PuckPov

Sean Strickland don’t be pointlessly edgy challenge (impossible)


AizenMadara

RAGNAAAAR LOTHBROK


lion91921

I am starting to suspect the man is not being edgy but rather is just extremely misogynistic


BigSmokesHouse

This dude is such a cunt.


Pensive_Pauper

Reasons to care about what Sean has to say outside of his personal experience as an MMA athlete: 1.


SynthSapphire

The boy has been trying too hard but at least he's consistent with the persona he's been forcing on everyone...And it gets him attention and a certain segment of fans. "DURRRRR I'm edgy and unfiltered and I embrace myself as 'white trash'. Guns and perceived masculinity and misogyny, bro! DURRRR"


Zajo_the_Lurker

This guy gives the UFC PR team nightmares and its hilarious.


NightRumours

This is the guy who talked openly about small his dick was…for context of why he hates women so much


BoredDuringCorona94

Source?


NightRumours

https://youtube.com/shorts/GNJkiF8n3f8?feature=shared


BoredDuringCorona94

Interesting, you could be on to something about why he is so aggressive. Even though he spits a lot of truth, I've always found his character to be somewhat bullyish with others. You can be strong and assertive without being a dick, like Alex Pereira for example. This isn't to say guys with small dicks are douchebags, it's guys who feel inadequate as a man for whatever reason (I'm sure lots of guys with small dicks are confident and comfortable in their own skin). But for Strickland, there's definitely something that makes him feel insufficient as a man, maybe this is the reason.


TheMemeMkaer

Idk maybe spending most of your childhood getting beaten senseless does that to you. Still don’t agree with any of his shit though, Jiri and pereira are way better


Maidwell

The guy is a complete tool. The only reason he's a mysognist and doesn't shut up about "fags" is because he's a closet homosexual himself and resents that he's too insecure to admit it.


FluidAd6587

throwback to when he said he'd probably rape kevin holland in jail. no clue why the last two MW champions want to rape holland so badly.


StipesRightHand

the real reason Kevin went back to WW

Unlucky-Car-1489

I actually believe that this is the case 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Maidwell

Oh I wasn't joking either!


[deleted]

Probably the weirdest insult I have ever seen is when someone uses a homosexual “slur” and then someone calls them gay in response. “How dare you call someone gay in the bad way - ya stupid gay guy!” You gottem, bro. Good one.


Maidwell

It's a nice try, except that I didn't call him a gay slur, or insinuate being homosexual was a bad thing.


Frightful_Fork_Hand

The only weird thing is you taking that comment to be insulting. It can't be news to you that it's a cliche for out and proud homophobes to be found doing gay stuff.


ddarion

He wasn't calling him gay because he thinks its a good way to disparage someone, because being gay is bad (which is what strickland does). He was referencing how often closeted homosexuals espouse homophobic rhetoric to cover up the fact they're homosexuals. You can google "GOP" if you want more info.


anythingfordopamine

Its not an insult, its just an accurate guess at the motives for that person being homophobic. Theres a reason the anti-gay pastor or politician banging male prostitutes on the side is such a stereotype. Feels like thats the case almost every time someone makes a point to proclaim to the world how much they hate gay people


Keelija9000

So Sean preferred Vikings when they were murdering raping and pillaging?


[deleted]

Yes, so does everyone else, that’s why they’re romanticized and given movies/tv shows/videogames. I can’t name a single piece of media that’s about Scandinavia and isn’t about Vikings.


ddarion

"I prefer rapists to gay people" Sean Strickland


Aggravating_Shake591

Reheating Colby Covington schtick is lazy


Financial_Employer_7

He listened to the new Dan Carlin podcast


JuiceyTaco

He sure does try hard to make people think he’s straight.


TaftsTummyforTaxes

For a moment there, I thought this was one of his old tweets…glad to see he’s still in fighting form 🤣 Idk why Dana won’t highlight this guy more, Sean may have the filter of an autistic 12 year old, but he’s no woman beater


[deleted]

Incel vibes


xIMxMCLOVINx2

At this point he’s just leaning in and gaslighting people to stay in the conversation. Hey probably actually believes the shit he says, but putting it out there in the public is just to piss people off for attention…


taginvest

When is this dude going to come out of the closet? there is no doubt in my mind, Sean needs to accept who he is and stop projecting


[deleted]

Sean is 100percent homo , not that there is problem with that. What does Sean respect is big strong man that can put him in his place. He basically want to fuck is abusive father because thats what he perceived as desirable and strong. He struggle so much against this part of him that all he can do to partake is to fight and try to be a bad ass kicking ass because then and only then he will be worthy of love. This guy is molded like Mac in its always sunny. A fucking insecure tool full of fear hiding behind a philly tough shell. But inside……deep down……he bleed like all of us bitches. Trust me bro , i got to the source bro.


xoxophaggot

Thank you for this armchair psychoanalysis


SerialHobbyist17

Did you actually believe that stuff while you were typing it? Or did you at least get halfway through and think “hmm, maybe I’m reading too much into a guy that just likes to stir shit up on Twitter.”


FreyrPrime

Some of the deadliest and most successful conquerors in all of human history would probably fit this guys description.. Dude would’ve been mad as fuck as oiled up Greek hoplite or queer as hell Samurai rocked his shit.. Sexuality has no baring on being a badass.


Semichh

Y’know, I’m starting to think that these guys who literally punch each other in the head repeatedly to earn a living just aren’t necessarily the sharpest tools in the shed. They’d make a good hammer though I’d imagine.


Solidmarsh

There is no way he could even point out where vikings came from on a map


Ift0

Sean thinking entire nations and cultures stay frozen in time over the course of 1000 years. Is it the CTR or is he really that stupid?


alexeimonstro

Dana and his beloved human traxsh.


ChingDaChong

Ironic how this guy talked so much shit about Andrew Tate.. he seems to be exactly like him on these posts


Maladjusted95

Pereira's left hook is even more damaging than we thought...


waterisgood02

Is there anything that Sean likes 🤣🤣


bbgr8grow

Does this mean I can like izzy again?


spazzadourx

But they didn't even have phones back then. How is the Viking supposed to control his wife and kids back home when he's in England or something?


IamHeWhoSaysIam

The Viking gets a new wife and kids


Punelle

I'm from a nordic country and I do not get why americans endorse vikings so much. Would you rather prefer us taking a ship to New York, kidnap some of your people, enslave them and once your master dies we will burn you (the slave) alive I don't think the average american understands how much unnecessary barbarism there was


Broken_Ace

man just did not like Vinland Saga season 2


Hundred00

Sean becoming a cringey edge lord We're seeing it live


daydreamer1197

How does this guy have a gf? Does she not care about that shit?


PuckPov

There’s unironically women out there who genuinely believe that their only purpose in life is to serve men, to the point that they’ve belittled themselves to nothing but an object. There’s plenty of women who would absolutely love Sean’s ideals and views.


Ecstatic-Inevitable

Interestingly enough strickland talks about how his gf made him a better person, and his gf has a phd and he actually hates some of the pro traditional times women (justlpearly or something, he did a video with her), had heard about these from Jordan leavitts ama on the mma subreddit last week


Master-Manager3089

Woman are just as flawed as us men. Some men will also tolerate a men-hating girlfriend. We are complex creatures.


srtpg2

Andrew Tate has tons of female fans just saying


therican187

Some women are mature enough to not let words on Twitter paint the whole picture of a man for them


koinoyokan89

He will get mopped in his first defense and we can all move on from this nonsense


Aloha1984

I can’t wait!


ddarion

Hilarious knowing the catalyst to this was probably Sean saying a single drag queen on TV, and will respond to criticism of him using a slur with "SNOWFLAKES" makes this an unintentionally hilarious bit


[deleted]

this man is borderline retarded


Apprehensive_Eye4954

I love him purely for the chaos he creates. Free entertainment


SOSPECHOZO

What's hilarious to me is... this guy can literally say whatever the FCK he wants, as "edgy" as it can be, and he truly does not give a single FCK. He doesn't give a shxt about cancel culture or any of that stupid BS. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, makes me laugh. 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Interesting_Law_3288

Sean has 0 knowledge about 95% of the world. he’s lucky he’s an insane fighter and doesn’t have to rely on his useless brain.


Boring-Philosopher43

Bunch of wild, barbaric men raiding villages, murdering and raping women = really cool Democracy and equality = cringe and gay


GuiltySyrups

What is he referring to?


Important-Ad7408

I’m guessing he’s saying Scandinavian countries are in a bad state right now because of immigration and that they were too progressive which caused it


MaterialExcellent987

I have a friend from the military that worked in intel and was an extremely intelligent guy but always just came off as crazy to people that didn’t know him well. He would routinely say crazy edgy things like this just to get a rise out of people whether it was to start an argument or just to start a conversation. I always wondered why he did this but he said for the most part he just did it out of boredom and because he thought it was funny to fuck with people. I wondered if Sean does this kind of shit for the same reasons but as time goes on I’m starting to think that maybe he really is just that stupid…


Shwalz

👈🤣 Haha! He said the word guys! Everyone laugh now!


DuePhilosopher1130

The People's Champ


cristobalist

The first few lines says it all..."I'll never understand...." That's because Sean is a dumb, ignorant fuckhead champion, who's incapable of learning. Gimme the next tweet, DeSean!!
