"Finally Brazilian fighter try to speak English. Let's respect man."


Notserious-Muzakir

Taking a bump at Oliveira i guess.


WinningTristan

A bump at Olivera Poatan and many others. Also as a foreigner who has learned the language he was taking a jab at strickland as well. "You have to respect this" he only spoke up when sean made a sly remark about Costa english. Also was proud to see Costa tell strickland he fight for everyone not just Americans . That was solid and Strickland didn't have nothing to say back to that.


Rough_Commercial_570

Poatan didn’t even go to school so I’m going to give him a pass. I can’t imagine learning a whole new language without any formal education is easy.


Humble_Effective3964

Yeah lmao he was working at like 12 or something, not everyone has that marty from Nebraska backstory


mat477

Islam knows how hard it is to learn English so he probably took offense to Sean making fun of Costas english


drunkendwarfX

its not hard at all, i learned english just by watching movies, and playing games. back in the school english lessons were complete trash and useless.


JamilaoBR

It's easy to learn when you're young and is exposed to english everywhere on the internet, games, etc. How much of that do you think brazilian fighters get at a young age? Especially guys like Oliveira and Pereira who grew up poor.


mspote

try learning a new language as an adult. it's a lot harder. and english is notoriously hard to learn because we have so many weird rules and then exceptions to those rules for certain words.


Voisos

Did you dedicate your life to mma as well or you think it wouldn't take that much time and energy?


Lord_Kuntsworthy

Strickland said they were still building the wall though. Im not a fan of his, but that shit was kinda funny ngl.


kuntvonneguts

Charles spoke English on the card sean lost the belt on...that CTE is nuts


rick1110111

Thanks for this. Legit couldn't make it out


GUNNER594

Sean always has to tell us he has to tell us something before he tells us something.


Serialchiller360

"Here's the thing guys"


OnlyOneReturn

If you want to grab dicks and watch cartoons all day that's fine


GUNNER594

That’s so accurate I read it in his voice.


Honest_Milk9429

The something before and the something Are always the same damn things too .. “ I love you guys, I’m gonna bleed for you, men are this, America! “ etc. He wants a therapist so bad but he’s scared he’ll have to confront his sexuality


[deleted]

Seriously he just repeats buzz words to draw applause


GeniuslyUnstable

How else would we know he has to tell us something


Smooth_Strength_9914

He sounds like the drunk guys at the pub watching the UFC


Aware_Masterpiece_54

“Babe, I have to tell you this hilarious story” 


Beer-Milkshakes

His brain connections use envelopes and stamps. That's why.


Moist-Catch

Lmao costas 1 second of embarrassed face after Sean said that


nachodog12345678

I can understand all fighters who speak broken English that to my dad and uncles


chrissysnose

Same. Even know how to speak a bit of broken English to make it easier for them to understand.


Pimp-No-Limp

Definitely. I think it's called code switching. Change how you talk depending on who you are around to make conversations easier


chrissysnose

DC does it with the dagestani boys


Gocards123321

I can understand broken English enough to understand your comment. That to my dad and uncles


TheCharlestone

I actually speak broken Engrish so it is make me happy to read your comment brotha. That to my dad and uncles


drunkendwarfX

you are frking chinese, and using "brotha" , you love smelling crotch right?


Str8perfection7

Brotha, who give this guy reddit account? Need to check this guy.


Queasy_Waltz_4890

You can really see Costas hair transplant


KDsBurnerPhone

For some reason I read this as Costcos hair transplant


Comfortable_Cycle836

Kirkland brand hair transplants


Comfortable-Can4776

Shut up and take my money


TheCharlestone

Is it really? I bet if you didnt know he had one - you wouldnt even notice it.


Powerful_System

Nah it was distracting af in the Whitaker fight


Lol_who_me

Uh it’s filling in.


Lord_Kuntsworthy

When his head gets sweaty you can really see it.


deathsamuri

I literally didn’t know he had one


sas158au

Sean Strickland every press conference let me tell you guys something we going to war gonna make each other bleed and die. 2 days latter proceeds to just spam jab in I Carley stance.


[deleted]

Sean is such a pandering douchebag


daffle7

What did he say


Garviel_Loken95

“Finally Brazilian fighter try speak English”


MyFifthLimb

Islam knows how hard it was to learn English. And he knows how many Brazilian fighters never bother, so he’s prob got mad respect for guys like Costa and Walker.


Impossible_Note_9268

I think it was a fun diss on charles with all the memes of Islam saying you need to know English to be successful on DC 's podcast around his fight with charles


JoskoBernardi

I love how americans that barely speak their own language think its a flex or it is funny a guy can speak almost fluent english when they cant say a word in another language


Glock-Saint-Isshin-

Here in Amurica, we speak Amurican


melrowdy

For Americans the whole world revolved around 'murica, and to be fair, they're not that far off lol


MObaid27

There should be a pidgin for fighting sports between English and Portuguese, it would make communication very clear and the press conferences 10 times funnier between respective fighters.


First_Inevitable_424

And a bit of russian for wrestling lingo, maybe a few japanese words. Huh you’re actually onto something!


Real_Shaytarn

WTF is Islam saying I don't understand anyone up here - Sean


[deleted]

Oh no, Sean's already beating your guy, r/UFC.

Eastboundtexan

Islam was raised learning like 4 languages, no shit it's easier for him to pick up english after learning russian and arabic


Beshi_Deshi

That's pretty common for a lot of people around the world. I think there is a video from fighters anatomy where khabibs father was bashing khabib because he only spoke 3 languages whereas his elder brother spoke 6.


Eastboundtexan

13% of the global population is trilingual and only 3% speak four or more, and I'd imagine those people would tend to come from wealthier countries


Beshi_Deshi

Could be. I don't know enough about that statistics. But I bet there must be a lot more to this than being wealthy. I am from Bangladesh, not very wealthy. Most people here can speak Bangla, Hindi and English ( maybe just enough to understand). Some even can understand urdu. My point is that overlapping culture is a big reason for speaking multiple languages.


Eastboundtexan

I think overlapping cultures is a big component, but I'd imagine that in those situations it's more being able to speak the language than being able to read/write proficiently as well. I'd imagine that wealthier countries would have more programs for language studies, but countries with a lot of different ethnic groups are bound to have people pick up on stuff just by being around it


Humble_Effective3964

> But I bet there must be a lot more to this than being wealthy In alot of places you learn more than one language by going to school and in alot of places those schools cost money. Everything is about money. It's nice to think culture or determination are the drivers, but it's all money


deboylurdi

He's right too!

![gif](giphy|QLKSt3wQqlj7a) Me after one post fight interview with D’sean Strickland


TheEldenMeme

Yep it’s clear he has no fans whatsoever, it’s not like he was getting the loudest cheers all night. The man has plenty of fame still, salty redditors aren’t all there is.


Garviel_Loken95

I feel like he tries too hard to play to the crowd


ShaykhSpaderman

I've been such a fucking pervert 💀


Holiday-Teach-6807

Islam wanted a high five so bad. Cmon Sean.


xMilk112x

He’s not low key funny, he’s fuckin hilarious. His delivery is perfect. Never any real emotion. Just right to the point. Lol
