Eric Nicksick insists it’s water under the bridge with Sean Strickland . Nicksick was pretty vocal with his discontent toward Strickland’s lackluster performance against Dricus Du Plessis in their title-fight rematch at 312, which prompted Strickland (29-7 MMA, 16-7 UFC) to say he doubts Nicksick be in his corner again . Nicksick doesn’t necessarily regret what he said. The Xtreme Couture head coach explained that he came from a good place when addressing someone who he doesn’t just see as a student, but as a friend. He thinks perhaps he shouldn’t have done it so soon after the loss

Sean Strickland was heavily scrutinized after his loss at UFC 312, but his coach has decided to retract his comments about the title challenger.

With time to reflect, Xtreme Couture head coach Eric Nicksick wishes he hadn’t publicly spoken about Sean Strickland ’s losing performance at UFC 312 so soon afterward. Strickland was dominated by UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis and suffered a broken nose in their rematch, which ended with Du Plessis securing an easy unanimous decision by scores of 50-45, 50-45 and 49-46. Strickland, known for his basic style of fighting, didn’t do anything differently to push Du Plessis after complaining that he was robbed in their first fight in February 2024. Just a few days after UFC 312, Nicksick appeared on “The Ariel Helwani Show” and criticized Strickland. “It was just uninspired fighting to me,” Nicksick said. “It just seemed like he was sleepwalking.
