If memory serves I think I've been in one or two campaigns though that was a while ago in my horomone fueled peak fantasy fixation lol. The class variety was cool imo, 16 instead of the 5e based 12 and specific parameters for hybrid, while as in modern dnd multiclassing imo never feels anything but underpowered in contrast to sticking to one archetype. And I don't mind th cutting down of races, 5e feels bloated with anthropomorphic animals imo: eagle person, turtle person, rabbit person like come on. Whileas I found pathfinder brings a lot more cultural diversity in its fantasy races Also to me it was just more complex, like having degrees in proficency rather than just being good or bad at something, and feats help differentiate characters who may as well be the same (two human paladins can be widely different).

The problem with feats in 5e is you're almost always better of getting ability point increases instead. I find it a bit of a strange design decision to not just let players pick a feat (which is much more fun) and then automatically giving ability stat increases at set levels, just separate it and give players both and adjust fight diifficulty to compensate for the increased power.

Watched the video, and this video should be enough evidence to tell you how bad of a boxer and fighter Sean is and seriously I don't know how he dropped Izzy, he could even drop this guy but he was fighting with anger so technique kinda goes out the window.

Despite that, if that was a real boxer he could have put the dude out with one punch. Sean is flailing his arms, they are so far down and even behind him as he winds up.. no technique just pure anger. Pretty sad he couldn't put the guy out or even drop him.

I don't know what the idiot who boxed him thought would happen though. Of course this guys gonna go ham on you why even try this now you've got brain damage.

I had a kind of different take watching the video.

Seemed to me that clearly it was supposed to be a friendly sparring session where the influencer dude could try and mix it up a little bit and try to land some good punches on Strickland.  Then Strickland takes it *way* too far and starts unloading full power shots.  Good thing the influencer guy had a chin and didn't get badly KTFO'd, which probably could have been both a PR disaster and a legal liability.

Forrest Griffin was probably thinking "*** I need to stop Sean right now" and he frantically stepped in before **** got real bad.

You know Sean isn't friendly haha

I mean I agree with you and it would have been a PR disaster and legal liability, and was that Forrest who stepped in? Hah, didn't notice that. 

I think if you're gonna do that, handle it like Chris Curtis did against the guy who claimed to be a 200-0 street fighter. Curtis actually has a brain though.

The UFC PI allows anyone in? With their 100 cameras on every side of the Octagon. While other fighters could be there training. Just seems kind of staged by the UFC with their recent new found influencer friends. 

typically when Sean and Chris or any other fighter do this its at their home gym. The fact this was at the PI with a million cameras in the background, Griffin randomly being there in the ring with them. It all seems very staged to some degree.

Pains me to agree with Brenda Schlaub but something seems weird here. Its gotten a million clicks so it worked.

@HiDefff 
Not even sure what you mean by staged. It was obviously a planned thing for them to get in there and be record on camera. It's not random for Griffin to be there, he works there. The only thing that I think went wrong is that Strickland took it too far.

Clearly the punches were real but I think the UFC marketing set the entire thing up. 

You mean to tell me anyone can walk into the UFC PI with their camera's and request to spar UFC champions or former champions? Or do you require a certain amount of IG followers? 

Well if that's the case why is Jake Paul and everyone else who calls out the fighters not doing it at the PI? 

There's a reason the UFC is all of a sudden best friends with all of these internet streamers. This is the same guy who wanted special rules to go do this with Mikey Musumeci but he has no problem just out of the blue sparring Strickland in a cage? Makes no sense. 

People keep mentioning he's lucky "Sean didn't go crazy"  If you think the UFC is letting a non professional civilian in a building they own and hold liability for to spar/fight their former champion without prior knowledge of the event, giving permission, and signing waivers, and allowing camera's in, you are crazy. The UFC is benefitting off of it by clicks and new eyes from the streamer dorks fans. They know exactly what they are doing and its working. People haven't stopped talking about it since the video came out.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with what you are saying. Yes the UFC brought them there but they didn't tell Sean to unload on him

That's naive I think personally. I believe they knew good and well what he was going to do. As did the influencer kid. If they would have pitter pattered for 5 minutes no one would watch the video a million times or be talking about it and it would have been useless. 

Everyone there knew exactly what was going to happen IMO.

The ufc never brought him there, Sneako told Sean when they met at the powerslap event that he was going to be training at the PI with jake sheilds that day. Sean asked him to go to XC but he responded by saying he would be at the PI. This stunt has been huge for the ufc but I don’t think it was something they purposely set up, you can literally see video proof of Sean and Sneako setting up the meet at the power slap event

Sneako is a cuck and this new trend of him getting wristlocked by Nate and getting punched in the face by Strickland is just the tip of the iceberg on how far this desperate influencer guy is willing to go to be relevant at all. When Andrew Tate got mainstream he was leeching there too with Adin Ross. 
260lb Bradley Martyn guy who got mainstream memed for a while Sneako went and sparred him or something.
Anybody who gets their 15 minutes of fame can expect a call from this little weird freak to show up and get molested or abused in some sort of way just so he can get his own slice of the popularity pie.
These ******* narcissists somehow have an audience but I have never seen or talked to anybody who actually follows this fool.

Same with Strickland he claims to be all high and mighty savior of masculinity in the US but in reality he's just a dummy who is being used and laughed at by these social media freaks
Industry plant NinaDrama also rides hard with him and thinks that us fans somehow love her or something.
I don't know if I'm just getting old but I don't really care about any of it. the UFC Soap Opera is just catering to complete idiots who don't have their own opinions and go on social media talking about fighters personal lives hoping that they would kill themselves or something.
I can't even believe McGregor has any fans either at this point, did you see his GQ "10 Things I can't live without"? Dude really tricked us to watch him for 8 minutes plug 5 different businesses of his and not say anything real. Chael Sonnen was correct about him being a rich little weirdo.
