Didn't watch the interviews but pretty sure Strickland went to have a funny skit and went on to talk about some random sht about everybody. Lol.
Here's the essence and probably the most quoted/retweeted bit.

Strickland says how it is. He already won in my eyes
Hope he doesn't get arrested for "hate" speech or something. There's no free speech pretty much anywhere outside of the US.
But it's also good to see these guys act nice with each other before a match. The McGregor routine is getting old now.
I just watched a live pre-fight conference. Sean said it was never personal and they both shook hands on the agreement to fight to the death or something. It was nice.
In terms of odds, I'm leaning towards DDP. Strickland made it clear he's going there to brawl and will keep pressing forward, which is not a smart tactic for him. Dricus is visibly much bigger and stronger than him so he should be focussing on utilising his cardio advantage. Hopefully his team will talk some sense into him before the fight.
Just watched the pre fight press conference. I'm kinda more scared at Strickland now that he's taking everything lightly but then say that he wants to fight to the death. What a psychopath. And he did say a couple of times before that one day he felt that he could kill somebody inside the octagon if pushed the wrong way... I think the press conference during December kinda pushed Strickland the wrong way when DDP said he'll remind Strickland of his father beating him as a kid when they fight. :/
I wonder what kind of game plan Strickland and his corner are bringing... Can't wait!
Embedded is kinda meh after the first episode hope it picks up.
