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
