Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this fella, Strickland. Folks keep jabberin’ on about him gettin’ shaved. Shaved head, shaved this, shaved that. Land sakes, you’d think they never seen a bald man before!
What’s all the fuss about Strickland gettin’ shaved?
Now, I ain’t no fight expert, not by a long shot. I seen chickens fight more’n I seen people fight, but even I can tell ya this Strickland fella, he’s a scrapper. People say he’s good at it, this fightin’ business. Wins a lot, they say. Somethin’ like 28 wins and 5 losses? Heard tell he’s on a winnin’ streak now, four in a row. That’s a lot, ain’t it? Folks say he’s tough as an old boot, and hits harder than a mule kickin’.
- He wins fights
- He’s tough
- He hits hard
But this shaved head thing… it’s got folks all worked up. They say he used to have long hair, looked like one of them Tarzan fellas from the tee-vee. Climbed trees, they say. Imagine that! A grown man climbin’ trees! But then he went and shaved it all off. Said somethin’ ’bout not lookin’ like somethin’ he ain’t, or somethin’ like that. Lordy, I don’t get it. Hair’s just hair, ain’t it? Grows back, just like weeds in the garden.
Strickland’s shaved look and his fightin’
Now, some folks reckon this shaved head makes him fight better. Says it makes him meaner, or somethin’. I don’t see how. Hair don’t win fights, fists do. But they keep talkin’ about it, this shaved head and his fightin’. They say it makes him stand out, makes him recognizable. Like a rooster with a funny comb, I guess. You can spot him in a crowd, that’s for sure.
They say he’s got a “colorful personality”. I ain’t sure what that means, but I reckon it means he’s a bit of a character. Maybe he talks a lot, or maybe he just acts a fool. Either way, folks seem to like it. They like watchin’ him fight, and they like talkin’ about him.
Shaved head and photos
And then there’s all this talk about pictures. Seems folks are takin’ lots of pictures of this Strickland fella, and they say he looks good in ‘em. “Photogenic,” they call it. Big word, that. Means he takes a good picture, I guess. And they say he looks better with a shaved head, more “manly” or some such nonsense. Personally, I think a man’s looks ain’t got nothin’ to do with his hair, or lack thereof. It’s about what’s inside, ya know? But these young folks, they care about this kinda stuff. Always lookin’ at pictures and judgin’ folks by their looks.
Did that shaved head get him hurt?
Now, I heard tell there was some trouble in one of his fights. Somethin’ ’bout an elbow and a head butt. Said his eye got all cut up and started bleedin’. Folks were arguin’ about it, sayin’ it was this or that. Some said it was the head butt, some said it was the elbow. Me, I don’t know. Fightin’s a rough business. People get hurt. That’s just the way it is. But I hope that shaved head ain’t makin’ it easier for him to get hurt. Head’s a delicate thing, ya know? Gotta protect it.
Sean Strickland shave and No-Shave November
And then there’s this thing called “No-Shave November.” Heard tell it’s somethin’ fellas do, not shavin’ for a whole month. Sounds itchy to me. But this Strickland fella, he talked about it once. Said why he was doin’ it, or somethin’. Don’t rightly remember what he said, but it had somethin’ to do with… well, I don’t rightly remember. These young folks and their fads, I tell ya. Can’t keep up with ‘em.
So what’s the big deal?
So, at the end of the day, this whole Strickland shaved head thing… it’s just a lot of hot air, if you ask me. He’s a fighter, and a good one, they say. Whether he’s got hair or not ain’t gonna change that. He could have a head full of snakes for all I care, as long as he keeps winnin’ fights. That’s what matters, ain’t it? The fightin’, not the hair.
But folks will always find somethin’ to talk about, won’t they? If it ain’t his hair, it’ll be his shoes, or his shorts, or the way he spits. It’s just the way people are. Always lookin’ for somethin’ to gossip about. Me, I got better things to do than worry about a man’s shaved head. Got chickens to feed, garden to tend, and biscuits to bake. That’s real work. Not like this… talkin’ about hair.
Strickland shave or not, that’s his problem!
So, let Strickland shave his head, or grow it long, or dye it purple for all I care. It ain’t none of my business, and it ain’t none of yours neither. He’s a fighter, and that’s all there is to it. The rest is just… well, it’s just hair.
