Unlike his fighter, Eric Nicksick didn’t hold back. Nicksick was in Sydney this past Saturday to coach and corner Sean Strickland in the main event of UFC 312, which ended with Strickland delivering a dud of a performance en route to a unanimous decision loss to middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis.
