UFC bantamweight Song Yadong has taken issue with some of Sean Strickland’s recent remarks.
Strickland has been known to push the envelope. He often speaks without mincing words and doesn’t abide by social norms. The former UFC middleweight champion also isn’t afraid to poke fun at topics such as race.
More recently, Strickland was interviewed by Helen Yee and made several derogatory comments about Chinese people.
Song Yadong Compares Sean Strickland to ‘Toxic Fans’
In an interview with Helen Yee, Song Yadong made it clear that he feels Sean Strickland is being ignorant with his comments about China.
“Last time, I saw your interview with Sean and I heard him say a lot of negativity about Chinese people,” Yadong said. “However, I don’t think he’s ever been to China before, yet believes Chinese people are a certain way. Since he’s talking his way, he’s no different than toxic fans. I believe this is discrimination towards Chinese people. I really respect him as a fighter but, what he’s saying is not good. If he’s willing to, I can show him around China because there’s good and bad in every country.”
Nah mate ya dong is little ain’t mine.
This isn’t the first time Yadong has addressed Strickland’s remarks. Earlier this year, Yadong scolded Strickland for saying that China’s biggest exports were “plastic and COVID.” The top-ranked UFC bantamweight took to social media to say that Strickland made “baseless stereotypes” and challenged him to be a good example for fight fans.
It appears Strickland didn’t get the memo, and these two continue to be at odds over the situation. At this time, Strickland hasn’t responded to Yadong’s most recent interview with Yee. We’ll keep you posted as Strickland continues to ruffle the feathers of fellow fighters regardless of weight class.
I’d like to put the good in Helen Yee
Song is such a good dude. He says Sean is discriminating against his people, offers to take him out for a night on the town.
Song sounds like a whiner. I’m sure Strickland gives a shit about what his emotions are telling him. Lol
Fuck China
Ever been?

Bald and Bankrupt did a bit of traveling in China.
Looks interesting but can already feel the nightmare of not speaking the language and trying to get around.

Lol
America exports violence and sanctions.
You could export yourself if you think America sucks
Yes revealing the truth is bad.
Defending China is a non-starter.
