Sean Strickland made big headlines in Australia ahead of UFC 312 – for all the wrong reasons.
Strickland (29-6 MMA, 16-6 UFC) challenges middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in a title-fight rematch in the headlinr of Saturday’s event at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+).
Strickland is known for having no filter, going off on politics, the government, taxes, and many other topics outside of fighting itself during his media obligations.
This time, his comments irked the national news “Down Under,” with The Daily Telegraph labeling the former champion as the “UFC’s biggest imbecile” in the front cover of their most recent addition.
