Controversies and Sean Strickland go hand in hand. The former UFC middleweight champion is often caught up in sticky situations. His unrepentant attitude has primarily helped him gain attention and become popular. As such, he won’t hesitate to throw down. Recently, one verbal altercation between Strickland and other unidentified individuals went viral for a brief dispute.

Sean Strickland and his brother recently went viral for arguing with a group of individuals. The video clip is not recent and took place some years ago. The argument seems to have occurred inside an indoor climbing gym where both parties shouted over some dispute. During the argument, Strickland’s brother lashed out and warned the individual who tried to talk to his wife. 

Don't speak to my wife or I'm gonna hit you. Speak to her one more time, I will bit*** slap you. Shut the f**** up.

Sean Strickland is well known for his direct approach and for using violence as a way to solve things. The fighter has used sparring as an example to deal with the people he doesn’t agree with. A few years ago, he went viral for heavy sparring with a fan who criticized him. Similarly, ‘Tarzan’ made headlines by destroying streamer Sneako in a sparring session.

Other than all this, Strickland is also known for taking on reporters without thinking about any consequences. His infamous rant at UFC 297 at a Canadian reporter went viral and attracted much attention. The fighter even claimed that it cost him his middleweight title against Dricus Du Plessis. However, regarding the current viral argument clip, Strickland does have a clear response.

Being as controversial as Sean Strickland, it is only a matter of time before anything he does goes viral. After the video made its rounds on the internet, the ‘Tarzan’ finally had no other option but to address it. According to Strickland, the incident occurred years ago when he was not even a ranked fighter in the UFC.

Strickland wrote the whole explanation on his X account. The former champion also mentioned that he initially approached a female climber in the gym. As such, things were going well until those individuals interfered and asked him for certification. After that, things took a wild turn in the Sean Strickland vs. Rock Climbers saga.

So I'm there for about 45 minutes and befriend his girl idk if they were dating but it was harmless. She was just nice and a solid climber and easy to make laugh So he comes up to us and says "you need a certification to climb this." I was made because you could of asked me when I signed the waiver...But instead you chose to come up to me 45 minutes after climbing because you're a insecure little baby dick. It's just a cunt thing to do.

In the comments, as usual, Sean Strickland received a variety of reactions from X users. However, currently, Strickland is most probably concerned with his middleweight title shot rather than this clip. The fighter has already talked about playing the waiting game until the UFC gives him the shot. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the former champion.
