Sean Strickland
Sean Strickland is definitely not the training partner everyone wants to be matched up during a sparring session in the gym.
A recent video of UFC’s rising middleweight fighter Sean Strickland has been circulating around the internet where the fighter is going all-in during his sparring session. The fighter is seen talking trash to his sparring opponent while both the fighters are just one thin twine away from taking each other’s head off.
The fighter trains under Baret Submissions and is seen sparring hard without any headgear. Strickland is quite the character. The fighter can be seen yelling, “Lets f**cking go! Lets f**cking go!!” at his opponent’s face and a loud “YESSSS” that surely will get any person annoyed and want to take put the fighter to sleep. Strickland’s octagon interviews are second to none with the number of crazy things he has said on TV.
Can Luke Rockhold stop Sean Strickland?
Sean and Luke Rockhold are scheduled to fight each other at UFC 268 in a middleweight bout. The former UFC middleweight champion is returning to the octagon after a long hiatus of two years. He is coming off a loss against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 239 as he got knocked out clean in the second round.
Meanwhile, Strickland, in the seven years he has been in the UFC has only lost thrice. He is coming off an incredible victory against Uriah Hall. The fighter has a record of 24-3-0 in his professional MMA career. The biggest strength of Strickland is his effective striking which is very efficient but there is no denying that Sean is a very one-dimensional fighter. Luke should try to change levels and put the “Tarzan” in uncomfortable positions.
