UFC veteran Sean Strickland went full heel in a rant on the UFC Houston crowd after a week in which he brought even more controversy upon himself.
As we know, Sean Strickland is a former UFC middleweight champion. Unfortunately, he’s probably best known for some of his insane rants that often capture the attention of the general public as well as just mixed martial arts fans. While he’s a capable fighter at 185 pounds, more people are talking about what he said regarding Bad Bunny as opposed to his contest with Anthony Hernandez.
Sean Strickland can’t seem to stay focused on what’s happening in the cage, and instead, he comes out with insults that you would expect to come out of a naive teenage boy. As it turns out, he wasn’t quite done with that trend, with his latest move being to go after the fans in Houston, Texas.
Sean Strickland goes after UFC Houston crowd
“Listen here, you motherf*ckers. I know you guys, you might want your local Mexican to win. There’s nothing wrong with that. Let me tell you to the Lone Star State, there’s only one motherf*cker who stands and bangs – your f*cking guy wrestles. I fight more like a Mexican than that motherf*cker. F*ck you.”

Perhaps Sean will get to a point where he grows up enough to understand that all of the words in the world he wants to spew aren’t going to make a difference. If anything, it’s just going to further harm his overall legacy – not because he isn’t allowed to express his opinion, because he is, but because of how he’s gone about it.
As for the fight, Strickland has every chance to pick up the win, but the same is true for Hernandez, who is the one carrying the real momentum.
