LAS VEGAS – As the spotlight on Sean Strickland increases in intensity, don’t expect his rather bold personality to lessen. If anything, Strickland says he plans on being even more outspoken as he moves up the ranks of the UFC’s middleweight division.
“I’m getting to a point where I can say sh*t and not get cut from the UFC,” Strickland told MMA Junkie at Wednesday’s media day at the UFC Apex. “Before, it’s like – oh man, I wasn’t good. Like, I couldn’t say sh*t because Dana White would be like, ‘Hey, go f*ck that white trash motherf*cker. Get him out of here.’ But now, since I’m growing a little bit more like, you know, fan base, people want to watch me fight, I can say a lot more offensive sh*t.”
Strickland certainly has a knack for that.
