The UFC middleweight fighter Sean Strickland is one of the most controversial fighters on the roster. He has received a lot of criticism for the opinions that he has shared on social media. Instagram had also disabled his account because of the offensive posts and comments he made. The fighter made another Instagram account after his old one got taken down by Instagram, and has been using it to interact with the fans. Strickland took a dig at Tom DeBlass in a recent Instagram story he put up. DeBlass is a former UFC and Bellator fighter who now fights under the ONE championship. DeBlass posted a horrific video of an incident where a man got knocked out by a fish he was trying to feed with his mouth, and ended up falling inside the tank. He captioned it saying, “You think you have friends, until you accidentally get knocked out by a fish and fall in knee-deep water, and instead of them reaching in the water to save you they slap on the glass to wake you up.” READ MORE: “He’s Not a 100% In”: Luke Rockhold Explains How Paulo Costa Is in a ‘Dangerous Place’ Ahead of Their Upcoming Fight [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-hes-not-a-100-in-luke-rockhold-explains-how-paulo-costa-is-in-a-dangerous-place-ahead-of-their-upcoming-fight/] Strickland reposted [https://www.instagram.com/stories/sstricklandmma/2851513237545209364/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY%3D] this incident on his Instagram account and trolled the man in the video.
