Sean Strickland has raised eyebrows again by posting a video with rising star Bryce Mitchell on social media. Now this video is iconic on many levels. Not only does it include Mitchell and Strickland together, but it also shows them inside a Tesla. Bryce Mitchell is a man of strong beliefs, be it his devotion to Jesus, his firm belief that the earth is flat, or his belief that Elon Musk is a ‘False Prophet. Strickland told Musk to “Kiss his a**.” Oh well, hold on because there is more.

The video also shows Sean Strickland brandishing a firearm. It is a known fact that Strickland loves guns, and he has also been in the news for it. So evidently, after watching this multilayered video, the fans had a lot to say. Mitchell is known for his outspoken and controversial views and has gained notoriety for his unique beliefs. The 29-year-old has even expressed his doubts over the legitimacy of the COVID-19 vaccine and government conspiracies on gun control, along with hating what Elon Musk is doing with science.

Now the funny thing is, the man who once hated Tesla and said that trucks were getting more expensive to keep them out of farmers’s reach was sitting inside a Tesla. Coming back to the video. Strickland did mention they were inside a Tesla, and Mitchell reacted by saying, “I don’t give a s**t I am with the champ baby.”

So this little gesture was seen as a bit of hypocrisy by the fans in the comments. Along with that, ‘Tarzan’ holding a gun brought back flashbacks of a recent incident he had with a perpetrator who brandished a gun and threatened Strickland with it. So you can already understand what the fans must have felt seeing this video. They commented on their thoughts as well.

It was a unique sight to see these two fighters together because Strickland has been seen making fun of Bryce Mitchell and Jon Jones in the past. ‘Tarzan’ had cracked the code about social media and revealed that polarizing viewpoints triggered responses and more engagement. He targeted UFC heavyweight champion Jones and featherweight contender Mitchell while also delving into racism.

So after all this drama, it was a bit astonishing for the fans to see the 2 fighters together in the same car, especially a Tesla.’Thug Nasty’ even thanked Strickland for the ride, so the video got a lot of comments from the fans. One fan talked about the controversial sociopolitical comments that both fighters make very often on social media. He said, “The amount of lunatic conversations going on in that car you could write a book”,” while another follower said, “All aboard the Ignorance Express!” The ‘ignorance’ might have been said in the context that Strickland showed a firearm in the video, which is prohibited by American law.

Another follower commented on the Tesla because they might have had a flashback to Mithcell hating on the same car on his X video. The fighter had said that the Tesla was making other trucks costlier. He also reprimanded politicians along with Elon Musk for making it hard for farmers to buy cheaper vehicles. On that note, the fan commented, “Is that a fookin Tesla?” Another follower chimed in, saying, “Who is this again, lol.”

They said, “This could be the new Bad Boys franchise.”
