UFC middleweight Sean Strickland is notorious for his outspoken personality and this time his victim was Jon Jones. Jones recently took to Twitter to share how his daughter narrowly escaped a dangerous situation. However, Strickland interjected shortly after to throw a slew of insults at the two-time UFC champion for his past controversies.
Jon Jones is currently on the road to his heavyweight debut in the UFC. On March 4, at UFC 285, he will face Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight title. A few weeks out from the fight, Jones recently shared an episode that went down at his home. In a series of tweets, Jones explained how a bobcat almost attacked his nine-year-old daughter.
Despite Jones simply trying to express his gratitude for his daughter being unharmed, Strickland zeroed in on the 35-year-old with a series of insults.

Sean Strickland goes off on Jon Jones
Although he is a highly decorated martial artist, Jon Jones has had his fair share of controversies. The UFC’s youngest-ever champion has had several run-ins with the law over the years. Authorities arrested Jones over reports of domestic assault back in September 2021. Although the charges were dropped later, Jones revealed a few months later that his fiancee had left him.
Strickland used these incidents to insult Jones, who was just trying to be thankful. Responding to one of Jones’ tweets, Strickland wrote, “This is what Jon Jones says when he wakes up in the morning after smacking his wife doing lines off hookers while being ba**s deep and his co*k doesn’t burn the next day. Bro come on man God don’t like you. You’re going hell bro read the Bible lmao!!! Maybe Satan is for you lol!”
