Strickland recently appeared in an interview, wherein he called out ‘Machado’ and claimed that he was nothing but a beta male. The reason he deemed Garry to be a beta was the fact that he took up his wife’s last name. He said, “I don’t like the Irish guy, because he’s a f**king beta male. Didn’t he take his girl’s last name? Yeah, he took his girl’s last name.” He also puts out his verdict regarding Garry’s upcoming fight against Neil Magny at UFC 292. Nevertheless, he simply hoped that the Irish star would lose. He said, “So, Ian Garry, I think you’re gonna win. But you’re a f**king simp, bro and I f**king hope you don’t.”
