Lately, Sean Strickland seems to be in the news for all the wrong reasons. The UFC fighter has made statements in the past that did not go down well with a lot of people. From saying that he would like to kill someone in a fight, disturbing comments about fighter Belal Muhammad, to opening up about his childhood struggles, Strickland has certainly made some eyebrow-raising statements.
‘Tarzan’ is one of the best middleweight fighters in the UFC at the moment. He has an outstanding record of 24 wins and 3 losses. However, his rather odd statements seem to be the reason people talk about him. Strickland has found himself in a mess yet again because of being involved in a road rage incident.

UFC middleweight Sean Strickland involved in road rage
Strickland was supposed to fight former champion Luke Rockhold at UFC 268. However, the bout was canceled because of Rockhold’s injury, and Strickland, unfortunately, had to be removed from the card. It seems that he is yearning for a fight and is ready to get into one even outside the octagon.
The fighter posted a video on Instagram where he was heard asking the other driver to roll down his window. He then questioned, “Do you got a gun or a knife?”

Later he said, “Pull over. No guns or knife… No guns, no knife”
Strickland posted the video on his story and wrote, “He didn’t have a gun but he ‘got bullets’ Guy pulls out in front of me, I honk and says ‘what up bit*h’.”

It is not known what transpired after their confrontation. However, it may not be a good idea for a trained UFC fighter to go around picking fights with civilians or engaging in road rage. Considering his skills and power, fighting and excelling in the octagon should be the goal. Perhaps a bout in the octagon might be able to quench his thirst for a fight.
