Sean Strickland asks MyMMANews reporter “Are you a gay?”
Sean Strickland is days away from the biggest fight of his life.
This Saturday at UFC 293, Strickland will fight for the middleweight championship against current champ Israel Adesanya, in which the UFC centered the fight around Adesanya as the fight will take place in Australia.
Strickland admitted at the UFC 293 press conference that the fight is an uphill battle, but anyone who has followed his career, knows that Strickland has put in the hard work at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas and he’ll be game on fight night.
Also, for those that followed Strickland’s career, they know he’s not afraid to speak his mind and say whatever he wants, even if those words could be offensive.
Well back in May, Strickland was preparing for a main event against Abus Magomedov at Xtreme Couture and MyMMANews reporter John Eric Poli stopped by the gym and did an interview with Strickland.
In the quick interview from the gym, Strickland discussed his upcoming fight, how back then he felt he should be next in line for Adesanya and of course he had some fun poking fun of Poli.
That day, Poli wore a pink Hugo Boss polo to conduct the interview and Strickland had a blast making fun of the color of the shirt.
You can hear all of hilarious remarks on the shirt in the video above.
