Sean Strickland – “Bare-knuckle, you want to talk about f*cking crooks”
Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland did not hold back at the UFC 302 media day, even taking aim at the rising sport of bare-knuckle fighting.
Strickland, who meets Paulo Costa int he UFC 302 co-main event in New Jersey this Saturday, was asked about possibly fighting bare knuckle after he is done with mixed martial arts.
“How much would I fight f*cking bare-knuckle for?” Strickland said. “Nothing they would pay me. Bare-knuckle, you want to talk about f*cking crooks, they’re paying their guys sh*t. [BKFC] is one of those organizations where you hear these numbers, it’s all bullsh*t.
“If you look at the lowest rung of the guys, they’re f*cking breaking their hands, breaking their orbitals, and they’re making a couple of thousand bucks. Bare-knuckle is f*cking trash.”
