Sean Strickland’s no-holds-barred attitude continues to shake up the MMA world as he takes direct shots at UFC icons Jon Jones and Conor McGregor. In a recent interview with The Schmo, the former middleweight champion didn’t mince words.
Strickland didn’t hold back when discussing Jon Jones, labeling him as a “piece of sh*t” and emphasizing that his troubled past is well-known. Despite Jones recovering from injuries sustained during training, Strickland urged him to step up and face Tom Aspinall for the heavyweight title.
As for Conor McGregor, Strickland questioned the relevance of the former two-division champion in today’s UFC landscape. Dismissing McGregor’s potential return against Michael Chandler, Strickland bluntly stated, “Do we really care about Conor McGregor these days?”
While targeting UFC legends, Strickland hasn’t lost sight of his own ambitions. He’s been vocal about his desire for a rematch with middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, following their closely contested bout at UFC 297. Strickland remains adamant that he won the fight and is eager for the chance to reclaim the belt.
With his fearless approach inside and outside the octagon, Sean Strickland continues to command attention and stir the pot in the world of mixed martial arts.
