Luke Rockhold and Sean Strickland were supposed to face off against each other at UFC 268, until a back injury sidelined the former middleweight champion. The pair have also trained together in the past, but it’s somewhat unsurprising that the two middleweights with polarizing personalities never really seemed to get along.
Strickland, who admitted to having a neo-Nazi “phase” and claims he’d “love” to legally kill someone, has said a lot of controversial and outrageous things as of late. He also claimed he’s willing to take a “misdemeanor charge” to beat up Rockhold in the parking lot.
