A few days before Christmas, UFC Hall-of-Famer Stephan Bonnar passed away suddenly at age 45 due to supposed heart complications while at work. As expected, tributes poured in as people within the MMA community shared their memory of “The American Psycho.”

While it was a nice, heartwarming gesture, UFC middleweight Sean Strickland didn’t see it that way. The outspoken fighter instead called out those who paid their social media tributes in a short Instagram video he posted.

“Stephan Bonnar just died and like my Instagram feed, Google is flooded with pictures of people like, ‘Hey, this is me and Bonnar training, we are buddies we used to hang out back in the day,’ like I’m going to post a picture about him and get double tap likes,” he said (transcript by MMA News).
