Related Topics: Sean Strickland, Herb Dean

UFC veteran Sean Strickland has received praise from referee Herb Dean in regards to the ongoing conversation about eye pokes in the sport.

For the longest time, Sean Strickland has been viewed as a ‘bad guy’ in the world of mixed martial arts – mainly because he comes out with so many controversial statements on such a regular basis. In equal measure, he’s also a former UFC middleweight champion, and he has quite a resume in the sport, especially in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Sean Strickland is an enigma in MMA and it’ll be interesting to see what he does next, but in terms of his fight style, he certainly likes to keep things standing as opposed to going to the ground.
