Sean Strickland nearly broke up with his girlfriend after she refused to help him cover up a hypothetical murder.

The outspoken middleweight standout will receive his first crack at championship gold this weekend as the promotion returns to Australia for UFC 293. In the main event of the evening, Sean Strickland will challenge the reigning and defending 185-pound king, Israel Adesanya.

Arriving in Sydney with his girlfriend in tow days before the event, ‘Tarzan’ revealed that he nearly had to break up with her after she made it clear that she would not help him cover up a murder.
