Video – Sean Strickland smashes fan in brutal sparring session ahead of UFC Vegas 76 headliner

Sean Strickland invited an MMA fan inside the cage at Xtreme Couture for a sparring session that went exactly how you’d expect it to.

Strickland, one of the UFC’s most polarizing characters for his outspoken and often-controversial opinions, is set to make his return to the Octagon on Saturday for a main event clash with streaking standout Abus Magomedov. Ahead of his Fight Night headliner, ‘Tarzan’ was spotted mixing it up with a man only identified as “Johnny” in a video clip initially shared on Strickland’s Instagram.

To be fair, Johnny appears to know a thing or two about striking but was obviously no match for one of the middleweight division’s top stars.
