Belal Muhammad completely shredded Sean Strickland following his lackluster efficiency in opposition to Dricus Du Plessis in Australia.
Returning to The Land Down Below, Strickland was primed to take again the middleweight title from the identical man he surrendered it to slightly greater than a 12 months in the past. As an alternative, ‘DDP’ delivered a dominant five-round efficiency, stifling Strickland’s offense and breaking the outspoken star’s nostril to safe his second profitable title protection within the UFC 312 headliner.
Of those that slammed Strickland’s efficiency, no one was extra harsh in his evaluation than reigning welterweight champion Belal Muhammad. In a scathing rant on social media, ‘Rember The Name’ dubbed Strickland a “racist clown” and a “coward” after watching him fall to 3-2 in his final 5 outings.
“He wants people to say that ‘he’s crazy, he’s nuts.’ He’s not. He’s just a racist little clown that’s hiding in the body of a fighter. He’s a coward,” Muhammad stated in a video on X. “Sean sucks. He’s trash. Talks a big game but he never walks.”
dana White praises sean strickland’s professionalism in brutal loss
Whereas everybody, together with UFC analyst Din Thomas, was completely happy to blast Strickland’s efficiency in Sydney and label him a fraud, CEO Dana White took a special method, praising ‘Tarzan’ for his professionalism, even after getting his nostril damaged mid-fight.
“I’ll tell you something fascinating that I noticed tonight for the first time,” White stated. “So Sean Strickland, the way in which that he acts main as much as fights, proper? Usually when you’ve guys who act the way in which that he acts you see indicators of it in a combat.
“Who is more focused, professional, and solid in a fight than he is when he gets hurt? No sticking out the tongue or ‘no no, that didn’t hurt me’ or anything. The guy stays focused, keeps coming forward, there’s never any hint of how he acts outside of the octagon when he’s in there. Absolute professional the whole time, it’s actually fascinating. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that with a guy who acts the way he does leading up to fights.”
