Sean Strickland is set to face off against his friend, Uriah Hall, at UFC Vegas 33 on July 31.

Ahead of the eagerly anticipated middleweight main event, Strickland has been reminiscing about his old training sessions with the Ultimate Fighter runner-up.

“I consider Uriah a friend of mine,” Strickland told LowKickMMA. “Not only (did I train with him) at Xtreme Couture but also back in Reign when Mark Munoz was throwing down. I’ve trained with him a lot, he was actually a guy I didn’t really like to train with because he was kind of a f*cking d*ck. The things he threw were so dangerous and he had like no control of it. So, when you spar Uriah, you have to fight Uriah to shut that down.”

Despite having enjoyed a friendly relationship Strickland insists he had no hesitation accepting a fight against ‘Primetime’.

The 30-year-old will enter UFC Vegas 33 with a true understanding of just how dangerous his opponent and just how badly this fight could potentially go for him

“Uriah’s path to success if catching me,” Strickland said. “He’s a very dangerous man and if I fuck up you’re gonna see me waking up on the canvas, that’s a likely possibility.

On the flip side, Strickland has a very clear game plan in mind for fighting Hall.  

“My path to success it like cutting down a tree and I’m a f*cking axe, man. I just gotta keep hitting it over and over again, from round one to round five, just say in his face. And he knows that. Maybe (I’ll) throw in a takedown here and there. He knows that. He’s going to try and catch me and I’m going to try to beat him to death.

Who do you think takes the UFC Vegas 33 main event? Sean Strickland or Uriah Hall?

Sean Strickland has issued an angry video statement addressing the trolls that have come for him in the aftermath of his viral altercation with Orlando Sanchez.

The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion had a falling out with Strickland during a sparring session. Strickland accused Sanchez of using a “dirty move” whilst wrestling. Whilst in a collar tie, Sanchez got what he referred to as a “quick little submission”, by using an unusual Mir Lock which resulted in Strickland screaming and angrily throwing blows at his sparring partner.

Since the video, Strickland has apparently been getting some stick online. The UFC middleweight took to social media on Monday to issue a scathing response.

“Listen, you guys running your f*cking mouth, if you were to see me in person and come say that sh*t to me, I would smack you in the f*cking face,” Strickland said. “Let’s say you’re not cool like Orlando, let’s say you’re a d*ck, and you get mad, and you put your hands up, not like Orlando, I would continue to hit you in the f*cking face.”

“I’m a cage fighter,” Strickland continued. “This is what I f*cking do. I like to hurt people. Don’t be shocked at what I did. Be shocked at yourself. ”

“Matter of fact, if you want to run your f*cking mouth, (but) not on the internet, you should come up to me, do it in person, and bring your f*cking kids,” Strickland challenged. “So after I smack you in the mouth, they can watch me smack their f*cking coward father, and maybe they can learn a lesson and not be a b*tch like you.”

“Stay off the internet. Stop running your f*cking mouth.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)

Orlando Sanchez Addresses Using ‘Dirty Move’ On Sean Strickland

Orlando Sanchez

Orlando Sanchez addressed the viral video which flooded the internet earlier this week. For those out of the loop, the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Champion had a falling out with UFC fighter Sean Strickland during a sparring session. Here, Strickland accused Sanchez of using a “dirty move” whilst wrestling. Whilst in a collar tie, Sanchez got what he referred to as a “quick little submission”, by using an unusual Mir Lock which resulted in Strickland screaming in what was a verbal tap.

At a Jiu Jitsu event just days later, Sanchez reflected on the issue and gave his side to the story. According to Sanchez, there was missing context from the video and viewers made assumptions about what went down. Wearing sunglasses and sporting cauliflower ears, he said “Man, it went viral for like three days. Millions of views over some dumb stuff. Firstly, everybody thinks this guy (Sean Strickland) was my training partner.

I’d never met him before in my life. I had no clue who he was, nothing. This guy just kept talking rubbish. He just kept running his mouth. He said he’d do some wrestling rounds, so the coach was like “Do a round with Orlando!” He started talking stupid stuff about Jiu Jitsu and goes “regardless of who you are or what you’ve done, I’m still going to beat you up”. It didn’t bother me but I was like is he talking to me?” (H/T:FloGrappling)

With this said, it turns out that Sanchez wasn’t actually involved in some form of camp with Strickland. Instead, he randomly happened to be at the same gym as him. Not only this but there was definitely an element of trash talk from Strickland before sparring, according to Sanchez. As it happens, Sanchez is no stranger to MMA and has a 5-0 record as well as being a black belt in BJJ.

He also added, “I didn’t know he had a fight…nothing. He’s not my training partner, he was some guy saying he was going to beat my ass. It was nothing to hurt him, those that know me know I wouldn’t intentionally hurt a training partner. It’s not a dirty move, if you’re cranking it all the way up and not letting go then ok. I knew how far I pushed it, it went about two inches to wake him up and he had his reaction, but literally right after the video he apologized. I don’t hold anything though. People were making fake accounts, saying they wanted to kill my mom and wild stuff. It’s all good, it’s all love. You can’t expect to say “I’m going to beat you up” and not expect anything.” I got hundreds of messages saying he’s a bully and goes round beating people up.”

Of course, these are the words of Orlando Sanchez and Sean Strickland will possibly see things differently. Whether he comments on the matter is still unknown. However, what is known is that Strickland will face Uriah Hall on the 31st of July as the main event. By then, his arm should have healed and he will be looking to improve on his impressive 23-3 MMA record.
