Sean Strickland has opened up about his troubling thinking as a youth when he went through a ‘neo-nazi phase’.

Strickland was on Ariel Helwani’s ‘The MMA Hour’ describing things about his past which included him having a white supremacist mindset. The UFC middleweight fighter has been in the MMA news a lot recently through his trash talking on his social media. He was outspoken about his feelings on transgenders in MMA, talking about murdering someone in a fight, and his fascination with going out to the desert with Belal Muhammad.

“I was really fucking angry,” Strickland told Helwani about his youth. “I was so angry I actually went through this weird neo-Nazi, white supremacist phase when I was younger and I got kicked out of school for hate crimes, like all this crazy shit. I was angry and I had a lot of fucked-up influences in my life that it felt so good to fucking hate something. I would walk down the street with like a knife or a rock hoping to kill somebody. And when I started training I’m like man, you’re just fucking angry.” (MMAMania)

Strickland’s last fight was against Uriah Hall back in July where he won via unanimous decision. He was booked to fight Luke Rockhold in an upcoming bout, but Rockhold was forced to withdraw from that fight due to an injury. It is great to see Strickland use that anger to fuel his career instead of such a ludicrous mindset that he once had.

“My grandfather was like this big piece of shit. When you’re a kid you don’t see that, you hero worship. He kinda just filled your head with crazy shit. You’re in seventh grade spouting off about Nazis, you don’t even know what the fuck that means. But you hear it from someone you look up to and that identity consumed me. Drawing swastikas walking to school, like I didn’t know what the fuck that was. Later my grandfather died and I kinda resented him for it. When you’re racist, you don’t get ahead in life. You’re fucked, man. There’s no privilege from being racist, so I resented him for a majority of my life.” Strickland added.

Strickland’s next bout is up in the air since Rockhold was forced to pull out. The UFC is still looking to find him an opponent for a fight in the near future.

Sean Strickland uncharacteristically paid someone a compliment during a recent appearance on Michael Bisping’s podcast before he quickly snapped back into character.

The UFC middleweight contender was discussing Conor McGregor with the former 185lb champion and while doing so labeled ‘Notorious’ “the f*cking pinnacle of success” before adding that he’s also “white trash.”

Sean Strickland Gives Conor McGregor A Backhanded Compliment

“I just heard you talking about McGregor man. McGregor is the f**king like pinnacle of success, and I’ll tell you why dude. We’re all just f**king dog and someone has our leash. You know, Dana is a dog with somebody, somebody is holding his leash. I’m a dog with Dana and he’s holding my leash. The moment you become McGregor dude, nobody has your f**king leash anymore and that’s like the f**king pinnacle of success and you can do whatever the f**k you want…Yeah but at the end of the day, don’t forget that McGregor is like a white trash f**k who came into money.” (Transcribed by Sportskeeda)

McGregor is the highest-paid athlete in sport according to Forbes. The Irishman apparently banked $180 million between May 1, 2020, and May 1, 2021, with $158 million of that total made outside of the ring.

Despite his vast wealth and growing family, McGregor seems unable to keep himself out of trouble. Earlier this week, the former dual-weight UFC champion was accused of attacking Italian DJ Francesco Facchinetti. A few weeks ago, McGregor tried to attack Machine Gun Kelly on the MTV VMA’s red carpet. The 33-year-old UFC superstar continues to find himself in trouble with the law and at odds with the public, hence Strickland’s assessment of him on the Believe You Me podcast.

Sean Strickland Wants To Meet Belal Muhammad In The Desert & Do ‘Some Weird Sh*t’ To Him

In a recent social media back and forth back between Sean Strickland and Belal Muhammad, Strickland shared his ‘fantasies’. about what he ‘would do’ to Muhammad.

Ever since Strickland’s win against Uriah Hall in July, the middleweight contender has quickly garnered a reputation for his outlandish comments and eccentric personality. Initially beginning with his comments in his post-fight interviews following the win. From he’d probably end up “cooking meth in a trailer” if he hadn’t made it to the UFC, to his addiction to adult content. He went on to say in the same interview “I would love nothing more than to kill somebody in the ring. Nothing more. It would make me super happy.”

Strickland also made similar comments on how he regretted not shooting a man in the head via his Instagram.

Strickland was scheduled to face Luke Rockhold at UFC 268 on November 6 but due to herniated discs, Rockhold withdrew from the bout. This lead to him being called out by welterweight Belal Muhammad, stating via Twitter “If they need someone for Strickland I’m down I hate that piece of trash.” Mohammad went on to state “he disrespected Palestine so I wouldn’t mind disrespecting his face”.

This lead to a heated back and forth which including Strickland stating “The next time I see you, I could just fucking backhand you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity you little fucking pussy.” But in Strickland’s most recent message he shared some rather strange thoughts.

“I want to make you an offer. You’re going to be in Vegas next week. Me and you, we can meet up in the desert dude and we can just do some weird shit together,” Strickland said in his Instagram stories. “Because it’s like, this is something that I’ve always fantasized about you know? And you are like a gazelle that wants to be a lion and you’re accepting what I want to do to you. And like dude, I want to do some weird shit to you man. Like oh man. It’s just so exciting that you’re just so okay with me doing it. Like there’s some things I’ve fantasized about for a long time and I feel like you’re going to let me do it to you.” (Transcribed by MMA Mania)

Although this back and forth is somewhat entertaining the reality is that the likelihood of this bout coming to fruition is extremely low. Although both are highly ranked (Strickland #7 Muhammad #9) they are in different divisions, Muhammad has never fought at middleweight and it would be on three weeks’ notice.

What do you think? Do you think Sean Strickland’s comments take it too far?

Sean Strickland wants Belal Muhammad to know how excited he is to live out his desert fantasies with him.

Sean Strickland has swiftly developed a reputation as one of the more, shall we say, ‘eccentric’ members of the UFC roster. In recent weeks, all that eccentricity was reserved mostly for his original UFC 268 opponent, Luke Rockhold. After going on vulgar rants aimed at Rockhold and threatening parking-lot violence, Strickland is now pushing out of the parking lot and venturing out into the desert. And he wants to take Belal Muhammad with him.

After Rockhold withdrew from UFC 268 due to back injury, one of the names that stepped forward to be his replacement was Belal Muhammad. Muhammad called out Strickland, whom he deemed to be a “piece of trash,” and received one of Strickland’s expletive-laden responses for his efforts.

One thing Muhammad took particular notice to beyond all the F-bombs and the like was Strickland’s mention of rankings. Since Strickland has said in the past that he doesn’t care about the rankings or the world title, Muhammad found the “rejection” to be more of a “revelation” of the type of man Strickland really is. And he was sure to let Strickland know that in the following Instagram post.

“After his last fight, <macho voice>“Aw, man, I’m a bad boy. I wanna kill somebody in the cage! I wanna be the first person to murder somebody! Blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah. I don’t care about titles. I’m an airhead; I’m a moron.’

“Now, it’s <wimpy voice>  ‘Oh, I want to fight ranked guys that are above me that are gonna get me closer to the title shot. And if it’s possible, can I fight in my hometown?’ <sigh> I know you had that fake persona. You’re soft.”

Sean Strickland Talks Desert Fantasies With Belal Muhammad

After viewing Muhammad’s video, Strickland decided to throw out an outlandish request to his challenger. While Strickland still doesn’t view a fight with Muhammad inside the Octagon to be feasible, he feels the two can meet up in the desert instead to do only Strickland knows what (Video courtesy of Twitter user @Tranracialangel).

“Muhammad, you need to know something, man. The UFC will never let us fight unless I get fucked up or you come to middleweight and get ranked,” Strickland said on his Instagram Stories. “And honestly, man, I’ll give you an offer because I fuckin’ like you, dude. I think you’re fuckin’ funny. I laughed at your Instagram post. It’s fuckin’ hilarious. But I want to make you an offer.

“You’re gonna be in Vegas next week. Me and you, we can meet up in the desert, dude, and we can just do some weird shit together, dude. Because it’s so wild to me. This is something I’ve always fantasized about, you know? And you’re like a gazelle that wants to be a lion, and you’re accepting what I want to do to you. And, like, dude, I want to do some weird shit to you, man. Like, ah, man, it’s so exciting that you’re so OK with doing it. There’s some things I’ve fantasized about for a long time, and I feel like you’re gonna let me do it to you.”

Sean Strickland, ladies and gentlemen.

Belal Muhammad wants to step in and face Sean Strickland.

Sean Strickland is without an opponent for his upcoming UFC 268 middleweight bout. Strickland was originally set to face Luke Rockhold at the event on Nov. 6 until Rockhold was forced out with an injury. Now Strickland will need someone to step in and Belal Muhammad has offered to do so.

“If they need someone for Strickland I’m down I hate that piece of trash,” wrote Muhammad on Twitter.

Strickland responded to Muhammad on Instagram, “Listen, Belal Muhammad, I heard you’re running your fu–in’ mouth, dude. Last time you were in Vegas, I tried to spar you because I knew you were a little fu–in’ bi–h, and I wanted to hurt you. And it was a good excuse to do it. But now, with you fu–in’ running your mouth, next time I see you, I can just fu–in’ backhand you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity you little fu–in’ pu–y.”

He also seemed to reject Muhammad’s callout in the post.

“@bullyb170 I’ve never seen you fight but next time you’re in Vegas I’m going to smack you. For free… Rankings me nothing to be but I have to go through them to get a title shot.. I don’t mind waiting for something that matters….@mickmaynard2“

Muhammad isn’t the only one who seemed interested in taking this fight with Strickland. Former welterweight title contender Gilbert Burns was another man who threw his hat in the mix. It seems Strickland has plenty of options at this point, but there was a beef building up between him and Rockhold and perhaps waiting until Rockhold is healed could be the path Strickland wants to take.

Despite the apparent decline of his fight offer, Muhammad continued to unload of Strickland on Twitter, calling him soft. Muhammad claimed that Strickland asked to only fight ranked guys. Strickland is ranked seventh in the middleweight rankings, while Rockhold is unranked at this time.
