Sean Strickland might be one of the most outspoken warriors in the world of mixed martial arts. The fighter is indeed proud of his 26-5-0 record. However, one shall never cross the lines and challenge a true fan. Strickland, unfortunately, made that one mistake on ‘The MMA Hour’. He doubted Ariel Helwani as an MMA fan. Furthermore, the middleweight fighter even claimed that the reporter should become a golf analyst instead. Without a doubt, the accusation infuriated Helwani, and he broke all barriers in his rage. The Canadian-American MMA journalist made sure that the fighter knew where he stood as a fan of mixed martial arts. Undeniably, the outburst moved the fans as they uplifted Helwani in the comments section of an Instagram post.

Helwani has gotten into multiple feuds. The list includes Dana White, Paddy Pimblett, and many more. The one lesson that everyone learned was to never challenge a person’s work and interests. Helwani made sure to respond to Pimblett and let him know that the accusations he made weren’t true. Similarly, Strickland also faced the same situation.

Helwani recently uploaded a video clip from his show, ‘The MMA Hour’, on his Instagram page. The video showed the Canadian MMA journalist slamming Strickland as the fighter disrespected Helwani’s interest in the sport. Without a doubt, the reporter stood up for himself and quieted the fighter.

What exactly happened in The MMA Hour?

During the talks, the light heavyweight fighter opined that Helwani should be a golf commentator or a golf analyst. He questioned Helwani’s job. Although Helwani claimed he created the job, Strickland was strong in his belief that he was not a true MMA fan. Doubtlessly, the words disrupted Helwani’s peace and unleashed the beast.

Helwani unleashed hell upon the fighter. “Bro, I was at the bar watching MMA when you were in your father’s nut*ack. When you didn’t even know what the f**k MMA was, dude, I was talking about MMA. I was doing a radio show at Syracuse University in 2001. How old were you in 2001? You were in f**king 4th grade when I was talking about MMA. When I was hosting an MMA show.”

Finally, Strickland had no other option but to shut down and let Helwani take the win.
