UFC’s Middleweight division boasts some of the best and most skilled fighters in the promotion. The divisional champion Israel Adesanya is a force to be reckoned with. However, there are other dangerous fighters within the division who would do anything and everything that they can, to become champions.

One such fighter is Sean Strickland. Strickland is known for being a loudmouth and for stirring up controversies. Besides all that, the fighter also has an impressive UFC record of 27-5-0. He was a guest on a recent podcast episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. His conversation with the UFC commentator Joe Rogan, although entertaining to watch, was ‘peculiar’ according to ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley.

Like, he brings it up multiple times and Joe like… kind of directs it away… It’s weird that it-its… I’m surprised that the UFC is like, okay with that,” wondered O’Malley.

He also discussed how it would look if someone like Strickland became a champion. However, that is still a distant possibility. Meanwhile, O’Mally is just weeks away from potentially becoming a UFC champion.
