The MMA Road Show with John Morgan - Episode 602 - Vegas

All right, well, speaking of, uh, hurricanes and, uh, being at the lowest point ever, how about Sean Strickland?

He's certainly at a pretty low point, right?

[laughs] This is g- this man, I mean, I, I've always said it, right? I respect the fact that Sean Strickland will just straight up speak his mind, right?

Yeah.

There's something to be said for a guy that just like, "I don't need a filter.

I'm going to stand for what I believe in-

Yeah

... and I'm gonna say whatever the hell I feel."

Yep.

Um, but certainly gotta be ruffling some feathers right now with his bosses at the UFC just saying either, A, let me go out of my contract, or B, you know what? I'm just gonna fight out my contract, and I'm gonna make sure the fight sucks, and I'm gonna boo right along with you.

And what's funny is he says, "You'll boo me and I'll boo along right with you." And I don't think he's lying one bit.

Yeah.

Like, I think he would actually just be in the middle of a fight going, "Boo, this fight sucks," right?

[laughs]

"Ah, this is terrible." Uh, weird.

Uh, I, I don't know, man.

I, like I said-

It's a weird flex.

I, I, yeah.

I mean, I appreciate him.

You know, Sean's like, he's an interesting character because, you know, we've seen him go through different sort of mental phases and things out there when he deals with stuff.

And you know, and for him to get to the point where I think he's just a matter of, like, he's valuing his worth, and you know, maybe he's just not having as much fun right now with the sport.

So if you're forced to do something or you're doing something, you chose this as your career, and you know, like, it's just not as much fun, so let me just get w- let me get my bag and get out of here, you know? And I can't blame him for that, you know? Um- But, you know, to try to say if you're gonna, you know, underperform's never gonna do you any favors-

Right

... you know, stuff like that.
