When Luke Rockhold was forced out of his scheduled fight with Sean Strickland, Strickland had no shortage of offers for a replacement. One such offer came from Belal Muhammad, a welterweight who offered to move up to middleweight and beat Strickland up. The offending line from Muhammad was that he “hates that piece of trash”.
Sean Strickland, in typical Sean Strickland style, decided that was an unacceptable personal insult. He took to Instagram to send a barrage of curse words at Belal Muhammad.
Belal Muhammad Calls Sean Strickland Out, Strickland Fires Back: “I’m going to smack you for free!”
“Listen, Belal Muhammad, I heard you’re running you’re f*****g mouth.
Last time you were in Vegas I tried to spar you because I knew you were a little f*****g b***h and I wanted to hurt you and it was a good excuse to do it.
But, now with you f****g running your mouth next time I see you I could just f*****g backhand you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity you little f*****g b***h.”
Strickland’s video caption echoed the sentiment.
“@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.”
Strickland has made much of his “psychopath” persona, and this may just be yet another example of this. He continued, directing more of his ire at Luke Rockhold for pulling out of their fight, and claiming that he wants to take out a big name.
“But, on a more serious note, now I wanted Luke Rockhold because his name carries weight. He’s an ex-champion. Like you beat Luke Rockhold it artificially bumps you up into like a two, three spot to where you beat the next guy and get a title shot.
I don’t give a f**k about rankings man, there are so many savages that aren’t ranked. But, like we’re all in this to fight for a belt right?
There’s a card in California I think in January and a couple of my buddies might be on it and I wouldn’t mind fight in my home state, right where I grew up.
But, you know I would like the fight to carry weight. If I fight, I want the fight to mean something and potentially put me in line for a title shot.”
