Sean Strickland

Controversial UFC middleweight contender, Sean Strickland has hit out at light heavyweight striker, Khalil Rountree – claiming that the Los Angeles native, who detailed his mental health struggles through tears following his UFC Vegas 50 last weekend, was a “PC BETA male”.

Strickland, a hugely outspoken figure on the promotion’s roster, has received mass criticism for comments throughout last year and this year, after he openly admitted that he had fantasised and dreamt about possibly killing one of his opponents inside the Octagon, and was battling urges to kill members of society throughout everyday life. 

Turning in his second straight victory at UFC Vegas 50 last weekend following a brutal leg kick finish over Modestas Bukauskas, the aforenoted, Rountree finished Karl Roberson in devastating fashion – dropping his opponent before following up with a soccer kick to the midsection and then further dropping him with subsequent strikes.
