The antics of Sean Strickland outside the cage always seem to put him in trouble or hurt.
On the coming Saturday at UFC 312, Sean Strickland wants to recover the title of the middleweight when he takes on Drus Du Plessis in the main event.
The two met for the first time on UFC 297 last January when Du Plessis Strickland was dismissed after a controversial victory of the split. Since then, 'Tarzan' has complained about the decision.
In anticipation of his Rematch against the South African, Strickland has re -applied a fan during the open training sessions after sparing with him on stage the last time he fought du plessis.

Sean Strickland almost ended his career after motorcycle accident
Only a week out of his collision against 'Still Knocks' in Australia, Strickland fell from his motorcycle while showing off with the embedded camera.
However, this is not the first time that the 33-year-old had a problem on his motorcycle, but the first was a bit more serious.
In anticipation of his historical title upset against Israel Adesanya, Strickland had an accident on his motorcycle and doctors advised him not to fight afterwards.

On the way home of a training session in 2018, Strickland bumped into a van while he was driving on his motorcycle, making him unconscious for hours.
As a result of the accident, Strickland tore his patella and it was separated from his knee that required surgery. The subsequent rehabilitation lasted more than two years and he returned to the Octagon in 2020.
“I am not to blame anyone else. I was on a motorcycle. I was a idiot. I did it. So at the end of the day it is as if I have done this to myself. I made my bed and it's crazy, but you only live once, “said on the media day for his return to Jack Marshman.
Will Sean Strickland UFC Gold reclaim from UFC 312?
Although Strickland has only gained a victory against the regulating Paulo Costa since he has lost the title, he undoubtedly has faith that he will do the job against Du Plessis this time.
It is fair to say that 'Tarzan' has many doubters on Saturday evening to remain silent after his combat style criticized.
The 33-year-old is the Underdog on his way to his Rematch against 'Stillnocks', but he still has one of the greatest underdog victories in the history of UFC after the dentis of Adesanya.
