The UFC 312 Media Day from Sean Strickland was just as crazy as you would expect.
The former UFC champion middleweight has built up a reputation as an unpredictable wild man outside the Octagon – you never know what he will say or do.
Only a few days before his title fight Rematch with Dricus du Plessis, Strickland was caught on the camera that fell from a motorcycle.
Now he has launched an explicit tirade with top middleweight competition Khamzat Chimaev.

Sean Strickland Rants About Khamzat Chimaev
Sean Strickland became personal when he pointed 'Borz' during the UFC 312 Media Day.
Chimaev has a long -term relationship with the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, currently sanctioned by the United States for human rights violations.
Over the years, the undefeated phenomenon has had difficulty reaching a visa to fight in the US – but UFC -Baas Dana White insists that this will not be a problem after the recent move from Chimaev to the United Arab Emirates .
“We have to talk about Mr. Chimaev,” Strickland told reporters on Wednesday. “Let's talk about this F— Guy. I keep hearing this, chimaev that 'but what do the history and facts say about Chimaev? You are media, you should know this.
“Chimaev fled Chechenia with his family because of an oppressive, war dictator who killed people without distinction. Don't hate him, it's your country. He goes back to Chechenia, and he goes back to Chechenia because someone wants to buy a G-wagon for him and he says: 'Oh yes! I'll be that …-. I'll do it. I will bow the knee for you, man. I like f—— g-wagons! '
“Now he hides. And what does he do now? He has a Bitcoin F – Scam and he lights up all his fans.
'Let me tell you something, I had the same Bitcoin -wang that offers me. It was like $ 100,000 $ 200,000. I had something like that, f – you, guy. I'm not going to light up my fans. I don't need any money. But that's what Chimaev did.
'So yes, Chimaev, you can fight. You can fight. You have a beard. But let history take it up as you are sir, AW —. You fled a country, you went back and you got a buddy buddy with a dictator and you fled again. It doesn't matter how good a hunter you are, you are and will always be-w —. “
What is the next step for Khamzat Chimaev?
Chimaev choked Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 to earn a middleweight title shot.
The 30-year-old will keep a close eye on when Strickland and Du Plessis are Rematch on Saturday night.
It seems certain that he will face the winner, but when and where a mystery remains for UFC fans.
The boss of Chimaev has assured that his title fight could take place everywhere, also in the US.
“Do not listen to those bulls -” White responded to a question about Chimaev who has difficulty coming in after UFC Saudi Arabia. “He comes to the United States. I am confident that we can get him to the country. “
If Chimaev cannot fight against Strickland or Du Plessis for whatever reason, it is clear who would fill his place.
Nassourdine Imavov shocked Israel Adseanya before he called for a title shot last weekend.
It now seems to be a matter of time before he fights for 185 pounds of gold in the UFC Octagon.
