Sean Strickland branded ‘UFC’s biggest imbecile’ as he makes front page of Australian newspaper ahead of UFC 312

Sean Strickland is blasted on the front page of the popular Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph.

While Strickland is preparing to make his second UFC title in a rematch against Dricus du Plessis, he makes his usual rounds in the headlines. First, Strickland Chimaev destroyed in a heated tirade, when 'Tarzan' barbed with du plessis at the UFC 312 press conference.

Now he makes the national news because the Daily Telegraph has spelled Strickland as the “UFC's largest imbecile of the UFC.” The front page of their 6 February issue called Strickland for his Vechtweek Tirades and begged: “Will someone, please this guy.”

Newspaper begs: 'Will someone beat this guy' while she brands Sean Strickland 'UFC's greatest Imbecile'

Strickland attended the UFC 312 pre-Fight press conference and then took questions to the microphone with a copy of the newspaper. They wanted the reaction from Strickland and they got it.

“Bos Communists, boys,” shouted Strickland. “I come to this F— Land and talk about freedom of expression and weapons and taxes. And you have these f— – communists in the media who try f – – put me down. Why? Because you want to control the media and you don't like freedom of expression. “

Despite the controversy, Strickland has been a favorite with Australian fans during the fighting week. Adding his popularity is Alex Pereira, who closed at Strickland's corner for his fight.

UFC reshares newspaper heads with 'Tarzan'

The UFC added insult to injuries and has re -applied the front page of the newspapers on their social media accounts. No caption was needed.

Although it is a polarizing figure in sport, Strickland will certainly make the headlines. The UFC seems to be leaning in its heel persona, despite his attempts to kill their relationship with Saudi Arabia in the construction of UFC 312.

With a victory, Strickland will probably be confronted with Chimaev in a resentment fight. However, fans have no faith in his chances, since old images show Strickland that he tells Chimaev that he is the 'best'.
