In anticipation of the title fight of Sean Strickland against Dricus du Plessis on UFC 312, he has gone a verbal tear at the rest of the middleweight division.
Sean Strickland has always been one of, if not the most pronounced hunter in the entire UFC schedule and that led him to be one of the most popular hunters in the sport.
With that popularity, Strickland apparently received a preferential treatment from the promotion, because he has received a middleweight title shot against Dricus du Plessis, despite the fact that he has only won one victory since his loss against 'still knows'.
Prior to their UFC 312 collision, on typical Strickland -fashion, he exchanged verbal spats with Du Plessis and even offered him a men's agreement pact.

Sean Strickland calls Robert Whittaker 'A Can' while he is Khamzat Chimaev fragmented
The majority of the UFC fan base expected Khamzat Chimaev to get the next 185 pound of title shot after his extremely impressive first round entry victory over Robert Whittaker at UFC 308.
Nevertheless, UFC boss Dana White Strickland promised the title shot and that led to an online feud between 'Tarzan' and Chimaev.
With that, the former middleweight champion has made a chance on 'Borz', claiming that his victory over Whittaker was not as impressive as it was made.
“He went hard and he fought after ****** man who really came out f ***** flat and doesn't release ***,” Strickland told Mmajunkie.
“Rob is known that it was apart from ****** superstar or off ******, and he was finished ****** Can (against Chimaev). He just got too much busy. After I finished Chimaev, he goes back to Crypto -wang, “he went on.
Although the 33-year-old Chimaev's victory has hit 'The Reaper', Whittaker is a former champion and the only victory of Strickland since his title loss against Paulo Costa, who is 1-4 in his last five fights.
“Can Chimaev fight? Yes. He can fight. But you are not finished ******. I know you're not a man. You know you are not a man. The whole world knows you are not a man, “said Strickland.
Khamzat Chimaev will fight against the winner of the UFC 312 Main Event
Not only wanted to see most of the Fanbase du Plessis vs Chimaev, but even 'Still Knocks' admitted that he wanted to fight against Chimaev instead of Strickland.
Fortunately, however, Chimaev has now promised a constant feud with both hunters and White that the Chetsjen will fight the winner of the UFC 312 Main Event.
Bizarre enough, Chimaev and Strickland train together at Xtreme Couture, and head coach, Eric Nicksick believes that the two could play on their rivalry and seem to be secretly worse than it is to build the hype.
