Fans troll Sean Strickland's "scooter" incident using his past remarks

Sean Strickland has seen himself become the butt of the joke after fans opted to troll the middleweight star for his incident with a scooter.

'Tarzan' is widely considered to be one of the most controversial fighters on the roster due to his unfiltered and brazen personality. The former 185-pound champion is known to never shy away from hot-button topics, both on his social media and in person, and has never been afraid of any backlash he may receive.

While some fans appreciate Strickland's brutal honesty, others will often troll the 33-year-old at any given opportunity, especially if he finds himself in embarrassing situations.

Recently, MMA influencer and interviewer Nina-Marie Daniele, who is close friends with Strickland, shared a video of the fighter on her social media. In the video, Strickland is seen riding an electric scooter before nearly falling off it.

Sean Strickland takes a dig at celebrities who sit front row at sporting events

Sean Strickland isn't a fan of celebrities who are handed front-row seats to some of the biggest sporting events around the world.

'Tarzan's' comments came following Anthony Joshua's boxing clash against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in the U.K. The sold-out show had over 90,000 fans in attendance, and a host of celebrities, such as Conor McGregor and Liam Gallagher, were surrounding the ring in their front-row seats.

Strickland then took X to share his thoughts, stating that there are two parts to any major sporting event. There are the die-hard fans who live for the sport and ensure it remains relevant and celebrities who are handed their tickets for free. He tweeted:

''There are two parts of sporting events..... The fans in the nose bleeds watching the sport, who make the sport. And there are "famous" people with front row seats that give zero f**ks about the sport and are just there to party....Oddest fu**ing thing...''
