"Gotta discipline her" - Sean Strickland gives hilarious advice to The Schmo in interview with fiancee Helen Yee

UFC middleweight Sean Strickland is set to take on Israel Adesanya in the main event of UFC 293 for the middleweight championship. The No.5 ranked contender will take on Adesanya on hostile territory in Sydney, Australia.

Ahead of his first title fight in the UFC, Strickland spoke to Helen Yee for her YouTube channel. In the interview, Strickland began by joking with Yee about her choice of clothes while referencing her recent engagement with fellow mixed martial arts reporter The Schmo.

“Helen, since you got married, I thought you started wearing more f*****g clothes to the gym. F*****g Schmo, I thought we had a talk about this. You gotta discipline her bro. Make the woman put on some clothes [when] she comes to the gym. [Well, last time I wore like a half cut shirt when I interviewed you, today it’s full] It’s time to f*****g discipline a little bit, Schmo. Nah, just kidding.”

Sean Strickland did clarify in the end that he was only jesting. He has often done interviews with both Helen Yee and The Schmo and enjoys a quite cordial relationship with both.
