UFC fighter Sean Strickland was recently involved in a minor scuffle with jiu-jitsu world champion Orlando Sanchez at the RVCA Training Center. During a grappling session, Strickland threw a punch, followed by a kick, at Orlando, before accusing the BJJ ace of snapping his arm.
Orlando Sanchez, a former ADCC world champion, promptly protested Sean Strickland's accusations, claiming that he was trying to get a hold of 'Tarzan' in a submission. Strickland, who is gearing up for a fight later this month, said it was a 'd**k move' on Sanchez's part nonetheless. The 11th-ranked middleweight left the mat, insisting that Orlando's yank had rendered his arms sore.
"Let's be honest, bro. You know if someone does that you and you try to yank that s**t, that is first, bro. We all know it is dirty...it's f**king sore. I'm f**ked, dude," said Sean Strickland.
Sean Strickland later posted a clip from the aforesaid sparring session on his Instagram. Strickland has stated that there will be a rematch between himself and Orlando Sanchez on Friday.
"Soo who was the bigger c*** here? Me or @orlandogb72 ??!?! Lol And yes there will be a rematch Friday lol!!!," wrote Sean Strickland on Instagram.
