Sean Strickland has become one of the most popular yet polarizing fighters on the UFC roster due to his willingness to consistently speak his mind. The No.1-ranked middleweight recently revealed that he has been struggling with his mental health.
Speaking in a video shared to his Instagram, 'Tarzan' stated:
"All week I've been f**ked up, dude. I've been on the Twitter saying crazy s**t just f**king spiraling. I woke up and I told my girl - I was like, 'babe, I feel like I'm a danger to people. I don't feel like I should be out in the world'. You know, I have everything. I'm rich. I'm famous. Like, I have everything I've ever f**king wanted and I still am mentally unwell and I get in these mindsets to where I want to burn everything down in the world."
Strickland continued:
"I want to have nothing so I can just f**king lose it and just take out everything on people... I have everything I want and I still struggle with mental health and my memory is so short... Once I get past it, I think to myself, 'oh man, that was a really rough time in my life', but then when I really think about it, this happens multiple times a month, every month... I have everything I could ever want in the world and I still struggle."
