"Most normal Sean Strickland post I’ve ever seen" - Fans react as UFC middleweight shares adorable post with his girlfriend and pet dog

Controversies aside, Sean Strickland is a simple man when it comes to expressing appreciation for the companionship of his partner or dog. Often viewed as a contrarian when it comes to liberal views and prevailing social norms, Strickland sometimes steps away from that image to project a simpler image.

The former UFC middleweight champion posted a bunch of adorable pictures with his girlfriend and pet dog from a lakeside escapade, captioning the post:

"Well I don't know much about life but I know it's significantly better with a dog and a good woman."

"Most normal Sean Strickland post I’ve ever seen."

"It’s been quite the ride following Sean’s career and outlook on life. Cool to see the growth."

"Bro is in love love, wholesome"

"Strickland with a woman‼️I remember in his UFC pre-fight interview he was talking about how he wasn’t there yet. Happy for you."

"Remember when you were like, 'I don’t get dogs man, dogs make you weak."

Sean Strickland lashes out at Khamzat Chimaev's SMASH meme coin controversy

Khamzat Chimaev garnered attention for all the wrong reasons when he promoted the meme coin SMASH, whose value crashed significantly since then.

According to reports, the price rose from a value of $0.0001147 to $0.007308 initially but fell by 94% over the next day, settling at $0.0004209 according to data from DEXScreener. It later came to light that over 78% of the coin’s supply had been purchased by “insider and dev team wallets," crashing the price in the process.

Chimaev refuted the allegations and clarified his role by asserting that it was a mistake from his manager. In the same interview with Aslanbek Badaev, 'Borz' shed light on a sparring session with Sean Strickland, claiming that he was getting the better of the American.

Strickland took to X to react to Chimaev's comments and the recent SMASH meme coin controversy, writing:

"I'm glad he found time to speak this BS. I thought he was too busy running from crypto scams and hiding from warlords."

He added:

"Been on x too much. I'll leave you all with this. That was 100 percent to scam his fans. How do I know this?!? I was just approached to do this same thing... Integrity you either have it or you don't. Y'all shouldn't let this vanish in a news cycle."
