For those who are unaware, a "wheelie" is a bike trick that requires the biker to ride with the front wheel raised in the air. On a motorbike, this maneuver is quite difficult and dangerous.

The adventure started with Sean Strickland posting a video on his Instagram stories, saying:

"So [the] last time I wheelied...I did a backflip. We're gonna try it again today."

Strickland then posted a story of him excited on his bike. He then posted another video story showing a gash on his hand, saying:

"Well guys I got a little overconfident. I was riding the balance point, I was doing it. I was keeping it up, and then went a little bit too far back."

After showing that his bike didn't sustain much damage and that it was an "easy fix", Strickland posted another video of his injured hand, saying:

"I tell you what, training today is gonna f**king suck. But I'm an idiot. I flipped my bike. Gotta man up and train."

He then posted a photo of his bike on the road, presumably right after the wheelie accident.

Sean Strickland slams Las Vegas motorcycle dealerships: "You guys are f**king thieves"

To cap off his string of Instagram stories, Sean Strickland posted a video criticizing Las Vegas motorcycle dealerships. This is under the presumption that the former UFC champ had his bike fixed after the accident or inquired about buying a new one and had some complaints about the price.

Strickland said:

"Yo Vegas motorcycle dealerships. You guys are f**king thieves, man. You're talking about two, three, four thousand dollar markup. I can go to Utah, I can go to California and buy that s**t in SRP (Standard Retail Price). But you guys f**king try to charge five, four thousand dollars, like what the f**k!"
