WATCH: Sean Strickland suffers scary motorcycle accident again
UFC middleweight Sean Strickland's appetite for adventure has resulted in another incident for the man called 'Tarzan'.
Strickland recently uploaded a video to his Instagram page, where he can be seen riding a motorcycle. In the post, the 31-year-old appears to go down a rough path and at one point loses control of the vehicle and crashes into the bushes.
Going by the video, it does not seem like Strickland suffered any major injuries as a result of the accident.

This is not the first time Sean Strickland has been involved in a road accident. In 2018, he was driving his motorcycle at 45 mph when he was intercepted by a fan. The crash caused various injuries to Strickland, who was unconscious for several hours after the accident.
As a result, 'Tarzan' had to go through knee surgery. This put Strickland out of action for a while as he had to recover from injuries.
In 2020, the California-born had a chat with MMA Fighting, where he reflected on the incident. Strickland said that it was the 'knee injury' part that scared him more than the actual accident.
“As far as the actual accident, that wasn’t so traumatic but just waking up to ‘you’re going into knee surgery.’ That was the thing that really struck me hard. The only thing I’ve ever done in life was be a loser and be an MMA fighter. That hit me hard.”
Sean Strickland has lost two fights in a row
For the first time in his professional MMA career, Sean Strickland has faced two back-to-back defeats. Up until this point in his career, 'Tarzan' had always managed to find a way to bounce back from a loss, but not this time.
Strickland faced Alex Pereira at UFC 276 and suffered a vicious knockout loss in the opening round of the fight.
Strickland then went up against Jared Cannonier in the last UFC event of 2022. The fight was a competitive affair that ended in a split decision victory for 'The Killa Gorilla'. The three judges scored the fight 49-46, 46-49 and 49-46 in favor of Cannonier.
Strickland was not happy with the scorecards and voiced his opinion via a video on social media.
"You know guys, I'm a fu****g sore loser. Hats off to Jared but again. You have judges who don't know how to fu****g do their job. [When] You actually look at the scorecards when you look at the significant strikes and you look at how many times I wobbled him and you have people, experts in the field come up to me and say, "Yeah man, I don't know how you lost that one, you landed way more, the score cards should say it." It's evident that I won," said Sean Strickland.
