"We were being f*cking r*tards" - Ex-UFC star details gym altercation involving Sean Strickland
Sean Strickland was reportedly responsible for breaking up a fight involving a former UFC fighter.
Former UFC welterweight fighter Jake Shields took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to narrate an incident that occurred recently at his gym. He got into a fight with another person at the gym and was surprised by Strickland uncharacteristically breaking up the fight.
Strickland has garnered a reputation for being rash through his public statements about violence and mental illness. In his post, Shields wrote:
"Seeing this tweet reminded me of how i got in a fight last week at the gym and Sean was the only one responsible and broke it up I'm so used to Sean getting into fights and instigating so I expected him to lock us in the cage."
He continued:
"We were being f*****g r*****s trying to fight for no good reason So Sean was being mature These things happen in fight gyms which is why it is extra gay that Mike Jackson pressed charges when I beat his a**"

Shields and Strickland train together at the Xtreme Couture Mixed Martial Arts gym in Las Vegas and the incident most likely happened there.
Strickland also confirmed that he disagreed with Shields' dispute and the unnecessary fighting. He even went as far as to suggest settling the dispute in the cage. He wrote:
"The stupidest s**t I've ever seen.... Arguing about who hit who harder.. You're mma fighters f*****g idiots just go fight in the cage or shut the f**k about it lol"
