When UFC fighter Sean Strickland got angry and called rapper Machine Gun Kelly a "weirdo" to his face: "I'm easy to find, vampire man"
UFC middleweight Sean Strickland rarely hesitates to speak his mind and that's a big part as to why he has become such a polarizing figure. When Strickland met rapper Machine Gun Kelly, he didn't mince his words.
When Strickland crossed paths with Kelly earlier this year, he labelled the rapper a "weirdo" and stated that he dressed like a vampire. Later, after the two individuals went their own ways, Strickland can be seen shouting at the rapper, telling him that he was an easy man to find.
'Tarzan' can be heard saying:
"He's a weirdo, dude... You're dressed like a f**king vampire... I don't know who the f**k that guy is. I'm easy to find, vampire man."

"I almost hit a vampire tonight... LOL! They said his name is Machine Gun Kelly... How do you have a dope a** name and dress like a 13 goth South Park character?"
Sean Strickland speaks on the challenges of fighting Alex Pereira
Despite having fought each other, Sean Strickland and Alex Pereira clearly have a cordial relationship, and the two have even trained together multiple times. In a video originally shared by one of Alex Pereira's coaches, Pilnio Cruz, Strickland can be seen and heard talking about the difficulties of facing 'Poatan.'
He said:
"I'm not scared of Alex. But the problem is, my chin will just, I mean, I'll go to sleep. Like, it's a weird thing when you fight Alex. For me to knock Alex out, he has to do something really stupid. Like he has to do what he did against [Israel Adesanya]. Like if you give me one free shot and you said give everything I can to it, I'm not knocking him out. But you do that to Alex, everybody on the roster's going to sleep." [h/t - Championship Rounds]
