Strickland Hits Fan Ahead Of Fight Against Adesanya

American UFC fighter Sean Strickland said he punched a fan ahead of his middleweight title fight with New Zealand's Israel Adesanya. The fighters will meet in the octagon on the night of September 10 at UFC 293.

Sean Strickland told FOX Sports Australia:

I’d only been in Australia a day and already I’d committed an assault. Initially, I thought the guy was coming up for a photo because anybody who wants a photo, man, I love the fans. But if you wanna come up to me and run your (expletive) mouth, I’ll smack you like I smack anybody else. Uppercut to his stomach. Then I walked away.

Strickland last fought against Abusupiyan Magomedov this past July at UFC on ESPN 48. Sean won that fight by technical knockout in the second round. He has 27 wins and five losses on his record.
