Sean Strickland lashes out at critics: “If you were to tell me that, I’d slap you in the face”
Video recently emerged of UFC middleweight Sean Strickland hitting former ADCC World Champion and IBJJF World Champion Orlando Sanchez after Strickland was unhappy with Sanchez’s attempted submission in a session training.
The spit out training video between Sanchez and no. Below is the 11th ranked middleweight competitor.
Sanchez explained his side of the story at a FloGrappling event in a video posted to their Instagram. This video is also available below.
Since the release of the training video, Stricklands’ reaction to the training video has been criticized by some fans in the MMA community.
In an Instagram video posted by Strickland, he took responsibility and also encouraged the Keyboard Warriors to voice the same criticisms they’ve typed him on social media if or when they see him in person.

I reposted it because I thought it was funny. Orlando? He’s a good guy. He probably didn’t want to hurt me, Strickland said. The main thing was I didn’t expect someone to do this [in] grappling and maybe that was my f – k up. Maybe I should have expected him to do that. I take responsibility for it.
But to you guys like, on my reaction. Listen, guys, run your mouth. If you saw me in person. If you saw me in person and came and told me that, I’d slap you in the face. And let’s say you’re not cool like Orlando. Let’s say you’re ad-k, get mad and put your hands up, not like Orlando. I will keep hitting you in the face. I’m a caged fighter, that’s what I do. I like to hurt people. Don’t be shocked at what I’ve done be shocked at yourself. In fact, if you want to kick your fucking mouth off the internet, you should come see me, do it in person, and bring your fucking kids. So after slapping you in the mouth, they could watch me slap their cowardly fucking dad, and maybe they can learn a lesson and not be ab-h like you. Stay off the Internet. Stop running around.
Stricklands’ next fight will be his first main event as he faces none. Ranked 9th among Uriah Hall middleweights on July 31 at UFC on ESPN + 49.
