      I liked him, I thought he was someone out to break some rules that were being forced upon us. Turns out he wants to be the cop, judge and jury with a really big stick. He's a car crash and he can disappear anytime he likes. We live in an age where everyone craves a disorder and to be dysfunctional. And Sean Strickland has turned into the poster boy for that movement, lying and pretending he hated it.

      But yeah 99% of fans (and especially the fighters) had the Reaper, basically i think because he is so well liked and respected, much like most people had Max over Volk (back when Volk wasn't yet that respected).

    The only thing that you could lose respect for Sean is exactly what Dricus said. When he went after Ian Garry’s wife and said that was off limits on Theo Vons podcast. The wife talk I don’t like. But you have to respect that he fought him without even getting paid.

      She is the one who put the police pic on T shirt, she did write a book about being a WAG. her ex husband is his nutritionist, and spends alot of time with them and in the house they live in. She writes alot of his statements etc. I could go on & on. Strickland only said those facts. Plus said what the majority of men think of the whole set up with Ian gary. She started it, then didn't like it when others called her out on it all. A wife who is is the back ground of a fighter, I agree should be off limits. Those rules do not apply when it comes to her.
