At UFC 296 at T-Mobile Arena, there was a fracas between fighters Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis, who were not even competing for real, as the two came to blows.
According to ESPN broadcaster Jon Anik, Strickland was removed from the arena following the brawl.
After the altercation, Strickland took to X.
“I go hard on everyone I know this, izzy mouth feeding his dog, Dricus kissing his coach and grabbing his cup,” he wrote on social media, seemingly also calling out fighter Israel Adesanya. “[Sean O’Malley] talking about sharing his wife in a podcast. You’re a man, on a world stage doing this in public.”
