Sean Strickland is the name on everyone’s lips after his incredible performance this past weekend. Having defeated Israel Adesanya, the new Middleweight Champion is the talk of the town. Unfortunately, Strickland already has new problems after breaking his belt.
For those unaware, the middleweight title has switched hands on three occasions this year. First, it was with Pereira, then with Adesanya, and now with Strickland at UFC 293. Taking to social media, Strickland showed off his UFC title and how it was already a little broken. However, the Californian was not disheartened one bit and quickly fixed the breakage with some tape.
This is exactly what I thought Strickland’s house was gonna look like 😂 https://t.co/0VHEwEleWf

Interestingly, this was not even what caught people’s attention in the video. Taking to X, UFC lightweight and journalist Chase Hooper pointed out the interesting decor on Sean Strickland’s wall. Quote tweeting a video by Spinning Backfist, Hooper wrote, “This is exactly what I thought Strickland’s house was gonna look like”.
In true Strickland fashion, the wall in the room was decorated with posters of guns and bullets. If that wasn’t enough, Sean also had multiple assault rifles, shotguns, and pistols, along with shotgun shells, lined up on the wall behind him. For people who don’t know any better, they could easily mistake Sean for being the owner of an arms and ammunition shop instead of a UFC fighter.
Fans react to Sean Strickland and his in-house armory
Long-time followers of Strickland will know that he is one of the realest fighters in the business. Loud-mouthed, obnoxious, and painfully honest, the 32-year-old has often spoken about his love for guns. Sean, a self-proclaimed patriot and nationalist, is the kind of man who would willingly fight wars for his country.
However, seeing that he is an MMA athlete by profession, many were rather stunned by the amount of weaponry Strickland has stocked up. Previously, ‘Tarzan‘ had posted a picture of himself in the shower with an AK-47 assault rifle, so seeing this does not come as a surprise to too many people. With that said, let’s take a look at what the fans had to say about Sean and his interesting choice of home decor.

Clearly, a lot of people were rather amused to see Strickland’s wall. Interestingly, people drew comparisons between his wall and the mythical ‘Ammu-Nation’ from Grand Theft Auto lore. At the same time, some believe that they expected to see even more guns. Other users pointed out that Sean could be preparing for a zombie apocalypse as well.
Although it may be concerning for some, it is just the reality of how Strickland is as a person. Having grown up with a lot of abuse, Sean has seen and experienced a lot of changes during his life. Most recently, he has found himself as the Middleweight Champion of the world as well. As such, it will be interesting to see what life has in store for Strickland next.
