However, Sean Strickland continuously finds himself under the wrong headlines.

So why do UFC fans like Sean Strickland? Well, for all the things I just mentioned.

Sean Strickland has a great sense of humor, however, more often than not, they are disgusting and controversial.

[{"selector":"#anim-6307cd45-7ae1-45ee-a91c-23f1c488e79b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2000,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1c1415be-47f0-4c1e-b9de-cc926bf26912","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125.50607%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":2000,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-98214b6b-be98-41c4-8359-7e90ac363652 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

And it goes without saying, fans love controversial. They love love Strickland's outspoken, unapologetic, and brutally honest nature.

Sean Strickland is like the many of us, with his fair share of flaws, and weird school of thoughts. He is as psycho as all the fight fans.

Additionally, his comeback following the career ending motorbike accident has inspired many fight fans around the world.
