UFC fighter Sean Strickland apparently thought the best way to promote his upcoming match with Anthony Hernandez was to make vulgar, sexist comments about two of the biggest personalities in mixed martial arts.
During a press gathering on Wednesday, Strickland turned a question about the upcoming coming-out-of-retirement match between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano into a bizarre rant where he discussed his childhood masturbation habits while trashing women’s sports.
Strickland started off his charm offensive ― minus the charm ― by mocking Paramount+, the streamer carrying Saturday’s match, because it “fucking ruined ‘Halo’” by making it “gay,” before referencing the Rousey-Carano match scheduled for May.
“Whoever thought about that?” he wondered, before asking, “Are they gonna be half naked? It might make it a little better.”
Strickland did praise Rousey’s ability ― “That bitch can fight” ― and also said he liked the fact that Carano is “like, super conservative,” before going into a memory no one wanted to hear ― trust us.
“I was like a kid when she fought. I may have jerked off to her once or twice back in the day … I was like, what, like 12? I was jerking off when I was 12.”
He then suggested that “nobody gives a fuck” about the Rousey-Carano fight, but suggested, “maybe put some oil on it, you know. Do some dollar bills. People might give a fuck.”
Strickland then claimed that “no one gives a fuck about women’s sports,” and that the “weakest, softest motherfucker” attending the presser could easily beat up current female UFC star Amanda Nunes.
But Strickland took great pains to let reporters in attendance know that “there’s nothing wrong with women,” but his reasons seemed straight out of the Stone Age.
“I mean, they do great things. You know, they fucking — they cook, they clean,” he noted, before adding, “There are no women in prison, right? Like, that’s why I didn’t go to fucking prison, knowing I’m gonna have to go be surrounded by a bunch of fucking dudes for 30 years. I’m not doing that shit … Problem is, we’ve empowered them too much to ruin society.”

But this isn’t exactly a surprise for anyone familiar with the mixed martial artist.
Last month, he attacked Hernandez, his opponent this coming Saturday, with a social media post showing himself dressed as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer and Hernandez in a poncho and sombrero.
Hernandez told a podcast on Tuesday that he plans to “fucking torture” Strickland when they fight this weekend.
Strickland did comment on his wild Wednesday presser on Thursday, saying he got “rage baited” by a reporter and emphasizing his distaste for Paramount+’s “Halo” show.
