UFC fighter Sean Strickland made headlines at UFC 302 media day with his strong stance against bare-knuckle fighting. The outspoken fighter made it clear that he has no intention of ever stepping into the ring for a bare-knuckle fight, no matter the amount of money offered.
In a fiery rant, Strickland criticized BKFC, calling the organization “f*cking trash” and accusing them of underpaying their fighters. He pointed out the risks involved in bare-knuckle fighting, highlighting the low pay for the physical toll it takes on the athletes.
Despite the controversy surrounding his comments, Strickland’s opponent, Paulo Costa, received support from fellow UFC fighter Mike Perry. Perry placed a $50,000 bet on Costa to win their upcoming fight, showing his confidence in the Brazilian fighter’s abilities.
While Perry may not share Strickland’s views on BKFC, he is fully backing Costa to come out on top in their bout. The tension between the fighters adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming match, with fans eager to see how it all plays out in the octagon.
As the fight approaches, all eyes will be on Strickland and Costa as they prepare to settle their differences in the ring. Will Costa prove Perry right and emerge victorious, or will Strickland silence his critics with a dominant performance? UFC fans will have to tune in to find out.
