‘Deep inside, he’s not a bad guy’ - Vettori explains ‘weird relationship’ with Sean Strickland

They say there is no such thing as bad press, and it’s something UFC middleweight Sean Strickland seems to live by. Six-fight win streak aside, “Tarzan” has drawn negative attention for himself, both for antics inside and outside the gym and through some of his statements.

Regardless of the aforementioned, some of Strickland’s training partners have some positive words about him. Fellow middleweight and sparring partner Marvin Vettori, for one, had this to say:

“It’s a very weird relationship me and Sean have. We respect each other and he says a lot of crazy shit.
