Love him or hate him, Sean Strickland is anything but weak minded. Despite being viciously knocked out by Alex Pereira at UFC 276 two years ago, Strickland was still willing to exchange leather with the Brazilian during a recent sparring session.
‘Tarzan’ is likely within touching distance of a title shot at middleweight and has no concerns with sitting on the sidelines until he is granted one. He has won in four of his last five appearances inside the octagon, most recently beating Paulo Costa via split decision on June 1.
As he looks to improve his game ahead of a potential future title shot, Sean Strickland rocked up to Alex Pereira’s gym. The pair shared a joke or two before getting to work.
The former foes traded shots in a light sparring session, with clean strikes being landed on both sides. Following the spar, they began taking turns working the punching bag.
It is common for Strickland to go out of his way to spar everyone, no matter if they’re a professional fighter or a social media influencer. Though, it isn’t often we get to see him do light sparring like he did with Pereira.

Sean Strickland lashes out at Harley Davidson
While it may be controversial at times, Sean Strickland is known to speak his mind.
He did just that after being alerted to Harley Davidson’s allegiance to popular musician Machine Gun Kelly.
Strickland is a big motorcycle enthusiast but now wants to sell his Harley Davidson bike after they promoted MGK on their social media earlier this week.
The UFC star ranted about his love for bikes but his disdain for the ‘woke’. This put him at a crossroads, not knowing whether to sell his motorcycle and be true to his own beliefs or not.
