Middleweight contender Sean Strickland recently shared his thoughts on the betting scandal involving UFC fighter-turned-coach James Krause.
Trending
Strickland admitted that he doesn't know Krause personally, but 'Tarzan' believes that the coach should be ousted if proven guilty. During an interview with MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn, Strickland said:
"I don't know what the f*** happened with Krause. I don't even f***ing know Krause. But if there is any fight-throwing or any bullsh*t, f*** Krause. The f***ing guy should never be allowed to be in the UFC. Now if it's all bullsh*t and it's just some guys being a**holes, then you know, move on, let the guy have a life. But if what they are saying is true and he was throwing fights and changing fights, f***ing give that guy the boot, he don't belong here."

#2. Kevin Holland's coach explains corner stoppage
Kevin Holland suffered a technical knockout loss to Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson at UFC Orlando this past weekend.
Days after the card went down, Holland's manager Oren Hodak told ESPN that the fighter had broken his hand during the fight.
Providing more details on the incident, Holland's coach Bob Perez explained the decision behind the corner stoppage ahead of the fifth round. During an interview with MMA Junkie, Perez stated:
“My primary job there is to protect him. People can die in there, man. I think as fans, we tend to forget that. They can die in there. It could’ve been career-ending or permanent, permanent damage that could’ve been done to his hand. Thankfully, it’s not that bad.”
#1. UFC boss Dana White unveils brand new belt design for his Power Slap League
