Fans recently reacted after a video surfaced showing Sean Strickland and Nina-Marie Daniele taking part in an "extreme activity" two weeks before Strickland is set to fight Dricus Du Plessis.
Daniele posted a video to her Instagram account showing the two along with a group taking part in a firework fight. To make things even more dangerous, 'Tarzan' was shirtless, putting him at risk of an injury.
The video triggered hilarious fan reactions as they brought up that Dana White likely won't be too happy with his UFC 297 headliner taking part in such activities before the event.
