MMA coach discusses whether there is a dilemma working with Belal Muhammad due to beef with Sean Strickland

An MMA coach recently discussed whether there is a dilemma working with Belal Muhammad due to his beef with Sean Strickland.

'Tarzan' and 'Remember the Name' have been at odds for quite some time, which has been well documented through their exchanges on social media. The reigning welterweight champion has even expressed interest in moving up to 185 pounds just so he could fight Strickland in the octagon.

During his appearance on Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson's JAXXON PODCAST, Xtreme Couture coach Eric Nicksick explained how he remains close with both fighters.

Nicksick mentioned that the animosity is between Strickland and Muhammad and has nothing to do with him. But, the 45-year-old noted that he might feel otherwise if the beef didn't stem from social media. He said:

"Belal [Muhammad] and Sean [Strickland] hate each other...Bro, Sean's beefs aren't my beefs. I've been friends with Belal for a long time. If I didn't get along with all the people that Sean can't get along with, I wouldn't have a lot of fu**ing friends. Sean is my boy. Now if Sean came to me and he's like, 'Listen, man, like, this dude did x, y, and z'...But their beef is stemmed from something off of Twitter."

Eric Nicksick describes training fighters with different personalities like Sean Strickland

In addition to explaining whether there is any dilemma working with Belal Muhammad, MMA coach Eric Nicksick described how he trains fighters with different personalities like Sean Strickland.

Strickland is known for his unfiltered opinions and intensity during training, which might be different from his teammates. During the aforementioned appearance, Nicksick mentioned that every fighter is different and goes out of his way to communicate with his fighters to get the best out of them:

"I'm pretty even keel, I don't really command much. Like, my ego is not going to try to outshine anybody else's. So, I just get along with a lot of people, I think I show a lot of empathy to your story, I wanna know who you are and what you're about. I only think that helps me become a better coach and how to connect with the fighter."
