As for his MMA career, Strickland fought for the middleweight title in a rematch against Dricus du Plessis at UFC 312 in February at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. He lost the bout via lopsided unanimous decision, a performance that received heavy criticism from the MMA community.
Sean Strickland revealed why he has developed a friendly relationship with Nina-Marie Daniele
In his X post last year, Sean Strickland explained why he gets along with Nina-Marie Daniele, emphasizing that her interviews differ from the usual MMA-focused ones.
Strickland praised Daniele's ability to cover a variety of topics, allowing fighters to showcase their personalities beyond just their careers in the octagon. He wrote:
"The first interview I did with her she didn't ask me one question about MMA and we clicked. I got tired of the same repetitive questions... This is why @ninamdrama is successful. MMA journalism is dead. I want to fight for the belt.. done. No interview! The UFC strips the identity of their fighters so they're easy to replace. Nina gives fighters a spotlight to be more than just a logo.”
