Sean Strickland recently got fans backing his reaction to Selena Gomez shedding tears for the people getting deported under Donald Trump's immigration policies. Strickland suggested that Mexico take the American pop star back, a reaction that was well received by his fan base.

Robert Whittaker on Sean Strickland offering a stand-and-bang pact to Dricus du Plessis
Robert Whittaker recently shared his reaction to Sean Strickland trying to get Dricus du Plessis to agree to a pact ahead of their title rematch at UFC 312 next month. Strickland is set to face du Plessis in a middleweight title fight on Feb.9 at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
Ahead of their fight, Strickland urged the reigning middleweight king to agree not to engage in any wrestling and keep the fight standing up. In a recent episode of the MMArcade Podcast, Whittaker issued his brutally honest reaction to Strickland's offer and said:
"Yeah, well, go to boxing, dude! You want to stand and bang, switch sports! If your whole argument is like, 'Oh, I want the small gloves, go to bare-knuckle. What are you going to say then? 'I want some gloves!' It's MMA, and I think the whole reason, like, the fights are so exciting is because there's multiple paths to victory. You don't know what could happen."
