Sean Strickland compares riding a motorcycle to a "pact with the devil"
Just two days before showing off his new motorcycle on Instagram, Sean Strickland shared his thoughts of riding his new vehicle on X.
In traditional fashion, Strickland made a nonsensical comparison with riding a motorcycle to have relations with "the devil". A part of Strickland's tweet read:
"Riding a motorcycle is like making a pact with the devil"
In his social media message, Strickland implied he regularly goes over 100 miles per hour on his motorcycle.
Since losing the UFC middleweight belt to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297, Strickland has shared his thoughts online ranging from his next opponent to openly admitting mental struggles and continuing to criticize Ian Machado Garry.
Itching to return to the octagon just two months since his last outing, Strickland has put more effort into calling for a rematch with Du Plessis on X. 'Still Knocks' has entertained the option but neither fighter has an upcoming matchup confirmed.
