Sean Strickland recently ran into popular internet self-defense instructor Dale Brown while attending an event at The Gun Store in Las Vegas. The UFC's No.7-ranked middleweight toppled Brown while play-fighting.
In a recently uploaded video on Instagram, Strickland can be seen engaging in some light-hearted sparring with the founder of Detroit Urban Survival Training (D.U.S.T.) at the gun store.
As the two men get into it, 'Tarzan' can be seen taking the play-fight a little too seriously as he pushes Brown while faking a knee. This causes the self-defense expert to fall back into a shelf full of guns and topple it over.
Sean Strickland posted the video with a comical caption asking whether he should start a self-defense program himself:
