Sean Strickland has claimed that he could be willing to read a script for UFC promotion – so long as he can get out of filming sessions early.
The divisive former middleweight champion shouldn’t be a fan of the recording sessions which are required to get B-Roll and promotional footage ahead of fights. He feels that his uncensored words aren’t going to get airtime, and that it’s a waste of time unless they tell him exactly what to say.
Who’s the MMA GOAT?
Strickland is returning to motion within the most important event of UFC Houston next month. He faces fellow top five contender Anthony ‘Fluffy’ Hernandez in his first fight since a brutal defeat to Dricus Du Plessis last day out that cost him his second likelihood on the belt.

Sean Strickland explains why he hates filming with the UFC
Sean Strickland became probably the most popular and well-known fighters on the UFC roster together with his unique brand of trash talk and self-promotion. Nonetheless, sponsors and broadcasters are likely not fans of his antics, which could make recording official content difficult.
And taking to Instagram this evening, he shared a video of himself driving to a shoot with the promotion. Within the clip, shared to his thousands and thousands of followers, he declared that he would slightly just read a script and get out quickly than record a string of videos which are essentially unusable.
“I’m on my solution to film with the UFC you guys,” he told his viewers. “And I hate filming with UFC since it’s all f—ing fraudulent, right? It’s like you already know me unedited? They won’t play any of that s—.
“So at the tip of the day it’s like ‘alright UFC, tell me what you wish me to say. I do know you wish content to placed on YouTube or B-Roll, so just just tell me what you wish me to say’. Then I’ll f—ing say it and I can get on with my day.”
