Sean
Strickland is humble in defeat, at least inside the gym.

Strickland recently trained with fellow
Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Kayla
Harrison at
American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida, where he got a
first-hand feel for the Olympian’s grappling ability.

After training with Strickland, Harrison uploaded a video on her
Instagram Stories, wherein she asked the reigning middleweight
champion: “Who f**ked you up?”

Strickland (31-7) then admitted that Harrison (19-1) made him tap
out multiple times. “[Kayla] tapped me out like 20 times. She did
some Japanese throws I can’t pronounce because I’m American.”

Harrison made her UFC debut in 2024 before dethroning Julianna
Pena to win the bantamweight title in her third promotional
outing. The two-time Olympic gold medallist judoka was scheduled to
defend her title against Amanda
Nunes earlier this year at UFC 324.
However, she was forced to withdraw from the bout due to a neck
injury.

Meanwhile, Strickland won the middleweight title for the second
time with a huge upset win over Khamzat
Chimaev this past May. He is currently recovering from a
shoulder injury, with rematches against Chimaev and Nassourdine
Imavov rumored for his next fight.
