Sean
Strickland lashed out at the influencer community after
attending Adin Ross’ boxing event. 

Ross hosted the
Brand Risk 14 card at the
UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Sunday. The card featured renowned
personalities like musician Ray J, former NFL quarterback Johnny
Manziel, and former NBA players Michael Beasley and Lance
Stephenson. Meanwhile, it also had bizarre matchups like dwarves
fighting each other in MMA. Strickland, fellow UFC fighter Arman
Tsarukyan and UFC head honcho Dana White were in attendance at
the event.

However, Strickland (30-7) regretted attending the event and vented
as soon as it ended. The UFC middleweight champion claims he feels
“less of a man” after being a part of the event.

“I have never been a part of anything so shameful in my life,”
Strickland said on his Instagram Stories. “And I hate myself and I
feel like less of a man after being here. Oh God, why did I agree
to this? I’m sick to my stomach.”

‘I Want It All to Stop’

The involvement of social media influencers in MMA has been growing
with time. Streamers like the Nelk Boys, N3on, Ross, and Nina
Marie-Daniele regularly hang out with UFC elites. White believes
the influencer community will eventually replace traditional MMA
media. Strickland expressed his frustration with the growing
influence of online streamers in general.

“I think what sucks is you have these streamers and they have this
massive following and you just know that they’re the next
generations of Americans,” Strickland said. “It’s so f—-ing sad to
think that the streamer community is gonna inherit America. It’s so
bad. I just want it all to stop.”
