Sean
Strickland is unhinged with his teammates.
Strickland is known for his controversial takes on gun control. The
former middleweight champion has a large collection of guns and
advises people to carry guns as well. Strickland’s teammate,
Francis
Ngannou, once asked him why he always carries a gun. Strickland
hilariously told him to look at himself in the mirror.

“So Francis asked me once why I carry a gun,” Strickland said on
MVP Uncut. “I told him, ‘Look in the
mirror.’”
Ngannou, the former
UFC heavyweight champ, certainly cuts an intimidating figure.
However, Strickland has other reasons to carry a gun. Strickland
was once seen holding a domestic abuse suspect at gunpoint outside
his home in Las Vegas. Strickland also found himself on the wrong
end of a gun during a road rage incident.
