Sean Strickland says MMA tops every sport, takes another shot at soccer

Sean
Strickland recently listed sports in terms of what he considers
masculine.

According to Strickland (31-7), mixed martial arts is the manliest
sport in the world, followed by other combat sports. The two-time

Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight champion believes
the striking arts of kickboxing and boxing follow MMA on the list.
He considers wrestling less masculine than the striking arts but
manlier than all other sports.

Strickland went off on the world’s most popular sport in the
aftermath of the FIFA World Cup final, shaming soccer players for
faking injuries and their dramatic reactions to contact.

“How are you a grown a** man faking being hit? Are there any soccer
players out there? Do you feel no shame when you fake being
injured?”

Furthermore, he sees swimming as the least masculine sport.
Notably, he had hockey, American football, baseball, lacrosse and
tennis ahead of soccer.

Strickland dethroned Khamzat
Chimaev in a massive upset at
UFC 328 this past May to win the middleweight title for the
second time. Chimaev is targeting a rematch, but Nassourdine
Imavov and Dricus Du
Plessis, who has two wins over him, are also in the
running.
