\nStrickland<\/a> drew fuel from his anger toward Anthony
\nHernandez<\/a>\u2019s coach, Jim West. <\/p>\n
\nUFC Houston<\/a> on Saturday. Unlike most of his other opponents,
\nStrickland couldn\u2019t find a reason to hate Hernandez. Strickland
\nthen directed his anger towards Hernandez\u2019s coach, West. It
\ncertainly paid off as Strickland looked in his element en route to
\na third-round stoppage win over \u201cFluffy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAspen
\nLadd<\/a>. Strickland claims Ladd was still a minor when West
\nstarted grooming her. However, Strickland\u2019s tirade was cut short<\/a> as his mic was muted, and the press
\nconference abruptly ended.<\/p>\nOn a Tirade<\/h2>\n
\nbeat me and have a victory over me,\u201d Strickland said. \u201cSo my
\nmotivation was thinking about Jim West. I f\u2014-ing hate that guy. I
\nlove \u2018Fluffy,\u2019 he\u2019s a standup guy. Is there anybody that\u2019s 35
\naround here? Can you picture being 35 years old and meeting a sweet
\nlittle Aspen Ladd<\/a>
\nand saying, \u2018I\u2019m gonna marry her when she turns 18.\u2019 That\u2019s what
\nf\u2014-ing Jim West did. So whenever I was in that cage and me and
\n\u2018Fluffy\u2019 were locked in and I\u2019m looking at Jim West, I was like,
\n\u2018F\u2014k this guy, I\u2019m not letting this mothe\u2014-r\u2026 I wasn\u2019t fighting
\n\u2018Fluffy,\u2019 I was fighting Jim West.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\npreviously accused Pat Barry<\/a> of
\ngrooming former UFC strawweight champion Rose
\nNamajunas<\/a>. Meanwhile, West has previously faced backlash for
\naggressively cornering<\/a> his partner, Ladd. Ladd
\nreturned to the Octagon after nearly a two-year hiatus in 2021
\nagainst Norma
\nDumont<\/a>. West aggressively slammed Ladd for inactivity in
\nbetween rounds, which was even demmed abusive<\/a> by some. West subsequently issued an
\napology for his unprofessional cornering. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
