Sean
\nStrickland<\/a> doesn\u2019t like Justin
\nGaethje<\/a>\u2019s manager. <\/p>\n

Strickland (30-7) recently launched an unwarranted tirade on
\nGaethje (28-5). The
\nUFC<\/a> middleweight champion claims to like Gaethje, but not his
\nmanager, Ali Abdelaziz. Strickland referenced Abdelaziz\u2019s alleged
\narrest, followed by allegations of snitching. Strickland says he
\nwill never sign up with Abdelaziz\u2019s management, regardless of how
\nlucrative the deal is.<\/p>\n

Strickland Unleashed<\/h2>\n

\u201cLet me tell you why Goythje is a bitch,  and it pains me
\nbecause I like him,\u201d Strickland wrote on X. \u201cHis manager Ali was
\narrested for being a f\u2014-ing terrorist then snitched on his
\nterrorist boys He could offer me a billion dollars to manage me and
\n[I\u2019d] tell him to get f\u2014ed because I’m an American.\u201d

The feud between the two started in the lead-up to Gaethje\u2019s
\nlightweight title win over Ilia
\nTopuria<\/a> earlier this month at
\nUFC White House<\/a>. Strickland was not invited to the event at the
\nWhite House. When a fan suggested boycotting the event as
\nStrickland was not invited, Gaethje strongly opposed the idea of a
\nboycott. That led to a heated exchange between the two fighters on
\nsocial media.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
