During an episode of the "TimboSugarShow," Sean O'Malley reflected on sitting in front of Sean Strickland at UFC 290.

"Sean Strickland was sitting behind us at the fights," O'Malley said. "I'm like, 'please don't f****** kill me.' I listened to that pod with Joe [Rogan] and I know he's just craving to kill someone. I'm like, 'please, don't make it me'"

O'Malley started to laugh when he remembered what Strickland was saying throughout the event.

"Just talking the whole fights, saying this f***** up s*** the whole time," O'Malley said. "'Look at that black guy, that black guy's huge, all black guys are huge,' I'm like, 'Jesus, this guy.'"

Strickland has garnered a following thanks to his wild and unforgiving quotes. While he has lost two key fights against Jared Cannonier and Alex Pereira, Strickland believes he deserves a title opportunity. The next UFC middleweight title shot will be going to Dricus du Plessis. As far as what's next for Strickland, it'll be interesting to see who he is matched up against.
