The press conference for UFC 297 featuring Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis has concluded, and one of the most viral excerpts out of the conference involves a fan.

Strickland, the newly crowned UFC Middleweight champion, is set to make his maiden title defense against du Plessis in the main event of UFC 297 this Saturday, 20th January at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

The pair have already kindled a grudge rivalry between them, which was elevated with the altercation between them at UFC 296 but ahead of their fight at UFC 297, they have cleared things up.

At the press conference, Strickland opened up regarding the incident with du Plessis.

“It was never f**king personal. You have the c**k Sean O’Malley say some stupid s**t he knows nothing about. I go hard on everybody you guys. You don’t think I deserve a little s**t, bro? I go hard on all you motherf**kers. I’m proud of the motherf**ker. You don’t see me lose character often. This motherf**ker got me there,” he said.

During Strickland’s statement, a fan suddenly rushed to the stage to meet the 185-pound champ and to shake hands with him, but was soon escorted away from “Tarzan” by the security.

“Let’s go. F**king savage. Real talk, me and Dricus, we’re going to try to f**king kill each other for you guys. Dricus, can I get an agreement? To the f**king death,” an exhilarated Strickland continued, following the approach from the fan. [H/T MMA Mania]

Sean Strickland goes off reporter regarding “gay son” remark

Aside from his feats in the Octagon, Strickland often makes headlines for his off-the-cage statements, and the 32-year-old is known to not have any filter on his mouth regarding his statements.

On Wednesday, MMA reporter Alexander Lee asked Strickland about his past comment about having a “gay son” would mean the father has “failed as a man.” Lee then brought up how Toronto possesses a large LGBT community and added that he would not have a problem with having a gay son.

“Well then you’re a weak f***ing man,” Strickland responded. “You’re part of the f***ing problem. You elected Justin Trudeau. When he seized the bank accounts, like you’re just f***ing pathetic. The fact that you have no f***ing backbone and as he shutdown your f***ing country and seized bank accounts, you ask me some stupid s*** like that. Go f*** yourself. Move the f*** on man.” [H/T Fox News]
