“If we know anything about demons…” – Sean Strickland Reacts To Layla Machado Garry’s ‘Shakespearean English’ Comments

Sean Strickland has some withering words about Layla, wife of fellow UFC fighter Ian Machado Garry.

Ian and Layla have been at the receiving end of some controversial comments made by “Tarzan”, who had called Ian a “cuck”. The Irishman has received much criticism from the MMA community, a lot of which is linked to his wife.

At the peak of the controversies and rumours being spread about them, Layla recently stepped up to clear the air. Taking to Instagram, she addressed and broke down the lies, while also bringing up Strickland and dropping some history lessons in Shakespearean literature in the process.

“Step back up, Sean Strickland, a man who’s unlikely to be okay with the Shakespearean English he unwittingly used when calling Ian a cuck. First penned in the story of Othello, the word cuckold refers to the fear of a man who’s been betrayed by his wife. Sean Strickland has been talking an awful lot about Ian Gary’s wife. I’ve been called a sexual predator, a pedophile, an abuser all by the man who alleges he suffered that exact abuse as a child growing up,” said Layla in the video.

“In the Shakespearean classic, Iago tells Othello about Desdemona’s adultery and he blindly believes the rumors. It’s serendipity and not merely coincidental that Iago was lying. There was no truth to the story at all. Othello, like the crowd at UFC 298, was cruelly misled by Iago’s jealousy and insecurities. Othello was never the cuckold he was called. His wife was never an adulteress. And notably, when the lies were exposed, Iago was taken away to be tortured and killed. Thank you, Shakespeare,” she added.

Sean Strickland issues his response to Layla

It was quite expected that Strickland would fire back, and the former middleweight champ, known for his candid ways of expressions, took to social media to respond to Layla’s comments.

“Alright, you talk about me, I’ll give what you want, attention,” said Strickland in a video he shared on his socials. “I don’t want to call you by your name because if we know anything about demons, the moment you start using their name it gives them power and that’s all you want right, power and attention. This is why you talk about me, when you post a picture and you get those fake f*****g plastic titties in that tiny little dress and you realize, I’m an old lady, nobody wants to see me half naked in a dress. You think to yourself, how can I get the attention that I want? How can I get what I want? You talk about me, you bring my f*****g name up.”

“You’ve never done anything; you’ve never accomplished anything. The only thing that you’ve done is to seduce famous men. Let me tell you why you are such a despicable person. Everybody is gone and have forgotten about this, we’ve accepted you as disgusting as that may seem and you bring this back up and tarnish your husband’s name just because that demon inside you wants attention,” he added.
