Sean Strickland has been around the block a couple of times. The former UFC champion tells a story about being arrested years ago in South Africa and needing to take a fight.
Sean Strickland Arrested in South Africa
While in South Africa, Sean Strickland was arrested by the police and needed to make some money fast to make bail. The fastest way to make money was to take a fight, but he was actually retired at this point.
In Durban, South Africa at a King of the Cage event in 2010, Strickland took a short-notice fight to make some quick money.
