Sean Strickland doesn’t get staph, he gives it.
Ahead of Strickland’s return to the Octagon for a rematch with reigning middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 312 in Australia, fight fans became concerned that the main event showdown could be in jeopardy after spotting what appeared to be an infection on the former titleholder’s left arm.
Asked point blank if he had an infection during Thursday’s pre-fight press conference in Sydney, Strickland denied the reports and did so in the most Strickland-esque way possible.
