Video – UFC 312 star Sean Strickland throws kids off pier in Sydney ahead of title fight

Ahead of his return tonight at UFC 312, incoming title challenger, Sean Strickland appears to be practising his wrestling — offensively, in fact — with footage emerging of the polarizing star throwing multiple kids off a pier into the water in Sydney as he prepares to take on Dricus du Plessis.

Strickland, the current number one ranked middleweight contender and a former undisputed titleholder, returns to action tonight for the first time since last summer, taking on South African star, du Plessis in a rematch of their first pairing back in January of last year.
