Sean Strickland, UFC champion, sat down to watch the World Cup final like any fan. He ended up yelling at the TV.
“How can you pretend you’ve been hit when nobody has touched you?”, he bluntly fired off, comparing the drama on the field with the real brutality of the cage.
For someone who makes a living fighting with bare fists, watching a grown man writhe in pain without any contact was unbearable. “This sport sucks”, he declared.
He held nothing back: he called soccer “an excessive piece of trash”. Soccer fans were quick to respond.
