VIDEO: Sean Strickland Storms Cage, Punches Fighter Who Taunted Him After FURY FC Win

In what can only be described as classic Sean Strickland chaos, the former UFC middleweight champion found himself in an impromptu cage fight on Sunday night—except this time, it wasn’t on the official fight card.

If you thought Strickland saved his violence for sanctioned bouts, think again. The outspoken UFC star just couldn’t help himself when a fighter decided to taunt him after winning a bout at FURY FC.

Chaos Erupts After Fighter Taunts Strickland

Here’s what went down: Strickland was in attendance at FURY FC’s event when fighter Orlando Mendoza defeated Strickland’s training partner. After securing the victory, Mendoza apparently thought it was a brilliant idea to direct some choice words toward the notoriously short-fused former UFC champ.

Bad move, Orlando. Very bad move.

In typical Strickland fashion—the same guy who once admitted he fantasizes about killing people in the cage—he didn’t just yell back. No, that would be too mundane. Instead, “Tarzan” stormed the cage like a man possessed, hopped over the fence, and delivered what appears to be a clean right hand to Mendoza’s face.

The Wild Scene Caught on Video

The entire chaotic scene was caught on video, showing security scrambling to separate the fighters as the crowd erupted. You can see Strickland being pulled away while still trying to get his hands on Mendoza, who probably regretted his post-fight celebration choices.

I’ve seen some wild moments in MMA, but watching a former UFC champion crash a regional promotion to throw hands? That’s next-level drama even for this sport.

Strickland’s History of Confrontation

Let’s be honest—this isn’t exactly shocking behavior from Strickland. The man has built his brand on being MMA’s most unfiltered personality. Whether he’s:

• Sparring with fans at open workouts
• Getting into heated exchanges with reporters
• Sharing his controversial opinions on social media

Strickland has never been one to back down from confrontation. In fact, he seems to seek it out like a heat-seeking missile locked on controversy.

What’s Next for Strickland?

While this incident will certainly generate headlines (and possibly legal consequences), Strickland is still very much an active UFC fighter looking to reclaim his middleweight title after losing it to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297 in January.

The UFC hasn’t commented on this incident yet, but it’s hard to imagine Dana White being too upset—controversial fighters who make headlines tend to sell tickets, and Strickland certainly knows how to create buzz.

The MMA Community Reacts

As you might expect, social media is having a field day with this incident. Some fighters are condemning Strickland’s actions as unprofessional, while others are praising his loyalty to his training partner.

One thing’s for sure—Sean Strickland remains MMA’s most unpredictable wild card. Whether you love him or hate him, you simply can’t ignore him.

Should Fighters Face Consequences for Outside-the-Cage Brawls?

This incident raises interesting questions about fighter conduct outside of sanctioned bouts. While the UFC has its code of conduct, incidents like this exist in a gray area that often results in little more than a stern talking-to from UFC brass.

What do you think? Should Strickland face consequences for this cage invasion, or is this just part of the wild world of MMA that makes the sport so captivating? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
