Sean Strickland completely lost his cool during UFC 296 and climbed over a seat to jump and fight with Dricus Du Plessis.
The scene is surreal. While Sean Strickland, the middleweight champion, and Dricus Du Plessis are due to face each other on January 20, the two fighters fought during UFC 296. Strickland and Du Plessis heated up in the public, chaining gestures and provocations until until the American pulls the pin, climbs over a seat and throws himself at Du Plessis to start a brawl.
