Sean Strickland Left Adin Ross's MMA Event Feeling 'Sick to My Stomach', Darling, That Is a Review
A professional fighter who has absorbed punches from the best middleweights on the planet walked out of Brand Risk feeling worse than after any of them. Per Yahoo Sports, anyway.
Sean Strickland, a man whose entire brand is being unbothered by pain, reportedly told the world he was "sick to my stomach" after attending Adin Ross's MMA event. Per Yahoo Sports. Let that settle.
Darlings, when the guy who stared down Dricus du Plessis thinks your product is stomach-turning, that is not a mixed review. That is a verdict.
And if this feels familiar, it's because Strickland was already publicly chasing a $50K bet from Ross as recently as June 8. Now he shows up in person and leaves feeling worse. We love growth. We love a journey. We do not love whatever is apparently happening inside a Brand Risk MMA cage.
Ross, meanwhile, spent June 21 co-streaming with Andrew Tate and, apparently, the United States Army. A moment. The man allegedly owes Blueface and Johnathan Jamall Porter money, faces a class action lawsuit alongside Drake and Kick over alleged New Jersey gambling fraud, and the content calendar for the week is: Andrew Tate, the military, and whatever this MMA situation was.
Oh, and per GTA BOOM on June 20, Ross is publicly telling fans they should quit their jobs to pursue GTA 6 roleplay server spots on his platform. The audacity of a man whose own legal team is currently involved in the GTA 6 server situation dispensing career advice to civilians. Darling, that is not a life coach. That is a liability.
The Brand Risk MMA product was supposed to be the expansion move, the proof that this was a real promotion and not a content stunt with gloves. Strickland's reaction, per Yahoo Sports, suggests the fighters and the execution did not clear whatever bar he had in mind. He did not elaborate on specifics in the reported quotes, so we will not either. But "sick to my stomach" does not require elaboration.
We wish Adin Ross strength in this trying time of his own making. The scoreboard right now: one nauseated former UFC champion, multiple allegedly unpaid talent, a class action lawsuit, and a co-sign from Andrew Tate. My loves, keep every single receipt.
At this rate, GTA 6 is not his next chapter. It is his escape hatch.
