Sean Strickland’s presser cut short after accusing opponent’s coach of groomingSean Strickland shifted attention from opponent Anthony Hernandez to coach Jim West during the UFC Houston main event, followed by remarks that were cut off when his microphone was muted and the press conference ended.
After defeating “Fluffy,” Strickland accused Jim West of grooming former UFC fighter Aspen Ladd when she was a minor. The UFC press conference audio was muted as Strickland continued, and proceedings concluded abruptly.
Strickland said he motivated himself by directing anger at West rather than Hernandez. He has previously accused Pat Barry of grooming Rose Namajunas. West faced criticism in 2021 for harsh cornering of Ladd and later apologized.
