UFC Star Says He Would Love To Kill Somebody In A Fight: "It Would Make Me Super Happy"

UFC breakout star Sean Strickland controversially says he 'would love' to kill somebody in a fight following his dominant victory over Uriah Hall.

Strickland battered Hall in the main-event of UFC Vegas 33 last weekend.

The 30-year-old middleweight recorded his fourth consecutive Octagon win, making a statement in his first UFC main-event.

And he continued to make noise, but this time outside of the cage - stating that he 'would love' to kill somebody in a fight.

Speaking after his big win, he said via MMA Fighting: "If you like to f**king hurt people, you're in the right sport.

"I would love nothing more than to kill somebody in the ring. Nothing more. It would make me super happy.

"I would own that sh*t, too. I don't know if it would make me liable, I might have to say I'm sorry if the cops came, but I would own that sh*t. Own it. Be a psychopath, it's f**king fun!"

The win over Hall saw Strickland climb three places in the UFC middleweight rankings.

But he reckons Dana White and Co do NOT want him to become a champion.

"I'm probably the last person they want as the champion," he added.

"'So Sean what do you think about the UFC?' I mean it's cool, they pay me well, it's cool. I'm the last one they probably want to be the champion."

Strickland continued: "There's always going to be another killer. I'm going to fight somebody in a few more months, I might win, I might get knocked out. I just like to fight. I like to make money.

"If I go somewhere with it, great, if not. What did Derrick Lewis say? What was his last quote about if you let me run the division, you guys should all retire? I love Derrick Lewis. He's the man. I'm just happy to be here.

"You should never enjoy fame because it's fake. It's f**king fake.

"There was a point where Uriah Hall was in every interview, every media [member was shouting] 'Uriah Hall!'

"And now it's like he's on the twilight of his career, he's getting older. It's like it's just bullsh*t. I like you guys all, but it's all bullsh*t. You guys know this."
