Think about America prior to women voting,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They tried to ban alcohol, I don&#8217;t even drink but I&#8217;m not trying to ban alcohol. So, what you did, man, you let these women come into the workforce, now we make less money, you got kids raising themselves on TikTok, we need to go back to like 1942, maybe 1958 after we f***** up the Germans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We need to put women back in the kitchen, only one man needs to be working, so as a collective man group we need to elect someone that&#8217;s gonna put women back in the kitchen, one man working, raise the wages, and build a f****** wall.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Though it appears Strickland is well-aware of the backlash of his remarks, he continues to make them and cause offence.<\/p>\n<p>Two years ago, he made headlines for admitted he would like to kill someone in the octagon after his win over\u00a0Uriah Hall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If you like to f****** hurt people, you&#8217;re in the right sport, man,&#8217; he said. &#8216;Like, I would love nothing more than to kill somebody in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Nothing more. It would make me super happy. I would own that s***, too. I don&#8217;t know if that made me liable, I might have to say I&#8217;m sorry if the cops came.

But it&#8217;s one of those things where I think more people think like that, and I&#8217;m just the one that says it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I always say that the difference between me and other people. Like, you can watch Dexter, you can watch The Punisher, and you can the movies and you think about killing. But I was on a path to where I was gonna act it out. Like, I was fantasising it, so I had my mum take me to training for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Once you start fantasising enough about it, you start putting yourself in situations to act out the fantasy. And training allowed me an outlet for the fantasy to stop. I would train, I&#8217;d fight, I would train, I&#8217;d fight. But if it wasn&#8217;t for that, I fantasize about it all the time.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Strickland&#8217;s words and actions over the years led to one other UFC fighter saying he doesn&#8217;t want to be on the same card as him, let alone in the same match.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/11\/10\/75288839-12504111-image-a-22_1694425824344.jpg\" height=\"442\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Strickland&#8217;s words led to one other UFC fighter saying he doesn&#8217;t want to be on the same card as him<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/11\/10\/75288827-12504111-image-a-21_1694425805136.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Bantamweight star Sean O&#8217;Malley said in 2021 that he was worried he could be killed by Strickland in a fight<\/p>\n<p>Bantamweight star Sean O&#8217;Malley admitted in 2021 that he was worried he would be murdered by Strickland if they shared a card.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the BroMalley Show podcast, he said: &#8216;Oh, I can&#8217;t get on the Sean Strickland card.
