Sean Strickland And Dricus Du Plessis Just Got Into A Brawl In The Crowd At UFC 296

CROWD FIGHT! Gotta love a crowd fight! Especially when it's between a couple UFC Middleweights scheduled to fight next month!

Unfortunately there's not a ton of clear videos of the fight itself/how it all started right now (it's mostly the aftermath/pull-apart), but Joe Rogan said on the broadcast that the UFC had the footage, and if you don't think they'll use that to promote the fight - I've got a bridge to sell you.

As for the brawl itself - I love all of the people at the UFC who have treated me tremendously over the years, but I gotta say: they dropped the ball on this one. How could you sit Dricus Du Plessis just two rows behind Sean Strickland just 24 hours removed from Du Plessis making fun of Strickland's father abusing him as a child?!

Strickland literally spent the day on Twitter talking about how fucked up that was and how much he wanted to headbutt DDP during their faceoff - and he literally said he wished he did....

So let's sit 'em five feet away from each other for the PPV with a little kid in-between em - what could go wrong?!

At least Strickland kindly asked everyone to move before going absolutely apeshit….

Tell ya what - between this and the presser yesterday, UFC 297 has a whoooole lot more buzz around it now. I kinda feel like this fight is gonna be huge now? 

Hopefully nobody got too hurt in the midst of the brawl, because this fight needs to happen, and soon.
