Sean Strickland actually apologized.
It has been a little more than two weeks since former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) interim Lightweight champion Dustin Poirier was arrested in Georgia on Father’s Day after an airport incident that initially resulted in a misdemeanor public drunkenness charge.
Things got worse when police body-camera footage was later released, showing a visibly intoxicated and agitated Poirier threatening to fight police before eventually being taken into custody (details here).
Poirier has since apologized for the incident and opened up in more detail, revealing that he has been dealing with mental health struggles that have been exacerbated since retiring from the sport.
Enter foul-mouthed UFC Middleweight champion Strickland, who initially did not want to hear it.
