UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland expressed his belief that most mixed martial arts fans do not like women's fights.
“I think most people don’t like women’s fighting. If they were broadcast separately from the men's, then no one would watch this crap! It is a fact. There is a big difference between men's and women's fights. “I don’t want to watch two cats fight, I want to see two lions fight,” said Strickland at a press conference.
On the night of January 21, in the main event of UFC 297 in Toronto, Canada, Strickland will defend his belt against Dricus Du Plessis.
