Despite this, he is now on the receiving end. One Twitter user, WonderbreadMMA, posted two pictures of Sean Strickland when he was younger and had hair. The Middleweight fighter even had long hair. Needless to say, fans had a field day.
One sharp Twitter user was quick to notice that the picture of Strickland with long hair was a spitting image of the famous ‘90s band Creed’s lead singer, Scott Stapp. And if we’re being honest, it’s hard to argue against the comparison. There were also several other hilarious comparisons in the replies.

Sean Strickland and his controversial social media
Strickland is no stranger to trolling on social media. The American middleweight has often found himself in hot water for the comments he has made. And while he is the same in press conferences and in interviews, and fans can expect more of the same ahead of UFC Vegas 66, his comments on social media have led to much worse situations.
Famous platforms like Twitter and Instagram have already banned Strickland or restricted his account. In fact, those expecting the fighter to reply to this tweet will not get to see it since Strickland is no longer on Twitter.
Therefore, fans will miss out on what would’ve potentially been an interesting interaction. However, Strickland is the kind of fighter who will dish it out and take it when it’s at him.
What do you make of Sean Strickland’s old photos? Do you see the resemblance to Creed’s lead singer Scott Stapp?
