Sean Strickland expressed sadness over the death of his 14-year-old dog. The former middleweight champion tweeted that he had been crying for eight hours.

Strickland has previously slammed the notion of being obsessed over dogs. He even claimed that many misplace their priorities in such cases. He noted that being obsessed with dogs is a sign of rethinking life choices.

Strickland tweeted, "My girl watches the TikTok sadly, she keeps showing me Miss Peaches, the Barstool Sports guy’s dog. And I asked my girl, 'Does this man have kids?' No. Let me tell you all something: if you're a grown-ass childless man obsessed about a dog, you gotta rethink your life... rich or poor."

The contrasting viewpoints have triggered reactions. One Reddit user (u/ Chapin_42_) wrote, “Biggest hypocrite in the UFC behind Jon Jones.”
