MVP co-founder, Nakisa Bidarian, was not impressed.
“I got a request today from Sean Strickland,” Badarian told MMA Junkie at the MVP open workouts. “I’ve got to talk to Ronda because he was very derogatory about Ronda and Gina – disrespectful, saying inappropriate things. While we’d love to have him as a UFC champion, and I think he puts on a tremendous act, you can’t disrespect the headliners and then call for free tickets.”
Strickland’s longtime coach, Eric Nicksick, insisted Strickland wanted tickets to support friend and Xtreme Couture training partner Francis Ngannou, who fights fellow UFC veteran Philipe Lins on the “Rousey vs. Carano” main card on Sat. night (May 16) in the “City of Angels.”
“Sure, yeah, he can come,” Rousey said with a laugh. “I’m glad that he has to go through me now. I feel very cool about that. But yeah, sure, come on over. We can convert anyone.”
