Conor McGregor gave a powerful reaction to Sean Strickland momentarily breaking down on Theo Von’s podcast last month

Last month, Strickland made an appearance on Von’s podcast, This Past Weekend. While discussing a variety of topics, the then-UFC middleweight champion showed a side of him that was never seen before.

Strickland opened up and recalled a few incidents from his childhood that severely impacted him and briefly had a breakdown. As the clip of ‘Tarzan’ crying was quick to go viral on the internet, it brought out a reaction from McGregor as well.

Take a look at the video of Sean Strickland below:

The former UFC double champion commented on a post while offering words of encouragement for Strickland. He wrote:

“2 G’z fight on gentlemen, fight on!”

Conor McGregor’s comment

For context, Strickland has always been quite vocal about his traumatic childhood. He had an abusive father, and despite the fact that he has talked about it numerous times, he has never been seen breaking down into tears.
