“What kind of an a**hole sits Strickland next to du Plessis? This a**hole, that’s who,” he said at the UFC 296 post-fight press conference.

“I do every seating assignment every week. How f***ing stupid is that?
“I mean, seriously. I don’t know what humans you can sit Strickland next to, but definitely not du Plessis. I don’t know how I missed that.
“It’s my job to make sure that stuff doesn’t happen. If I wasn’t an a**hole those two wouldn’t have been sitting next to each other. It blows my mind that I let that slip.”
