Sean Strickland rented a tractor one week before his upcoming bout to tear down a wall on his property and build a driveway. According to UFC Embedded footage, Strickland stated this had to be done before leaving for New Jersey for his fight. For several years, he had used the space as storage for debris and junk. Strickland explained he cannot sit idle on weekends while others relax, saying the thought of sitting still and wasting life disturbs him. Workers were scheduled to arrive Monday to complete the driveway project. This reflects Strickland's characteristic work ethic and hands-on approach to projects even during fight week.
