Sean Strickland has commented on Josh Hockett's public persona, describing his street interview style as immature for someone over 30. Strickland compared Hockett's behavior to Jake Paul at age 13 and WWE-style sketches, saying it feels like complete acting. While Strickland considers Hockett a friend and acknowledges he's a good person, he suggested Hockett should stop the act and focus on training. However, Strickland conceded that Hockett's approach is working, noting that he's fighting at the White House event. The comments reflect Strickland's preference for authenticity over entertainment-focused self-promotion.
