Sean Strickland opened up about his troubled relationship with his father after Chimaev said his father "made him a girl."

He described a pivotal moment at age 17 when he headbutted his father and broke his nose after the father prevented his mother from going to work. Strickland said his father made him a sociopath, which caused more harm than good. He expressed disappointment seeing his father cry on the floor after the confrontation, describing him as a "whining little bitch" instead of the psychopath he had feared his whole life.
