Strickland posts bruised face photo: 'Best job in the world'

Hours after his grueling split decision victory over Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 328, Sean Strickland shared a photo on social media showing his battered face. The image revealed significant facial damage sustained during the five-round championship fight. Strickland captioned the post simply with 'Best job in the world,' displaying his characteristic dry humor and appreciation for his career as a professional fighter. The photo highlighted the physical toll of championship-level MMA competition while Strickland maintained a positive, almost sardonic attitude about the brutal nature of his profession. His visible injuries included what appeared to be a broken nose and substantial swelling.
