A conversation between Hunter Campbell and Sean Strickland after UFC 328 revealed an interesting exchange about Strickland's persona. Campbell told Strickland, "You're actually a good person, but you pretend to be a damn crazy person." Strickland responded, "When people tell you your whole life that you're bad, it's easier to just be bad."

The conversation was captured by Nina Drama and offers a rare glimpse into Strickland's perspective on his own behavior and public image.
