The former President and the outspoken UFC fighter posed for a photo, with Trump humorously adopting a boxing stance and Strickland responding with a playful salute, referring to Trump as a "legend."
This jovial interaction followed Trump's significant triumph in the Nevada caucus, where he secured over 97 percent of the vote. In his victory speech, Trump acknowledged Strickland's prowess, stating, "If you like to fight, if you want to fight, you can fight this guy. He’s available, but it’s not going to last long, you won’t do very well. Sean Strickland. You don’t want to fight him. Where’s Sean? He’s a nasty looking guy. Look at those ears, would you look at those ears? I looked at him, I said I want no part of him. Thank you very much Sean, we appreciate it.”
