Sean Strickland intends to maintain his friendship with Eric Nicksick, the head coach at Xtreme Couture, despite uncertainties about Nicksick continuing to corner him. Strickland's comments followed Nicksick's criticisms during an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, questioning Strickland's aspirations and describing him as 'uninspiring.' In his response, Strickland acknowledged the struggles faced during his fight camp for UFC 312, citing personal issues, including a broken arm and a staph infection. He emphasized that opportunity often arises in challenging circumstances, regardless of the timing.
I like Eric. He's a friend of mine, and he's going to continue to be a friend of mine. Will he probably be in my corner? Probably not.
Opportunity, and not just with fighting, opportunity never comes when it's supposed to. It doesn't matter what the circumstances [are], what the situation is, you will never wake up and say 'you know, today is the perfect day for opportunity.' It will come at the worst f*cking time.
