“Who has never tried Popeyes?!?” – Fans in stitches as Sean Strickland raves about Popeyes chicken

Sean Strickland has certainly made a name for himself as one of the best fighters in the UFC’s Middleweight division, where he’s also a former UFC Middleweight Champion. However, the 34-year-old fighter is equally known for his antics outside the octagon, often saying the most unhinged and outrageous things that leave fans rolling with laughter. Luckily for them, Strickland just delivered another dose of internet gold.

Sean Strickland had been on a hilarious rant for days about how he’s never liked fried chicken and couldn’t understand why some people love it so much. Many fans challenged him to try fried chicken from popular fast-food chains, with Popeyes being the most suggested. So, the fighter finally took the plunge, went to Popeyes, and uploaded a video of himself buying, eating, and loving the chicken - declaring, “I’m a believer now.” The video has since gone viral, leaving the internet in splits.
