UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar, who was responsible for popularizing the American mixed martial arts promotion, passed away last Thursday after presumed cardiac issues.
Once the UFC announced the death of the legendary superstar, the MMA community flocked to social media to pay tribute to ‘The American Psycho’.
However, middleweight contender Sean Strickland is not convinced by the credibility of the tributes and he let fans know that “Stephan Bonnar just died and like my Instagram feed, Google is flooded with pictures of people like, ‘Hey, this is me and Bonnar training, we are buddies we used to hang out back in the day,’ like I’m going to post a picture about him and get double tap likes.”
“He was addicted to opioids…his gym went under during Covid… You fu****g people that, like, after he died you post pictures of him in support and all this? Like when this man was losing his sh*t where were you? And I’m not saying you had to be there for him. But you weren’t there for him, then don’t be there for him now because now he doesn’t need it.”
