In a recent episode of "This Past Weekend," host Theo Von sits down with UFC middleweight sensation, Sean Strickland, in an interview that unveils layers of the fighter never seen before. Known for his unapologetic rawness inside the octagon and out, Strickland opens up to Theo in a way he never has, discussing the traumas of his past and the battles he's faced outside the ring.
Sean Strickland, a fighter as notorious for his unfiltered comments as his aggressive fighting style, takes a different kind of fight in this interview - a battle of vulnerability. From the hardships that shaped his early life to the mental and emotional toll of climbing the ranks in one of the world's most brutal sports, Strickland shares insights into what it takes to keep moving forward when life seems determined to knock you down.
Theo Von, with his unique blend of humour and empathy, navigates this conversation through the highs and lows of Strickland's life, exploring the impact of childhood trauma, the pressures of public scrutiny, and the personal victories that don't come with belts. This episode is not just about fighting; it's about overcoming, surviving, and the raw truth of human resilience.
Listeners will leave this episode with a newfound respect for the man behind the fighter, understanding the depths of struggle and the peaks of triumph in the life of someone who battles both in and out of the octagon.
I wanted to chat about my personal takeaways in regards to self development and mental health, and overcoming trauma using humour and exercise.
