The UFC 297 press conference got underway earlier today. While it wasn’t one of the most eventful showings, we witnessed one fan rush onto the stage and head straight toward Sean Strickland . Strickland was doing his best to rile up the crowd ahead of his first title defense on Saturday and it seemingly worked a little too well. As he often is, the middleweight champion was the center of attention with many enjoying watching him spend time in the spotlight . Before being confronted by a fan, Sean Strickland spoke about his relationship with forthcoming opponent Dricus Du Plessis. Despite tempers flaring between the two in the past, there are no personal issues between the two, according to the man himself.
