Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland shared a scary message via Instagram in which he declared himself mentally unstable.

Strickland who formerly dethroned Israel Adesanya to become the champion was controversially defeated in points following a closely-contested match against South Africa’s Dricus Du Plessis.

Speaking in a video he personally posted on Instagram recently, Strickland said the following:

‘All week I’ve been f*cked up, dude. I’ve been on the Twitter saying crazy sh*t, just f*cking spiraling.

‘I woke up and I told my girl, I was like, “Babe, I feel like I’m a danger to people. Like, I don’t feel like I should be out in the world.” … I have everything; I’m rich, I’m famous, I have everything I ever f*cking wanted, and I am still mentally unwell.

‘I get in these mindsets to where like, I want to burn everything down in the world. Like, I want to have nothing, so I can just f*cking lose it and just take out everything on people.

‘I think that you guys, in a weird way, are like my family. Like, I’ve shared some sh*t with you guys, and you guys have shared some sh*t with me. I feel more connected with my fans than I think most people feel, just because we’ve gone through a lot together.

‘I have everything I want and I still struggle with mental health. My memory is so short that, like, when I go out into this week, I think to myself, like, once I get past it, I think to myself, like “Oh, man, that was a really rough time in my life.”

‘But then when I really think about it, this happens multiple times a month, every month.’

Though Strickland is hunting for a rematch against Du Plessis, it does seem impossible for such fight to take place.

As fans continue calling for Du Plessis versus Adesanya, it seems that Strickland might face either of his former opponents in due time.
