Things didn't appear to be trending the right way between Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis when the middleweight champ mimicked shooting Du Plessis.
Seconds after that, Strickland leaped over seats to attack Du Plessis – but not before appearing to ask people in between them to get out of the way. That gesture tickled several fighters who reacted to the brief brawl, which resulted in Strickland being escorted out of the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Other fighters questioned why Strickland and Du Plessis were placed so close to each other in the audience. Check out other reactions from fighters below.
