Sean Strickland is renowned for making fun of other people, but on this occasion, Dana White made him the brunt of the joke.
On Saturday night, the polarizing fighter will attempt to reclaim his middleweight throne when he takes on Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 312, inside the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
Unsurprisingly, the American has already made his presence felt in the land down under, with Strickland branded ‘UFC’s biggest imbecile’ as he makes the front page of the local newspaper.
With that in mind, it comes as no major surprise that the spectators in attendance at the press conference, enjoyed White’s reaction to the contender’s new look.

Dana White leaves Australian crowd in stitches with reaction to Sean Strickland’s mustache
Sean Strickland is undeniably a showman, with the 33-year-old regularly entertaining fans with his outrageous trash talk.
On this occasion, the MMA star made an enormous impression with his new mustache.
Of course, the Australian media couldn’t resist asking Dana White a question about the 185-pounder’s new facial hair.
When given the task of rating it out of ten, the UFC President gave Strickland a quick glance, before a wry smile emerged on his face.
Amusingly, rather than commenting, White cracked the perfect joke, choosing to let his silence do the talking.
Changing the topic, he asked another journalist: “What have you got?”
Humored by the reaction, the audience erupted in laughter.

If White mocking his mustache wasn’t bad enough, Strickland had a bit of an accident before flying over to the Southern Hemisphere.
While the fighter has trained extremely hard for his contest with Du Plessis, that doesn’t mean he didn’t interrupt his preparation time every now and again to take some time away from the gym to enjoy himself.
However, his antics nearly ended in disaster, with Strickland dramatically falling off his motorcycle.
