Yadong Song Responds to Sean Strickland’s Controversial Comments About China

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Yadong Song found Sean Strickland’s recent comments about China to be “baseless.”




Strickland is notorious for his unhinged takes on a wide range of topics, so it did not come as surprise to most fight fans when Strickland randomly suggested that China’s biggest exports are plastic and COVID-19.

China's biggest exports..... Plastic and Covid....

Song seemingly took offense at Strickland’s comments about his country, which according to him are “baseless stereotypes.”

“Hey champ, I respect your skills as a fighter, but we should be talking facts, not baseless stereotypes,” Song wrote on X. “As athletes, we ought to focus on what we know best and avoid making unfounded comments. Let’s set a good example, alright?”

Song is currently 10-2-1 in the UFC with his only losses coming against Kyler Phillips and Cory Sandhagen. “Kung Fu Kid” will take a two-fight winning streak into a matchup with former champ Petr Yan at UFC 299 on March 9 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

That was a mighty polite way to say stfu to Sean by Ya Little Ding Dong.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Ya Dong doesn’t want to go Ya Missing
So he has to shill 4 Big China

 

[BroRogan]

You have to agree with Strickland here!

It does but that’s offensive to left wingers and racist it’s racist to state facts unless it’s about whites. Sean should be canceled

man why do you guys all sound the same

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

man why do you guys all sound the same

I’m a left winger and it’s offensive to me so we shouldn’t use facts because they are mean and hurt people

 

[2tanks]

Classy reply by Song.
No point in lowering yourself to the level of an ignorant mouth breather like Sean.

C-19 was a result of animal agriculture - like virtually every viral pandemic in history. The Spanish flu came from a hog farm in Kansas. Is America responsible for the 50 million people killed by the Spanish Flu??

 

[fortheo]

At least this is an exchange that is unlikely to result in sean crying, so that's a step in the right direction for Sean.

 

[blackheart]

they're NPCs all repeating the exact same 3 talking points. You take a chud from California or a chud from Texas - they all believe and repeat the exact same 3-5 talking points.

Sounds like us left wingers. We all sound the same

You're the type of dummy that probably thinks "left winger" means liberal. If you were familiar with leftist spaces, at all, the one thing you would know about us is that all we do is fight and splinter into different groups over the tiniest differences in opinion. That isn't the same for the right. You guys agree on virtually everything "hurr durr wokeness" "hurr durr china" "hurr durrr stolen election".

I’m a liberal who leans left so idk what you’re talking about. Liberalism is still left. For you to get offended about what I said proves it to be true. My comment sums it up how you felt lmao

 

[POWER SLAP WORLD CHAMPION]

C-19 was a result of animal agriculture

Thank you for the laugh!

His proof you ask? The communist Chinese government!<Lmaoo>

You live in the most powerful, murderous, and genocidal nation in the history of the human race. Who's shilling for what?

 

[EndlessCritic]

Very insensitive by Sean. He should have included IP theft.
