Sean Strickland has taken a dig at Aspen Ladd’s relationship with her head coach Jim West.
Sean Strickland’s Twitter page could serve as material for the Cards Against Humanity game. Whether it’s porn stars, road rage, streetfighting challenges, or homophobia, no topic is off-limits for MMA’s wildman. Thursday, we learned that this includes the personal relationships of his peers.
UFC women’s bantamweight Aspen Ladd’s relationship with her coach Jim West went under public scrutiny last year when West chewed out Ladd between rounds of her loss to Norma Dumont last year at UFC Vegas 40. His tone was considered so harsh that many people spoke out against West’s treatment of Ladd, including Miesha Tate.
Tate said that she was speaking from her own personal experience of what it can be like in a relationship with a coach/trainer and that she can recognize the signs of abuse. Ladd dismissed Tate’s comments as attention-seeking and later said that she’d be willing to fight Tate for free.
There have been no further stories regarding Ladd’s & West’s relationship since West apologized for his conduct in Ladd’s corner last October. Nevertheless, something apparently inspired Strickland to send out the following tweet Thursday.

Sooooooooooo I'm pretty sure @TheAspenLadd is suffering from Stockholm syndrome…….. lmao!!!!!!!! I didn't really care about the corner video but when you add some other facts to the situation it's a little fucking creepy lmao!!!— Sean Strickland (@SStricklandMMA) April 21, 2022

“Sooooooooooo I’m pretty sure @TheAspenLadd is suffering from Stockholm syndrome…….. lmao!!!!!!!!I didn’t really care about the cornervideo but when you add some other facts to the situation it’s a little fucking creepy lmao!!!”
Ladd is coming off a second consecutive loss, this time to Raquel Pennington who defeated Ladd at UFC 273 via unanimous decision. This made for the third defeat in four fights for the 27-year-old.
It’s unclear if there is something Strickland is privy to that led him to issue this tweet or if it’s just a simple case of “Strickland gonna Strickland.” Based on his mention of “other facts,” it’s fair to deduce that he is implying it’s the former and that he has additional and troubling information about their relationship.
Regardless, Strickland has enough to worry about with his professional life, as he will be taking on rising hype train Alex Pereira this July at UFC 277 in a bout that many believe could serve as a middleweight title eliminator.
