Sean Strickland Words Prompt Bets for UFC Houston Main Card

Sean Strickland has been inciting reaction around the globe with his typical choice words, and bettors have reacted by backing the former champ at UFC Fight Night in Houston Saturday February 21. 

Strickland's opponent, Anthony Hernandez, said that he will "torture" Strickland in the octagon after the latter put up an ICE-themed IG post yesterday, but that hasn't dissuaded bettors from backing Strickland.

BetOnline.ag reports that 78% of money taken this week on the Strickland-Hernandez fight is on the trash-talker.

Strickland's odds on Monday were +315 (Hernandez -380), but he's become much less of an underdog following all of his controversial comments.
