In the first five-round fight of his UFC career, Strickland used his jab to piece up Hall over the course of 25 minutes, while also mixing up power strikes and takedowns to seal the deal and pick up the biggest win of his career. With five straight victories, including a perfect 4-0 record in the UFC middleweight division, it is clear that Strickland is one of the best fighters in the world at his weight class, and he hopes to continue fighting bigger and better opponents. But for Strickland, what really makes him happy more than anything is just going in the Octagon and hurting people.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the media following UFC Vegas 33, Strickland admitted that his ultimate dream would be to hurt someone so bad in the fight that they weren&#8217;t able to make it out alive.<\/p>\n<p id=\"pTSCdL\">&#8220;If you like to f*cking hurt people, you\u2019re in the right sport.

I don\u2019t know if it would make me liable, I might have to say I\u2019m sorry if the cops came, but I would own that sh*t. Own it.
