Popular content creator Adin Ross recently placed a call to UFC middleweight Sean Strickland during a broadcast, with fellow personality N3on present in the room. What started as a casual introduction quickly took an uncomfortable turn as Strickland launched into a series of controversial remarks about Indian people.
When Ross introduced N3on to Strickland, identifying him as his Indian friend, the fighter immediately responded, “Oh, dude, you’re gonna bring a f**king Punjabi?” The conversation rapidly deteriorated from there, with Strickland making offensive comments about hygiene and stereotypes.
Strickland says, “Tell that motherf**ker to shower before he comes.” N3on attempted to defend himself and his heritage, saying, “Stop Indian… Sean, don’t do that, bro. Stop Indian hate. We smell great, bro. It’s an amazing country. You should come down.”
Ross tried to steer the discussion toward more neutral territory, mentioning his newfound appreciation for curry, but N3on pushed back: “We’re more than just curry. We’re f**king humans, man.”
Strickland continued with his inflammatory remarks, bringing up what he claimed was a festival involving cow waste. He says, “You guys have a festival where you throw cows**t at each other.”
Neon attempted to dismiss this as artificial intelligence-generated misinformation, saying, “That’s not real. That’s AI. Sora AI. That’s AI. It’s not real.”
Despite the tension, Neon maintained his composure and continued promoting his country: “Come to India. You’ll love it. They got the best-looking women. They got the best food.”
While Ross appeared somewhat uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation, he didn’t forcefully shut down Strickland’s comments. Near the end of the call, N3on suggested he might actually visit India to “prove everyone wrong,” with Ross quickly proposing that Strickland join him on such a trip.
