Background

Strickland grew up in Corona, California in a household with a physically and mentally abusive father.[8][5] Angered by the circumstances at home, Strickland got kicked out of every school he attended.[5] Strickland began training in mixed martial arts at the age of 14 and turned professional at the age of 16.[2]

Mixed martial arts career

King of the Cage

Strickland made his professional debut in 2008 for the King of the Cage promotion and compiled an undefeated record of 9–0 before facing Josh Bryant in a fight for the King of the Cage Middleweight Championship at KOTC: Unification on December 9, 2012. Strickland won via split decision, and then successfully defended his title three times before being signed by the UFC.
