Sean Strickland has found himself in plenty of fights throughout his career. The UFC Middleweight champ has several accolades to his name, and many people wouldn't dare to challenge Strickland to a fight both in and out of the octagon.

Still, Strickland found himself a challenger while enjoying some time on the ski slopes recently. On Feb. 22, the MMA fighter posted a clip on Instagram of a fight he had with a stranger who wanted to try to pin Strickland down in the snow. The snowboarders surrounding them watched and filmed in suspense as the two wrestled and Strickland put his challenger in a headlock. Try as he might, the opponent wasn't successful.

It was all in good fun, and no one appeared hurt after the fight. Strickland posted video of the encounter on Instagram and remarked "Always a good time on the mountain!"

It's not the first time recently that Strickland has gotten in a fight with non-professional fighters. On Feb. 11, Strickland shared a video of him in the octagon with social media star Sneako. "Absolutely hate influencers," he captioned the clip, calling them a "cancer on society" but he believed "there is a small part of this man [Sneako] seeking redemption."

As for anyone else who thinks they're tough enough to take on Strickland, whether on solid ground or on the snow, the UFC champ had some simple words under his newest video on the slopes: "Y'all need to stop challenging me!"
