UFC fans are known for their passion. Regardless of where the Ultimate Fighting Championship travels to hold their shows, arenas are packed with rowdy fans. 

Sometimes, fans take things a little bit too far. 

You will see crowd brawls going viral and a vulgar chant or two, but going too far doesn't always have to be harmful. 

Tattoo artist Noah Bissi, based in Montreal, Canada, recently shared one of his latest works. 

A fan walked into the parlor and asked for a portrait of former middleweight champion Sean Strickland, and Bissi delivered. 

It's an interesting choice for a tattoo, but the quality of the work can't be denied. 

Strickland shared his thoughts on the tattoo in the comments section. 

"My man!!!!!!! Bro we gotta link up after a tat like that," Strickland wrote. 

Strickland is riding high after his win over Paulo Costa at UFC 302 on June 1. It was his first bought since losing the middleweight championship to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297 in January. 

In 2023, Strickland won the title with a shocking upset of Israel Adesanya in Sydney, Australia. 

Now that he is back in the win column, Strickland will look to make another run at the 185-pound crown. And, who knows. The next time we see him, he may have some new ink.
