A UFC fighter has been filmed encouraging an Amazon delivery driver to attempt a dirt bike stunt, only for the worker to come crashing down.
Sean Strickland, a UFC middleweight champion, let the delivery driver take his dirt bike over a small ramp while he and fellow fighter Anthony Hernandez watched.
But the attempt went badly wrong as the driver appeared to lose control while landing and crashed heavily onto the ground, as reported by Need To Know.

Strickland later addressed the incident on X, claiming he had given the driver advice before the jump, including telling him to use second or third gear to avoid flipping backwards.
He also said he had checked the man’s experience before letting him ride, writing: “I asked him like 3 times if he rode and he said yes he jumps lol.”
However, Hernandez had reportedly warned Strickland that the driver could not ride.
Strickland later recalled their exchange, saying: “Fluffy said, ‘No, he can’t ride.’ I thought the guy could ride.”
Hernandez also pointed out that the driver had not put his feet on the foot pegs before attempting the stunt.
He said: “I could tell when he didn’t put his feet on the pegs; that was not gonna be him, bro.”
Strickland, a Vegas native, is no stranger to extreme stunts whilst out of the ring, having been involved in an accident months earlier where an ATV rolled over, with the fighter describing himself as an ‘idiot’ after getting minor injuries.
The UFC fighters video of the delivery drivers stunt was viewed over 2.9m times at time of writing, with 211,000 likes and 2393 comments.
One person said: “That’s why my package never arrived today”
Another person added: “Sean posts the most wild s**t and I’m here for it.”
A user joked: “Evel Knievel walked so this man could deliver.”
One person added: “The fact the guy flipped forward and didn’t crack his head open and die is a miracle.”
