“Whoever is managing Strickland’s schedule needs to cancel all his podcast recordings after May 9 because you can’t talk into a mic with a wired shut jaw,” Russian sports journalist Adam Zubayraev posted on X.
That comes after Strickland shared a video on his Instagram of a recent dive weekend he took part in.
“It’s been a fun dive weekend but back to work. Terrorist to fight, belts to be won,” Strickland captioned the post.
