送货员骑Strickland越野摩托冲跳台摔倒视频疯传：Booth称已因此被解雇，发起3500美元众筹
UFC中量级冠军Sean Strickland在社交平台分享的一段视频本周疯传：他让一名正在送货的Amazon司机骑上自己的越野摩托、冲上跳台，司机连人带车重重摔在地上。这名司机Gordon Booth 11月12日接受TMZ采访时说，这段疯传视频已经让他丢了工作，他已在GoFundMe发起众筹，目标3,500美元。
Booth回忆，他当时已跑到路线的尾声、只剩五站，驶入社区时看见有人骑着越野摩托、认出是Strickland，便大喊他的名字。Strickland让他把车开到房前，第一个问题就是问他想不想骑那辆越野摩托。Booth说自己小时候常骑越野摩托，但从没跳过跳台，「老实说，我知道自己落不了地，我就是为了Sean Strickland才跳的」。同为UFC选手的Anthony Hernandez当时也在场；据Sherdog等报道，Hernandez事前曾提醒Strickland，这名司机看上去不会骑。Booth冲上跳台后失控摔倒、摩托压在身上，但没有受重伤，随即起身。Strickland把片段发到Instagram后迅速走红，11月10日被多个格斗账号转发。
Booth说，他供职于一家第三方配送公司，是Amazon方面联系了该公司，公司称在就所谓的财物损坏展开调查。他向老板解释，Strickland与Hernandez都告诉过他，自己离开后他们还在骑那辆车、车子「百分之百没问题」，但他还是被解雇了，「看来我得再找一份工作了」。据Sportskeeda报道，Amazon尚未就此事公开发表评论，也未证实Booth的说法。
Booth随后以「The Amazon Driver Dirt Bike Fall Victim」为题在GoFundMe发起众筹。他在页面上写道，自己眼下要一边承担各项开支、一边保证孩子所需，儿子的生日也快到了，「我不是要任何人替我解决所有问题，只是想在困难时期有人拉一把」。据Bloody Elbow报道，众筹目标为3,500美元，用于房租、账单与儿子的生日开支，页面上线不到一天时已募得310美元、共9人捐款。
Delivery Driver in Viral Strickland Dirt-Bike Ramp Crash Says He Was Fired, Launches $3,500 GoFundMe
A video shared on social media by UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland went viral this week: he let an Amazon delivery driver ride his dirt bike up a ramp, and the driver crashed hard, bike and all, onto the ground. The driver, Gordon Booth, told TMZ on November 12 that the viral moment has cost him his job, and that he has launched a GoFundMe with a $3,500 target.
Booth recalled that he was near the end of his route, with five stops left, when he pulled into the neighborhood, saw someone on a dirt bike and recognized Strickland, so he started shouting his name. Strickland told him to pull up to the house, and the first thing he asked was whether Booth wanted to ride the dirt bike. Booth said he rode dirt bikes all the time as a kid but had never done a ramp: "I knew I wasn't going to land, honestly. I was doing it for Sean Strickland." Fellow UFC fighter Anthony Hernandez was also present; according to Sherdog and other outlets, Hernandez had warned Strickland beforehand that the driver did not look able to ride. Booth flew off the ramp, lost control and went down with the bike on top of him, but escaped serious injury and got back up. After Strickland posted the clip to Instagram, it spread quickly and was reposted by multiple MMA accounts on November 10.
Booth said he works for a third-party delivery company, and that Amazon contacted the company, which said it was investigating alleged property damage. He told his boss that Strickland and Hernandez had both said they were riding the bike right after he left and that it was "100 percent okay," but he was fired anyway: "I've got to find another job, I guess." According to Sportskeeda, Amazon has not commented publicly on the incident and has not confirmed Booth's account.
Booth then launched a GoFundMe titled "The Amazon Driver Dirt Bike Fall Victim." On the page he wrote that he is trying to stay on top of his financial responsibilities while making sure his kid has what he needs, with his son's birthday coming up: "I'm not asking anyone to solve all my problems. I'm simply asking for a helping hand during a difficult time." According to Bloody Elbow, the $3,500 target is intended to cover rent, bills and his son's birthday expenses, and the page had raised $310 from nine donors less than a day after launching.
