MMA is one of the biggest combat sports in the world, with UFC at its forefront. This gravitates many fighters with unique skills and personalities towards it. While some fighters refrain from sharing any personal details, some go all out in their stories.
UFC middleweight Sean Strickland seems to fall into the second category. Besides his impressive performance inside the octagon, he seems to entertain his fans outside the ring with his humor and outlandish claims.

Most fighters don’t share what goes down in a gym with the public, but Sean seems to think differently. Recently, a fan asked ‘Tarzan’ whether he had fought UFC icon, Tony Ferguson. Instead of keeping the answer short with just a yes or no, he shared a story of Raymond Daniel knocking out Tony.
Strickland tweeted, “Yeah, he’s a cunt lol! Raymond Daniel’s pulled a head kick once and Tony got mad about it because he didn’t throw it hard, so the next kick he knocked Tony out”
