If Sean Strickland does not like someone, he is going to make sure the whole world knows that! One of UFC’s most popular loudmouths, Strickland is never scared to call his foes. For a long time, ‘Tarzan’ has had an ongoing beef with fellow UFC fighter Khalil Rountree. It is clear that the two do not like each other, and neither one of them is holding back.

In a surprising response, Rountree bluntly refused to even acknowledge ‘Tarzan’! He stated that he does not know who Strickland is. “I don’t even know who that is dude. You guys keep asking me this name, I don’t even know this person,” he said.
Ever ready to react, Strickland posted a few stories on his Instagram account, responding to this. In a cheeky response that fans always expect from the 32-year-old, ‘Tarzan’ called his rival a member of a “cult” named Choice Center.
“When you are level 100 at Choice Center tells you to not talk, you listen,” he wrote on in the Instagram story. This was not it, as the UFC 293 headliner shared some pictures from the ‘Choice Center’ leadership group’s Instagram page, and comically related it to Rountree.
