Sean Strickland’s Controversial Comments Target Kamala Harris Supporters and LGBTQ+ Policies

Surprise! Sean Strickland has controversial opinions on both Kamala Harris and the LGBTQ community.

We know, you’re just as shocked as we are.

As we close in on election night in America, everyone is making the final push to share their generally unwanted opinions on the policies of the current Vice President and ex-POTUS Donald Trump who will look to once again move into the White House after being evicted by the masses in 2020.

True to his outspoken reputation, ‘Tarzan’ made yet another over-the-top claim on social media that targeted the Democratic presidential nominee, her running mate, and the transgender community.

“Imagine voting for commie Kamala and a tampon tim and having to explain the world to your kids ‘Well son thanks to me have tampons in the boys bathroom’ ‘Well daughter thanks to me you will be looking a d*cks in the girls locker room’ Y’all gotta live with that shame forever,” Strickland wrote on X.

At this rate, Strickland could probably produce a book made up of all his unhinged posts and sell it to some of his most staunch supporters. In today’s political climate, it would probably end up becoming a New York Times bestseller.

Sean Strickland reminds Khamzat Chimaev who’s next in line

Of course, seeing ’45’ retake the presidential throne isn’t the only thing weighing on Sean Strickland’s mind these days.

Earlier this year, UFC CEO Dana White confirmed that ‘Tarzan’ would be the next man in line to challenge reigning middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis. However, that may no longer be the case after Khamzat Chimaev scored a stunning first-round submission victory over Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi.

Daniel Cormier recently noted on his YouTube channel that Mick Maynard, one-half of the UFC’s matchmaking team, immediately jumped out of his chair following Chimaev’s win over Whittaker and began speaking with Dana White and senior vice president of talent relations, Sean Shelby.

“[Chimaev] took [Whittaker] down, choked him, and broke his jaw. Broke his jaw with a squeeze from a rear naked choke. It was nuts to see him do that to a guy that once again was [one of the guys] in the generation before him… If you’re Sean Strickland, that result worries you because Mick Maynard sitting right next to me jumps up runs to Dana [White] and they start talking to Hunter [Campbell],” Cormier said. “Then Dana immediately runs over to Chimaev and talks to him. That’s scary to a guy that’s considered the No. 1 contender” (h/t Sportskeeda).

Could the UFC already be conspiring to give Strickland’s spot to Chimaev?

Not if ‘Tarzan’ has anything to say about it.

Understand one thing…. I am next in line….. Its been said, its been written… January/February me and @dricusduplessis are scrapping Go back to Chechnya and wait a few months….. wait.. sorry UAE… you’re not allowed in Chechnya…But hey crypto scams while you wait,” Strickland wrote amid the speculation.

Sounds like someone is getting a little nervous.

Dricus Du Plessis Picks His Preference Between Strickland Rematch Or Chimaev

Since his submission win over Israel Adesanya in August, it’s looked like Dricus Du Plessis’ next defense of his middleweight title would be against a former foe. Sean Strickland has stuck to his guns that he’s the next in line for the title despite the actions of other contenders. The former champion was beaten by […]

The former champion was beaten by Du Plessis in January where he lost the belt via a split decision, rebounding with a win over Paulo Costa at UFC 302. Strickland getting his rematch looked like it was on the cards for early next year until the aftermath of UFC 308 this past weekend.

In the co-main event, Khamzat Chimaev submitted former champion Robert Whittaker in the first round to maintain his undefeated record and earn his biggest win to date. As a result, “Borz” has shot up the middleweight rankings, climbing ten places. When you look back at both men’s performances, it’s clear to see who the fans are more excited in seeing challenge Du Plessis next time out.

During a recent interview with Radioraps, the 185-pound king gave his thoughts on the current situation, stating which fight interests him more at this moment in time. Considering that he’s beaten Strickland before and Chimaev is one of the most talked about fighters in the world right now, his decision was an easy one.

“I think we always knew that between Rob and Khamzat, if there was going to be something exceptional that happens, there might be a change in the title fight. We have no clarity on that but as a fan of the sport and as the middleweight champion of the world, that’s a fight that gets me more excited. You know, taking somebody’s 0.

“I’ve beaten Strickland before and I know I’ll beat him again so now getting that Khamzat fight, that gets me excited. I think the whole world, the fans want to see it. The fans ultimately pay to watch the fights so the fight the world thinks is the best next fight, that’s what I want. So yeah, I think the Khamzat fight is 100% what I want, the UFC is going to do what they’re going to do.”

Sean Strickland Puts Khamzat Chimaev on Notice After Dominant UFC 308 Win

Sean Strickland had a pretty strong message for Khamzat Chimaev after the Chechen’s dominant showing at UFC 308.

Borz’ returned to the Octagon on Saturday night and, much to the surprise of everyone, made relatively quick work of Robert Whittaker in their high-stakes co-main event. Chimaev submitted Whittaker just past the three-and-a-half minute mark of the opening round via a neck crank that left ‘The Reaper’ with a dislocated jaw and some broken teeth.

Chimaev’s eighth-straight win inside the Octagon and 14th overall had many pundits, including longtime play-by-play man Jon Anik, wondering if ‘Borz’ may have unseated Sean Strickland as the next man in line to face reigning middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis.

There’s certainly an argument to be made, but Strickland sure isn’t interested in listening to it. Following UFC 308, ‘Tarzan’ took to social and made it clear that nobody would be cutting in line, including Chimaev.

“Understand one thing…. I am next in line….. Its been said, its been written… January/February me and
@dricusduplessis are scrapping,” Strickland wrote on X. “Go back to Chechnya and wait a few months….. wait.. sorry UAE… you’re not allowed in Chechnya…But hey crypto scams while you wait.”

Could Khamzat Chimaev Takes a title opportunity at welterweight instead of middleweight?

After coming up short on two of the three judges’ scorecards in his middleweight title clash against ‘DDP’ in January, Strickland has been chomping at the bit to get another crack at the South African. By all accounts, he earned his shot with a win over Paulo Costa at UFC 302 over the summer.

However, the UFC may opt to strike while the iron is hot and give Khamzat Chimaev his long-awaited title opportunity. Or perhaps the promotion will attempt to satiate ‘Borz’ with a shot at the welterweight title, once Belal Muhammad settles some business with unbeaten finisher Shavkat Rakhmonov.

Did Chimaev do enough to take the spot Strickland has already been promised?

Age Gap Controversy: Rose Namajunas and Pat Barry’s Polarizing Relationship and Sean Strickland’s Accusations

Former UFC champion Rose Namajunas has had a controversial relationship with her coach Pat Barry. The MMA community has…

Former UFC champion Rose Namajunas has had a controversial relationship with her coach Pat Barry. The MMA community has taken notice and was even called out by Sean Strickland. Ahead of her fight this weekend, let’s take a look at this.

Age Issues: Rose Namajunas and Pat Barry

Rose Namajunas, a 32-year-old two-time UFC women’s strawweight champion, is engaged to Pat Barry, a 45-year-old former UFC heavyweight fighter. Their relationship has been a source of controversy in the MMA community due to their 13-year age gap and the fact that they allegedly met when Namajunas was only 14 or 15 years old.

The controversy has been fueled by accusations of grooming, with UFC middleweight challenger Sean Strickland being particularly vocal in his criticism. According to fellow fighter Chris Curtis, Strickland confronted Namajunas and Barry about their relationship during a bus ride to a UFC event. Curtis recounted that Strickland persistently questioned the couple about Namajunas’ age when they first met, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone on the bus.

‘Action Man’ Chris Curtis explained:

“It was my debut fight, we were on the bus and Rose and Pat are there. And Sean just immediately starts going in and it just doesn’t stop. And we’re on the way to the venue and I’m like, ‘Bro, I’m in my own head, they are in their own head.’ She lost that fight and that’s the one they blamed you for, right?… In all fairness I’m with Rose on this one. We are on our way to the f***ing thing and Sean is like, ‘So how old was she?’”

In response to the controversy, Pat Barry has attempted to clarify the situation. In an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Barry explained that there had been a misunderstanding about when he and Rose Namajunas actually met. He stated that Namajunas had initially joined Roufusport gym at age 14, left for a few years, and then returned to pursue her MMA career. Barry and Namajunas began dating when she was 18 and him 31.

According to Pat Barry:

“This whole Sean Strickland thing that is all over the place everywhere. Years ago, Rose did an interview and said ‘I joined Rufussport when I was 14 years ago, and then I left Rufussport for a few years. Then I came back to Rufussport, to pursue my MMA career, and that’s where I met my fiancee Pat Barry.’ When the guy wrote the interview up, he wrote ‘Rose Namajunas joined Rufussport when she was 14 years old where she met her fiance Pat Barry, when she was 14 years old.’”

Mutual friend Matt Mitrione attempted to explain it was okay as they met earlier but didn’t begin dating until she was 18, which matches accusations, from Sean Strickland, of grooming.

Khamzat Chimaev Fires Back at Sean Strickland: ‘I Tapped Him Out in Training’

Khamzat Chimaev claims he tapped out Sean Strickland multiple times during their training sessions. On Saturday, ‘Borz’ will return…

Khamzat Chimaev claims he tapped out Sean Strickland multiple times during their training sessions.

On Saturday, ‘Borz’ will return to the Octagon for the first time in a year when he meets former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi.

With a win, Chimaev could earn himself a shot at the division’s top prize—once reigning titleholder Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland settle a bit of business first.

Ahead of Chimaev’s upcoming clash with ‘The Reaper,’ Strickland made some disparaging remarks about the unbeaten UFC star, much of it surrounding Chimaev’s controversial relationship with Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov.

Though Chimaev has largely denied any issues with entering the United States, it has been long-rumored that his friendship with Kadyrov has kept him from competing stateside over the last couple of years.

Strickland also took a dig at Chimaev over a cryptocurrency scam ‘Borz’ was linked to earlier this year.

Khamzat Chimaev snaps back at ‘Tarzan’

Responding to Strickland’s rant, Chimaev made it clear that he has no beef with Strickland and even commended his work ethic in the gym. Of course, ‘Borz’ also mentioned that he repeatedly forced ‘Tarzan’ to tap out during their training sessions.

“Yeah, we sparred with him and trained with the guy.” Chimaev told Michael Bisping. “I don’t know. He’s been good when we’ve been in the gym, when I go back to Sweden he starts to tweet and do some things. He didn’t like when I said that I tapped him out [in training]. Yeah, [I tapped him out] many times bro.”

“[I got him with] chokes, and many other things. He’s good, he trains good, he’s a good fighter you know? Tough guy, tough dude. But, what I said are the things everyone see in the gym. Just ask his coach” (h/t BJPenn.com).

If Strickland reclaims the middleweight title in his yet-to-be-announced rematch against Dricus Du Plessis and Chimaev comes out on top against Whittaker this weekend, perhaps we could see the two middleweight warriors hash things out on MMA’s biggest stage in 2025.

Nina Drama Leaks Funny DM Exchange with Sean Strickland About Barefoot UFC Vegas 98 Moment

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland cornered one of his teammates without any shoes at UFC Vegas 98 on Saturday.

Strickland helped guide UFC heavyweight Sean Sharaf in the talented brawler’s promotional debut on Saturday in Las Vegas. Sharaf took a fight with Junior Tafa on days’ notice and despite an exciting start, lost by second-round TKO.

Strickland, one of Sharaf’s Xtreme Couture teammates, was a key part of the heavyweight’s rushed fight preparation. Fight fans and broadcast viewers could hear and see Strickland guiding Sharaf in between Rounds 1 and 2.

After Nina noticed Strickland without shoes or socks on for his UFC cornering, the social media influencer shared a humorous exchange with him over DMs.

Strickland hasn’t fought since a win over former UFC title challenger Paulo Costa in June. He’s likely next for UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis; who defended the belt against Israel Adesanya at UFC 305.

Strickland lost to du Plessis at UFC 297 by split decision after pulling off a mammoth title fight upset last year. Despite entering UFC 293 as a significant underdog, he pitched a shutout against Adesanya to earn the world title.

While Strickland is known for his controversial moments outside of the cage, his interviews with Nina have shown a comedic sign to the brash UFC star. His sitdowns with Nina are amongst the highest-viewed media appearances of his UFC career.

Strickland doesn’t express self-humor very often; a side that Nina has successfully showcased.
