UFC middleweight Sean Strickland is back in the headlines after a recent controversial tweet about the topic of homosexuality.

Strickland is scheduled to return to the UFC octagon on Feb. 6 against Jack Hermansson, in a pivotal middleweight matchup. He was originally slated to face former middleweight champ, Luke Rockhold, earlier this year before Rockhold pulled out due to an injury.

While Strickland has impressed the masses with his skills inside the octagon during his five-fight winning streak, he’s rubbed some fans the wrong way with his controversial actions outside of it. During a recent tweet, Strickland answered a fan’s question about how he would react if he found out his son was a homosexual.

“If I had a gay son I would think I failed as a man to create such weakness,” Strickland said. “If I had a whore for a daughter, I’d think she just wanted to be like her Dad.”

Sean Strickland Continues To Raise Eyebrows

This isn’t the first time that Strickland has had something controversial to say. After his latest win over Uriah Hall, he alluded to his desire to kill someone in the cage and that committing murder in an MMA fight wouldn’t concern him.

Strickland also recently was involved in a road rage incident which he shared on his Instagram, in which he threatened a nearby driver and challenged him to a fight.

Despite his controversial antics, Strickland remains one of the brightest prospects at 185 pounds. He’s won five fights in a row over the likes of Hall, Brendan Allen, and Krzysztof Jotko. If he’s able to get past Hermansson, there’s a good chance he would emerge in the title shot discussion.

Strickland is never afraid to speak his mind, but his approach to social media has divided fans and critics of his unlike most athletes today.

Sean Strickland has turned in his unfiltered remark for the day, this time the controversial middleweight addressed the topic of homosexuality.

Strickland has made headlines on several occasions throughout the course of 2021. In June, a heated altercation with a training partner was captured on video. His words then began to attract attention as well when, in the same week as the aforementioned incident, he threatened to smack his trolls in front of their children.

Two months later, he became an advocate for pornography and masturbation as a tool to strengthen one’s jab.

However, it wasn’t until he expressed a desire to be the first fighter to kill a man inside the Octagon that he became a controversial figure and his comments began to carry some degree of seriousness.

Since then, he’s spoken out against trans-fighter Alana McLaughlin, recorded a quasi-road-rage incident, and even opened up about his Neo-Nazi childhood background. Whatever you make of Strickland, he has no doubt become arguably the most untempered fighter on the UFC roster.

That being said, the following tweet from Strickland may or may not come as a surprise when responding to a fan’s colorful question about whether the welterweight would rather have a homosexual son or a promiscuous daughter.

“If I had a gay son I would think I failed as a man to create such weakness….. If I had a whore for a daughter I’d think she just wanted to be like her dad lol!”

He also offered these follow-up remarks moments later.

“LISTEN gay men are great, i support them and their choices. freedom! Gay guys have it made. Most gay guys I know are always happy. They all just get to hang with buddies all day and have sex.. us straight men, we’re fucked… we gotta do some serious work to get laid. Not fair”

It is unclear if Strickland was merely offering some of his eccentric humor or if he was being earnest with these remarks. There are two things that are for certain, however. Many people will consider his words, especially the initial tweet, to be homophobic in any context. Meanwhile, many others will consider that interpretation to be an example of “cancel culture.”

In any event, when he’s not chopping it up with Twitter followers in questionable Q&A sessions, Strickland is always in the gym, readying for his next battle. His first bout in 2022 is slated to be against Jack Hermansson on February 5.

Sean Strickland Wants Lifetime Bans For Drug Cheats Like Adesanya & Jones

Sean Strickland’s stance on fighters using performance-enhancing drugs is pretty clear, ban them for life. Strickland took special aim at both Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya, especially Jones who has a history of this as well as failed drug tests.

The UFC middleweight Contender even said that Jones’ legacy is now obsolete because of his usage of banned substances.

Strickland spoke to Helen Yee in a recent interview to discuss the impact banned substances can have.

“I think Jon Jones could’ve been the greatest fighter to ever walk in the UFC. I mean I grew up watching Jon Jones but after he got popped it’s clear that he was juiced. I don’t think he should ever be allowed to fight again; I think his legacy is gone, I think everything he’s ever done in the UFC should be replaced because again if you’re cheating and you’re getting an advantage how do you hold a legacy you know when you didn’t do it on even playing field.”

Sean Strickland accuses Israel Adesanya of cheating

Strickland then turned his attention to middleweight champion Israel Adesanya as rumours had also previously circulated around ‘Stylebender’ in the build-up to his grudge match with Paulo Costa.

“I just think that if you get popped for steroids, lifetime f**king ban. And again, if it’s a tainted supplement, I get that but if you’re juiced like f**king Izzy [Israel Adesanya], Jon Jones it should be a hands down lifetime ban.” (Transcribed by sportskeeda.com)

Israel Adesanya was cleared of any potential wrongdoing and himself claims the effects could have been caused by the consumption of marijuana, but Strickland ain’t buying it.

“We’ve all seen him fight with a t*tty that hung down. I mean, have you ever seen a man fighting in the UFC with gyno, from weed? I mean, look at Nate Diaz, if that was the case Nate Diaz would have t*ts down to his knees.”

Strickland may have to deal with Adesanya sooner rather than later, ‘Tarzan’ is currently riding a five-fight winning streak, and a victory in his next outing on Jack Hermanson scheduled for February 5th could be just the calibre of opponent Strickland needs to beat to earn himself a shot at the title.

Sean Strickland Calls For A $5 Million ‘Fight To The Death On YouTube’ With Jake Paul

Sean Strickland has once again proved to be the “craziest” MMA fighter in the world, as he calls for a $5 million dollar fight with Jake Paul in which he would be open to fight to the death.

Strickland is one of the most outspoken MMA fighter and quite possibly has the best Twitter out there. He is a must follow on for MMA fans. Here are some of his recent tweets:

Strickland is just an absolute savage on social media and really doesn’t care what anyone has to say about him. Strickland had to say something regarding Jake Paul’s $5 million offer to Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal wasn’t interested in fighting ‘The Problem Child’ for “chump change”, as he put it. He countered with his own proposition of Paul coming to the UFC to fight him instead.

Sean Strickland took to Twitter to take Jake Paul up on his offer

“Jake Paul, you offer me 5 MILLION to fight you, fuck we can fly to a deserted island in international water and fight to the death on YouTube for that kind of money… bareknuckle, gloves, knives, clubs…. lol! Let’s fucking go..”

This quote is coming from the same guy that said he wanted to take Belal Muhammad out to the desert and “do some weird sh*t to him”. Strickland was recently called a psychopath by ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley because of the things that he says. O’Malley may have hit the nail on the head with that assessment.

Strickland has a headlining fight coming up in a Feb. ‘Fight Night’ against Jack Hermansson. Strickland is currently on a five fight win streak with his most recent win being over Uriah Hall via unanimous decision. Hermansson on the other hand is coming off a unanimous decision win against Edmen Shahbazyan.

Sean Strickland Targets Dillashaw In Call For USADA Lifetime Bans

Sean Strickland is taking aim at all fighters who have failed USADA testing, especially TJ Dillashaw.

Sean Stickland is a fighter who is constantly in the news for things he says. Whether he is calling out fighters or starting drama, he is not one to hold back. His latest target is on all fighters who have failed drug testing. Strickland went on a Twitter rampage on Thursday to call out for stricter punishments for U.S Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) violations.

“Only thing @usantidoping is good at is catching broke fighters who can’t afford good shit lol! Steroids should be a lifetime ban,” Strickland wrote. “@TJDillashaw
is the absolute scum of the earth and should never be allowed to compete I’m the UFC again. You ruined people’s careers you’re scum.”

Strickland is mentioning TJ Dillashaw by name in his Tweet. Dillashaw has just returned from a two-year suspension after failing a USADA drug test back in 2019. Since the USADA program was instated by the UFC back in 2015, 127 fighters have been handed suspension due to violations, according to the USADA website. Of those 127 fighters, the length of suspensions can range from four months to two years. Some fighters have been simply given a warning.

Nick Diaz was famously suspended for five years following his drug test failures but that was by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, not USADA. Strickland does not see these timeframes as sufficient enough punishments. He would like to see any fighter testing positive be banned for life. He even went in on Jon Jones as well. When asked about Jones specifically, Strickland responded.

“Greatest fighter to ever step in the ufc completely erased by doping,” he wrote.

Jones was suspended by USADA for the use of Clomiphen and Letrozole back 2016. His suspension lasted one year. He was then suspended for 15 months in 2018 for Chlorine-substituted Anabolic Steroid.

Many fighters will just simply return to fighting following suspension. If it were up to Strickland, that would not be the case. Strickland has also recently targeted middleweight champion Israel Adesanya for what Strickland believes is physical evidence of drug use.

Do you think UFC fighters should receive harsher punishments for USADA violations?

Sean Strickland has intense emotions about his upcoming main event fight against Jack Hermansson.

Strickland’s fight against Hermansson is still two months out, but he already has intense emotions about how the bout could play out. The rising middleweight contender said recently that when he meets Hermansson in UFC’s February 5th headliner, he hopes to “take everything” from Hermansson, including his “soul.”

The ranked middleweight mentioned his violent plans in a recent interview.

“I think it’s going to be a kickboxing match. I think we’re going to stand and bang. Obviously, it’s a fight, anything happens, but like the fourth round I want to f*cking take his soul,” Strickland said to MMA Junkie. “I want to take everything from him. I want to watch him bleed. I want to watch him hurt. The fourth round I really just want to f*cking put it on him.”

Jack Hermansson Provides Big Challenge For Sean Strickland

While confident in his words and planning to bring violence, Strickland undoubtedly has a big challenge ahead of him, as Hermansson is a tough contender in his own right.

Hermansson has won three of his last five bouts. His recent losses have come against big names in the division like Jared Cannonier and Marvin Vettori. His last appearance was in May, where he beat prospect Edmen Shahbazyan on the judges’ scorecards.

A win for Strickland will continue his quick and successful rise up the 185-pound division. Strickland won his first UFC main event in July, defeating Uriah Hall on scorecards. The fight was his fourth victory since returning in the fall of 2020.

Strickland envisions a victory next year, potentially setting him up for a fight against the UFC middleweight champion. He expects the result of his fight, along with an upcoming clash between Derek Brunson and Jared Cannonier, to determine who is next in line for champion Israel Adesanya.

Who is your pick for the early February main event? Sean Strickland or Jack Hermansson?
