However, earlier this week, the outspoken Strickland came forward – accusing the previously mentioned, Ghosn of assaulting a female fighter on numerous occasions, having spoken with the alleged victim’s father.

If you want to sue me, I will crowd fund this, and we will go to court, and I will fight you.”
