Sean Strickland Biography
Tarzan

Strickland turned unfiltered speech into one of MMA's most divisive acts. His interviews cast a wide net with their offensiveness, but it's hard to ignore someone who beats the very best. The two-time middleweight champion fights with a deceptively effective style built around pressure, a relentless jab and fantastic defensive instincts. He's scored two of the biggest shockers in UFC history, upsetting Israel Adesanya and Khamzat Chimaev in title fights. Whether fans embrace or reject him, Strickland forces a reaction.

"The biggest superpower in life is gratitude."
