Sean Strickland might just be one of the most controversial fighters in the history of the promotion. The ‘Tarzan’ frequently gets into tough situations due to his unapologetic opinions on social media. However, this time the fighter’s claims about MMA manager Tiki Ghosn are rather serious.
Sean Strickland recently took to X and shared a video where he talked about Tiki Ghosn allegedly being a child predator. In the video, the fighter talked about everything in detail and mentioned that he heard the whole thing from an individual. The former UFC middleweight champion also mentioned that he’s ready to take this case to court and fight for justice for the victim.
So Tiki, what I say to you is. If you want to sue me for slander, defamation. I’m not slandering you, I’m not making this up. This is what was told to me by the girl’s father. If you want to sue me, I will crowd-fund this and we will go to court and I will fight you.

Strickland claimed he even talked about the whole situation with the victim and her father, thus confirming the allegations. A few days ago, Strickland posted some tweets talking about Tiki Ghosn paying fighters for sexual favors and sleeping with minors. However, he later deleted the tweets and joked about fighting a defamation case.

It wasn’t the first time Sean Strickland publicly talked about child predators in the UFC. In the past, Strickland has called out Rose Namajunas for bizarrely dating her coach Pat Barry. According to Strickland, the gap between both of them was a clear case of sexual grooming. Similarly, he also mentioned the same about the relationship between UFC fighter Aspen Ladd and her trainer Jim West.
I left that post up for about three-four hours and I kept googling Tiki, Tiki. I kept googling his name when is someone is writing an article about what I said and nothing….I drop a bomb like that and nobody says anything, that is how deeply this man is connected

Sean Strickland’s last fight was against Tiki Ghosn’s client, Paulo Costa where he won the fight via unanimous decision. Currently, the fighter is playing the waiting game and has asked the promotion to give him the title shot. Nevertheless, it seems like he will remain busy with the ongoing child predator controversy.
