Many believe Strickland has an advantage over his opponent with a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Expertise in BJJ enables him to take down his opponents efficiently and dominate large parts of the fight.

‘Tarzan’ recently reacted to it in an interview with ‘The Schmo’ and posted the video on his Instagram. He explained he is not someone who misuses jiu-jitsu to embarrass his opponent. According to Strickland, all he does is the “f***ing man dance.”

The American MMA fighter said while explaining with hand gestures, “Listen, guys… Jiu-jitsu? I do the f***ing man game, the f***ing man dance. I’m not trying to f***ing take you down and put my c**k in your face or give you an aggressive hug. I’m trying to do the f**king man dance.”

However, Strickland also clarified that he won’t be shy to take Alex Pereira for a humping session if the latter hit him. He said, “Now that being said, if [Alex] Pereira hits me, I’m gonna take him down and fucking dry hump him for fucking fifteen minutes. That’s right.”

The MMA community reacted to the video

The hilarious video invited reactions from fellow UFC fighters and MMA fans. UFC light heavyweight fighter Caio Borralho called him a “fat f***” and received a boastful reply from ‘Tarzan’.

Sean Strickland makes the realest confession ever

The ‘Tarzan’ of UFC, Sean Strickland, never backs down from saying what he feels. He rarely cares about what others think of him, which makes him one of the most real guys in the business. Whether it’s his opponents or himself, Strickland doesn’t shy away from trolling anyone.

Recently, during the UFC Vegas 47 press conference, Sean Strickland shook the UFC community with his words.

He compared his profession to that of an s*x worker whose only job is to perform for others’ pleasure and earn money. However rude that may sound to the fans, Strickland firmly believes in speaking his heart out.

He further laid out more comparisons of his job to other occupations, calling UFC a “circus”, and their fights “p**nography”

In his own words, Strickland said, “I obviously think that I’m a f**king pr**titute for the UFC. They give me money, but I’m not going to sit here and wear a suit and think I’m anything other than just a dogfighter.

“I love my job. I love what I get paid. But come on now, we’re not doing anything special. You guys watch this. We’re like a f**king circus. We’re like p**nography. It’s something you like, you want to j*rk off to you, but you don’t necessarily want to do,” he added.
