Sean Strickland is one of the most noted names in the entire UFC. Strickland has fought noted opponents like the current Middleweight Champion, Alex Pereira, and several others. ‘Tarzan’ currently boasts an enviable record of 25-4-0 in his entire MMA career. He is known for his efficient striking inside the octagon and brash talking on the mic. Strickland also possesses a knack for commenting on various other issues apart from the fight game.
