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. Earlier this year in March, Strickland went vocal about the infamous slap incident that happened at the stage of the Oscars involving the noted actor, Will Smith, and the famous comedian, Chris Rock.

Strickland’s tweets clearly implied that he didn’t support Will Smith’s action of slapping Chris Rock in front of the entire audience of the Oscars. He also fired at Jada Pinkett Smith with a few lewd words in one of his tweets.

Sean Strickland lauded Chris Rock and derided Will Smith in his tweets

Chris Rock had cracked a joke on a disease that Jada Pinkett Smith was suffering from. It is called ‘Alopecia’ and caused Jada Smith to lose her hair. However, the joke didn’t sit well with the actress. Her husband decided to step up for her to teach a lesson to Rock with a slap for cracking a joke about such a sensitive issue.

However, Strickland was evidently against Smith’s display of such outrageous behavior. He also connected the noted UFC Welterweight Fighter, Colby Covington to this incident and wrote, “Lmao!!!!!!!!! If that was [Colby Covington] he would of been on the phone calling 911 while trying to give Trump a hand job.” It was evident that ‘Tarzan’ didn’t think too highly of ‘Chaos’.

He also put out a tweet in support of the slapped comedian and anchor for the night Chris Rock, which read, “Well played [Chris Rock]. You took that s**t like a man…You should catch him in the parking lot lol.”

Will Smith initially also laughed out with the crowd at Rock’s joke. But it was Jada Smith who was offended, and it was evident from her facial expressions. Strickland viewed her as the ultimate reason behind will Smith’s behavior and fired at her through a tweet.

‘Tarzan’ went rogue and wrote, “OK full circle… GI Jane was sexy so maybe Will Smith thought Chris Rock was trying to f**k his wife, because she was known to throw the p**sy around… idk man odd world. Time to go back to giving zero f**ks about movie stars. Just a rare occasion of violence.. hmmm…”.
