Sean Strickland has found himself at the center of yet another controversy. This time, Strickland claimed that he would assist in filing a legal case against former fighter-turned-manager Tiki Ghosn if he's first sued for defamation.
Strickland is one of the UFC's most divisive personalities, and his X account frequently reflects his controversial opinions. In a recent post on social media, the former middleweight champion has accused Ghosn of alleged assault on a girl.
Strickland added that, while he was in a gym, he allegedly found out that Ghosn had molested a member's daughter. The 33-year-old then contacted the victim's father, offering to crowd-fund and assist in filing a lawsuit against Ghosn. He asked the alleged victim's father whether he was alright with it and received a positive response.
''So Tiki, what I say to you is, if you want to sue me for slandered 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'll crowd-fund this and we will go to court and I will fight you.''
