What car does Sean Strickland drive? Looking at the ex-champion's vehicles that we know of
Sean Strickland is one of the UFC's most popular fighters. The former middleweight champion is widely known for his raw, unfiltered takes on sensitive social issues. Strickland is also lauded for his unique persona, which he owns wholeheartedly and rarely shies away from being himself at all times.
Strickland notably dominated Israel Adesanya at UFC 293 last September and took the 185-pound strap home after his upset victory. However, 'Tarzan' lost the belt to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297 after a razor-sharp split-decision loss. He's now set to face middleweight powerhouse Paulo Costa at UFC 302 this weekend.
What car does Sean Strickland drive?
As mentioned, Sean Strickland is among the most well-known fighters in the UFC and has an active social media presence. He often posts videos and photos of his outings in nature, road trips, and other travels. Given his love for the outdoors, it's no surprise that Strickland owns a pickup truck.
In an Instagram post last December, Strickland joked about the size of different trucks and revealed that he purchased a used Nissan Frontier PRO 4x and intended to use it till the engine gave out. He initially wanted to buy one of the Toyota TRD series vehicles but couldn't afford it.
Other than that, Strickland also owns a Tesla Model S. He bought the EV for a reported $40,000 and has lauded the vehicle's ability to emulate a sports car. However, Strickland has complained about the EV's range and charging time.
Apart from that, Strickland also seems to own a Hyundai Accent, which he was forced to settle for after getting knocked out by Alex Pereira at UFC 276 in July 2022. He initially wanted to buy a Dodge Hellcat muscle car, but it appears the loss forced him to take some cost-cutting measures.
While he undoubtedly loves cars, Strickland appears to be a dedicated motorcycle enthusiast. 'Tarzan' regularly posts pictures of his bikes and is known to regularly embark on road trips on them. Strickland notably owns a black Harley-Davidson Low Rider S cruiser and has compared himself to Arnold Schwarzenegger's legendary film character, 'The Terminator' in the past.
While he loves his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, it appears Strickland's favorite bike is his Yamaha Tenere 700 off-roading adventure bike. The ex-UFC champion has been seen performing stunts on the bike and regularly uses it for his outings. In a recent Instagram post, he took the bike on a shooting trip out in the desert.
