"When you wonder why Weinsteins exist..."- Sean Strickland fires back at fan after being warned about posting Tiki Ghosn accusations on social media

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland revealed perhaps the most passionate side of his multi-faceted persona - the hero of the downtrodden. In a video posted on Instagram, 'Tarzan' appeared to have embarked on a scorched earth campaign against MMA manager, trainer, and former fighter, Tiki Ghosn.

In the video, Strickland claimed that an incident between a fighter and a woman at Ghosn's gym, Huntington Beach (HB) Ultimate Training Center, made him decide not to be associated with him or his gym anymore.

Sometime later Strickland was told by a friend that Ghosn was also accused of alleged sexual misconduct on a daughter of another friend. After doing some research on his own, the former UFC middleweight king decided to come out with the stories publicly and made it known that he would battle Ghosn in court should the latter sue him for defamation or slander.

The caption of Strickland's post read:

"@tikighosn I would of let this go till you tried to shut me up with a lawsuit.. Looks like we're going to court. I might ask for a gofund to help fight this in court. I won't take a dollar but what kind of man would I be if I shut up because 'a lawyer threat'"

A fan who goes by @biggorillaenergy warned Strickland about posting serious allegations on social media, saying:

"Unwise to post to social media prior to a court case unless you've already spoken to a lawyer."

To this, Strickland replied with:

"@biggorillaenergy when you wonder why weinsteins exist.. this is how and why"

Sean Strickland speaks more on Tiki Ghosn allegation

Diving deeper into Strickland's X account, Sean Strickland spoke more about his thoughts on this new feud with Tiki Ghosn. Needless to say, the outspoken former champion wasn't pulling any punches. 'Tarzan' sees himself as the voice of the unheard and the silenced, saying:

"There was a part of me that thought 'Sean this guy is friends with everyone, just shut the f**k up and don't ruin your career' because of you guys it doesn't matter. I am above Tiki because you guys.. other people/fighters knew. They were just afraid to ruin their careers"

Strickland further claimed that he had messages from other women who came forward to support the allegations:

"I have received a couple messages from girls who are very credible. Really bad.. worse than I thought. If they want to stay in the shadows I will respect that. But I am going to ask them if I can share their messages with the UFC. Tiki you don't deserve the life you have...."

Strickland re-iterates that these are all based on stories he's heard from reliable sources, and he's basing his judgement on them. As of this writing, no official word has been heard from Tiki Ghosn's side yet. This is a developing story and we'll keep our ears to the ground.
