Sean Strickland recently took aim at billionaires such as Elon Musk, amid the hot topic debate surrounding the H-1B visa debate ongoing in the United States.
'Tarzan' has never been one to shy away from a debate, often leading the charge on social media on a number of subjects he takes issue with. Most recently, Strickland has been calling out American politician Vivek Ramaswamy, the U.S. government and Elon Musk.
Ramaswamy had previously put out a lengthy statement on social media which blamed America's culture of supporting 'mediocrity' for the decline in native American employment. His comments came after reports that the H-1B visa, a non-immigrant visa which allows American companies to employ foreign workers in certain occupations, had seen an increase in numbers and hires.

Whilst Ramaswamy had blamed the U.S. culture for the decrease in native American employment and their 'lack of skills', Strickland instead believes the blame lies at the hands of the owners of these organizations that are hiring staff through the H-1B visa, instead of American citizens.
After first firing back at Vivek Ramaswamy earlier this week, Strickland has once again gone on the offensive, this time calling out billionaires, like Elon Musk, and the U.S. government. According to the former middleweight champ, they are both to blame for the decrease in American employment. He tweeted:
"Crazy concept.....You're both bad.....Billionaires "government is bad". Government "Billionaires are bad". Two bad guys pointing the finger at each other saying "he's the bad guy not me" lmao @elonmusk"

Robert Whittaker reacts to Sean Strickland being handed rematch against Dricus du Plessis
Robert Whittaker recently shared his reaction to the news that Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis are set to run it back for the middleweight title at UFC 312 on Feb. 8 in Sydney, Australia.
'Tarzan' and 'Stillknocks' first faced-off for the belt at UFC 297 back in January. The pair went the distance in a razor-close contest that saw du Plessis win the title via split-decision. The South African has since gone on to defend the belt against Israel Adesanya, whereas Strickland defeated Paulo Costa in the summer.
During a recent episode of his MMArcade podocast, Whittaker weighed in on the UFC's decision to book the rematch instead of handing Khamzat Chimaev a title shot. He said:
"I'm surprised Sean Strickland literally just sat out. Everyone was laughing at him when he said, 'I'm gonna sit out until I get my title shot.' Dude straight-up got the title shot, props for that. Like, you got to give it to him. The guy straight-up stuck by what he said."
