Sean Strickland may not look like a ‘Disney Prince’ anymore, but he does have an amazing princess in his life
Sean Strickland’s opinions can come across as misogynistic to some people and his controversial statements could actually repel women. Now that he no longer looks like a young man with chiseled features, one may assume that the 32-year-old would actually be struggling to get along with women.
But that’s not the case really! Sean Strickland revealed that his girlfriend has actually made a positive impact on his life and he struggles to deal with everyday tasks in her absence. During the UFC 293 media day interactions, 'Tarzan' had this to say about his partner:
“If you actually ever met my girl, you’d be like, ‘What the f* are you doing with him?’ She’s actually two degrees, East Coast girl, actually solid, you guys! What I do though, I don’t tag her or anything and I don’t f* put her in my interviews… I hide her, hide her away! As far as she knows, I’ve got a double life."
