Sean Strickland is no stranger to controversy. 'Tarzan' never shies away from speaking his mind, even regarding sensitive issues, including global conflicts. However, his latest outburst struck a chord with his coach, Eric Nicksick.
Strickland doesn't relate to men who collect sneakers. The former UFC champion is especially baffled by dedicated collectors who refuse even to wear the unique pairs they own. Addressing the issue in a recent social media post, 'Tarzan' went on a rant, writing:
"When did men start collecting sneakers? What the gay happened to you guys? 'My sneaker has a red stripe on it and cost 600 dollars, I'm scared to wear them because I don't want to get them dirty.' Bunch of f**king lady boys."

Nicksick, head coach at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, is a sneaker-head himself. Responding to Strickland's post, he wrote:
"I feel attacked [three laughing emojis]."
Check out Eric Nicksick's response below:
Strickland is likely already in camp as he is scheduled to face middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis in a title rematch at UFC 312 in February. 'Stillknocks' edged out Strickland via split decision in their first meeting at UFC 297 earlier this year.
Sean Strickland explains how not to become a "toxic f**king male"
Sean Strickland had to soldier through an abusive childhood to become the star that he is today. 'Tarzan' believes it's easy to fall into the trap of being a toxic male, and there is only one way to dissuade oneself from going down that road.
During an appearance on the FULL SEND podcast, the former middleweight champion opened up about his bitter past and how he saved himself from that destructive mindset:
"When I was poor man, I would struggle. You become like vindictive, you just struggle bro. You see people with money, you see people like, the Instagram t****s... And you just fall into this trap of being like this toxic f**king male. And then the moment you start making money and the moment you start doing things more right and you start kinda being the man of your word, living better... Your life becomes exponentially better."
