Former UFC star Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson recently sent fans into a frenzy with an old picture of Sean Strickland posing with former heavyweight contender Shane Carwin.

Strickland is undoubtedly among the most popular UFC stars today and is known for his unfiltered and unapologetic manner of expressing himself. The former UFC middleweight champion is also known for sporting a bald look with a functional fashion sense at all times. However, Jackson's recent social media post reminded fans that 'Tarzan' once sported long hair for a classically handsome look.

After Jackson shared the image via an X post and asked fans to name the two fighters posing casually for a picture, many flocked to the comments section to express their thoughts and point out Strickland's seemingly coy pose.

Sean Strickland blasts Khamzat Chimaev in recent social media rant

Sean Strickland recently sounded off on Khamzat Chimaev in a heated social media rant and slammed the grappling savant for his connections to Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov.

In a recent X post, Strickland opined that Chimaev wasn't "compatible with America" and accused "Borz' of selling his soul to a "terrorist" leader. The former UFC middleweight king wrote:

"I love how the world just overlooks this guy's past... Builds a life in Sweden, goes and becomes best friends with an absolute monster who pretty much bought him like a W... then when the leash got too tight he fled to the Middle East... You should not be allowed in this country. You [sold] your soul to a terrorist dictator... You are not compatible with America... Thank god we don't do drone strikes in that part of the sand pit... Sick of the UFC forgetting it's an American company."
