UFC is the easiest promotion to get into, claims Sean Strickland
Sean Strickland has claimed that the UFC is the easiest promotion to get into. The comments came in response to a statement made by fellow fighter Ian Heinisch, who used statistics to argue that only 1 in 130,494,809 people get to compete in the UFC. Strickland dismissed the statistics as "factually inaccurate" and suggested that it is pretty easy to get into the UFC compared to other sports. He even went as far as to call someone who wants to be a UFC fighter an "absolute f***ing idiot" based on average earnings and years spent in the organization.
Taking to his Twitter handle, 'Tarzan' wrote:
"Why [people] should never believe statistics? Everything about this [is] factually inaccurate and either a sign of a liar or CTE. You would only take people seeking UFC and you could even narrow it down [with] other factors. Result, it is pretty easy to get into the UFC compared to all other sports... If you take [the] average earnings of all fighters [and the] average years spent in the UFC, you will find that if you want to be a UFC fighter, you're an absolute f***ing idiot."
