Sean Strickland has responded to Nina-Marie Daniele’s recent humorous inquiry about whether 'Tarzan' would help or hurt the UFC and Meta's relationship.
The UFC recently announced a multi-year partnership with Meta. With the deal, Meta becomes the promotion’s first official fan technology partner. The tech company will collaborate with the UFC to use the various services provided by Meta to give fans a greater experience.
Former UFC middleweight champion Strickland recently featured in a video with Daniele. In the video, 'Tarzan,' who is well-known for his divisive views and outspoken demeanor, was shown raging in his trademark manner and making comments about the social media platforms he uses and doesn't.
Strickland revealed that he loves Instagram but is not as interested in Threads and Facebook. Daniele posted the aforementioned clip on Instagram and joked:

What could be next for Sean Strickland?
Sean Strickland failed to regain his UFC middleweight strap in a rematch with Dricus du Plessis at UFC 312 and lost via unanimous decision. The American UFC fighter's underwhelming performance was criticized by his coach Eric Nicksick.
'Tarzan's' next opponent has not been announced yet. However, it has been speculated that he is set to lock horns with ranked UFC middleweight contenders like Marvin Vettori and Robert Whittaker.
Meanwhile, Khamzat Chimaev is next in line to get a shot at the UFC middleweight gold. 'Borz' is expected to battle champion du Plessis in 2025.
