UFC fighter Sean Strickland is not one to shy away from speaking his mind, including saying some pretty controversial things. Unfortunately, for Francis Ngannou, he was one of 'Tarzan's recent targets.
In true Strickland fashion, in a recent NSFW tweet, 'Tarzan' praised the former UFC heavyweight champion, comparing the Cameroonian to a legendary Arthurian knight. His tweet read:
"Telling Francis I feel bad for all his ex current bfs. He says 'Sean when you know a woman's body you can make her feel great with just a finger' calm the f**k down lancelot. You're a 6'5 300 lb black man your finger might be bigger than my c**k asshole. Yeah UFC f**k that guy."

Sean Strickland was last seen in a winning effort against Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Fight Night 217. 'Tarzan' is 26-5 as a professional mixed martial artist.
'The Predator' is currently a free agent since walking away from the UFC earlier this year, after failed contract negotiations. The Xtreme Couture pupil holds a record of 17-3.
Ngannou holds notable wins against numerous bonified MMA legends including Stipe Miocic, Alistair Overeem, Cain Velasquez, and Junior dos Santos, among others.
The 36-year-old has long been eyeing a boxing showdown against WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury. Now, since he is finally out of his UFC obligations, such a match-up might be a possibility.
Tyson's unique call-out for Francis Ngannou includes Mike Tyson
Rumors of a boxing super fight between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury first emerged when the WBC champion called out 'The Predator' after his TKO victory against Dillian Whyte at Wembley.

However, since the Cameroonian's UFC exit, 'The Gypsy King' has renewed his offer with a unique twist.
During an interview with Seconds Out, the Brit proposed that the men will now engage in a boxing match in an MMA cage, with 4-ounce gloves and boxing legend Mike Tyson as a referee:
"Francis Ngannou, I know you're out of contract with the UFC. Wanna earn some big boy money? Come see 'The Gypsy King'. And let's do a big, big fight for the baddest MF on the planet. And let's kick it up spicy, in a cage, four-ounce gloves, under Queensberry [boxing rules], and let's have a badass referee like 'Iron' Mike Tyson."
