UFC 293 Embedded: Sean Strickland expresses his heartfelt love for his girlfriend

Sean Strickland's outward personality often comes off as rogue or wild, in part due to his unfiltered comments and trash talk. His nickname of 'Tarzan' only supplements that reputation.

However, in a rare moment of emotion and seriousness, Strickland revealed in an interview two weeks ago that he had a girlfriend whom he loved very much. 'Tarzan' said to Helen Yee in an interview:

“I have a girlfriend who I love very much. She makes me a better man, you guys... I was just telling her this the other day. I tell my girl, I’m like, 'Babe, every time I think about breaking up with you, and I think about all the p***y I can get. I think about who I was before I met you. As much as I like being single and getting all [redacted]. With you, guys, my girl she makes me a truly better man and baby, I thank you for that.”

Strickland also described the impact his girlfriend has had on his apartment and life, in general.
