- Sean Strickland is willing to take legal actions against Tiki Ghosn
- “Tarzan” has accused Tiki of child molestation
Sean Strickland has made it clear that he wouldn’t back down from Tiki Ghosn should the situation escalates to a legal battle.
Sean warns Tiki
The former UFC middleweight champion found himself in the middle of a potentially difficult situation after he accused Ghosn, an MMA fighter-turned-manager of assault and child molestation. According to Strickland, he was told that the victim was a gym member’s daughter.
In a video on Instagram, “Tarzan” clarified that it’s still technically an “allegation” but he is willing to face Ghosn in court if the manager decides to sue him for defamation.
”So, Tiki, what I say to you is, if you want to sue me for slandered defamation, I’m not slandering you, I’m not making this up. This is what was told to me by the girl’s father. If you want to sue me, I’ll crowd-fund this and we will go to court and I will fight you,” Strickland said.
In the caption, Strickland further pointed out that Ghosn wouldn’t silent him with legal threats.
“@tikighosn I would of let this go till you tried to shut me up with a lawsuit.. Looks like we’re going to court. I might ask for a gofund to help fight this in court. I won’t take a dollar but what kind of man would I be if I shut up because [of] “a lawyer threat”,” he wrote.
Sean isn’t all about controversy
While Strickland has been making headlines for either political or legal issues as of late, he also let the fans know that after all, he is still a normal person with a normal life. In a wholesome video on social media, “Tarzan” played hide-and-seek with his girlfriend but they added a little twist in it by equipping themselves with Nerf guns.

As expected, Strickland’s leisure time with his girlfriend was still met with criticisms as some online fans couldn’t help but link the former champ to his past traumas and current controversies.
Here’s what some of them had to say:
“Man somebody save that girl he might unload his trauma from his daddy on her”
“This guy is headed down a bad road”
“Brother had to find someone as crazy as him”
“I know this made Strickland happy as shit. 😂 It definitely makes up for when he almost dumped her for saying she would turn him in if he killed a man.”
Strickland secured a decision win over Paulo Costa in his last fight at UFC 302. UFC president Dana White has confirmed that he will be facing the winner of Dricus du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya title fight at UFC 305.
