UFC fighter Sean Strickland is leaving Twitter and fans don’t want to se him go!
Yes, ‘Tarzan’s controversial views are often fodder for social media wars and a whole lot of criticism. However, while taking off the Elon Musk-owned website, Strickland just seemed disappointed in society’s state of affairs.
‘Tarzan’ took to Twitter saying,
“The American dream has been replaced with the American greed. Until we as a society go back to tradition, gender rules and simplicity, there is no hope to have a country with dignity. Goodbye x.”
I’m getting off X
I’ll leave you with this. The American dream has been replaced with the American greed.
Until we as a society go back to tradition, gender rules and simplicity, there is no hope to have a country with dignity.
Goodbye x

At this point in time there is no information on what exactly triggered Strickland to take such a harsh step.
But given his volatile history of being sensitive about people just being gay, or gender non-conformist suggests he could have been triggered by the smallest, most snowflake of things.
However, despite his lack of hope in the people and the United States of America, his departure left fans upset.
One fan made an earnest request towards Strickland saying, “Don’t leave us!.”
Don’t leave us!

Amidst all this, it’s interesting to note that Strickland’s departure comes a day after fight announcement for the middleweight title between Adesanya and Dricus Du Plessis.

Now that Adesanya will be taking on Du Plessis, ‘Tarzan’ will either have to wait for the winner or he can secure another win in the meantime. However, according to comments made online, it seems as though Strickland is happy to wait it out and fight the winner rather than taking on another challenge at this point in time.
