UFC fighter Sean Strickland has stirred controversy once again, this time by leaving X. Known as ‘Tarzan’, Strickland has been a magnet for social media disputes due to his outspoken and controversial views. Fans are displeased with his departure, and some are urging him not to leave.
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
