Sean Strickland reveals friendship with ‘liberal’ Chris Curtis is now over: “Weakness is cancer”

It appears that former UFC champion Sean Strickland is no longer cool with Chris Curtis.

‘Tarzan’ and ‘The Action Man’ have been close friends and training partners for years now. In the last few years, Sean Strickland and Chris Curtis have continued to rise in the UFC together. While the former became middleweight champion with a win over Israel Adesanya last year, the latter has continued to move up the rankings.

They’ve gotten so close in recent years, that they’ve even started a podcast together. Titled ‘The Man Dance’, Sean Strickland and Chris Curtis discussed a wide variety of subjects. Despite the two being on polar opposites of the political spectrum, they’ve been great friends. However, that friendship now seems over.

Taking to X earlier today, Sean Strickland revealed that his longtime pal blocked him on X. When asked for an explanation, he stated that there was an issue in sparring, that led to an argument. Strickland continued to make posts mocking his former friend, while Chris Curtis made his own post on social media about the situation.

What do you get a liberal to say you’re sorry? A fruit basket? A basket of dildos?

Normally I’d just buy a homie a gun and call it quits but generally when you give a liberal a gun they go shoot up schools…

Weakness is cancer man, literally it spreads through the gym like a virus…. It effects everyone… I can be pretty hard. Probably too militant

But

Curt wanted to drill during sparring and I said no do it on your own time and his lost it. Very gay…

Curt we miss you lol https://t.co/M9slWMz9Ur

For those wondering, I believe there is a certain amount of respect that you give to those who support you. When that respect is not reciprocated, it doesn’t matter who it is, those people can no longer be involved in your inner circle. It’s that simple. Life goes on guys.

UFC middleweight Sean Strickland reveals friendship with Chris Curtis is over

While Sean Strickland and Chris Curtis’ friendship might be over, it’s unlikely that they’ll ever fight in the cage. The two remain teammates at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, and that won’t change despite their social media spat.

As of now, Sean Strickland isn’t scheduled for his return to the cage. ‘Tarzan’ last competed at UFC 302 last month, scoring a split-decision win over Paulo Costa. Afterward, Strickland revealed his intention to sit out and wait for a title shot.

Meanwhile, Chris Curtis hasn’t competed since a split-decision loss to Brendan Allen in April. In the final moments of that bout, ‘The Action Man’ suffered a torn hamstring.

What do you make of this UFC news? Who do you want to see Sean Strickland and Chris Curtis fight next?
