UFC 293 has brought a lot of spotlight to Sean Strickland‘s name after his incredible performance. He won the middleweight championship after dominating Israel Adesanya for five rounds. With the spotlight comes scrutiny from past conflicts and controversial statements. One of Strickland’s controversies caught the eye of ex-NFL player Robert Griffin III.
In one of Strickland’s previous interviews, the new champion ranted against women’s right to vote. Griffin reacted to this clip and tweeted, “Sean Strickland blaming women for the decline of our country. And saying they should be put back in the kitchen is Wrong and irresponsible. And every level-headed person watching this CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS GUY TO GET HIS A** KICKED. Women aren’t the problem Sean, YOU ARE.“
Griffin formerly played football quarterback in the National Football League for eight seasons. His most notable work came with the Washington Redskins. After his professional career, Griffin worked as an analyst and a broadcast personality in NFL shows. But, the former NFL player didn’t hold back in his tweet as he criticized the new middleweight champion on his opinions. Further, the offensive nature of the clip got to him as he spoke about misogynistic views.
