Sean Strickland, the newly crowned UFC middleweight champ, believes Andrew Tate is not someone young men should look up to.
Andrew Tate is a con artist: Sean Strickland
A former kickboxer, Tate became one of the most popular figures on the internet in recent times, and has garnered a massive fan following. However, he’s also involved in several legal troubles, and is being investigated for alleged human trafficking and rape.
Nicknamed “Cobra”, Tate has a huge social media presence and is also vocal regarding the fight game, with several UFC stars having close acquaintances with him. But, Strickland is not on that bandwagon.
While “Tarzan” acknowledges Tate’s popularity, he opines that his followers mostly comprise of those who back a proper male role model in their lives and also believes that people should look up to Jordan Peterson instead.
“Here’s the thing about Andrew Tate, as young men I could see why you guys look up to him because you are moral-less men. You have no values, you have no positive male role models,” said Strickland during a recent appearance on the FullSend Podcast. “So, you latch onto a piece of s**t like Tate, who has money, who has women. You say I want to be like Tate, all my problems in the world they are because women are f*****g me, this is f*****g me. That’s not it. Andrew Tate is a con artist…”
“To see the way he talked with no remorse, it wasn’t, ‘You know what, man? I did something so morally wrong. I took advantage of men, I took money from men,’ it was like, ‘No, f**k them. I’m a con artist, I’m a piece of s**t.’ So, Andrew Tate, you guys, if you want to look up to a guy, look up to a guy like Jordan Peterson. He understands masculinity, honesty, how to be a f*****g man, but I’m telling you, Andrew Tate, he’s not your messiah. He would turn you out for a dollar. He’s a f*****g pimp, he’s a whore,” he added.
