Ex-UFC middleweight titleholder, Sean Strickland, has implicated reputable MMA manager Khalil ‘Tiki’ Ghosn in serious accusations. In a digital message disseminated through X on August 13, Strickland voiced uneasiness related to Ghosn, springing from unfavorable encounters at Ghosn’s HB Ultimate Training Center several years prior.
Strickland narrated an incident that supposedly involved Ghosn’s improper behavior with the daughter of a gym member. However, he emphasized the speculative nature of his claims. Strickland stated emphatically, ‘I put considerable reflection into creating this video. My claims are not rooted in verifiable facts, they are speculative in nature – therein lies the possibility of them being untrue.’
Previously, Strickland had shared a video on his social media platforms, which was later erased, where he suggested that Ghosn had been involved in sexual misconduct. In his freshest public address, Strickland claimed he received information ‘through the grapevine’ that Ghosn might be contemplating a defamation lawsuit, and that motivated the removal of the original video.
With a defiant stance, Strickland has hinted that any defamation lawsuits pursued by Ghosn would be countered with legal action supported by public funding. ‘I’ve had conversations with the girl, as well as her father, both of us are prepared to defend our stance in court,’ he said assertively.
Strickland maintains a strong position, saying ‘If you decide to go legal, we are ready. With the power of crowdfunding, we can weather this storm. Bring it, Tiki, we are girded up for this challenge.’ So ends Strickland’s latest public address, leaving the situation charged with tension.
