Well, now, let me tell ya about Sean Strickland, this feller from the UFC. He’s been around for quite a while, puttin’ up quite the show in the middleweight division. But what’s really got folks talkin’ lately is this hair of his. Y’all probably seen him fightin’, all clean-shaven and tough lookin’, but did you know that there was a time when he had hair? Yup, back in the day, Sean Strickland had long hair, and I tell ya, he didn’t look too different from some of those wild Tarzan fellers, swingin’ through the trees. He was young, full of energy, and, well, a little less polished than the fighter we know today.
See, Sean Strickland started his career with a whole different look. He even called himself “Tarzan” because, just like the jungle fella, he loved to climb things and get into a scrap or two. That name stuck for a while, and so did that long hair. But as time went on and he got more serious with his fights, he started trimmin’ down that wild mane. Folks are always surprised when they see those old photos of him—long hair flippin’ around, looking like a whole different person!
But that was then, and this is now. These days, Strickland’s got that no-nonsense look, shaved head and all. Makes him look tougher, meaner, like he’s ready to step into that octagon and knock some heads. But I reckon some of his fans still remember the days of the wild hair, and every now and then, you’ll see someone post one of those old photos and folks start talkin’ again. Some even say he looked a little like Kayla Harrison with that long hair, though I ain’t so sure about that myself.
Now, don’t get me wrong, Sean Strickland’s still a talented fighter, long hair or short. This feller can throw punches and take hits like nobody’s business. He’s been in the UFC for years, and I reckon he’s got plenty of fight left in him. He’s got a record of 28 wins and 5 losses, and from the way he fights, you wouldn’t wanna mess with him, no matter how much hair he’s got on his head!
But all these hair talks ain’t just about looks, y’know? People wonder if his hair affected his fighting style in some way, or if it’s just a part of his transformation from the scrappy young fighter to the seasoned pro he is today. Some folks say that cutting his hair might’ve helped him focus more on his training. Others think it just comes down to comfort—maybe short hair’s easier to manage when you’re gettin’ thrown around in that octagon.
Regardless of why he chopped it off, Strickland’s career keeps goin’ strong. He’s a fighter through and through, and whether his hair is long or short, he’s still a force to be reckoned with. Fans still get a kick outta those old pictures, though. It’s funny how a man’s hair can get folks talkin’ as much as his fights!
So, next time you’re watchin’ a Strickland fight, just remember there was a time when he looked a whole lot different—long hair, the whole Tarzan vibe. But at the end of the day, it’s the fighter that counts, not the hair. And this feller’s got plenty of that!
