On 27 December, the 30-year-old took to Twitter to share some homophobic and misogynistic thoughts with his almost 26,000 followers.

Responding to a follower asking if he would rather have a “gay son or a thot daughter,” the fighter said: “If I had a gay son I would think I failed as a man to create such weakness….. If I had a whore for a daughter I’d think she just wanted to be like her dad lol!!”

He followed the tweet up with another that said he supports the “choices” made by gay men and added that they “all just get to hang with buddies all day and have sex”.

“LISTEN gay men are great, i support them and their choices,” Strickland wrote. “Freedom! Gay guys have it made. Most gay guys I know are always happy. They all just get to hang with buddies all day and have sex.. us straight men, we’re fucked… we gotta do some serious work to get laid. Not fair.”

The UFC star, who currently tanks number seven in the middleweight division, faced instant criticism for his comments

“Hate to break it to you, but you’ve already failed as a man,” wrote lawyer Ari Cohn.
