UFC middleweight Sean Strickland has been suspended from Twitter following his latest rant about gun control.<\/p>\n

The world was stunned into silence this week following the latest American school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. A total of 19 children and two teachers were killed in what has been listed as the third-deadliest school shooting on record.<\/p>\n

As a result of the tragedy, the years-long debate regarding gun control in the United States has been brought back to the surface. From those wanting to arm teachers to those simply wanting to introduce stricter laws and background checks, social media has been ablaze with a variety of different opinions on the matter.<\/p>\n

One person who felt quite strongly on the subject, unsurprisingly, was UFC middleweight Sean Strickland.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old has made a name for himself as an outlandish figure<\/a> on Twitter over the course of the last few years and in this instance, his words managed to get him suspended from the platform.<\/p>\n

While it’s not yet been confirmed that these were the tweets that got him the ban hammer, it’s worth noting that this is what he said immediately prior to the decision.<\/p>\n

“\u201c\u2018I have a gun on me, you wouldn\u2019t try to fight me,\u2019 let me stop you there, I don\u2019t try to fight anyone,\u201d Strickland said. \u201cIf you run your mouth I give you an option to be a man and step up\u2026.If your go to is \u2018grab my gun\u2019 you\u2019re a little b***h and the problem with the world. P***y!!!\u201d”<\/p>\n

\u201cI just gotta say countries that don\u2019t have gun ownership [as] a human right really are pathetic,\u201d Strickland said. \u201c\u2018Germany hasn\u2019t had a mass shooting\u2019, \u2018England doesn\u2019t have mass shooting\u2019, blah blah you also don\u2019t have f***ing men either so enjoy it you nutless trannies. That is all goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n
