UFC champion Sean Strickland labels Andrew Tate 'con artist' for lack of remorse over scamming men: 'He's not your messiah'

Sean Strickland also suggested that young men could look up to Jordan Peterson as a role model instead

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland garnered significant attention from followers of the controversial influencer Andrew Tate as he challenged 'Top G' in a recent podcast.

Strickland is recognized for candidly expressing his thoughts without fear of backlash. The recently crowned champion of the 185-pound weight class is unreserved when discussing a wide range of subjects.

Sean Strickland accuses Andrew Tate of being a 'con artist'

In a recent episode of the Full Send Podcast, Strickland stated his unfavorable opinion of Tate.

He expressed that, from his perspective, young men might find reasons to admire Tate due to a perceived lack of moral compass, the absence of positive male role models, and a certain attraction to Tate's wealth and relationships.

Moreover, Strickland asserted that Tate had admitted to being involved in illicit activities, specifically pretending to be a cam girl and getting money by taking "advantage of men" and showed no remorse for it. He admitted he would earn as much as $4,000 a day impersonating cam girls, per Mirror.

Strickland found Tate's lack of remorse concerning, noting that rather than acknowledging the moral wrongdoing, Tate seemed to revel in his identity as a "con artist."

Strickland went on to suggest an alternative figure to look up to, advocating for Jordan Peterson. According to Strickland, Peterson embodies qualities of masculinity, integrity, and genuine manhood.

He cautioned against viewing Tate as a role model, characterizing him as someone who would exploit others for financial gain, likening him to a "p*mp" or a "w***e."

Strickland said, "Here's the thing about Andrew Tate, as young men I could see why you guys look up to him because you are moralless men," explaining, "You have no values, you have no positive male role models. So, you latch onto a piece of s**t like Tate, who has money, who has women."

Recalling the time Tate "pretended to be a cam girl and used to rob people's savings" Strickland further said, "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.'"

He added, "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**king man, but I'm telling you, Andrew Tate, he's not your messiah," and conclusively stating, "He would turn you out for a dollar. He's a f**king p*mp, he's a w***e."

When asked if Sean thinks there is anything positive about Tate, he said, "Well he's good and bad but he's a con artist."

Sean Strickland's fans called Andrew Tate 'dork'

As a clip of the podcast made its way to X (formerly known as Twitter), numerous individuals took to the comment section in response to Strickland's characterization of Tate as a "con artist," sharing their perspectives on Strickland's remarks about Tate.

One user wrote, "He’s absolutely right." Another user wrote, "Lol i said this sooo long ago and got dragged lol. Guys a grease ball."

A third user stated, "Why? Tate is a dork."
