Tom Brady recently took part in the popular Netflix roast, The Roast of Tom Brady, which many fans enjoyed. And one UFC fighter took issue with how Brady has since handled the roast, and proceeded to take things to a bit of a disturbing level with his criticism of the future Hall of Fame quarterback.
Since the roast, Brady has stated that he would not take part in another roast due to how some of the jokes, specifically about his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, affected his kids.
Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland, who has a fight scheduled on Saturday at UFC 302 against Paulo Costa, took exception to how Brady has handled the situation after the fact, going on an expletive-filled rant against Brady that featured some nasty, homophobic comments towards the legendary quarterback.
“Ah man, Tom Brady was a c***,” said Strickland via Happy Punch on X, formerly known as Twitter. “He got mad and said ‘Don’t talk about my wife like that’. Listen you f****** p****, you signed up to be made fun of. You can’t handle that? Don’t f****** do it. Me, I don’t know if I could handle that. But yeah, he handled that like a f****** woman. You act like a f****** girl, you pet goats, you post gay f****** photos. Man the f*** up. Nobody thinks you are tough Tom Brady. You are making fun of a f****** comedian, you f****** p****.”
Obviously, Strickland went way below the belt here in a number of different ways. To criticize the roast in particular is one thing. But Strickland seemed to attack Brady for everything he does in his day-to-day life.
This is far from the first time that Strickland has spoken his mind on controversial topics in the past, previously going on several anti-LGBTQ rants in the past during pre-fight press conferences.
