Brady's x-rated roast was streamed live on Netflix on 5 May and brought together many of the biggest names from his New England Patriots' dynasty.
A stellar lineup of comedians and professional roasters took aim at the seven-time Super Bowl champion over three painfully funny hours.
However, former quarterback Brady took issue with some of the jokes aimed at his family including ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, and Strickland has criticized Brady’s handling of the situation.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of this weekend's UFC event in , 'Tarzan' ranted: “Brady’s a c***, bro.

"What did he say, he got mad ‘Don’t talk about my wife like that!’. Listen, you f***ing p****. You signed up to be made fun of, and you can’t handle it? Don’t f***ing do it. Me? I don’t know if I can handle it…but he handled it like a f***ing woman.
"You act like a f***ing girl, and you can pet goats, and post g** f***ing photos. Man the f*** up, no one thinks you’re tough Tom Brady, you’re made fun of [by] a f***ing comedian, you f***ing pu***â€.
Brady reflected on the roast on The Pivot podcast and expressed regret over the way the show impacted his children.
He said, “I loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun. I didn’t like the way it affected my kids.

Comedian Nikki Glaser made a joke referencing the martial arts skills of Joaquim Valente, Bundchen's alleged new boyfriend who is a jiu-jitsu trainer.
Comedian and Hollywood star Kevin Hart also went in on Brady and Bundchen's breakup, saying: "You sometimes got to f*** your coach.
"You know who else f***ed their coach? Gisele. She f***ed that karate man."
Glaser later shared her opinions on the roast on Today with Hoda and Jenna.
She said, “I feel maybe he didn’t consider the backlash from his family and how it would affect them, and I do understand that.â€
She added, "Tom Brady does not do anything without doing his research and knowing exactly what he’s getting into. I think it’s kind of a thing you say after the fact, but it’s impossible to me that he didn’t consider what could’ve happened.â€
Strickland has a history of crazy moments and has made numerous controversial comments in the past.

After defeating Abus Magomedov last year, he also said women needed to be 'put back in the kitchen.'
