Sean Strickland in limelight for beefing with media personalities

Sean Strickland lost the middleweight title at UFC 297 and in the past few days has been embroiled in feuds outside the UFC. His intense sparring session received criticism from crossover boxing stars like Jake Paul and Bryce Hall. Strickland also insulted Machine Gun Kelly, who was present at Power Slap 6.

After video footage emerged of Sneako with bloodied injuries from sparring with Strickland, Jake Paul challenged Strickland to a boxing match and even offered $1 million for the potential match. Strickland accepted the match but revealed that such actions would illicit a lawsuit from the UFC with whom he has signed an exclusive contract.

UFC CEO Dana White even shared his thoughts about Strickland’s verbal insults at Machine Gun Kelly at the post-fight presser of Power Slap 6. Preluding his title fight at UFC 297 against Dricus du Plessis, Strickland had a physical altercation with du Plessis in the audience of UFC 296.

Nonetheless, Strickland has a loyal fan base and they vehemently believed that Strickland was robbed of a victory at UFC 297 against du Plessis. Moreover, they even forced Jon Anik to contemplate retirement after he agreed with the judge’s decision at the UFC 297 main event.
