The world of combat sports is no stranger to drama, and the latest feud involves former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
Strickland recently engaged in a spar with Sneako, resulting in a one-sided beatdown that left the streamer battered. The footage caught the attention of Jake Paul, who didn't mince words in expressing his displeasure.
“The Problem Child” labeled Strickland's actions as "embarrassing" and criticized his boxing skills. Paul threw down the gauntlet, challenging Strickland to a fight in Puerto Rico, with a $1 million prize for the victor.
Strickland swiftly responded, taking a jab at Paul's loss to Tommy Fury. Despite accepting the challenge, the exchange took a dark turn when Strickland stated he would kill Paul if it were legal.
Shawn Strickland you’re embarrassing for trying to stop sneako like that

I hate bullies. I was bullied and then was the bully sometimes in my YouTuber days. But now all my energy is focused on Boxing Bullies @Boxingbullies and helping the youth.

But when I see someone like Strickland constantly bullying people, it’s time to bully back.
Actually Jake I'll make you a better deal because money can't buy happiness and you have plenty of it and youre still a cunt....... No cameras, me and you in a desert.... That would buy my happiness... No Instagram, no likes, no games.... Just you that's what I want.......

Real talk... jokes aside.. Jake Paul is an utter fucking joke..... You box small retired old mma fighters and you sell sugar water to kids.. If it were legal I'd take your fucking life with a smile on my face. Is there any place on this earth I can take this man's life and walk?
