A controversial UFC middleweight fighter recently issued a challenge of training with him for a week to Navy SEALs. It’s interesting that the combatant got a response on social media.

Some of the world’s toughest people are the Navy SEALs. Mostly because these groups endure difficult training programs before being recruited onto the squad. Maritime, jungle, urban, arctic, alpine, and desert settings are typically dangerous places where Navy SEALs operate.
