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.
The Navy SEALs’ training is covered in a number of online videos. Even today, many individuals attempt to complete those routines, especially Hell Week, one of the hardest routines.
Sean Strickland, a middleweight fighter in the UFC, thinks the Navy SEALs, who survive brutal regimes, won’t make it through a week of training with him.
