Sean Strickland believes it will be deadly for Jake Paul to fight him. Strickland and Paul have been at loggerheads for quite some time. The pair have been going back and forth on social media ever since the UFC fighter sparred with Sneako.
While Strickland was tough on Sneako, Paul reacted to the spar by calling the MMA fighter a ‘coward.’ Following that altercation, the pair have spoken about fighting each other and even organizing a sparring session, but to no avail.
Sean Strickland is on a mission to ‘destroy’ social media influencers who think they can fight. The two biggest names on his radar currently are Jake Paul and Bryce Hall. In a recent tweet, the former champion compared the UFC to the NFL and NBA before speaking about what might happen if Paul were to fight him:
“Here’s the thing guys. UFC isn’t the NFL or the NBA it’s absolutely cut throat. You don’t leave this sport happy or well. If I fought Jake Paul 1. I’d murder him but 2. We would make millions.

Something you guys experience at your jobs. The pay gap just keeps getting wider

Apart from mentioning how cut-throat the UFC is, Strickland was confident that he would ‘murder’ Jake Paul in the octagon. At the same time, he also insisted that both would be able to earn millions from such a fight.
Surprisingly, shortly after this Tweet, Sean Strickland revealed that he was checking out of X for a couple of days.
