Sneako managed to stay on his feet despite the onslaught from Sean Strickland, and the UFC fighter gave him his due credit.
Fans in the comments section were calling out Strickland for going too hard on someone who is not a professional. However, Sneako himself claimed he knew what he was getting into.
