‘David Goggins needs to shut the f*** up’ says UFC veteran, approved by Sean Strickland

Former UFC middleweight contender, Hector Lombard has hit out at former US Marine, David Goggins — urging the social media star to “shut the f*ck up” when it comes to fighting advice, after the latter previously served in the corner of former interim champion, Tony Ferguson.

Lombard, a former perennial contender in the middleweight ranks of the UFC, departed the promotion back in 2018 following a decision loss against former title challenger, Thales Leites in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Returning in mixed martial arts competition under the banner of the Gamebred Fighting Championship back in December of last year, Cuban powerhouse, Lombard landed a first round TKO win over Chris Sarro in his most recent outing in mixed martial arts.

And sharing his thoughts on the above-mentioned, David Goggins’ decision to help train Ferguson for his showdown with Paddy Pimblett at the end of last year, Lombard had some strong words for the former United States Marine Corps member — which was also backed up by former UFC middleweight champion, Sean Strickland.

“This is my opinion, and I could be wrong,” Hector Lombard told Calf Kick Sports. “But this is my opinion: David Goggins needs to shut the f*ck up. …You know I cannot even say something that will help the guy. If all you do is run — and I don’t even think he really runs, because you always run by yourself, okay. When you’re fighting, you’re fighting somebody else.”

“When you’re fighting, you’re fighting somebody else that is good,” Hector Lombard explained. “So when you beat the guy, everybody knows that you beat the guy — black strip, he is the top of the top.”

During his tenure in the UFC, former BKFC contender, Lombard would land notable wins over Rousimar Palhares, Nate Marquardt, and former title challenger, Jake Shields. Lombard also won the undisputed middleweight title under the banner of Bellator MMA during his time with the organization.

It’s rare that a week goes by where Sean Strickland isn’t starting up a new beef with someone via social media.

Whether he’s trading words with someone online or causing controversy by sparring someone that is not skilled enough to be in there with him, the former UFC middleweight champion is always producing talking points.

His latest public feud has been with public speaker and athlete David Goggins, due to comments that Strickland made about Goggins’ military career.

Goggins went as far as to challenge the 185-pound contender to three days of spending a training camp with him in exchange for three sparring rounds in boxing.

One fellow member of the roster is tired of Strickland’s antics and believes that he is only doing this to make himself heard – since he isn’t the champion anymore.

Belal Muhammad Says Sean Strickland Is Chasing Clout After Losing UFC Title

Belal Muhammad spoke in a recent interview with The Schmo about his thoughts on Strickland’s recent beef with Goggins.

The number one welterweight contender has never seen eye-to-eye with the often unfiltered former champion and this is no different.

Muhammad, who is set to challenge Leon Edwards for the title at UFC 304 later this month, is very much over what he sees as Strickland’s attempts to grab more attention.

He also dared Strickland to take Goggins up on his offer in order to really put his money where his mouth is.

“I wouldn’t call it a [real] beef. That’s what Sean is right? He’s a troll. Nobody cares what he says anymore because he doesn’t have the belt anymore. so now he’s just starting to attack these other guys with bigger followings and things like that, just to get attention.

“I knew what he was from the beginning, he’s fake. He’s not this tough guy that he says he is or this crazy guy that he says he is. He’s just doing stuff for clout and if he’s a man, challenge David Goggins dude… David Goggins’ workout, let’s see if you push through. Let’s see how big your heart is.”

Belal Muhammad wants Sean Strickland to put his money where his mouth is.

Last week, Strickland found himself in a war of words with ex-Navy SEAL David Goggins. The fitness guru and ultramarathon runner issued a challenge to the former UFC middleweight champion — three days of training for three rounds of sparring.

It sounded like a solid deal, especially after all the trash Strickland had talked about Navy SEALs not being able to hang with him in the gym. However, ‘Tarzan’ backed down pretty quickly, apologizing to Goggins and explaining that he was just “bored and angry” while waiting around for his next UFC title shot.

On the other hand, top-ranked welterweight contender Belal Muhammad believes Strickland showed the world exactly who he is by tucking his tail and running.

“I wouldn’t call it a beef. That’s what Sean is, right? He’s a troll,” Muhammad told The Schmo. “Nobody cares what he says anymore because he doesn’t have the belt anymore. So now he’s just starting to attack all these other guys, people with bigger followings and things like that, just to get attention.

“I knew what he was from the beginning, he’s fake, he’s not this tough guy that he says he is, not this crazy guy that he says he is. He’s just doing stuff for clout. I mean if he’s a man, you challenged David Goggins, do David Goggins’ workout, let’s see if you can push through. Let’s see how big your heart is” (h/t Sherdog).

Belal Muhammad closes in on first UFC title fight

Muhammad will attempt to cash in on his first UFC title fight on July 27 when he heads to Manchester for a main event matchup with reigning welterweight world champion Leon Edwards. The fight has been a long time coming for ‘Remember The Name’ who is sitting on a nine-fight win streak, his last victory coming against Gilbert Burns all the way back in May 2023.

In December, ‘Rocky’ successfully defended his title for the second time with a decisive decision victory over Colby Covington at UFC 296.

Edwards and Muhammad previously met at a Fight Night event in 2021, but the bout came to an end 18 seconds into the second round when Edwards inadvertently poked ‘Bully B’ in the eye. With him unable to continue, the fight was declared a no-contest.

More than three years later, they’ll run it back in the UFC 304 headliner with the 170-pound crown hanging in the balance.

Sean Strickland is backing down from his fiery feud with David Goggins.

After the former UFC middleweight champion made some disparaging remarks about the U.S. Navy SEALs, Goggins, a former member of the elite military unit, offered a challenge to Strickland — three days of training in exchange for three rounds of boxing.

The two spent the next few days snapping back at one another on social media with Goggins laying down an ultimatum in his last video message.

In an interesting twist, Strickland issued an apology to Goggins, noting that his online attack on the ultramarathon runner came about because he was “bored and angry” while sitting on the sidelines waiting for his next shot at gold inside the Octagon.

“Ok fine… I’m sorry Goggins you’re cool I’m just bored and angry… You can show up but if not it’s cool man you’re a solid runner, you have some cool quotes… My mental stability is coming back lol,” Strickland wrote on Instagram.

“Hey guys, if I had to be completely honest I think I’m just bored and angry,” Strickland says in the video. “I’m the number one contender, I got to wait for Izzy [Adesanya] and Dricus [Du Plessis] to get my shot. What does one do? I’m bored and angry. I’m training, I’m in shape, but what does one do? I’m just bored and angry.”

Strickland echoed a similar sentiment on X.

“Alright you guys I’m done making fun of Goggins, I trained, I feel good,” Strickland wrote. “Clarity I have to wait for Dricus and Izzy to fight.. I’m on the bench I’m just bored and angry and hurting people makes me feel good inside lol.. You’re cool goggins… keep on jogging my man….”

Perhaps we’ll still see Strickland and Goggins meet up at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas someday, but for now, it appears as though both men are content to go their separate ways.

Sean Strickland is Chomping at the bit for his next UFC Title opportunity

Though no official announcements have been made, Sean Strickland should be the next man in line for a shot at the middleweight strap, just as soon as reigning champion Dricus Du Plessis handles some business with former two-time titleholder.

The two will tussle at UFC 305 on August 17 when the promotion heads back to Perth, Australia. There, Du Plessis will put his title on the line for the first time since securing a somewhat controversial split decision victory over Strickland at UFC 297 in January.

With Strickland bouncing back against Paulo Costa in June, ‘Tarzan’ re-established himself as the top-ranked contender in the division and is banking on challenging the winner of next month’s main event in The Land Down Under.

Ex-Navy SEAL David Goggins escalates feud with Sean Strickland, reveals DMs sent to the former UFC champ

David Goggins is done with all the trash-talking and video messages.

Earlier this week, the former U.S. Navy SEAL and ultramarathon runner found himself in a fiery feud with former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland. It all seemingly started with ‘Tarzan’ shared a video of him pummeling a Navy SEAL during a five-round sparring session.

Strickland has also made some disparaging remarks regarding the SEALs in the past, suggesting that not a single member of the elite military unit could hang with him in the gym for a single day.

That prompted Goggins to issue a challenge to the outspoken superstar, inviting Strickland to train with him for one of his infamous ‘Hell Week‘ camps.

Since then, the two have gone back and forth on social media, but little action beyond that has been taken. Reaching out one more time, Goggins agreed to step inside the cage with Strickland if ‘Tarzan’ could make it through three days of his brutal training regimen that pushed Tony Ferguson to the limit.

“This is my last video about this. Sean Strickland, I know you’re doing all this for clickbait,” Goggins said in a video posted on Instagram. “We had a DM the other day, me and you back and forth. I was pretty much DM’ing you because you called me a bitch, talking about my military career, and going out here like you said in your DM and trying to be a clown. You’re an MMA fighter and also you’re a comedian.

“I’m not much of a comedian at all. I’m an old-school man, bro. So you go out there calling people a b*tch and sh*t like that, saying no Navy SEAL can hang with your training. You were born in 1991 I believe. I was born in 1975. Talk about me being old, me being beat up. Once again, I know you’re trying to clickbait all this stuff, but I’m an old-fashioned man.”

From there, Goggins revealed a DM that he sent to Strickland which ‘Tarzan’ has not yet responded to.

“You have yet to respond to his, so at any time you want to train with me, I am ready to train with you,” Goggins added. “I am done with the videos. Ya’ll can keep on tagging me on TikTok and all this other sh*t… Sean, it’s in your court.”

Sean Strickland responds to David Goggins’ final challenge

It didn’t take long for Strickland to issue a response on social media, letting Goggins know that if he’s lookin’ to go, he’s not hard to find.

“Cracks me up to hear David Garggle Goggins rant… “I’m old school” as he’s on tiktok “let’s handle this like men” Ok sure,” Strickland wrote on X. “I’m in Vegas, you’re in Vegas….. I train at the same gym everyday.. IM EASY TO FIND! You on the other hand…. you just live on tiktok….location?”
