Dricus Du Plessis Threatens He Will Sleep Both Alex Pereira and Sean Strickland

Dricus Du Plessis plans to “sleep” both Alex Pereira and Sean Strickland and he’s happy to let them decide which one goes night-night first.

After earning a win over Strickland in January to win the UFC middleweight title, ‘DDP’ scored his first successful defense last month, besting Israel Adesanya in Perth via a fourth-round submission victory via RNC.

Immediately following the win, Pereira, who held the 185-pound title before moving up to light heavyweight, revealed his plan to move back down to middleweight one last time to challenge Du Plessis. While a rematch with Strickland is almost certainly up next for Du Plessis, the South African star is more than happy to beat down both fighters.

As for who’s first, he doesn’t really care.

“@AlexPereiraUFC you and you boyfriend @SStricklandMMA can have a domestic dispute on who gets slept first,” Du Plessis wrote on X.

Du Plessis vs. Strickland 2 is on the horizon as Pereira marches toward his third title defense of 2024

With Alex Pereira already booked for his third title defense of 2024 on October 5 and Strickland choosing to sit out until he gets his rematch with Du Plessis, the likeliest scenario is that we’ll see ‘DDP’ vs. Strickland 2 going down sometime in early 2025.

The two first met last January at UFC 297 when ‘Tarzan’ entered the bout as the middleweight champion. The pair delivered an entertaining five-round scrap that saw ‘DDP’ walk away with the win via a very close and highly contestable split decision.

Strickland lobbied for an immediate rematch but was forced to go back down the rankings and get another win first. He did exactly that in June, defeating Paulo Costa at UFC 302.

Machine Gun Kelly is tired of hearing Sean Strickland run his mouth.

While in Las Vegas for a Power Slap event during Super Bowl weekend, Strickland and MGK had a brief run-in where the former UFC middleweight champion made fun of the musician’s overall appearance, likening him to a “goth South Park character” before being escorted out of the facility.

Since then, Strickland has regularly thrown shade at the Grammy-nominated artist in interviews and on social media prompting MGK’s longtime partner, actress Megan Fox, to reach out to Strickland via DM.

During an appearance on the IMPAULSIVE podcast with Logan Paul, MGK was asked about his run-in with Strickland and the UFC star’s never-ending barrage of verbal jabs. Machine Gun Kelly took it as an opportunity to send a direct and very clear message to Strickland

“There’s another funny factor of the art of me standing or just existing, it makes people furious.” MGK said when asked about his run-in with Strickland. “I don’t know this guy, from a crumb of bread. I didn’t know who this guy was when I met him, but I got hit afterward that he’s insanely racist, and homophobic, and not my type of guy. So I would’ve never wanted to shake hands with him in the first place.

“But, he also is just a representative of every person who is just too scared to be themselves. If you’re comfortable as yourself, you don’t care how anyone else is, or who they are. He’s so dumb, I’m going to tell him right now. You should not keep saying stuff, because it just makes me look better. But you’re going to keep saying stuff… Learn this, shut the f*ck up, and don’t speak on me anymore… You’re a f*cking idiot” (h/t BJPenn.com).

Sean Strickland snaps back at Machine Gun Kelly

Unsurprisingly, Sean Strickland snapped back at the “f*cking weirdo” in yet another scathing rant on X,

“Getting lectured by a guy who drinks blood and wears a purse,” Strickland wrote. “Dawg you had a mid life crisis and tattooed your entire body. The “the x community of intolerance” yall I’d hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this cunt… Go back to cutting yourself you fucking weirdo.”

As of this writing, MGK has not reacted to Strickland’s latest comment.

Sean Strickland Responds To Machine Gun Kelly’s ‘Big Bro Advice’ As Rapper Wanted UFC Star To Not Talk About Him Anymore

It is common knowledge in MMA circles that Sean Strickland has a rocky relationship with Colson Baker, a.k.a. Machine Gun Kelly. Back in February 2024, the former UFC champ ran into the rapper during a Power Slap event where he commented about MGK’s outfit. The interaction went south quickly and Strickland had to be escorted […]

The interaction went south quickly and Strickland had to be escorted out of the venue. Since then, he’s frequently talked about Kelly’s clothes and lifestyle. Megan Fox, who’s currently dating Baker, even reached out to Strickland via Instagram DMs regarding some of these remarks.

MGK finally broke the silence on Strickland and advised the fighter to not talk about him anymore. Unsurprisingly, the former UFC middleweight kingpin already has a response…

Machine Gun Kelly Asks Sean Strickland To ‘Shut The F** Up’ After Calling Him Racist And Homophobic

Baker opened up about his interactions with Strickland on the latest episode of IMPAULSIVE podcast, hosted by Logal Paul and Mike Majlak. The hip-hop artist claimed that he would’ve avoided meeting the UFC star in the first place if he had been aware of the latter’s racist and homophobic statements.

“I don’t know this guy from a crumb of bread, Right, I didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterward that he’s like, insanely racist and homophobic and just not my type of guy so I would have never even wanted to shake hands him with him in the first place. But, he also is just a representative of every person who’s too scared to just be themselves because if you’re comfortable as yourself, you don’t care who anybody else is.”

Kelly then suggested Strickland to live his life and stop commenting on him. The rapper called the UFC fighter insecure for caring about other people’s appearance and verbally bashing them for it.

Baker stated that Strickland would most likely respond to his aforementioned remarks which would be more detrimental to the fighter.

“He’s so dumb that I’m going to tell him right now. You should not keep saying stuff because it just makes me look better but you’re going to keep saying stuff so I know that you’ll react and say more things but you’re, you just shouldn’t. As a person who’s just giving you big bro advice, learn this, shut the f**k up! And don’t speak on me anymore. And live your life, but you won’t, and I’m going to continue laughing at you because you’re a f*****g idiot.”

MGK wasn’t wrong as Strickland has already replied to him on X. Yet again, he has targeted the rapper for his tattoos and accused him of drinking blood. He also claimed to be more comfortable hanging out with online trolls instead of the singer.

Getting lectured by a guy who drinks blood and wears a purse.. Dawg you had a mid life crisis and tattooed your entire body. The "the x community of intolerance" yall I'd hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this cunt… Go back to cutting yourself you fucking weirdo https://t.co/4CY2L7gypT

All in all, it is safe to assume that the beef between Strickland and MGK is far from over. Fans of both celebrities are already engaging in heated online debates and it is unlikely that the two sides will find common ground soon.

Belal Muhammad insults Sean Strickland’s conservative fighting style

Newly-minted undisputed welterweight champion, Belal Muhammad has once more taken aim at arch-rival, former middleweight champion, Sean Strickland —…

Newly-minted undisputed welterweight champion, Belal Muhammad has once more taken aim at arch-rival, former middleweight champion, Sean Strickland — this time poking fun at the number one contender’s striking style.

Muhammad, who most recently headlined UFC 304 at the end of July in Manchester, England — turned in a stunning unanimous decision win over defending champion, Leon Edwards — landing a one-sided judging win over the Birmingham native in their rematch to crown himself as the new gold holder.

And as for former middleweight gold holder, Strickland is expected to challenge Dricus du Plessis in a title rematch next, having most recently retained his status as number one contender in a decision win over former championship challenger, Paulo Costa in the co-main event of UFC 302 in May in Newark, New Jersey.

Linked with returns against the likes of former undisputed champion, Kamaru Usman, as well as the surging unbeaten, Shavkat Rakhmonov — who has yet to go the distance, finishing all eighteen opponents in his unbeaten run in mixed martial arts.

Belal Muhammad hits out at arch-rival, Sean Strickland

However, amid links to a return by the end of the year at UFC 310, Belal Muhammad has once more hit out as the style of Strickland — laying out a potential game plan the former would use if they ever shared the Octagon in the future.

“He (Sean Strickland) would throw 95 teeps at me every round then wait till 6 seconds left in the fight and start throwing jumping teeps and yelling like he’s wild,” Belal Muhammad posted on his official X account about Sean Strickland.

While Strickland has felt the wrath of the undisputed welterweight champion, Muhammad — who hypothesized a potential fight in the future, he himself ruled out a potential rematch with light heavyweight best, Alex Pereira in the future — claiming he would likely just get knocked out again.

I’m not scared of Alex (Pereira), but my chin — I’ll just go to sleep, it’s a weird thing,” Sean Strickland told the Brazilian’s head coach, Plinio Cruz during a recent video. “For me to knock Alex out, he has to do something really stupid. If you gave me one free shot and you said give everything you can, I’m not knocking him out.”

Off the back of his impressive unanimous decision win over the returning former middleweight title challenger, Jared Cannonier overnight in the main event of UFC Vegas 96, surging Brazilian contender, Caio Borralho is confident he is next in line to challenge for gold against Sean Strickland, however, is not picking against current champion, Dricus du Plessis anymore.

Borralho, who entered his first headliner under the banner of the promotion overnight as the number twelve ranked middleweight contender, managed to turn in a Fight of the Night display with perennial contender, Cannonier — en route to an impressive unanimous judging win over the course of five rounds.

And extending his winning spree to an impressive seven straight fights since his landing in the UFC from Dana White’s Contender Series, Borralho has staked his claim for a shot at the middleweight crown next, with former champion, Strickland expected to take on South African star, du Plessis first and foremost.

Following his win over Cannonier, Maranhao native, Borralho suggested he fight for the title in his next outing — but was unsure if he would be fighting du Plessis or challenger, Strickland.

“I got (Sean Strickland) winning this fight [with Dricus du Plessis], because I think Strickland won the last one, but maybe he left a little bit inside the Octagon that he could do a little bit more,” Caio Borralho told assembled media after UFC Vegas 96. “But MMA is crazy. I always bet against Dricus and he always wins, so I’m not betting on the next one.”

Let those guys (Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland) kill themselves and I’m the next one [title challenger at middleweight],” Caio Borralho explained.]

Adding Cannonier to an impressive run of victories, Borralho had previously knocked out Paul Craig and submitted Michal Oleksiejczuk, to go with other impressive decisions over Armen Petrosyan, Abus Magomedov, and Makhmud Muradov to name a few.
