Sean Strickland has once again proved to be the “craziest” MMA fighter in the world, as he calls for a $5 million dollar fight with Jake Paul in which he would be open to fight to the death.

Strickland is one of the most outspoken MMA fighter and quite possibly has the best Twitter out there. He is a must follow on for MMA fans. Here are some of his recent tweets:

Strickland is just an absolute savage on social media and really doesn’t care what anyone has to say about him. Strickland had to say something regarding Jake Paul’s $5 million offer to Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal wasn’t interested in fighting ‘The Problem Child’ for “chump change”, as he put it. He countered with his own proposition of Paul coming to the UFC to fight him instead.

Sean Strickland took to Twitter to take Jake Paul up on his offer

“Jake Paul, you offer me 5 MILLION to fight you, fuck we can fly to a deserted island in international water and fight to the death on YouTube for that kind of money… bareknuckle, gloves, knives, clubs…. lol! Let’s fucking go..”

This quote is coming from the same guy that said he wanted to take Belal Muhammad out to the desert and “do some weird sh*t to him”. Strickland was recently called a psychopath by ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley because of the things that he says. O’Malley may have hit the nail on the head with that assessment.

Strickland has a headlining fight coming up in a Feb. ‘Fight Night’ against Jack Hermansson. Strickland is currently on a five fight win streak with his most recent win being over Uriah Hall via unanimous decision. Hermansson on the other hand is coming off a unanimous decision win against Edmen Shahbazyan.

Sean Strickland Targets Dillashaw In Call For USADA Lifetime Bans

Sean Strickland is taking aim at all fighters who have failed USADA testing, especially TJ Dillashaw.

Sean Stickland is a fighter who is constantly in the news for things he says. Whether he is calling out fighters or starting drama, he is not one to hold back. His latest target is on all fighters who have failed drug testing. Strickland went on a Twitter rampage on Thursday to call out for stricter punishments for U.S Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) violations.

“Only thing @usantidoping is good at is catching broke fighters who can’t afford good shit lol! Steroids should be a lifetime ban,” Strickland wrote. “@TJDillashaw
is the absolute scum of the earth and should never be allowed to compete I’m the UFC again. You ruined people’s careers you’re scum.”

Strickland is mentioning TJ Dillashaw by name in his Tweet. Dillashaw has just returned from a two-year suspension after failing a USADA drug test back in 2019. Since the USADA program was instated by the UFC back in 2015, 127 fighters have been handed suspension due to violations, according to the USADA website. Of those 127 fighters, the length of suspensions can range from four months to two years. Some fighters have been simply given a warning.

Nick Diaz was famously suspended for five years following his drug test failures but that was by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, not USADA. Strickland does not see these timeframes as sufficient enough punishments. He would like to see any fighter testing positive be banned for life. He even went in on Jon Jones as well. When asked about Jones specifically, Strickland responded.

“Greatest fighter to ever step in the ufc completely erased by doping,” he wrote.

Jones was suspended by USADA for the use of Clomiphen and Letrozole back 2016. His suspension lasted one year. He was then suspended for 15 months in 2018 for Chlorine-substituted Anabolic Steroid.

Many fighters will just simply return to fighting following suspension. If it were up to Strickland, that would not be the case. Strickland has also recently targeted middleweight champion Israel Adesanya for what Strickland believes is physical evidence of drug use.

Do you think UFC fighters should receive harsher punishments for USADA violations?

Sean Strickland has intense emotions about his upcoming main event fight against Jack Hermansson.

Strickland’s fight against Hermansson is still two months out, but he already has intense emotions about how the bout could play out. The rising middleweight contender said recently that when he meets Hermansson in UFC’s February 5th headliner, he hopes to “take everything” from Hermansson, including his “soul.”

The ranked middleweight mentioned his violent plans in a recent interview.

“I think it’s going to be a kickboxing match. I think we’re going to stand and bang. Obviously, it’s a fight, anything happens, but like the fourth round I want to f*cking take his soul,” Strickland said to MMA Junkie. “I want to take everything from him. I want to watch him bleed. I want to watch him hurt. The fourth round I really just want to f*cking put it on him.”

Jack Hermansson Provides Big Challenge For Sean Strickland

While confident in his words and planning to bring violence, Strickland undoubtedly has a big challenge ahead of him, as Hermansson is a tough contender in his own right.

Hermansson has won three of his last five bouts. His recent losses have come against big names in the division like Jared Cannonier and Marvin Vettori. His last appearance was in May, where he beat prospect Edmen Shahbazyan on the judges’ scorecards.

A win for Strickland will continue his quick and successful rise up the 185-pound division. Strickland won his first UFC main event in July, defeating Uriah Hall on scorecards. The fight was his fourth victory since returning in the fall of 2020.

Strickland envisions a victory next year, potentially setting him up for a fight against the UFC middleweight champion. He expects the result of his fight, along with an upcoming clash between Derek Brunson and Jared Cannonier, to determine who is next in line for champion Israel Adesanya.

Who is your pick for the early February main event? Sean Strickland or Jack Hermansson?

Sean Strickland Accuses Adesanya Of Steroid Use In Profane Tirade

Sean Strickland has absolutely unloaded on Israel Adesanya. 

Sean Strickland has spent 2021 making waves. The UFC middleweight is on a five-fight win streak and has been slowly moving his way up the rankings over the last few years. But his in-cage prowess isn’t what’s been getting him attention. 

The stories surrounding Strickland lately have been about his bizarre interviews and social media actions. In recent months, the top-ten middleweight has revealed his neo-Nazi past, threatened violence towards those sharing the road with him, and divulged his desire to kill somebody in the Octagon. 

In a recent MMA Junkie interview, Strickland set his sights on the champion of his division, Israel Adesanya. Strickland believes the champ is using steroids and showing signs of gynecomastia (enlarged breasts in men) as a result (h/t MMA Junkie).

“Izzy’s a great fighter – he comes from kickboxing – have you ever seen a fighter with gyno for any other reason than that?” Strickland said. “Besides him, have you ever seen a fighter in the UFC that smokes weed that gets gyno? Ever? You can’t, because it doesn’t f*cking happen unless you cycle wrong. That’s a fact. We all know it. But regardless of the fact, Izzy’s a f*cking great fighter. We know that. That’s the fight I want.

“Izzy, I’ll come over dude. We can f*cking watch anime and you can put some f*cking testosterone in my ass. I’ll do it with you. Let’s f*cking go. With a needle, I think you guys do the stomach, right? Is that where you guys do, the stomach? You’re the expert on f*cking steroids. How’s it done?”

Last year, a photo of Adesanya’s pectoral went viral and lead to people claiming his flabby chest muscle was a result of steroid use. Adesanya addressed the drama, saying he had everything checked out, including a mammogram, but believes his condition may be due to “unhealthy living” and “smoking weed.” 

When Sean Strickland isn’t being an absolute madman on the web, he can be found in the cage. The American’s last trip to the Octagon saw him take a unanimous decision over Uriah Hall in July. He is next scheduled to face Jack Hermansson on February 5.

Sean Strickland Tells Israel Adesanya To Cycle Off: ‘I Don’t Want To F*cking Bring You A Bra’

Sean Strickland and Adesanya

Sean Strickland has accused Israel Adesanya of steroid use during his time with the UFC.

This wouldn’t be the first time a claim like this has been made against Adesanya, after Paulo Costa expressed the same opinion when the champion was suffering from swelling on his right pectoral muscle prior to their matchup. Costa claimed this was because Adesanya was coming off a cycle of steroids however it would go no further then just an accusation that ‘Stylebender’ explained away.

Strickland has really started to make his way into the middleweight division, the American is currently riding on the back of a five-fight winning streak and will be looking to make it six when he faces of against Jack Hermanson early in 2022.

Sean Strickland Has High Hopes For The Year Ahead

If he can past this next test, Sean Strickland plans to work his way through the division before ultimately reaching the champion, Israel Adesanya.

“At least a title shot (by the end of the year),” Strickland told MMA Junkie.

“I’m one of the hardest training fighters in the UFC and I’ll do everything I can to get to a title shot, and if it happens, let’s f*cking go, Izzy. I’m f*cking ready. Make sure to cycle off, though. I don’t want to f*cking bring you a bra if you don’t hit the right cycle.”

“Izzy’s a great fighter – he comes from kickboxing – have you ever seen a fighter with gyno for any other reason than that?” Strickland said. “Besides him, have you ever seen a fighter in the UFC that smokes weed that gets gyno? Ever? You can’t because it doesn’t f*cking happen unless you cycle wrong. That’s a fact. We all know it. But regardless of the fact, Izzy’s a f*cking great fighter. We know that. That’s the fight I want.”

“Izzy, I’ll come over dude. We can f*cking watch anime and you can put some f*cking testosterone in my ass. I’ll do it with you. Let’s f*cking go. With a needle I think you guys do the stomach, right? Is that where you guys do, the stomach? You’re the expert on f*cking steroids. How’s it done?”

Given the pre-fight medicals and other testing fighters have to do, do you believe many fighters are still using steroids?

Sean Strickland suffered what can only be described as a hilarious defeat at Submission Underground 29 on Sunday.

The UFC middleweight was in the main event slot against Andy Varela and appeared to be having fun throughout the grappling match.

At one point Strickland turned his back on his opponent and seemed to be gesturing to the crowd.

It proved to be a costly mistake as Varela leaped onto his back and sank in a rear-naked choke before forcing the tap.

Chael Sonnen was on commentary duties for the event and found the situation ridiculously funny.

Check out the match-ending sequence below.

Sean Strickland Didn’t Realise What He’d Signed Up For

After falling short at SUG 29, Strickland took to social media to signal his intent to stick to boxing in the future.

“I didn’t consent to that at all lol!!!!”, Strickland wrote alongside a post-fight video.

The 30-year-old claimed to not know he was in a submission wrestling match despite the fact the event was called Submission Underground.

“Lol!!!! You think I would of expected that but I thought we were wrestling! I guess I should of known from the name “SUBMISSION underground” lol!!!!

After breaking character for a moment to poke fun at the situation and exchange messages with amused fans, Strickland was back to his usual ways, conjuring potentially life-ending situations upon himself.

“Went to Portland because there is only so much porn and video games someone can handle in a weekend and I gotta be honest it saddens me life isn’t like a movie.. I just wish some random act of violence would happen to me while walking down the street. Minus the dying part lol,” Strickland wrote on Twitter.

Strickland then posted a video explaining the type of situation he hoped would happen.

“Not like a gun,” Stickland said. “A gun you’re fucked, man. You’re just f*cking dead but a crazy homeless guy with a knife, that sounds like a good time. The sh*tty part is it just hasn’t f*cking happened.”

Strickland is currently riding a five-fight win streak and is undefeated since stepping up to middleweight. Last time out the controversial contender picked up a victory over Uriah Hall, beating the Ultimate Fighter runner-up handily over five rounds.

Do you think Sean Strickland really didn’t know he was in a submission wrestling match at SUG 29?
