Ex-UFC champion Sean Strickland snaps back at U.S. Navy SEAL: ‘Ya’ll need a history lesson

Sean Strickland continues to make enemies with his outspoken, and often outlandish commentaries.

Earlier this month, he pummeled a popular online influencer, sent quasi-death threats to Jake Paul, and nearly got into it with Grammy-nominated music star Machine Gun Kelly. Now, the former middleweight world champion is picking a fight with the military. Specifically, U.S. Navy SEALs. In a video shared on social media, Strickland suggested that Navy SEALs — the U.S. Navy’s primary special operations force — couldn’t survive a week of training with him.

“I don’t think there’s one f*cking Navy Seal who could survive a week training with me,” Strickland said.
