Sean Strickland Threatens Jake Paul's Life As The YouTuber Maybe Pushed Him A Bit Too Much
Jake Paul is notoriously known for running his mouth and getting away with things. However, this time he may have gone too far after the YouTuber-turned-boxer called out UFC juggernaut Sean Strickland of all people.
And now Sean Strickland wants to hurt Jake Paul, badly.
So much so that the former UFC Middleweight Champion Strickland even threatened to "take Paul's life"
JAKE PAUL STARTED IT, SEAN STRICKLAND MAY END IT
It all started after Strickland absolutely obliterated livestreamer and influencer ‘Sneako' during a livestreamed sparring session on Friday. When I mean obliterated, I mean thank God it was a timed session because Sneako would have been known as "Sneak-Oh My God What Happened To Your Face!" if the matchup was allowed to continue.
Jake Paul however, couldn't hold back from stirring things up like he always does. Immediately after the sparring session was over, Paul tweeted Strickland (after spelling his name wrong as ‘Shawn’) and called the UFC star an embarrassment as well as a ‘horrid boxer that only picks on inexperienced people.' Jake then offered Sean $1 million to fight on camera.
SEAN STRICKLAND WENT BIZZERK ON JAKE PAUL
"If it were legal, I'd take your f***ing life with a smile on my face. Is there any place on Earth I can take this man's life and walk [away from prison]?" Strickland tweeted.
But Strickland wasn't done yet. The pro-gun, Canada-hating, free-speech loving, MMA fighter had more to say to the YouTuber-turned-boxer troll Paul.
"Actually Jake I'll make you a better deal because money can't buy happiness and you have plenty of it and you're still a c**t....... No cameras, me and you in a desert.... That would buy my happiness... No Instagram, no likes, no games.... Just you that's what I want," the 28-6 fighter wrote.
In the words of iconic Anchorman Ron Burgundy, "Welp, that escalated quickly."
JAKE MAY REGRET THIS
Does Strickland come across as unhinged here? Absolutely - it's because he is.
I've covered and worked with the UFC for years. When I tell you that Strickland isn't playing around, it's true. Sure, in the past year or so, he has played into the hype as more cameras were around, and he was headlining bigger cards - just as Conor McGregor, Israel Adesanya, Colby Covington and Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblet regularly do to sell their fights.
But with Strickland, there is an underlining realness behind it, as his latest tweets show.
Meanwhile, you just know that Jake Paul, his brother Logan and their friends are laughing and ripping Strickland and mocking him with a couple "WTF?" involved as well. It's all they can do as Jake clearly stepped into it a bit further then he thought he was going to and when that happens the person usually tries to make a joke out of it.
As for Strickland, you can be sure that on Monday there will be a bit more controversy surrounding his comments. I'm sure some suits somewhere aren't too pleased with Sean's comments and the typical bloggers will claim outrage and how offended they are. But one person that is? Dana White - who just last week said he doesn't support 95% of what Strickland says, but he would still never tell a fighter what they can't or can't say.
Based on how the last 24 hours have gone so far, you can be sure that Strickland isn't going to stop anytime soon.
