A Navy Seal has responded to former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland.
Strickland is known for being controversial because he doesn’t have a filter. He has garnered a fanbase due to his authenticity, but even some of his fans criticized him over recent comments about Navy Seals. Here’s what Strickland said on social media (h/t MMAMania).
“I don’t think there’s one f—king Navy Seal who could survive a week training with me,” said Strickland. “I’m kind of sick of seeing it, cause you guys think you’re badass, come train with me for a week. I’ll show you what’s up, I’ll f—king break you.”

“Sean we get it, you’re a badass bro. But check it out, your training partners get millions of dollars and they actually live. My swim buddies, they die every single year. Do you have any idea what the means? We’ve already proven that any kind of beatdown will not break us, but our training will simply just end your career, Sean. I’m talking about skin grafts on the thighs.
“You talk about taking people’s souls from their body. Well, me and my boys, we’ve actually taken a lot of real souls from people. You know what I’m saying bro?
“Your training is absolutely brutal man we get it, but your training doesn’t kill dudes every single year and that’s the world that we live in.
“My best advice for you, Sean, is to stay in the Octagon and keep fighting for that next purse and us SEALS will keep fighting for your freedom.”
Strickland usually responds to just about anybody who verbally challenges him, so it’ll be interesting to see if he has something to say to the Navy Seal.
Sean was most recently seen inside the Octagon last month. He lost the UFC middleweight title after he dropped a split decision against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297. What’s next for Sean Strickland inside the Octagon remains to be seen.
