Did Sean Strickland go too far, or is this just the nature of the fight game?

Sean Strickland was challenged by a Navy SEAL for a sparring competition back when he called Navy SEALs for being delusional to think that they could take him on. Strickland asserted that the special forces might know how to fight but it’s just laughable to think that they could get the better of him in a fist fight. His rough take was taken cognizance of by a Navy SEAL, who took a dig at him for being a troll.

He said, “The weakest SEAL that has ever been created would destroy you in a street fight as I would. There are no rules, we are fighting for our life.” Later it was found out that the man who challenged Strickland was named Jimmy Watson. Strickland in response to the video stated that he accepted Watson’s challenge, however, he was unable to get in contact with him.

Well, months have passed since the incident, and seems like Sean Strickland finally got his hands on an ex-Navy Seal member. In his latest escapade, ‘Tarzan’ finally sparred against, Mitch Aguiar, who was an Ex-Navy SEAL and this ended badly as Strickland showcased what the difference was between normal fighters and a former champion.

‘Tarzan’ threw some hard punches at Aguiar which pressed him down to the cage. Despite his defeat, Jake Shields praised Aguiar, “Mitch Aguiar is a savage and would beat 99.9 percent of humans in a fight He decided he wanted to spar with Sean Strickland for 25 min He quickly learned there is a big difference between world champions but regardless he took a brutal beating and didn’t quit Sean obviously wasn’t looking for a Ko but still dished out a bad beating This is in round 5.” 

Strickland’s prowess was caught on camera and the MMA world couldn’t help but comment on it.

Have an interesting take?

4th of July is just coming up and witnessing Sean Strickland ending the Navy SEAL vs. MMA fighter debate was a bit sad at this moment. A social media user felt sorry for the Navy Seal.

“Bro beat down a Navy Seal 3 days before the 4th of July “

Sean Strickland has a career record of 29 victories and 6 defeats. He is one of the most dominant fighters in the middleweight division but still, many believe that he lacks conviction against opponents such as Alex Pereira. Despite that Strickland is riding a one-fight winning streak, and a fan echoed the same emotion.

“buddy aint keep this same energy with Pereira or Chimaev always bullying lower level people”

The last time Strickland sparred against a non-MMA guy, he obliterated him and left him so bloodied that his team had to intervene to stop Strickland. He sparred against YouTuber Sneako.

“Sean took it easier on a Navy Seal than he did Sneako, that’s respect.”

Furthermore, a social media user emphasized that Sean Strickland would not last in the Navy Seal hell training which span for more than 24 weeks.

“No shit , he’s not trained to specifically be a 25 min mma fighter. Take Sean to the seal side of things and same thing will happen.”
