Sean Strickland and Ian Garry are still going at it with one another, and now, the feud has left the safety of social media. Recently, the two fighters caught each other at UFC Performance Institute and it didn’t end well, with reports suggesting that the two had to be separated by security. So what really happened?
Strickland and Garry have been beefing for about two weeks now. It all started going south with Strickland labeling Garry’s wife a “succubus”. Now, the young Irish star wants to try and take down the middleweight champ. But does the confines of a cage regulated by a referee and rules even matter anymore? Here’s the whole story.

“Guys I went to the PI today and I ran into the f*cking c*ck Ian Garry,” Sean said in his video. “Awkard mann, awkward, he looked at me hard you know. Security had to escort us around. F*cking awkward sh*t right, I’m laughing my a** off . . . I don’t wanna fight you bro, I’m happy for your success, I’m happy for you . . . if you look at me hard and that’s what you want. Slide up in the DMs bro.”
Strickland urged the fighters to settle their differences as directly as possible. Do you think this is a good solution? Both are accomplished fighters at different stages in their careers right now. It’s rather evident that they don’t mind taking it into a cage.
While Strickland has urged Garry to confront him head on, Garry has hinted at fighting Strickland in the Octagon. After the heated verbal spat on X and then in Strickland’s DMs, Garry uploaded a video. Here, he put out a clear threat to ‘Tarzan’ and his title too.

“I’ve got more people to prove wrong. It’s not fueling me. It’s p*ssing me off. Now we’ve got, I might have to win a middleweight world title before I win the welterweight.” Said Garry in one of his recent videos. Now, the two have clashed outside the cage. Will they eventually get a contract to fight for Strickland’s title. Many argue that there are other opponents for both that are more worthy. But settling the beef may just take precedence for fans and the fighters. What are your thoughts?
