Jake Paul’s “Mistake” Against Sean Strickland Would End Ugly for Boxer Is What Fans Predict After Leaked DMs Drama

Sean Strickland is the type of fighter who would be ready to take on anyone, anywhere- Wrestlers, strikers, influencers, fans, or even prize-fighting boxers. It’s well-known now that Jake Paul is after any MMA fighter who would take on his challenge. He has so far, fought against Nate Diaz and came up victorious.

Apart from Diaz, Paul was in talks to fight up against Derek Brunson when he was still with the UFC. However, Dana White and Co., never really allowed that fight to come together. Now, he’s beefing with the former middleweight champion of the world, Sean Strickland.

Looks like Paul and ‘Tarzan’ have already gone over the whole thing before. In a series of leaked texts between Paul and Strickland, it seems like the two of them are all on board to go at each other. In fact, Paul asked the former champ to fight him even if it’s just sparring. Strickland, on the other hand, ensured Paul that he’d try his best to get Hunter Campbell of the UFC on board for a real fight:

“. . . it’s a typical story of these UFC guys who call me out and then go quiet. I said I’ll send you the PJ. Let me know where. We could spar for a million dollars. ‘Oh I would get sued by the UFC if I sparred Jake.’ But you just sparred Sneako, you could spar anyone contractually . . . I see a very insecure alpha male wannabe that’s hiding behind the tough man complex. He needs a hug.”

Paul said about Strickland on his podcast BS with Jake Paul. He claimed that Strickland believed that the promotion might take some serious action against him for going up against Paul even for a sparring matchup. This was not fully reflected in the leaked DMs. Meanwhile, fans had their own predictions for the fight.

While some believed the move was a mistake on Paul’s part, others sided with ‘Tarzan’ with comfort.

Meanwhile, others called the boxer out on his description of Strickland.

“A wanna be alpha male” that is hilarious coming from Jake Paul “

Some spoke about the nature of the conversations over the texts and the quick shift on the podcast.

“That conversation seems so fake idk if it’s just me or what”

“You’re respectful af to each other in the text message. Then talk smack on the pretend interview. This is all theatrics. These guys are friends. lol”

Some predicted a lot of zeroes adding the Strickland’s account.

“Sean about to get his biggest paycheck”

Others wanted to see Paul knocked out by one fighter or another.

“I do hope Strickland or Canelo just call this clowns bluff & give him what he deserves, to be on the receiving end of a KO, the end.”

Sean Strickland is yet to respond to all the drama that’s coming up around their supposed fight. The clip is still fresh but fans can rest assured, the former champ and accomplished trash-talker will certainly have things to say. Meanwhile, what are your predictions for this unlikely matchup?
