UFC middleweight Sean Strickland is well-known for not shying away from a confrontation, and his latest skirmish involves a war of words with rapper Machine Gun Kelly, who recently targeted him in a tweet. In his post, MGK provocatively suggested that Strickland was envious of the rapper’s career accomplishments.
In response, Strickland unleashed a barrage of tweets, vehemently denying any jealousy. “Jealous? Of your ‘success’? Please, you’re a fading artist struggling to produce another hit,” Strickland argued. He emphasized his own success as a professional fighter who has consistently outperformed his competition. “You’re a former celebrity trying to stay significant,” he added.
Further escalating the confrontation, Strickland blasted MGK’s musical output, dismissing it outright. “Your tunes are terrible—I wouldn’t bother listening even if it were free. You’re nothing but a laughingstock, MGK. Your career has faltered, and now you’re resorting to challenging a genuine fighter to remain in the limelight,” he declared.
The fiery exchange has captivated observers across social media, prompting a flurry of reactions. While some enthusiasts are intrigued by the idea of the two settling their scores in a more physical forum, others believe MGK is merely seeking publicity and advise Strickland to pay him no mind.
This developing rivalry between Strickland and MGK shows no signs of abating and continues to stir up significant public and media interest.
