“It’s Embarrassing”: Before Jake Paul’s $1 Million Callout, Slim Albaher Ripped Apart Sean Strickland Over Sneako Sparring Debacle
Follow Us
The way it stands, Sean Strickland can’t be faulted for thinking, where at all did it go wrong? He had clearly beaten the nightmares out of Nico Kenn De Ballinthazy, or more commonly, Sneako. The famed YouTuber, TikToker, and ‘Tarzan’ faced off in a live-streamed boxing match. The result unfolded as expected. However, the former UFC champion’s inability to force an early stoppage against a fighting novice has put him at the receiving end of call-outs and slams.
He accepted the challenge when the influencer called him out for a bout. The duo met at the state-of-the-art UFC Performance Institute. Strickland pinned Sneako completely to total dominance. However, the latter stood his ground, never going down to the canvas. But that was enough for ‘Tarzan to receive a million-dollar offer. He ended up facing a little scorn and criticism as well on the sidelines.

“It’s embarrassing that he went that hard and still couldn’t knock him down,” ‘The Hitman’ wrote, taking up Happy Punch‘s post. Clearly, he was unhappy that the ‘Tarzan’ couldn’t knock down a person with barely any knowledge of fighting.

The footage of the fight has been going viral ever since it came up. Sean Strickland, a well-known hitter, barely gave the influencer any chance. It was text-book pummeling, and Sneako looked vulnerable with each passing second. Quite a few towels were thrown in to stop the fight, but it continued. But it had to be stopped. The end to Sneako’s misery came only when Strickland’s training partner, Forrest Griffin, intervened.

Just like Sean Strickland, Slim Albaher also closed 2023 on a happy note. He participated in two fights last year, winning both. Especially the second triumph came up against fellow YouTuber and TikToker of renown Salt Papi.
Jake Paul: Fight me! ‘Tarzan’
Roughly two hours after his post came, ‘The Problem Child’ joined. His grouse against Sean Strickland echoed similar sentiments. “Shawn Strickland, you’re embarrassing for trying to stop Sneako like that; you weren’t even able to drop someone with no experience while going all out,” said Jake Paul.
Then, blasting the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt for his poor boxing skills, he offered ‘Tarzan’ $1 million for a live-streamed fight in Puerto Rico: “You’re a horrid boxer that only picks on inexperienced people.. I’ll fly you to PR, and we can fight on camera… If you win, I’ll give you $1 million (half your net worth).”

But Jake Paul had a precondition as well, and he felt that the former UFC middleweight champion might also eventually back out like Paddy Pimblett. ‘The Problem Child’ said, “But if you get dropped, you have to get Betr tattooed on you. DM me. But just like Paddy, I’m guessing you’ll find a way to run.”
Seemingly, Sean Strickland responded back to ‘The Problem Child’. While stating his own terms and conditions for a fight, he assailed Jake Paul for the choice of fighters he picked—retired mixed martial artists. From winning a light heavyweight bout to becoming the middleweight champion, Anaheim, California-born mixed martial artist had an outstanding run last year. However, he lost his crown to Dricus du Plessis on January 20 this year in Toronto, Canada.
