There’s a rather peculiar rivalry going on around in the MMA world and it’s not what you expect it to be. The rivalry is between Sean Strickland and random influencers. The former middleweight champion recently had a hard sparring session with popular streamer Sneako and it ended up in a really brutal beatdown. Sneako survived that beating, however, seems like more influencers are in for a boxing match with ‘Tarzan.’

Sneako’s beating was a call that influencers should not cross their paths with pro fighters but seems like it had the opposite effect. Now, famous influencer Bryce Hall has challenged the former middleweight champion, and to everyone’s surprise, Strickland has agreed to spar with Hall.

A few days after the beating, Sneako and Bryce Hall met at an event. They were heard having a discussion about Strickland being rough on influencers – “Actually seeing that sh*t made me mad… I would love to do that to kind of show him; I know this is crazy to say, but if he and I box, it would be different. I can actually put a sh*t ton of money on it. It would be very, very close. It was f**king sc*mmy, man. This influencer is down to spar Sean Strickland. I’m only 180 pounds, Sean Strickland, and he can go as hard as he wants.”

‘Tarzan’ surprised everyone by accepting Hall’s challenge. The former middleweight champion shared a screenshot of his conversation with Bryce Hall. In the screenshot, Strickland challenged Hall to a matchup and asked him to be a man for once. Interestingly, this is not the only challenge Strickland received after the beatdown on Sneako. The former middleweight champion is now a target for influencer-boxer Jake Paul.

After Strickland’s spar with Sneako went viral. Jake Paul went after the UFC star and held nothing back. He accused Strickland of being a bully and offered him a million dollars for a fight. Calling Strickland a “horrid boxer,” Paul placed a bet that Strickland would have to tattoo ‘Betr’ on him if we were to be dropped in the spar.

Strickland responded in kind, calling out ‘The Problem Child’ to a meeting in a desert between just the two of them. ‘Tarzan’ would love to get his hands on Paul but he could care less about cameras and putting on a spectacle.
