Former UFC middleweight champion, Sean Strickland has been in an ongoing Twitter (now X) feud with influencer-turned-boxer, Jake Paul. Now, Strickland seems to be diving into another feud with a musician.

Former UFC champion, Sean Strickland, recently had an awkward interaction with musician Machine Gun Kelly at the Power Slap 6 event. Though at the moment, unsure of what words were exchanged, it didn’t seem like the duo had a respectable talk with one another.

Strickland, after the awkward interaction with Colson Baker, posted a tweet, claiming that he had “almost hit a vampire” at the event. That supposed ‘Vampire’ turns out to be none other than Machine Gun Kelly himself.

During the post-match press conference of the Power Slap 6 event, Dana White was asked about the altercation between the two. In response to the question, he said, “You can’t bring, Sean Strickland around any other human beings. You know what I mean? It has nothing to do with Machine Gun Kelly. It’s about humans.”

Interestingly, this is not MGK’s first run-in with a UFC star. Back at the 2021 VMAs held at the Barclays Center, UFC superstar Conor McGregor and Machine Gun Kelly seemingly got into an altercation. Clips of McGregor throwing a punch at the rapper went viral soon after but both parties were reluctant to share the reason behind the scuffle.

Machine Gun Kelly is unfortunately not the only person that Strickland has been beefing with. Just sometime earlier, the former middleweight champ had been going back and forth with Jake Paul.

Strickland shuts down Jake Paul after Sneako beatdown

The former UFC champion went all out during his sparring with Sneako, even leaving the streamer with a bloody nose. Superstar and boxer, Jake Paul took it upon himself to call out Sean Strickland to a boxing match after watching the sparring clip. He even proposed to give Strickland a million USD, if he won. The former champion didn’t take too kindly to the arrogance of ‘The Problem Child’ and responded in kind.

Strickland replied to Paul on his X (formerly Twitter) account. In his tweet, he wrote, “Actually Jake I’ll make you a better deal because money can’t buy happiness and you have plenty of it and youre still a c*nt…. No cameras, me and you in a desert… That would buy my happiness… No Instagram, no likes, no games…. Just you that’s what I want.”
