Sean Strickland is not the one to back out from any fight and right now he wants Jake Paul.

The UFC middleweight contender Strickland is one of the toughest guys on the UFC roster. He is currently on a five-fight win streak and also preparing for his next challenge. The number 7 ranked middleweight will take on Jack Hermansson at UFC Fight Night 201 in a fight that can prove to be very important for him. However, it seems like Strickland is also interested in taking on Jake Paul.

Paul recently offered Jorge Masvidal $5 million to fight him in a boxing match, which surprisingly Masvidal rejected. But Strickland is ready to jump and fight ‘The Problem Child,’ and it to him it doesn’t even matter how and where. In a tweet, he wrote, @jakepaul you offer me 5 MILLION to fight you, fuck we can fly to a deserted island in international water and fight to the death on YouTube for that kind of money… bareknuckle, gloves, knives, clubs…. lol! Let’s fucking go. @GamebredFighter.”

This fight, if made, is something that will get the fight fans excited. It might not be the biggest fight from a marketing perspective, but will definitely be an interesting one. Strickland is known to be one of the hardest working guys in the sport, and will for sure go out and try to punish Paul.

A fan even questioned Masvidal liking Strickland’s above-mentioned tweet. And said why do it if he doesn’t actually want to fight.

We don’t make even close to 5 mil – Sean Strickland

Strickland replied to the tweet by the fan and said that UFC fighters don’t even make close to the kind of money Paul offered. He appreciated UFC for what they have done for him. However, hurting Jake Paul for that kind of money, he would not refuse.
