Jake Paul calls out UFC star Sean Strickland to spar and puts $1 million on the line YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul has called out former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland to spar, putting $1 million on the line if he loses. Sean Strickland\u2019s first title defense as middleweight champion at UFC 297 in January didn\u2019t go in his favor, as Dricus Du Plessis took home the belt after it was only in Strickland\u2019s possession from September 2023 \u2014 when he took down Israel Adesanya. Since losing the UFC title, Strickland has taken some time to relax and even mapped out a bizarre retirement plan for when his fighting days are done. The 32-year-old recently accepted an offer from controversial influencer Sneako to spar on February 9, and after completely demolishing him, Strickland has got himself caught up in a squabble with Jake Paul. Jake Paul wagers Sean Strickland $1 million to spar In a series of posts on Twitter\/X on February 9, Jake Paul called out Sean Strickland for being a \u201cbully\u201d in his spar with Sneako, who has no prior combat sport experience. The YouTube star then called out the former UFC champ to spar, offering to put a million on the line if he loses. Although if he wins, Strickland will need to get a tattoo of Jake Paul\u2019s betting company \u2018Betr\u2019. \u201cYou\u2019re embarrassing for trying to stop Sneako like that you weren\u2019t even able to drop someone with no experience while going all out,\u201d Paul said. \u201cYou\u2019re a horrid boxer that only picks on inexperienced people..\u201d He added: \u201cI\u2019ll fly you to PR and we can fight on camera\u2026 if you win I\u2019ll give you $1 million (half your net worth) But if you get dropped you have to get Betr tattooed on you. DM me. But just like Paddy I\u2019m guessing you\u2019ll find a way to run.\u201d Hitting back Strickland didn\u2019t entertain the offer at first, and instead responded by simply mocking \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 for losing to \u201cpart-time boxer\u201d Tommy Fury last year. \u201cYou lost to a part-time boxer\u2026.. lmao\u2026\u2026\u2026 don\u2019t forget that,\u201d he wrote. In another post, Strickland then called Paul a \u201cjoke\u201d before claiming he\u2019d gladly take his life if it were legal. \u201cReal talk\u2026 jokes aside.. Jake Paul is an utter fucking joke\u2026.. You box small retired old mma fighters and you sell sugar water to kids.. If it were legal I\u2019d take your fucking life with a smile on my face. Is there any place on this earth I can take this man\u2019s life and walk? Instead of Paul\u2019s proposed spar, Strickland suggested for the two to head out into the desert alone to settle their score, with no cameras and nobody else around. \u201cActually Jake I\u2019ll make you a better deal because money can\u2019t buy happiness and you have plenty of it and youre still a cunt\u2026\u2026. No cameras, me and you in a desert\u2026. That would buy my happiness\u2026 No Instagram, no likes, no games\u2026. Just you that\u2019s what I want,\u201d Strickland wrote. While it\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll actually see the two go blow-for-blow, we\u2019ll just have to see what comes of their little feud online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
