Jake Paul shares DMs from Sean Strickland

Jake Paul took issue with former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland beating the hell out of social media influencer Sneako in a sparring session earlier this month.  He offered Strickland $1 million to spar him.

The two went back and forth on social media with insults before Strickland threatened to kill “The Problem Child.”  During an appearance on BS w/ Jake Paul, the 27-year old shared DMs from Strickland 

“The guy seems to be having some sort a quarter-life crisis there and spazzing out on everyone trying to beat up some influencers and such,” Paul said about Strickland.  “It’s a typical story of these UFC guys who call me out and then go quiet.  I said I’ll send you to PJ.  I’ve got DMs.  I’ll put the DMs up on the screen.  I said I’ll send you to PJ.  Let me know where.  We could spar for a million dollars.”  

Paul did put DMs with Strickland up on the screen.  “Can you come next week?  Any day works!  Will send you a plane,” Paul DM’ed Strickland.  Strickland responded, “I must my Twitter just seen this… What about a real fight?  Idk if I can get the UFC on board but with their involvement I think we can make it happen.  Conor did it with Mayweather…”  

Their conversation ended with Paul saying, “They’ll never let you fight me but you can ask them.  I’m here ready to spar or fight lmk.”  Strickland replied with, “I’m gonna to talk to Hunter about a fight.  Man that is a big f**king paycheck let me see what I can do.”  Paul replied with a thumbs up emoji.

Paul pointed out that Strickland can spar anyone that he wants, even social media influencers.  

“All of a sudden it’s, ‘Oh, I would get sued by the UFC if I sparred Jake,’ but you just sparred Sneako.  You could spar anyone.  Contractually, in your UFC contract, it says nothing about sparring,” Paul said.  

“So you spar an influencer but all of a sudden when I challenge you and want to send you a private jet he’s making up excuses saying he’s going to get sued by people.  Spazzing on MGK for no reason.  Even Dana White, I disagree with Dana a lot on many, many things but we agree also on a lot of things.  Even Dana himself said, ‘You can’t put Sean Strickland around any human being.’  

“I feel bad for the guy.  I see a very insecure, lost, wannabe like alpha male that’s hiding behind the tough man complex.  He needs a hug.”
