Machine Gun Kelly launches fiery Sean Strickland rant, Strickland responds

Machine Gun Kelly didn’t pull his punches when responding to Sean Strickland‘s earlier comments.

Strickland has a knack for making enemies, often rubbing people the wrong way with his blunt personality. If it’s not a fellow UFC fighter, the 33-year-old is oftentimes feuding with celebrities — social media influencers being the most common opposition.

For the first time since Sean Strickland unleashed a barrage of abuse towards him, Machine Gun Kelly has responded.

“The art of me standing or existing makes people furious,” MGK said during an appearance on the ImPaulsive Podcast. “I don’t know this guy from a crumb of bread.”

“I didn’t now who he was when I met him. I got hip afterwards that he’s insanely racist and homophobic, and just not my type of guy. So, I would have never even wanted to shake hands with him in the first place.”

“He also is just a representative of every person who’s too scared to just be themselves. Because, if you’re comfortable as yourself, you just don’t care who anybody else is and how they are.”

Machine Gun Kelly then attempted to give advice to Strickland, though he doesn’t believe the UFC star will listen.

“He’s so dumb that I’m going to tell him right now. You should not keep saying stuff, because it just makes me look better.”

“But, you’re going to keep saying stuff. So, I know that you’ll react and say more things but you just shouldn’t.”

“As a person who’s just giving you big bro advice, learn this: shut the f*** up and don’t speak on me anymore and live your life. But, you won’t. And I’m going to continue laughing at you because you’re a f***ing idiot.”

Meeting in the flesh at a Power Slap event spurred one of the strangest internet feuds in recent history.

Strickland has been gunning for MGK’s head since their encounter. It didn’t take long for the UFC standout to respond to the rapper’s comments.

“Getting lectured by a guy who drinks blood and wears a purse,” Strickland said on X. “Dawg, you had a mid-life crisis and tattooed your entire body.”

“The ‘The X community of intolerance’ y’all, I’d hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this c***. Go back to cutting yourself you f***ing weirdo.”
