Paul lately known as ‘Tarzan’ out on social media after video footage of the previous middleweight champion pummeling in style Rumble streamer Sneako throughout a sparring session went viral. Paul provided Strickland $1 million to fly to Puerto Rico and spar him in entrance of cameras.
“The man appears to be having some form of quarter-life disaster there and spazzing out on everybody attempting to beat up some influencers and such,” Paul mentioned about Strickland. “It’s a typical story of those UFC guys who name me out after which go quiet. I mentioned I’ll ship you to PJ. I’ve acquired DMs. I’ll put the DMs up on the display screen. I mentioned I’ll ship you to PJ. Let me know the place. We may spar for 1,000,000 {dollars}.”
Paul then proceeded to share his DMs with Strickland. “Are you able to come subsequent week? Any day works! Will ship you a aircraft,” Paul wrote. Strickland responded, “I need to my Twitter simply seen this… What about an actual battle? Idk if I can get the UFC on board however with their involvement I believe we are able to make it occur. Conor did it with Mayweather…”
Their dialog concluded with Paul including, “They’ll by no means allow you to battle me however you may ask them. I’m right here able to spar or battle lmk.” Strickland replied, “I’m gonna to speak to Hunter a few battle. Man that could be a massive f*cking paycheck let me see what I can do.”
Jake Paul Accuses Sean Strickland of hiding behind a ‘Powerful man advanced’
In a video on YouTube, Strickland confirmed that he had spoken to Hunter Campbell — the UFC’s chief enterprise officer — who promptly shut down talks of the pairing.
“Abruptly it’s, ‘Oh, I might get sued by the UFC if I sparred Jake,’ however you simply sparred Sneako. You may spar with anybody. Contractually, in your UFC contract, it says nothing about sparring,” Paul mentioned.
“I see a really insecure misplaced wannabe alpha male that’s hiding behind a tricky man advanced. He wants a hug. I’ll put my comfortable arms on his little bald and make him really feel the love that his mom or father by no means gave him.“
